There you have it @LPOLCPOCWO is correct: "You may not introduce anything about a candidate that is not documented in the candidate's record or letter to the board." I looked at the latest copy and it pretty much covers it. I think every aspiring Chief should view a copy of the latest precept to gain some knowledge.

UNCLASSIFIED// ROUTINE R 261758Z AUG 21 MID200001077793U FM CNO WASHINGTON DC TO NAVADMIN INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC BT UNCLAS NAVADMIN 188/21 MSGID/GENADMIN/CNO WASHINGTION DC/N1/AUG// SUBJ/FISCAL YEAR 2022 GENERAL MILITARY TRAINING REQUIREMENTS// REF/A/DOC/OSD/DODI 1322.31/20FEB2020// REF/B/MSG/CNO WASHINGTON DC/161940ZDEC20// NARR/REF A IS DOD INSTRUCTION 1322.31, COMMON MILITARY TRAINING. REF B IS NAVADMIN 329/20, CULTURE OF EXCELLENCE SIMPLIFY AND ALIGN.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces general military training (GMT) requirements for fiscal year (FY) 2022. In line with reference (a), the Navy has minimized the number of mandatory GMT topics to empower commanders to decide what training their personnel should receive and how often they should receive it. Commanding officers (CO) should review the command discretion GMT list to determine the frequency and method of additional training appropriate for their command. 2. FY-22 Mandatory GMT Requirements a. Mandatory GMT must be completed by all military personnel. b. The following mandatory GMT is required to be completed in FY-22: (1) Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Awareness (2) Cyber Awareness Challenge (3) Counterintelligence Awareness and Reporting (4) Records Management (5) Suicide Prevention (6) Anti-Terrorism Level 1 (7) Privacy Act c. Commands may elect to complete Cyber Awareness Challenge training using instructor-led and/or computer-based methods. d. The recommended method of delivery for SAPR and Suicide Prevention annual training is via face-to-face, small group facilitated discussions. While this remains the most effective lesson delivery method, this NAVADMIN authorizes COs to adapt or modify FY-22 SAPR and Suicide Prevention GMT delivery methods consistent with coronavirus mitigation procedures and operational commitments to meet these training requirements. If in-person, face-to-face delivery is not feasible, the preferred alternative is facilitated small group training via teleconference, Defense Collaboration Services, or DoD365 Microsoft Teams. SAPR and Suicide Prevention training is not authorized for delivery via non-Department of Defense (DOD) approved collaborative technology (e.g. Facebook, Zoom, etc.). Facilitated small group training using approved video conferencing technology is considered *face-to-face*. Senior commanders have the authority to issue guidance that is more restrictive to their subordinate commands. 3. FY-22 Command Discretion GMT a. Command discretion GMT is not required at any specified periodicity, but may have situational requirements (i.e. initial entry, pre-deployment, career milestones, etc.). COs should train their personnel at a time and place that best meets their command and mission needs. b. The list of discretionary training topics has been updated to reflect the effort of the Culture of Excellence Oversight Committee, to simplify and align policies and programs that are duplicative or ineffective. For a comprehensive list of consolidated or cancelled training products, refer to reference (b). c. COs may assign the following topics at their discretion: (1) Center for Development of Security Excellence Insider Threat Course (2) Combating Trafficking in Persons (3) Domestic Violence Prevention and Reporting (4) Energy Policy (5) Equal Opportunity, Harassment and Resolution Options (6) Operational Risk Management (7) Operations Security (8) Personal Financial Management (9) Sexual Health and Responsibility (10) Traumatic Brain Injury (11) Tactical Combat Casualty Care All Service Members/ Tier 1 d. Combating Trafficking in Persons training is required within one year of initial entry of service. e. Personal Financial Management training does not have a required annual periodicity, but is instead mandatory at personal and professional touchpoints across the military lifecycle in accordance with reference (a). f. Financial Readiness touchpoint courses are available via Navy e-Learning (search for the title *touchpoint* under the Course Catalog tab) and the MyNavy Financial Literacy mobile app. If preferred, in-person training can be provided by a Fleet and Family Support Center Personal Financial Manager or a Command Financial Specialist. In-person training information and resources can be found at https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Support-Services/21st-Century-Sailor/Family- Readiness/Personal-Financial-Mgmt/. 4. Additional Information a. The GMT webpage can be found on the MyNavy Portal at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/general-skills-training/gmt/. b. Detailed requirements for each topic are listed on the GMT webpage and should be reviewed thoroughly by commands prior to assigning training. The webpage provides topic-specific information such as: (1) Instructor and documentation requirements (2) Training in combined military-civilian sessions (3) Links to instructor guides and other training products c. Current SAPR and Suicide Prevention training materials are not designed for individual/self-study. Training using methods other than facilitated small group sessions will be challenging. Feedback, lessons learned and recommendations for more effective training delivery are encouraged. Please provide your recommendations or refer any questions to the following points of contact: (1) SAPR training: Ms. Andrea Verdino, OPNAV N17, andrea.j.verdino(at)navy.mil. (2) Suicide Prevention training: Ms. Ruth Cassidy, OPNAV N17, ruth.cassidy(at)navy.mil. (3) Training policy: LCDR Jonathan Greenberg, OPNAV N13M7T, jonathan.d.greenberg(at)navy.mil. d. All SAPR training materials are for official use only. SAPR training materials shall not be loaded onto publically accessible websites (e.g. YouTube, Facebook, etc.). Additionally, the following disclaimer should be added at the beginning of each SAPR training session that is not conducted in person: We understand that participating in SAPR training can be difficult. If you need advocacy support at any time, please contact the on-call Sexual Assault Response Coordinator/Victim Advocate at [please insert contact information for the local Sexual Assault Response Center or Victims Advocate] or the DOD Safe helpline at https://www.safehelpline.org/look- inside-Safe-Helpline or 877-995-5247. 5. GMT questions or feedback should be sent via e-mail to gmt.distribution(at)navy.mil. 6. This NAVADMIN will remain in effect until superseded or 30 September 2022, whichever occurs first. 7.

I honestly don't see where it would hurt either. You are asking a board member to look for discrepancies 1.) from a different perspective and 2.) from a knowledge set that the Sailor does not have. I'll be following the SM military perspective now, thanks for that article.

Ah! So I read the whole thing. I see what the purpose is, to root out extremism but then could it be used by the board members for advancement eventually? Again my guess is no because board members already have an agenda that is set pretty tight but it makes you wonder if there would ever be a connection, possibly in the future.

That's cool, this would be the place to debate/ discuss it anyway. I absolutely did not know that the Pentagon looked at member's SM so that is news to me.

I agree and hope it is not considered but there are civilian companies that do look through social media before they hire.

Interesting question. I never thought about that. My though is no. One thing I'm sure is that it would not happen during the board meetings because it is high paced as I am told. They have a dead set agenda. that would mean they have to look up the names outside of the board.

MEMORANDUM FOR SENIOR PENTAGON LEADERSHIP COMMANDERS OF THE CO MBA TANT COMMANDS DEFENSE AGENCY AND DOD FIELD ACTIVITY DIRECTORS SUBJECT: Mandatory Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination of Department of Defense Service Members

(CNN)The Pentagon is mandating that US military service members get fully vaccinated against Covid-19 immediately, after the Food and Drug Administration fully approved the Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus vaccine this week. "After careful consultation with medical experts and military leadership, and with the support of the President, I have determined that mandatory vaccination against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is necessary to protect the Force and defend the American people," Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin wrote in a memo released Wednesday. He added, "To defend this Nation, we need a healthy and ready force."

FY22 - Cycle 108, SELRES/ FTS CPO Results

The Navy is reconsidering its plan to reduce medical staff -- part of a military-wide review of 18,000 proposed job cuts in health fields -- in response to lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic, the service's top doctor said Thursday. As part of a massive effort to reform the military health system, the Defense Department announced in 2019 that the services would reduce their uniformed medical staff by roughly 18,000, mainly by attrition -- not filling jobs after a service member departs -- but also through reductions of billets.

Ok you Reserve guys and gals. Now is a good time to join the forum while you wait for the NAVADMIN.

Anyone have a copy?

Pentagon officials said Monday they will require all military service members to receive a Covid-19 vaccine.

So for those new to the game, TRIAD (CO, XO, CMC,) got their copies (or have available to them a copy) of the results. Tomorrow at 11 ET you should be able to see the results and a public version of the the NAVADMIN will be made available to the public. This is usually 24hrs after TRIAD has received their copy. The purpose is that it gives TRIAD an opportunity to congratulate their troops first.

FTS/SELRES 23 Aug - TRIAD 24 Aug - Public release Expecting 11AM release but that is not official.

The corporate world may want to take a page out of the U.S. Navy’s manual when it comes to boosting workforce Covid-19 vaccination rates. The Navy is the pride of the U.S. military when it comes to inoculation: 76% of active duty members are fully vaccinated, the highest rate of the main four branches, according to data provided by each. And at a rate of 56%, the broader U.S. population has a ways to catch up.
