The federal government’s Thrift Savings Plan is catching up with services already provided by similar firms in the civilian sector: a mobile app, online chat assistance and electronic funds transfer.
Starting this summer, the savings plan – the equivalent of a 401(k) retirement account for military members and civilian workers – will also offer mutual funds for the first time in addition to its stable of index funds.

REVISED BUSINESS RULES.//
RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN replaces reference (a) and announces the policy and
guidance for Calendar Year (CY) 2022 Season one Meritorious Advancement
Program (MAP) for Active Duty (Active Component and Training and
Administration of the Reserve (TAR)) Sailors. MAP season one will run from 1
March through 15 April 2022.
2. MAP will account for approximately 20 percent of total advancements
during CY22, with roughly half of the available MAP quotas allocated for each
of two MAP seasons during the year. The two-season framework aligns MAP with
the NWAE to ensure any unused MAP quotas are included in the NWAE cycle, and
to emphasize the intent of MAP to select and reward top performing
Sailors. To meet required time-in-rate for MAP advancement eligibility,
Sailors must have a date of rank no later than the following:
a. E-5: 1 January 2021
b. E-5 (Nuclear-Trained Sailors): 1 January 2020
c. E-4 and below: No TIR requirement
3. In order to control over-advancing particular rate-paygrade combinations
and maintain rating health, MAP advancement to AO3 and RS3 for Active Duty
Sailors will be controlled as outlined in paragraph 6.
4. In line with reference (b), MAP advancement to ABH2, ABF2, GSM2 and CS2
for Active Component Sailors is not authorized due to new advancement
opportunities available within the Detailing Marketplace Assignment Policy
(DMAP) for those rates beginning 1 March 22. Visit MyNavy HRs DMAP website,
located at https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Detailing/Enlisted/Detailing-Marketplace/, for more information.
5. Commands are required to have two Navy Standard Integrated Personnel
System (NSIPS) MAP user roles (command reviewer and command reporting senior)
in order to submit MAP advancement(s), exception(s) to policy (ETP) and
additional MAP quota requests through NSIPS. NSIPS Web Afloat users and
commands without access to NSIPS should refer to paragraph 5a for
instructions on submitting their MAP advancements. The system will use
authoritative data to determine eligibility, however, commands are still
required to locally validate that MAP candidates have successfully completed
the professional military knowledge eligibility examination requirement
prior to the first day of the MAP season (1 March 2022), as outlined
in reference (c). For training on user roles, log into NSIPS via
https://www.nsips.navy.mil and click on training tab, then click MAP
tutorial (JPA).
a. NSIPS Web Afloat users and commands without access to NSIPS must
submit a MAP nomination request via e-mail directly to their immediate
superior in charge (ISIC), type commander (TYCOM) or budget submitting office
(BSO)/echelon II command using the meritorious certification letter
(MCL). The letter must be signed by the commanding officer and should
address any ETP and/or additional quotas requested. Sample MCLs and detailed
information regarding the offline process can be found via MyNavy Portal
(MNP) at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion/a-enlisted-advancement-resources-and-links, then select the *Websites*
tab in the blue banner, and then select the MAP homepage.
b. Quota usage, modifications and distribution will be managed within
the NSIPS environment. BSO and command quotas will be uploaded into NSIPS on
20 February 2022 and can be found under the quota summary report tab. Quotas
can also be found via MNP at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion/a-enlisted-advancement-resources-and-links, then select the
*Websites* tab in the blue banner, and then select the MAP homepage.
c. Additional quotas can be requested using the quota request option by
the command reviewer user role. Commands must contact their BSO to determine
timeline for additional quota requests. Whether or not command quotas are
authorized, all commands have the opportunity to request quotas from their
BSO/echelon II command, via their ISIC and TYCOM, unless the rating is not
authorized for MAP in line with paragraphs 3 above.
d. NSIPS will automatically determine if an ETP is required using
predetermined criteria. Service Members in ratings requiring security
clearances and rates/pay grades requiring time in rate TIR waivers will be
automatically routed for adjudication. The request will be routed through
the ISIC, TYCOM, and BSO/echelon II command using a hierarchical workflow.
e. NSIPS will not automatically generate an ETP for Nuclear-trained
Service Members. Commands desiring to advance a nuclear-trained Service
Member not meeting the TIR requirement must request an ETP to Director,
Military Personnel Plans and Policy (OPNAV N13) via the Nuclear Program
Manager (OPNAV N133).
6. MAP Advancements in Controlled Rates. Commands desiring to MAP a Sailor
to AO3 or RS3 must submit a request to their BSO, via their ISIC and TYCOM,
using the quota request option in NSIPS. If the command does not have access
to NSIPS, they should follow the procedures in paragraph 5a. BSOs will be
granted MAP quotas for each rate based on the proportion of the billets
authorized (BA) at the lower paygrade of that rate under that BSO. If there
are not enough quotas for all BSOs with BA for the lower paygrade, the
quotas will be allocated to the BSOs with the largest amount of BA for the
lower paygrade. BSOs will be contacted by BUPERS-32 to inform them of how
many of their assigned quotas shall be used only for the specified
rates. Commands will submit requests to the BSOs using the template provided
on the MAP homepage via MNP at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-
and-promotion/a-enlisted-advancement-resources-and-links, then select the
*Websites* tab in the blue banner, and then select the MAP homepage.
7. MAP Website. MAP quotas by unit identification code, forms and
frequently asked questions can be found at
https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion/a-enlisted-
advancement-resources-and-links, then select the *Websites* tab in the blue
banner and then select the MAP homepage. The list of points of contact for
each BSO/echelon II command and list of parent and subordinate UICs can also
be found on the above website.
8. Contact MyNavy Career Center (MNCC) at (833) 330-6622 or email at

Commands will be able to meritoriously advance Sailors this spring between March 1 and April 15 as the Navy announced the Calendar Year 2022 Meritorious Advancement Season One details in NAVADMIN 038/22 on Feb. 15.
The intent of Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP) is to select the most qualified Sailors to advance to the next paygrade outside of the advancement cycles.Deckplate leaders observing Sailors daily know them best. Through MAP, the Navy gives those leaders a voice in the advancement process by allowing commands to move up their most deserving Sailors twice each year, aligned with the semi-annual Navy-wide advancement exam cycles.
Ahead of the application window, the Navy will release this season's quotas by unit identification code in the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) on February 20.
MAP Quotas by Unit Identification Code, along with example forms and frequently asked questions, are available on MyNavy Portal https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion/a-enlisted-advancement-resources-and-links. Once on the site, select "Websites" tab in the blue banner.
To control over-manning and maintain rating health, MAP advancement to the AO3 and RS3 rates will be controlled. Meritorious advancements in these rates are still possible, but approval is through a separate process regulated by the Fleet Commanders. Requesting quotas for the controlled rates is outlined within the NAVADMIN. Any unused MAP quotas will then factor into those available for the fall NWAE cycle.
MAP advancement to ABH2, ABF2, GSM2 and CS2 is not authorized because these rates have new advancement opportunities under the Detailing Marketplace Assignment Policy beginning 1 March. These include Advance to Position and Command Advance to Position. More information can be found in NAVADMIN 280/21, Detailing Marketplace Assignment Policy (DMAP) or on the MyNavy HR website DMAP section, located at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion/a-enlisted-advancement-resources-and-links.
The preferred way for commands to request all MAP advancements is through NSIPS. Those without access to NSIPS must submit their Meritorious Certification Letters by e-mail through their chain of command within the same time frames.
One reminder for commands is that Sailors being meritoriously advanced must have completed their required Professional Military Knowledge Eligibility Examination before the first day of the MAP season which is 1 March 2022.
As has been the case in recent years, meritorious advancements will account for roughly 20 percent of all E-4 through E-6 promotions during the 2022 calendar year – approximately half allocated for each of the two seasons during the year.

SAN DIEGO - Two logistics specialists assigned to Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Atlantic were chosen as the top enlisted Sailors for Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021.
Logistics Specialist First Class (LS1) John Eddington and Logistics Specialist Second Class (LS2) Danetria Cotton were named NAVWAR Sailor and Junior Sailor of the Year, respectively, at a ceremony Feb. 4 at NAVWAR Headquarters.Selected from a field of exceptional performers, NAVWAR Sailor of the Year is a prestigious honor recognizing Sailors who embody sustained superior performance, command impact, proven leadership and the Navy’s core values.
“LS1 Eddington and LS2 Cotton truly represent the Navy’s core values, demonstrating initiative, loyal devotion to duty, and determination to excel in any situation,” said NAVWAR Commander Rear Adm. Doug Small. “Their dedication and commitment to the mission made them stand out in a field of extraordinary talent and we could not be more proud.”
Eddington will be presented with the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal while Cotton received the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal.
Eddington distinguished himself through meritorious service as NIWC Atlantic’s Naval Tactical Command Support Systems (NTCSS) Relational Supply Installations team lead, where he established a new digital daily status reporting system, for both NAVWAR and the Navy. With the new reporting system, Eddington successfully submitted almost 300 digital reports, detailing the status of fleet program installations, giving keen insight into the installation process and providing historical lessons learned to ensure the success of current and future installations.
Results driven and focused on improving fleet readiness, Eddington worked as a deck plate leader ensuring installation training, acted as an astute mentor to junior Sailors across the fleet, and served as treasurer, now secretary, elected by his peers, in the First Class Petty Officer Mess.
Dedicated to self-improvement, Eddington is working towards a bachelor’s degree in business and management and continually volunteers his time, giving back to local communities in need, enhancing morale and community relations on behalf of the NAVWAR and the Navy.
“When I found out that I was named Sailor of the Year for NIWC Atlantic and NAVWAR, I felt a deep sense of accomplishment and I was humbled by the recognition,” said Eddington. “I feel privileged to be able to represent my command.”
Eddington, in turn, gave credit to those who supported him throughout his career for helping him achieve this success.
“I think about all the support of those who assisted me getting to where I am today and I am filled with gratitude for being around so many great people that believe in me,” said Eddington.
Cotton said she was overwhelmed with joy when she found out she had been named Junior Sailor of the Year.
“It is one of my greatest accomplishments,” said Cotton.
Cotton distinguished herself through exceptional performance of her duties, dedicated leadership and technical expertise as NIWC Atlantic’s relational supply (R-supply) division analyst. She provided logistics support to commands both on shore and afloat, resolving over 150 trouble tickets, correcting several R-supply challenges through remote technical assistance, and restoring database functionality to return ships to their full mission capabilities.
Cotton was a key player for the End-of-Fiscal-Year Supply Financial close-outs throughout the Fleet. As her division’s Assistant General Military Training (GMT) Coordinator and Training Petty Officer, she helped improve the naval knowledge, standards and readiness of 20 Sailors, including conducting more than 100 hours of in-rate training for five Sailors. As an active volunteer for the Hampton Roads “Meals on Wheels” program, she delivered meals to elderly and disabled residents of the Suffolk County area.
NIWC Atlantic Commanding Officer Capt. Nicole Nigro also shared her praise and congratulations for Eddington and Cotton’s achievements.
“LS1 Eddington and LS2 Cotton have demonstrated the very best in professionalism. I’m grateful for the leadership and drive they have displayed to bring the very best to NIWC Atlantic’s information warfare mission.”

RMKS/1. The Department of the Navy's warfighting advantage lies in the high
-quality force of our people. Mission success requires building a strong,
diverse and healthy force, and eliminating harmful behaviors that stand in
our way.
2. The Workplace and Gender Relations (WGR) Survey of Military Members is an
opportunity that comes every other year to voice where we are succeeding and
where we have an opportunity to create healthier climates and prevent gender
discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual assault. The WGR is an
evidence-based means to scientifically measure attitudes and experiences
about the work environment that we may not otherwise be able to capture.
3. This Department of Defense survey is voluntary, confidential, and may be
taken during working hours. I strongly encourage Commanding Officers and
small unit leaders to create incentives for active duty and reserve personnel
to take the survey during the duty day and promote survey participation.
4. The survey is available through March 3, 2022 at
https://www.dodsurveys.mil/ and accessible on any internet-enabled device.
5. It is a personal priority of mine to ensure that we promote a climate of
trust, respect, and inclusion. Your participation in this survey enables us
to understand how we are living up to our core values of honor, courage, and
commitment. Thank you.

The Navy is accelerating the rate of separations from the service due to refusal to get vaccinated against COVID-19 removing 112 sailors this week, according to the service’s latest COVID-19 update.
Of the 240 total sailors separated for vaccine refusal, 217 had been in the service longer than 6 months, 22 were for sailors who were in for less than six months and one was a reservist.
It was not immediately clear from the release how long the recently separated sailors served. At least 23 of the active-duty sailors already separated served less than six years, USNI News previously reported.

QUANTICO, Va. - The U.S. Naval Community College selected Alexandria Technical & Community College for its Pilot II Nuclear Engineering Technology associate degree program.
This agreement provides active duty enlisted Sailors an opportunity to earn a naval-relevant and nuclear engineering-focused associate degree which directly contributes to the readiness of the naval services and set them on a path of life-long learning.The USNCC worked with Alexandria College during the Pilot I phase of the USNCC’s development and was selected to continue to be a part of the USNCC consortium for the continued growth of the newly established institution.
“We are excited to continue our relationship with Alexandria College,” said Randi Cosentino, Ed.D., president of the USNCC. “The education and support the Alexandria College team provided our Sailors during Pilot I were exactly what we were looking for from an institution in our consortium, and we hope to continue to work together to further develop our warfighters’ critical thinking and leadership skills.”
“We are very honored to have been selected to be a partner with the USNCC Pilot II Nuclear Engineering Technology program,” said Michael Seymour, president of Alexandria College. “We are committed to serving the military community in new and effective ways. Our caring staff and faculty stand ready to ensure military members have a great experience here at Alexandria College.”
Naval professionals who pursue the associate degree in Nuclear Engineering Technology through the USNCC will have an opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of engineering principles and ethics, quality assurance, radiological and chemistry controls, and more. The degree will also have an established transfer path to four-year degree programs in nuclear engineering.
“For the past year, I have had the opportunity to teach calculus to Sailors as part of the Pilot I project. I have enjoyed getting to know these students, and I am impressed by their ability to study and achieve excellent results in class while still performing their active-duty jobs,” said Justin Eberhardt, mathematics instructor at Alexandria College. “I look forward to the next phase of this project, which will increase the enrollment of the USNCC to further enhance the warfighting advantage across forces.”
While talking about Alexandria College’s selection for this continued relationship with the USNCC, Tamara Arnott, Ph.D., Dean of Educational Services, said Alexandria College offers “the strength of its online programs, excellent student outcomes, a student-first mentality and unwavering commitment to student access and success.” Arnott said, “As a member of the Minnesota State system, we provide an extraordinary education to all students who select Alexandria College.” Minnesota State Colleges and Universities are regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.
Active duty enlisted Sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen can fill out an application on the USNCC website, www.usncc.edu . The first courses will start in the fall of 2022.
The United States Naval Community College is the community college for the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. To get more information about the USNCC, go to www.usncc.edu . Click on the student interest form link to learn how to be a part of the USNCC Pilot II program.

FOR NUCLEAR TRAINED ENLISTED PERSONNEL.
REF B IS NAVADMIN 157/19, SEA SHORE FLOW ENLISTED CAREER PATHS UPDATE FOR
NUCLEAR TRAINED JUNIOR STAFF INSTRUCTORS.//
RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN updates and replaces the sea shore flow (SSF) career
path in reference (a). The SSF career path for junior staff instructors
(JSI) outlined in reference (b) remains in effect.
2. The Nuclear Propulsion Program Manager (OPNAV N133) identified a downward
trend in reenlistment behavior in selective reenlistment bonus (SRB) Zone B
(six to ten years of service) in the nuclear enlisted community. The nuclear
aggregate reenlisted inventory in SRB Zone B is at 76 percent of the overall
zone goal as of October 2021. Submarine and surface reenlisted inventories
in SRB Zone B are at 84 percent and 63 percent, respectively, of their zone
goals.
Some modifications to the current SSF career path outlined in reference (a)
are required to ensure continued success for Sailors that comprise the Naval
Nuclear Propulsion Program enterprise.
These changes improve alignment between the nuclear SSF career path and the
eligibility requirements for reenlisting with SRB in Zone B. The changes
outlined below in paragraph 3 provide the following advantages for Sailors
who reenlist in SRB Zone B:
a. Provides the obligated service (OBLISERV) necessary for a Sailors
first shore tour and does not commit the Sailor to a second sea tour.
b. Allows Sailors to earn a Zone B bonus to OBLISERV for their
shore tour.
c. Provides the ability for applicable Sailors to transfer GI Bill
benefits to their dependents without committing to a second sea tour.
d. Provides the opportunity to earn a college degree while on shore duty
by either using the GI Bill or tuition assistance.
e. Provides the opportunity to earn higher-level qualifications
(e.g., engineering watch supervisor or propulsion plant watch supervisor) and
serve in senior leadership positions on a Sailors first sea tour.
f. Provides better at-sea watch bill flexibility due to increased at-sea
manning.
3. The modifications to the SSF contained in reference (a) are as follows
a. Extends the first sea tour from 48 months to 54 months.
b. Adjusts the two career milestone gates to 10.5 years and 17.5 years
for the second sea tour and third sea tour, respectively.
c. Maintains all follow-on sea tours after the first sea tour at 40
months for all paygrades.
d. Maintains shore tour lengths as prescribed in reference (a).
4. The modified SSF is displayed in paragraph 5. The initial training
pipeline for all Sailors is set to a nominal length of 24 months. Sea tours
are annotated below as SEA and shore duty is annotated as SHR. All numbers
in paragraph 5 are in months.
5. The SSF is modified as follows for a Sailor who does not serve as a JSI
SEA1 SHR1 SEA2 SHR2 SEA3 SHR3 SEA4 SHR4
54 36 40 36 40 36 40 36
NOTE 1: Navy Personnel Command, Enlisted Submarine/Nuclear Power assignments
(PERS-403) will issue shore tour orders up to 40 months for billets that
require additional training or qualification.
6. The career milestone gates will be utilized as follows
a. PERS-403 will not delay a Sailors return to sea to align them with
these gates.
b. If a Sailor is behind the nominal SSF career path and approaching a
gate, PERS-403 will adjust the Sailors future tour lengths when issuing
orders to align their planned rotation date with the gate or obtain a waiver
from OPNAV N133 to exceed the gate.
A Sailors shore tour length would normally not need to be reduced if the
nominal SSF was being executed.
c. PERS-403 will maintain shore tour lengths of at least 24 months (plus
any required training or qualification period) unless a waiver is received.
d. Sailors who are unable to meet a gate will be handled on a
case-by-case basis and will require a waiver submitted by PERS-403 and
approved by OPNAV N133.
7. These policy changes will require close coordination between the command,
each nuclear-trained enlisted Sailor and PERS-403 to facilitate a smooth
transition to the new SSF. Therefore, implementation of these changes will
be phased as follows:
a. Effective immediately, all new first sea tour orders issued by
PERS-403 will comply with the tour lengths shown in paragraph 5.
b. The 10.5-year and 17.5 year gate discussed in paragraph 3 are
effective immediately. Waivers are required to exceed these gates, as
discussed in paragraph 6.
c. To allow Sailors and their families time to plan for potential future
duty station changes, projected rotation date (PRD) changes should be made
using the following guidance. The *effective date* referenced below is 1
April 2022 to coincide with the April/May 2022 MyNavy Assignment cycle.
(1) For Sailors on their first sea tour:
(a) Sailors within 12 months of their previously established PRD
at the time of the effective date will not have their PRD shifted unless the
Sailor routes an enlisted personnel action request (NAVPERS 1306/7) that is
endorsed by the command specifically requesting the PRD change.
(b) Sailors who have a PRD greater than 12 months, but less than
or equal to 14 months from the effective date, will have their PRD shifted to
align to a 50-month sea tour, unless otherwise requested by the command.
(c) Sailors who have a PRD greater than 14 months, but less than
or equal to 16 months from the effective date, will have their PRD shifted to
align to a 52-month sea tour, unless otherwise requested by the command.
(d) Sailors who are greater than 16 months from their PRD from
the effective date will have their PRD shifted to align with the new SSF.
d. Within three months of the date of this NAVADMIN, all commands shall
submit a PRD planning letter or message to PERS-403 using the guidance of
paragraph 7c. PERS-403 will coordinate with OPNAV N133 to adjudicate waivers
to the career milestone gates based on the information received.
8. A downloadable graphic that displays the modified SSF is available on the
OPNAV N133 website at the following address:
https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Community-
Management/Enlisted/Nuclear/CCC-Toolbox/.
Commands are encouraged to download this product and post it for Sailors to
review.
9. Points of contact. For all questions and concerns, leaders and Sailors
should contact the following individuals:
a. Nuclear Enlisted Community Management Team (OPNAV (N133D)) at the
following:
(1) CDR James Kepper at (703) 604-5493/DSN 664 or via e-mail at
