[Navy Releases New Guidance on Separating Sailors for Vaccine Refusal]

Sailors who are not granted an exemption for the COVID-19 vaccine will have five days to initiate the vaccination process before facing separation, according to new Navy guidance.

Active-duty sailors must be fully vaccinated by Nov. 28, unless they have a pending or approved exemption, according to previous naval guidance. Fully vaccinated means they are two-weeks-post the second shot of the FDA-approved Pfizer shot, the emergency use authorized-Moderna vaccine or the single-dose Johnson and Johnson version.

In order for active-duty sailors to meet this deadline, they would have needed to receive the last shot on Sunday. Reservists have until Dec. 28 to be fully vaccinated.

[Department of Defense Releases Annual Demographics Report — Modest Increase of Women in the Active Duty Force]

While the overall size and racial diversity of our military remained steady, the number of women serving in the active duty force, both enlisted and officers has grown slightly, according to the newly released 2020 Demographics Profile of the Military Community report.

The demographics profile of the military community is an annual report on the demographic makeup of the military community, including service members and their dependents. This year’s release of official DoD data is fully interactive, enabling users to customize how they view the latest data on the military community.

RMKS/1.  This NAVADMIN announces three significant changes to the leader 
development paths outlined in the Navy Leader Development Framework 
(NLDF).  These requirements will be incorporated into future revisions of 
references (a) and (b).  Reference (a) outlines how our Navy will develop 
leaders who demonstrate operational excellence, strong character and 
resilience at every level of seniority. 
 
2.  Enlisted Leader Development (ELD).  Reference (b) states that the various 
levels of ELD replaced similar levels of the now-defunct Petty Officer 
Selectee Leadership Courses.  ELD courses are to be completed while in 
current paygrade (i.e., all E-5 Sailors must complete the Intermediate Leader 
Development Course (ILDC) while serving as an E-5 and prior to eligibility 
for advancement to E-6). The Foundational Leader Development Course (FLDC) is 
for Sailors in paygrades E-3 and E-4.  The ILDC is for Sailors in paygrade  
E-5. The Advanced Leader Development Course (ALDC) is for Sailors in paygrade 
E-6.  ILDC and ALDC will be a prerequisite for advancement to E-6 and E-7 
respectively, starting in calendar year 2025.  FLDC will still be available 
but will not be a requirement for eligibility for advancement. 
    a.  Naval Leadership and Ethics Command (NLEC) San Diego and NLEC Dam 
Neck are responsible for training all Command-Navy Leader Development 
Facilitators (C-NLDF) in the Fleet.  Only Chief Petty Officers (CPO), Senior 
Chief Petty Officers (SCPO), or Master Chief Petty Officers (MCPO) who have 
attended and passed the C-NLDF course may facilitate FLDC, ILDC, and ALDC 
classes.  Previously qualified Master Mobile Team Trainers must maintain 
their qualification through NLEC San Diego and NLEC Dam Neck in order to 
qualify new C-NLDF facilitators.  A minimum of two qualified facilitators are 
required to conduct any of these courses at a local command. Command Master 
Chiefs (CMDCM) are responsible for managing the number of qualified C-NLDFs 
and tracking the number Sailors who have completed ELD courses at their 
commands in the Fleet Training Management and Planning System (FLTMPS). 
    b.  The FLDC, ILDC and ALDC classes can be completed either virtually by 
NLEC staff or in-person by NLEC staff or trained C-NLDFs.  The C-NLDF course 
and the Chief Petty Officer Leader Development Course (CPO-LDC) will only be 
offered as in-person learning.  Only certified C-NLDFs at the SCPO or MCPO 
level who are CPO-LDC qualified may facilitate CPO-LDC.  NLEC San Diego and 
NLEC Dam Neck currently offer CPO-LDC and will be responsible for the 
certification of CPO-LDC facilitators.  CPO-LDC will be a prerequisite for 
advancement to E-8 commencing with the Fiscal Year 2026 Selection 
Board.  Units will also enter and verify documentation of completion in 
FLTMPS for CPOs attending CPO-LDC. 
    c.  Leader development for MCPOs that are not on a community-specific 
command track will be completed in conjunction with the Senior Leader Course 
(SLC) identified in paragraph 4 below. 
 
3.  Intermediate Leadership Course (ILC).  This course offers one week of 
high-impact, professional learning experiences intended to facilitate and 
foster the growth of motivated and engaged leaders who are dedicated to 
building effective teams and implementing a command vision.  This is 
accomplished through an emphasis on self-awareness, decision science, ethical 
decision making, bias awareness and in-class engagements concentrated on 
developing and enhancing the skills required to inspire, connect and 
strengthen the performance of our Navy team. 
    a.  The ILC is required for all intermediate-level officers with 
7 to 12 years of commissioned service and serves as the formal linkage 
between the Division Officer Leadership Course and applicable leadership 
courses for more senior officers.  While the course may be completed in 
conjunction with other required community-specific training, such as an 
established department head (DH) pipeline in line with exhibit 1 of reference 
(c), assignment to DH positions or positions of similar responsibility are 
not a consideration for attendance. 
    b.  The ILC is offered at NLEC Newport, NLEC San Diego and NLEC Dam 
Neck.  Unit commanders, commanding officers and officers-in-charge will 
ensure officers meeting the requirements outlined in reference (c), as 
clarified in paragraph 3a, have the opportunity to attend ILC.  Units will 
also enter and verify documentation of completion in FLTMPS for each officer 
attending ILC. 
 
4.  Senior Leader Course (SLC).  This course offers one week of high-impact, 
professional learning experiences intended to facilitate the empowerment of 
adaptive and inspirational leaders to recognize and embrace their ability to 
influence and shape organizations.  This is accomplished through a focus on 
self-awareness, decision science, shaping organizational behavior, ethical 
decision making, bias awareness and resilience. 
   a.  The SLC is required for all Active-Duty officers who have been 
selected for or newly promoted to Commander (O-5) and are not on a community-
specific command track in line with reference (c). Additionally, this course 
is recommended for Active-Duty MCPOs.  Due to class size limitations, 
officers and MCPOs who have been selected for a training path requiring their 
attendance at the command master chief/command senior enlisted leader/chief 
of the boat, prospective executive officer, and/or prospective commanding 
officer leadership courses will not attend SLC.  However, attendance at SLC 
does not prohibit future opportunities for selection to a command track. 
    b.  The SLC is offered at NLEC Newport, NLEC San Diego and NLEC Dam 
Neck.  Unit commanders, commanding officers and officers-in- charge will 
ensure officers and MCPOs meeting the requirements outlined in reference (c), 
as clarified in paragraph 4a, have the opportunity to attend SLC.  Units will 
also enter and verify documentation of completion in FLTMPS for each officer 
or MCPO attending SLC.

[Navy Approves Five Permanent Medical, No Religious Exemptions for COVID-19 Vaccine to Date]

The Navy has so far approved five exemptions for the required COVID-19 vaccination — all medical, a Navy official told USNI News.

The service has approved five permanent medical exemptions for the COVID-19 vaccine so far, said Navy spokesperson Lt. Cmdr. Andrew DeGarmo. No one has been separated or discharged, as of Nov. 1, for not receiving the vaccine and the final snapshot will likely not be ready until Nov. 28, DeGarmo said.

The Navy has not released how many administrative exemptions — which is the category religious exemptions fall under — have been granted in terms of the COVID-19 vaccine, which is mandatory for all active-duty sailors and reservists. However, the Navy has not approved a religious waiver for vaccinations in the past seven years, DeGarmo said.

RMKS/1. The Navy Reserve executes two co-equal missions, providing
the Navy with both strategic depth and operational support. Since
2001, the Navy Reserves prioritization of operational support has
come at the expense of strategic depth. Moving forward, the Navy
Reserve will reorient to build strategic depth in alignment with
refs (a and b), which direct a returned focus on maritime missions.
While operational support remains valuable, support provided will
contribute directly to Sailors mobilization-to-billet readiness per 
ref (d), enhancing the Navy's strategic depth. Existing
nomenclature emphasizing operational support will be revised to fit
the emerging strategic environment.
2. Ref (e) outlines the implementation of new Navy Reserve
nomenclature to better reflect Reserve Force priorities of
warfighting readiness and the mass activation of Sailors in support
of Fleet requirements. Approved changes are listed below in the
following format: [OLD NAME]/[NEW NAME]
 A. The following changes are already implemented per ref (c):
 (1). Operational Support Officer (OSO)/Reserve Program Director
 (RPD)
 (2). Navy Reserve Augment Unit (NRAU)/Navy Reserve Readiness
 Unit (NRRU)
 B. The following changes are effective immediately
 (1). Commissioned Unit/Operational Unit
 (2). Operational Support Plan (OSPLAN)/Readiness Generation Plan
 (3). Operational Support Unit (OSU)/Readiness Support Unit (RSU)
 a. OSU Officer-in-charge (OIC) will transition to NOSC
 Department Head
 (4). Full Time Support (FTS)/Training and Administration of the
 Reserve (TAR)
 a. While TAR will become the service specific term for the
 Navy Reserve, FTS remains a joint term per DODI 1205.18, and
 will remain an accurate overarching term.
 C. The following changes are effective pending Secretary of the
 Navy approval, estimate 01 Jan 2022. Until approved, legacy terms
 should continue to be used in all official correspondence.
 (1). Reserve Component Command (RCC)/Readiness and Mobilization
 Command (RMC)
 (2). Navy Operational Support Center (NOSC)/Navy Reserve Center
 (NRC)
3. Commands are direct to incorporate the new nomenclature in
paragraphs 2.A and 2.B into instructions and official documents
during the next scheduled revisions. Specific guidance regarding
implementation of the new nomenclature in paragraph 2.C, including
funding, will be provided via separate correspondence once approved.

RMKS/1. This message announces general military training (GMT)
requirements for fiscal year (FY) 2022 for the Navy Reserve. 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
 (8) Combating Trafficking in Persons (additional CNRF
requirement for those without documented training in FLTMPS)
 (9) Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) Tier 1 (additional
CNRF requirement).
 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, ref (a) 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 nonDepartment 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.
 e. Combating Trafficking in Persons training is required within
one year of initial entry of service.
 f. Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) Tier 1 Training.
 (1) Per ref (b), TCCC Tier 1 training is a requirement for
all service members (ASM) and is designed to provide basic,
evidence-based lifesaving skills for non-medical personnel at their
duty stations or in preparation for non-combat deployments. The goal
of TCCC Tier 1 is to eliminate preventable deaths by ensuring all
military personnel can provide lifesaving assistance.
 (2) All SELRES and FTS military personnel must complete
TCCC Tier 1 training every three years, and within 12 months of a
deployment/mobilization. Tier 1 certification is valid for three
years from completion date.
 (3) The TCCC Tier 1 course provides information via
in-person or online presentations and interactive skills training,
and includes an in-person skills evaluation. To pass the course,
Sailors must be able to correctly demonstrate five TCCC skills to a
Tier 1 instructor as detailed in the Skills Checklist in a hands-on
setting: rapid casualty assessment, tourniquet application, wound
packing, pressure dressing application, and airway maneuvers.
 (4) Required training materials for the hands-on skills
training and skills evaluation include: CATs (Combat Application
Tourniquet), hemostatic dressings, pressure bandages, and bleeding
control part-task trainers. RESFOR (N7/N9) will coordinate with
subordinate organizations to purchase and/or disburse required
training materials.
 (5) The DoD website for TCCC is
https://www.deployedmedicine.com and contains training courses and
additional resources for each TCCC Tier. This site should be used as
the primary source for curriculum content.
 (6) Personnel with any tier of TCCC certification can
become qualified to teach the TCCC Tier 1 ASM course after: (one of
the below)
 i. Completing online tutorials for trainers on
deployedmedicine.com
 ii. Attending an approved in-person TCCC train-the
trainer course, including B-300-4000 Tactical Combat Casualty Care /
Combat Life Saver – Trainer
 iii. Completing shipboard training team PQS, or
 iv. Currently holding Instructor NEC 805A or Field
Medical Service Technician L03A (or legacy NECs 9502 or 8404,
respectively) The recommended ratio for teaching and assessing TCCC
skills is one trainer for every eight students.
 (7). Individual TCCC training certification completion will
be documented in Fleet Management and Planning System (FLTMPS).
Command training departments are responsible for recording locallycompleted training in FLTMPS, using CIN B-300-2010 and title TCCC
Tier 1 – ASM for standardization.
 (8). Subordinate units should initially focus TCCC Tier 1
training on those Sailors identified for mobilization/deployment
whether unit-related or individual augmentee (IA).
3. 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).
 a. 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/21stCentury-Sailor/Family-Readiness/Personal-Financial-Mgmt/.
 b. Navy Reserve Activities (NRAs) should utilize instructors
at local Fleet and Family Support Centers as well as the 34 Personal
Financial Counselors (PFC) assigned to NRAs across the Force to
provide Financial Literacy and Blended Retirement System (BRS)
training. NRA Commanding Officers shall coordinate to schedule PFCs
and report any problems obtaining instructors to CNRFC N7 POC via
their administrative Chain of Command.
4. 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.
 c. COs may assign the following topics at their discretion:
 (1) Center for Development of Security Excellence Insider
Threat Course
 (2) Domestic Violence Prevention and Reporting
 (3) Energy Policy
 (4) Equal Opportunity, Harassment and Resolution Options
 (5) Operational Risk Management
 (6) Operations Security
 (7) Personal Financial Management
 (8) Sexual Health and Responsibility
 (9) Traumatic Brain Injury
5. 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.
 (4) 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

[Navy Announces January’s Active and FTS E-7 Exam Details]

For the second year, the service will keep COVID-19 protocols in place for E-7 advancement testing, allowing commands to administer exams during a testing window from 17-28 January 2022. The guidance was released in NAVADMIN 236/21 on Oct. 25.

The Chief of Naval Personnel has announced the January 2022 (Cycle 254) E-7 Navy-wide advancement examination for active-duty and Reserve Full-Time Support Sailors. 

For the second year, the service will keep COVID-19 protocols in place, allowing commands to administer exams during a testing window from 17-28 January 2022. The guidance was released in NAVADMIN 236/21 on Oct. 25. 

“This testing window will allow for smaller groups of test takers to ensure adequate social distancing can be maintained between testers at testing facilities, while maintaining the high standards and continued culture of learning that drive our enlisted advancement system,” said Vice Adm. John B. Nowell, Jr., the Chief of Naval Personnel.

The message gives key dates and requirements for eligibility leading up to exam administration only. Details about the selection board itself will be released in a separate message in the coming months. 

E-6’s planning to take the exam must have completed their Professional Military Knowledge - Eligibility Exam (PMK-EE) by Nov. 30.  

This test only has to be completed once, meaning if it was completed for a previous cycle, you should be good to go. However, a good rule of thumb is to check your records and ensure the documentation is there.  

To be eligible to sit for the exam, Sailors must have three years of time in rate (TIR). The terminal eligibility date used to compute this time for the exam is Jan. 1, 2023, making the minimum time in rate date on or before Jan. 1, 2020. 

The only exceptions to this is when commanding officers or officers in charge approve early promote Sailors to take the exam a year early. 

Educational Services Officers must verify TIR eligibility lists on the Navy Enlisted Advancement System website. Initial TIR lists will be available through Oct. 31 and supplemental TIR lists from Nov. 1 through Nov. 28.

Sailors at or above high-year tenure must have a waiver that will be effective Sept. 1, 2022, and must be approved by Jan. 20, 2022.

Many ratings require a security clearance for all Sailors and a complete list is available in the NAVADMIN.  

Sailors in these skills must have a favorable investigation adjudication by the Department of Defense Consolidated Adjudication Facility reflected in the Defense Information System for Security (DISS) prior to Jan. 1.

4.  Selections are conditional upon the selectee remaining fully eligible in 
all respects, meeting physical qualifications for commissioning as determined 
by the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED), and assignment by Naval 
Service Training Command (NSTC) to an approved Naval Reserve Officers 
Training Corps (NROTC) affiliated university based upon an official degree 
plan and acceptance letter from the university.  Upon completion of an NSTC 
approved baccalaureate degree program, selectees will receive appointments as 
Ensigns, USN. 
 
5.  Commanding officers should take the following actions: 
    a.  Notify selectees and alternates of their selection and ensure they 
receive a copy of this message. 
    b.  Notify NSTC N92 Selection and Placement (N92/STA-21) via e-mail at 
GRLK_STA21(at)navy.mil no later than 3 December 2021 of any selectee or 
alternate who does not desire to participate in the program. 
    c.  Immediately report to NSTC (N92/STA-21) all conditions or 
circumstances that may disqualify a selectee or alternate from participating 
in the STA-21 program via e-mail at GRLK_STA21(at)navy.mil. 
 
6.  Selectees and alternates should take the following actions: 
    a.  Complete a physical examination for a training program leading to a 
commission in the unrestricted line, nurse corps, or civil engineering corps, 
as applicable, in accordance with references (a) and (b) at a military 
treatment facility.  Note that many commissioning standards exceed the 
enlisted standards required to remain on active duty. 
    b.  Ensure copies of completed physicals, Report of Medical History 
(DD2807-1), and Report of Medical Examination (DD2808), including Human 
Immunodeficiency Virus results from a test taken after 1 January 2021, are 
submitted no later than 30 December 2021 
to: 
Commander 
Naval Service Training Command 
Attn:  N92/STA-21 
2601A Paul Jones Street 
Great Lakes, IL 60088-2845 
or via DOD-safe (https//safe.apps.mil).  
Aviation option selectees/alternates must have flight physicals uploaded 
directly into Aeromedical Electronic Resource Office by a flight surgeon, and 
submitted to Naval Aerospace Medical Institute.  The selectees/alternates 
must be certified as qualified or have a waiver recommended by Naval Medicine 
Operation Training Center.  All required physical forms can be downloaded 
from the STA-21 homepage at https://www.netc.navy.mil/Naval-Service-Training-
Command/STA21/.  Commands should not forward physical forms directly to 
BUMED. 
    c.  Send acceptance letters from no more than three NROTC host or NROTC 
cross-town affiliated universities to the NSTC address listed above or via 
DOD-safe.  Application to more than one university is advisable.  Selectees 
will begin the STA-21 program with attendance at the Naval Science Institute 
(NSI) in one of two classes starting no later than 14 February 2022 or 4 
April 2022 for a 6 week period. 
    d.  Send an official degree plan from an NROTC host or NROTC cross-town 
affiliated university where they have been accepted. Degree plans must cover 
the time actually attending college.  Degree plans of selectees should begin 
with the summer term 2022.  All STA-21 selectees will be required to attend 
the NSI enroute to their assigned university. 
 
7.  Alternates:  Each alternate must complete the same actions outlined in 
paragraph 6 of this message.  If a primary selectee declines participation in 
the program, is determined to be not physically qualified, or otherwise 
becomes ineligible for continuation in the program prior to executing orders, 
a qualified alternate will be selected.  This notification often comes at the 
last minute, therefore, alternates who desire participation in the STA-21

[ENLISTED WOMEN IN SUBMARINES RATING CONVERSION PROCESS]

What’s New with Enlisted Women in Submarines

The Navy is actively seeking female Sailors to convert into the force to fill open billets on submarines with integrated crews, as well as billets in crews slated for integration.

Five-years after enlisted women first joined the Submarine Force, the Navy has now taken the program to the next level.

Announced in NAVADMIN 233/21 on October 21, female Sailors in non-nuclear ratings and in pay grades E8 and below can apply for conversion into the Submarine Force at any time from now on.

Also, some Female Sailors in nuclear power ratings and training pipelines can apply through a separate approval process.

“The Navy and the Submarine Force are pleased to announce that applications for female Sailors in pay grades E1-E8 to convert to Submarine Force non-nuclear trained ratings are being accepted on a continuous basis,” said Rear Admiral James Waters III, Director, Military Personnel Plans and Policy.

“Applications will be processed as they are received, and there is no specified due date.”

The Navy is actively seeking female Sailors to convert into the force to fill open billets on submarines with integrated crews, as well as billets in crews slated for integration.

Female officers have been going to sea in submarines since 2011. Three years later, the plan to incorporate enlisted women was announced, which took lessons from the past 40 years of integration of women into other Navy communities.

The first cadre of female submariners was built using a top-down approach, instead of from the bottom-up as in previous integrations. This resulted in female officers paving the way, followed by senior enlisted leaders to ensure junior enlisted females had solid support systems to rely on.

Between 2015 and 2018, the Navy made four separate calls for female Sailors to convert into submarine ratings. Currently, there are over 200 enlisted female Sailors serving as part of eight crews.

The long-term plan is that by 2030, 33 submarine crews will have female officers and 14 crews will have female enlisted Sailors. All classes of submarines will be integrated with female officers.

Only the current guided-missile submarines (SSGN) and two ballistic missile submarines (SSBN) have women on board. Going forward, all future Columbia-class ballistic missile submarines and all Virginia-class fast attack submarines, starting with the USS New Jersey (SSN 796), will have enlisted women in their crews.

A complete list of currently integrated submarines and their homeports is listed in the message.

Professional Apprentice Career Track (PACT) Sailors and junior rated Sailors are encouraged to apply, even with limited time in service, no warfare qualification or at-sea experience. 

For E-6 and junior Sailors, the following submarine career fields are open for conversion:

Service Support career fields including Yeoman Submarines (YNS), Culinary Specialist Submarines (CSS) and Logistics Specialist Submarines (LSS).
Submarine Electronics career fields including Sonar Technician Submarines (STS), Fire Control Technician (FT), Electronics Technician-Navigation (ETV), Missile Technician (MT), and Information Systems Technician Submarines (ITS-Electronic Warfare and Communications career paths).
Mechanical career fields include Torpedoman (TM) and Machinists Mate-Auxiliary (MMA).
E-7 and E-8 applications will be accepted in the Information Systems Technician Submarines (ITS-Electronic Warfare and Communications career paths Yeoman Submarines (YNS), Culinary Specialist Submarines (CSS) and Logistics Specialist Submarines (LSS).

Navy officials are hoping to entice female E-7 and E-8 Personnel Specialists to apply for conversion to the YNS rating as the needed skill sets are similar. 

“Each application will be assessed to ensure the chief petty officer has the experience and expertise to manage and oversee all administrative and personnel actions to support the crew in the role of leading YNS aboard a submarine,” Waters said.

Conversion for E-6 and below nuclear-trained female Sailors is available for both initial training pipeline Sailors, as well as qualified Sailors currently serving as instructors at Nuclear Power Training Units (NPTU). 

For these Sailors, requests are handled by the Nuclear Propulsion Programs Manager (OPNAV N133), in coordination with the NPTU command career counselor at the Sailor’s location.

Available quotas will be filled as applications are processed, so interested Sailors should submit applications as soon as possible.  

Further details on the application process along with many points of contact are available in the NAVADMIN.

[Top 10 Reasons to Apply to the Military Studies Program at USNCC]

QUANTICO, Va. - The U.S. Naval Community College offers seven naval-relevant associate degree programs for active duty enlisted Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen during Pilot II. The first associate degree program you can apply for at the USNCC is the Military Studies degree. These are the top ten reasons you should earn a Military Studies associate degree through the USNCC.

Navy Releases NAVADMIN 222/21 Announcing USNCC Pilot II

US Naval Community College Selects ASU for Military Studies Program

SECNAV Releases New Strategic Guidance; Naval Education Enables Critical Warfighting
The U.S. Naval Community College offers seven naval-relevant associate degree programs for active duty enlisted Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen during Pilot II. The first associate degree program you can apply for at the USNCC is the Military Studies degree. Here are the top ten reasons you should earn a Military Studies associate degree through the USNCC:

1. It’s Free
Education can be an expensive endeavor. Even if you use Tuition Assistance, you may still be responsible for mandatory course fees and any required books — and school books aren’t cheap! If you are an active duty enlisted Sailor, Marine, or Coast Guardsman, the USNCC covers your tuition, course fees, and textbooks, which means you don’t have to worry about those hidden costs of higher education.

2. Flexible Courses
Some colleges offer an online education, which is great for you when you are balancing your high operational tempo with furthering your education. But then you find out that your online course has mandatory meeting times! The USNCC offers online and asynchronous classes, which means you can log in and get the course work for the week done on your time. The USNCC is also exploring options in competency-based education opportunities giving you even more flexibility.

3. Naval-Relevant Education
Whether you are in the Navy, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard, your service is rooted in naval power and maritime effectiveness. When you pursue your Military Studies associate degree through the USNCC, you are able to work with faculty and students that understand your career and how it impacts you as a leader and an individual. Taking the USNCC courses with other naval service members means your course material and discussions are directly applicable to your job today!

4. Stackable Certificates
You are a full-time active duty service member; you don’t have time to take on a full course load every term or semester. The USNCC helps you achieve educational goals by meeting milestone accomplishments, where you will earn a certificate of completion in Naval Studies on the way to your associate degree in Military Studies. These can be used to provide documented evidence of educational accomplishments for your annual evaluations and make you more competitive both in the naval services and when you transition after.

5. Direct Pathway to Bachelor’s Degree
Under the consortium agreement the USNCC has with its partner colleges, your associate degree will have pre-determined and established pathways to related four-year degree programs. With the Military Studies associate degree, these include opportunities to earn a Bachelor’s degree in areas such as Political Science, Military History, Security Studies, International Affairs, or Leadership. The USNCC associate degree is fully transferable, which means you have the opportunity to earn your Bachelor’s with little to no loss in credits.

6. Military-Friendly Partner College
The USNCC has partnered with Arizona State University for the Military Studies degree, which means you will get an education from experienced faculty who have worked with military students for years in an online environment. You will receive a high quality education through the USNCC program.

7. Develop Critical Thinking Skills
The Military Studies associate degree is about the critical thinking required to use available resources to accomplish a mission while understanding the risks involved. This skill is what successful commands and leaders must master when facing the unexpected. When you can do this at a junior enlisted level, you are more likely to quickly recognize and leverage opportunities, making you a more agile, innovative, and adaptable warfighter.

8. Breadth and Depth on Naval Understanding
While the Naval Studies certificate covers the core skills you should know as an enlisted naval leader, the Military Studies associate degree goes deeper and more broadly into the topics the Naval Studies certificate covers. The Military Studies associate degree examines naval service and war from a case study approach similar to how many business schools teach business. The USNCC uses history as case studies and provides the context to understand current and future challenges using security studies and international affairs while highlighting leadership lessons throughout the course.

9. Improved Leadership Effectiveness
The Military Studies associate degree program through the USNCC will help you learn more about military theory, strategy, tactics, and explore the future of defense, and become a more effective enlisted leader.

10. Investment in You
Your career will come to an end one day. Whether you serve for one enlistment or 30 years, one of the things you will take with you after your military service is your education. The skills and knowledge you learn from your USNCC Military Studies associate degree will stay with you for the rest of your life.

Female junior staff instructors or Sailors in initial training at NPTU 
interested in volunteering for submarine duty should inform their chain of 
command as soon as possible in order to adequately manage their career 
timing.  Surface nuclear-trained female Sailors, desiring to serve on 
submarines, may convert their N2XO or N2XS NEC to a N1XO or N1XS NEC by 
following reference (f), paragraph 4.a.2(b).  Submarine duty physicals must

[Senator’s call to suspend Pentagon vaccine mandate sets up clash]

WASHINGTON (Tribune News Service) — A senior Senate Republican’s call for a suspension of mandatory coronavirus vaccines for U.S. troops and Pentagon civilians could fuel partisan divisions over the pandemic and add a defense element to the debate.

James M. Inhofe of Oklahoma, the top Republican on the Armed Services Committee, in a letter Monday to Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III called the Pentagon’s vaccine mandates “haphazardly implemented and politically motivated.”

[New Tool Captures Enlisted E-3 Occupational and Readiness Standards]

PENSACOLA, Fla. - Occupational and Readiness Standards (OaRS) for active-duty and Selected Reserve (SELRES) E-3 enlisted personnel are now provided as a component within the E-1/E-2/E-3 rating Learning and Development Roadmaps (LaDRs).
Naval Education and Training Command

Updated annually, LaDRs are documents that outline training and education milestones for each rating at each pay grade.  Sailors and leaders can use LaDRs to optimize a Sailor’s naval career path and learn about advanced educational opportunities and professional certifications.
 
OaRS in the E-1 through E-3 LaDRs may be used to validate minimum competencies for performing various rating-specific tasks in paygrade E-4.
 
While OaRS is voluntary and does not replace the Navy Wide Advancement Exam, E-3 enlisted personnel are highly encouraged to begin working toward completion of their OaRS shortly after reporting to their initial permanent duty station, or immediately if not new to the command.
 
Command leadership may use OaRS as an additional measure to train and mentor Sailors based on demonstrated knowledge, skills and abilities as related to expected minimum occupational requirements within a rating at the apprentice level.
 
“We recommend that commands establish a local program to guide Sailors in completing their OaRS,” said Naval Education and Training Command’s Force Master Chief Matthew Harris. “OaRs is another example of how the MyNavy HR team is improving and providing career Force Development tools for our Sailors.  It’s a great way for our junior Sailors to prepare for advancement and show that they’re ready to perform as an E-4.”
 
OaRS is also not intended to replace Personnel Qualification Standards or other professional qualification programs, but if a Sailor has already completed any OaRS tasks through these types of programs, then that can be used to sign off items.
 
Access LaDRs through MyNavy Portal (https://my.navy.mil), Navy COOL (https://www.cool.osd.mil/usn), and the Navy COOL mobile app (Android and iOS), which improves the speed and transparency of OaRS and LaDR execution.
 
Once an individual Sailor's OaRS are done, the command pay and personnel administrator (CPPA), training officer, or other authorized command representative documents the completion via the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) within the Personnel Qualifications section, or Advanced Skills Management within the Qual/Cert records tab.  This generates an Enlisted Service Record and Electronic Training Jacket entry. These entries provide Sailors with electronic documentation of OaRS completion as well as command leadership and Navy stakeholders with the ability to monitor the execution of OaRS.
