As supplemental guidance to reference (a), this ALNAVRESFOR provides separation processing and administrative protocols for Navy Reserve Personnel with approved exemptions or who have submitted requests for religious accommodation from the COVID-19 vaccination requirement consistent with references (b) and (c). For this ALNAVRESFOR, the term “Navy Reserve Personnel†includes the following: all Selected Reserve (SELRES) members, Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) members assigned to a Volunteer Training Unit (VTU), any IRR members currently performing active duty orders, Strategic Sealift Officers (SSOs) in the IRR, and other IRR members in the Active Status Pool (ASP). 2. Action. 2.a. Members with Approved or Pending Exemption Requests. Navy Reserve Personnel with approved or pending COVID-19 exemption requests or appeals have not refused the vaccine as defined in references (d) and (e), and shall not be processed for separation or be subject to adverse actions as outlined in references (d) – (j). 2.b. Members with Religious Accommodation Requests Denied or Disapproved on Appeal. Navy Reserve Personnel whose request for religious accommodation from the COVID-19 vaccine requirement has been denied or disapproved on appeal shall be subject to the guidance set forth in reference (a) and as that guidance, specific to Navy Reserve Personnel, is further supplemented herein. 3. Transfer and Assignment. 3.a. Cognizant Navy Reserve Activities (NRAs) and related authorities will continue to consider the unvaccinated status of Navy Reserve Personnel when making deployment, assignment, and other operational decisions, per reference (a). 3.a.1. Commander, Navy Reserve Force N1, may consider timelines for commissioned unit deployment and will take into account those units identified as operating forces of the U.S. Navy in the Standard Navy Distribution List of reference (k) when making assignments of unvaccinated members. Navy Reserve Personnel in operational units who are reassigned may be supported via Personnel Move Request (PMR) to modify Projected Rotation Date (PRD) to allow for those members to find new billets and to provide for the ability to advertise the vacated billet. 3.a.2. Commander, Navy Reserve Force N1, and Active Component supported commands shall collaborate and determine appropriate assignment for unvaccinated Navy Reserve Personnel in units not included in Paragraph 3.a.1. 3.b. Navy Reserve Personnel with Remaining Military Service Obligation (MSO). Navy Reserve Personnel separating from active duty, whose request for religious accommodation from the COVID-19 vaccine requirement has been denied or disapproved on appeal and who have remaining MSO, may either be transferred to the IRR-ASP or may request assignment to the Selected Reserve as applicable. 3.c. Transfer between Reserve Component Categories and Navy Reserve Readiness Unit (NRRU) Assignment. Unvaccinated Navy Reserve Personnel whose request for religious accommodation from the COVID-19 vaccine requirement has been denied or disapproved on appeal may request transfer between the Selected Reserve and the IRR in accordance with separate governing issuances, and may seek other administrative actions, such as a TRUIC change. 4. Inactive Duty Training (IDT), Inactive Duty Training – Travel (IDTT), and Annual Training (AT)/Active Duty for Training (ADT). 4.a. Subject to applicable travel restrictions identified in reference (l), unvaccinated Navy Reserve Personnel with approved exemptions or religious accommodation exemption requests pending, denied or disapproved on appeal may perform on-site IDTT, ADT and AT, and unvaccinated SSOs may perform on-site ADT and non-paid IDT drills. 4.b. In addition to the direction in Subparagraph 4.a., unvaccinated Navy Reserve Personnel with an approved exemption or with religious accommodation exemption requests pending, denied or disapproved on appeal may perform virtual or telework IDT drills, ADT, and AT. Those members may also reschedule IDT drills when NRRU Commanding Officers and the cognizant supported command determine that such performance sufficiently promotes mobilization readiness and permits those personnel to satisfy Reserve Component participation requirements. 4.c. NRAs shall not disapprove AT waiver requests solely because an unvaccinated member with an approved exemption or with a religious accommodation exemption request pending, denied or disapproved on appeal is unable to complete his/her AT participation requirement due to reference (l) travel restrictions. If not already done, Navy Reserve Personnel with an approved exemption or a religious accommodation exemption request pending, denied or disapproved on appeal, who are seeking an AT waiver for the balance of Fiscal Year 2022, shall submit a waiver request no later than Thursday, 30 June 2022. 5. Reporting. Database reporting IAW references (m) and (n) continue to apply. Commanding Officers are directed to continue updating the CCDA database with the appropriate entry each time there is a change in vaccination status. Navy Reserve Centers (NRCs) and Region Readiness and Mobilization Commands (REDCOMs) will utilize the Navy Reserve SharePoint ADSEP Portal to report COVID-19 vaccination and separation status and other related data. REDCOMs will request portal permissions from the POC listed in paragraph 9. REDCOMs will grant portal permissions to NRCs. CNAFR and CNIFR will report separation status via Enterprise Task Management System 2.0 (ETMS2). 6. If in doubt as to how to adjudicate issues related to separation of a Navy Reserve Personnel consistent with this interim guidance, Commanders should seek guidance from their chain of command, their staff judge advocate, and/or the CCDA before acting. Commands without an assigned legal advisor may seek legal advice from a Region Legal Service Office or the Office of the Staff Judge Advocate for the cognizant REDCOM/ECH IV. In all cases, Commanders are accountable to ensure the health and safety of their command while treating every Navy service member with dignity and respect. 7. Points of contact.

Purpose. To provide additional guidance regarding Navy service members who wish to withdraw a religious accommodation request in order to separate from naval service. Also, to modify CCDA data reporting requirements. 2. Policy. Navy service members who submitted a religious accommodation request regarding the requirement to be vaccinated against COVID-19 were certified by the U.S. District Court order in reference (a) as members of a class action in the case of U.S. Navy SEALS 1-26, et al., versus Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin, III, et al. This message supplements guidance previously provided in reference (b). To ensure compliance with the court order in reference (a), this NAVADMIN continues to suspend separation processing and certain adverse administrative consequences of COVID-19 vaccine refusal for Navy service members who submitted requests for religious accommodation from the COVID-19 vaccine requirement. However, in accordance with the court order in reference (c), service members who wish to withdraw their religious accommodation requests may do so, understanding that unless they become vaccinated, they will be processed for involuntary administrative separation and all associated adverse administrative consequences will apply. 3. Applicability. Policies in paragraph 4 of this NAVADMIN apply only to Navy service members who have submitted requests for religious accommodation from the COVID-19 vaccine requirement in line with references (d) and (e). Adverse administrative consequences and separation processing described in references (f) through (o) continue to apply for Navy personnel refusing the COVID-19 vaccine who have not submitted a request for religious accommodation. Navy service members who do not wish to withdraw a previously submitted religious accommodation request are not subject to adverse consequences as described in reference (b). Policies in paragraph 5 of this NAVADMIN apply to all Navy commands. 4. Action 4.a. Effective immediately, service members who wish to withdraw their previous religious accommodation requests seeking exemption from the COVID-19 vaccine requirement may do so by executing the NAVPERS 1070/13 (Page 13) located at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/navy-covid-19-reporting. After executing this document reflecting understanding of the consequences of such a withdrawal, such service members will be considered I violation of reference (f) and may be subject to all adverse administrative measures associated with vaccine refusal described in references (g), (h), and (i), including processing for involuntary separation. Religious accommodation requests or appeals may be withdrawn at any stage in the process, regardless of whether it is resolved or pending. 4.b. In cases where service members desire to withdraw their religious accommodation request, it is the responsibility of the service members command to execute the required Page 13 with the service member. Once received, to continue processing for separation, commands must take two steps: 4.b.(1) In order to track religious accommodation withdrawals, commands must forward copies of signed Page 13s via email to ALTN_Navy_Religious_Accommodations(at)navy.mil. 4.b.(2) In order to effectuate separation, commands must: 4.b.(2)(a) Include copies of the signed Page 13 in separation packages not yet routed to Navy Personnel Command in accordance with processes outlined for vaccine refusal described in reference (i). 4.b.(2)(b) In the case of separation packages already routed to Navy Personnel Command IAW reference (i), but on hold due to the injunction, forward copies of the signed Page 13 to the relevant active/reserve officer/enlisted email address at PERS-8 below, who will resume involuntary separation processing based on vaccine refusal. 4.b.(2)(c) In the case of separations previously approved by Navy Personnel Command, but on hold after release of earlier *10-day* letters, provide a copy of the relevant Page 13 to the servicing Personnel Support Detachment to effectuate local separation, copying the relevant PERS-8 office at the correct address below. 4.c. Substantive modifications or deletions to the Page 13 located at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/navy-covid-19-reporting are not authorized. 5. Reporting. Database reporting to the Department of the Navy (DON) COVID Tracking Site listed in reference (p) is no longer required. Commanders are directed to provide updates based on categories listed in reference (p) to the following. 5.a. For service members who have submitted a religious accommodation request, provide updates to the ALTN_Navy_Religious_Accommodations(at)navy.mil email address. Commanders shall include the service members DoD ID number in the email. 5.b. For service members who have not submitted a religious accommodation request but have elected to become vaccinated, or now have access to the COVID-19 vaccine, provide updates to the altn_n1_navy_scr.fct(at)navy.mil email address. Commanders shall include the service members DoD ID number in the email. 5.c. Commands will also ensure that the Medical Readiness Reporting System (MRRS) is updated to be consistent with information submitted to the DON COVID Tracking Site. 6. If in doubt as to how to adjudicate issues related to this guidance, commanders should seek guidance from their chain of command, their staff judge advocate, and/or the CCDA before acting. Commands without an assigned legal advisor may seek legal advice from a Region Legal Service Office. In all cases, commanders are accountable to ensure the health and safety of their command while treating every Navy service member with dignity and respect. 7.

Can't wait for your confirmation!!

In early June 1944, more than 100,000 Allied soldiers and thousands of ships and aircraft massed on the English coast, preparing for one of the most important battles in history: the invasion of Normandy. Several hundred miles to the south, the six ships of US Navy Task Group 22.3 were on a rather routine U-boat hunter-killer patrol — a mundane mission in comparison. After a few weeks at sea, the task force was heading to Casablanca to refuel. On the way, they pulled off one of the most impressive naval feats of the war: capturing the German U-boat U-505 completely intact — including its valuable Enigma machines and the codebooks needed to use them.

Yeah, there are still people who are not in the know!!

Very cool, thank you for the update

Okay so they must have read @Vincent A C's post. Two hours ago MyNavyHR put out that it has been released to TRIAD. What is strange is that no one has said if they have been notified but the public version will come out tomorrow.

Wow, usually it's at 11 Eastern. Anyone?

Has anyone been told by their TRIAD yet?

Surface warfare reforms crafted to improve mariner skills and manage demand for ships are trickling into the fleet five years after two fatal collisions in the Western Pacific forced the Navy to retool how the service trains the surface fleet. Multiple investigations and criminal prosecutions found that basic failures in seamanship and ship handling led to the June 17, 2017, early morning collision between USS Fitzgerald (DDG-62) and ACX Crystal off the coast of Japan. Seven sailors died.

You won't embarrass yourself here with those kind of questions. So if you look at the E4 Active advancement quotas, look in the column that says "Current Total Adv OPP." If you look at MU3 you will see that the advancement opportunity is 100% for that rate. So you must be an MU! https://media.defense.gov/2022/Jun/21/2003020795/-1/-1/0/ACTIVE E4 255 QUOTAS.PDF

(Tribune News Service) — The Blue Angels' new Super Hornets are set to make their Seattle debut in this year's Seafair air show over Lake Washington. The jets are 25% larger than the legacy Hornets they replaced, and festival promoters are touting them as "Bigger. Louder. Faster." The Blue Angels' stunts and formation flying — with as few as 18 inches between wingtips — have long been a highlight of the festival, which is scheduled for Aug. 5-7 after being canceled the past two years due to COVID-19.

As the U.S. pursues a maritime strategy that prioritizes a blue-water navy, Russia appears to be betting on smaller, missile-laden vessels to help it slowly gain territory and influence, according to military analysts. Smaller Russian warships like corvettes and frigates aren’t built for fights with the U.S. Navy. Instead, they provide coastal defense in the Black and Baltic seas, and allow Russia to harass cargo ships and credibly threaten its neighbors, said Bryan Clark, director of the Hudson Institute’s Center for Defense Concepts and Technology.

WASHINGTON — For the last five years, Bud Couch has been on a quest to make the surface navy safer. As the director of operational safety at Naval Surface Force Pacific, Couch helped generate 117 recommendations after two U.S. Navy destroyers were involved in separate fatal collisions in summer 2017. But that wasn’t enough.
