    AND FULL-TIME SUPPORT NAVY-WIDE ADVANCEMENT EXAMINATION//

    RMKS/1.  This NAVADMIN announces procedures for the completion of
    E-6 evaluations in advance of the Cycle 250 Navy-Wide Advancement Exam.  Due 
    to the extension of the E-6 evaluation deadline, outlined in reference (a), 
    it is important that commands meet the established deadline and do not delay 
    in entering the relevant reporting seniors cumulative average (RSCA) 
    performance mark average (PMA) evaluation data into the enlisted advancement 
    worksheet (EAW).  Commands must complete all E-6 evaluations with required 
    signatures and process them no later than 15 December 2020.

    2.  Upon receipt of the completed evaluation, it is imperative that the 
    command educational services officer (ESO) upload the evaluations with the 
    RSCA value in block 43 and enter applicable RSCA PMA data into the EAW as 
    soon as possible.

    3.   An EAW system update in November 2020 now mandates the ESO at
    the command to validate and finalize Sailor worksheets before forwarding to 
    the servicing ESO.

    4.  As a reminder Professional Military Knowledge-Eligibility Exam
    (PMK-EE) remains a requirement for advancement and all Sailors must have 
    their PMK-EE completed by 1 December 2020 in order to be eligible for 
    advancement in Cycle 250, in line with reference (b).

    5.  This NAVADMIN will remain in effect until superseded or canceled, 
    whichever occurs first.

    SUBJ/MESSAGE FOR CHIEF SELECTS FROM THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY//

    RMKS/1.  Shipmates, a reporter once joined Fleet Admiral William "Bull" 
    Halsey at an event in Los Angeles, honoring his service in World War II.  The 
    event featured active and retired Chief Petty Officers who had served 
    alongside the Admiral in Peace and in War.  As they were passing through the 
    lines, the reporter noticed a wink and a warm smile pass between Halsey and 
    one of the oldest retirees.

    The reporter later asked about the exchange, and Halsey replied, "That man 
    was my Chief when I was an Ensign, and no one before or after taught me as 
    much about ships or men as he did.  You civilians don't understand.  You go 
    down to Long Beach, and you see those battleships sitting there, and you 
    think that they float on the water, don't you?"  When the reporter replied 
    that he supposed they did, Admiral Halsey said, "You are wrong.  They're 
    carried to sea on the backs of those Chief Petty Officers!"
    Like Admiral Halsey, I have benefitted from the service and guidance of 
    Chiefs throughout my career, starting with the first Chief Petty Officer I 
    ever met, Chief Archie Wilfong who was one of my high school instructors.  He 
    helped me understand the critical importance of hands on, deckplate 
    leadership, setting the tone and example for all who serve.  Those lessons 
    persisted throughout my own career as a Naval officer and continue every day 
    I serve as your Secretary.

    I have consistently continued to progress in life because of the Chiefs, 
    Senior Chiefs, and Master Chiefs who have provided me counsel and guidance 
    along the course of my career.  These included Chief Jay Davidson, a combat 
    decorated photo journalist, who was "My Chief" aboard USS AMERICA, to Senior 
    Chief Heidi Wasson, who served alongside me first with Combat Camera in Iraq 
    and then in Pakistan in 2005-2006.  Today, retired Master Chief John 
    Williams, who I was fortunate to serve with at several stages of my career, 
    from Lieutenant to Rear Admiral, has joined me as my Deputy Chief of Staff, 
    ensuring that there is always a strong enlisted voice and advocate at the 
    table in all of my meetings and decisions.

    Last month we commissioned USS DELBERT BLACK, honoring the Navy's first 
    Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy, and by extension, honoring every 
    member of the Goat Locker who has ever served.  It was a virtual ceremony  
    not because of the pandemic, but because there's not a pier in this world 
    large enough to accommodate all of the Chief Petty Officers who wanted to 
    attend.  They are a special part of our Navy's Legacy, justifiably proud of 
    their history and their service to our Fleet.

    This week we are honored to add the names of our newest Chief Selects to 
    their hallowed ranks.  On behalf of all your Shipmates, I offer to all Chief 
    Selectees, Active and Reserve, a sincere Bravo Zulu on this important 
    milestone in your career.  It is one that you will undoubtedly remember 
    forever.  But it also means that you must uphold the sacred charge of leading 
    the Sailors entrusted to your care while mentoring Junior Officers and 
    advising Senior Officers alike.  I am confident you are up for the challenge  
    Full Speed Ahead!

    I also offer a heartfelt "BZ" to every Chief, Senior Chief, and Master Chief 
    and the families that serve at their side.  On behalf of our entire Navy 
    Family thank you for powering our Navy, from the deckplate to the great 
    Chiefs who serve alongside me in the E-Ring.  You are a breed apart, the keel 
    of our force and an ongoing inspiration to us all.  Semper Fortis!

    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 message no 
    later than 11 December 2020 of any selectee or alternate who does not desire 
    to participate in the program.
        c.  Immediately report to NSTC (N92/STA-21) all conditions/circumstances 
    that may disqualify a selectee or alternate from participating in the STA-21 
    program via e-mail at pnsc_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 2020, are 
    submitted no later than 15 January 2021
    to:
    Naval Service Training Command
    Attn:  N92/STA-21
    250 Dallas Street Suite A
    Pensacola Florida 32508-5268
    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.sta-
    21.navy.mil.  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.  
    Application to more than one university is advisable.
    Selectees will begin the STA-21 program with attendance at the Naval Science 
    Institute (NSI) no later than 16 February 2021.
        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 2021.  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 program need to be completed with the actions listed above when 
    notified.

    8.  The deadline for required degree plans and college admission 
    documentation is 15 January 2021.  It is in the best interest of each 
    selectee and alternate to submit verification of eligibility criteria as soon 
    as possible to expedite university assignment and release of permanent change 
    of station orders.  Selectees will not be ordered to NSI enroute to their 
    assigned NROTC University until all conditions outlined in paragraph 6 have 
    been met.

    9.  Points of contact are Mrs. Anna Duvall at (850) 452-9433/DSN 922 or via

  4. The Navy will offer limited, voluntary early separations with an eye to allowing Sailors in certain specialties the ability to transition to civilian life before completing their service obligations. 

    Announced in NAVADMIN 307/20 on Nov. 19, the message says the early separations will be on a case-by-case basis, targeted to selected overmanned ratings and year groups as a way to help restore rating health and open up promotion opportunity for sailors seeking to stay Navy. 

    Other types of early outs will also be offered and will be considered on a case-by case basis.  Which program applies to a Sailor depends on where they are in their careers as well as the reason for separation. 
     
    “As the Navy has grown over recent years, some enlisted ratings at specific paygrades have become overmanned due to high retention in these ratings,” said John B. Nowell, Jr., the Navy’s Chief of Personnel. “Fleet readiness is our number one priority while also allowing for a flexible marketplace of talent management.” 

    The largest source of early outs will likely come from the newly restored Early Enlisted Transition Program (EETP).  EETP opportunity will come in published quotas, identified by rating, paygrade, year group and navy enlisted classification. 

    These quotas are published on the Navy Personnel Command website and updated in real time as they are used.  As a result, quotas will be granted on a first come first serve basis until all are exhausted.  To find which skillsets may transition early, go to MyNavy Portal at https://my.navy.mil, then click *Quick Links* and then the *NPC* tab. Once on the NPC website, navigate to the *Enlisted* dropdown, then select *Community Managers* and navigate down to the *EETP* link. 

    Those nearing the end of their careers should check out the Military Personnel Manual (MILPERSMAN) Article 1830-040, which lays out the rules for active duty service members desiring early transfer to the Fleet Reserve at 20 years of service.  The article was recently updated to authorize retirement-eligible Sailors with obligated service remaining on their enlisted contracts to transition out early.

    There are no blanket policies, so each request is reviewed on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the Navy’s manning requirements and individual rating health.  Each request is reviewed to make sure that sea and critical shore billets are not gapped.  Any such negative impacts will result in the request being disapproved.

    Early separation is also available for Sailors facing forced rating conversion, provided they have less than a year left before their soft expiration of active obligated service (SEAOS).  Consideration for this type of early separation request must contain a statement of understanding from the Sailor that the Navy will recoup any unearned bonuses given for the service that won’t be completed.

    Educational early outs will also be considered for Sailors hoping to get an early start at college.  These requests are submitted to the Enlisted Separation and Performance Division at Navy Personnel Command if the early transition is greater than 90-days before their SEAOS.  As always, Commanding Officers can approve education separation requests inside of 90 days of a service member’s SEAOS.

    Those applying for a commissioning program or inter-Service transfer require what’s called a conditional release which can only be approved by Navy Personnel Command.  Sailors should send those requests to NPC via their commanding officer.

    Regardless of which early out authority Sailors are requesting, commands need to carefully follow all guidance in the appropriate MILPERSMAN article. 

    In the message, Nowell reminded Sailors and commands that Fleet readiness is paramount.  Retaining
    Sailors with the right skills and experience is instrumental to retaining the Navy’s warfighting
    competitive edge.

    “The Navy remains committed to ensuring Fleet readiness by providing well-trained Sailors in the right paygrade with the right skills and experience at the right time,” said VADM Nowell in the message.  “Ensuring proper rating health, by rebalancing rating paygrades, while retaining the necessary knowledge, skills and experience in the Fleet is instrumental to maintaining our warfighting advantage.”

    Questions and concerns regarding these policy changes may be 
    referred to MyNavy Career Center at askmncc(at)navy.mil or 1-833- 330-MNCC(6622).

    3.  Voluntary early separations will be considered on a case-by-case 
    basis in the following policy areas: 
        a.  In lieu of forced conversion.  Early separation in lieu of 
    forced conversion will be offered for Sailors with less than 12 
    months to their soft expiration of active obligated service (SEAOS). 
    As outlined in reference (b), members may request immediate 
    voluntary early separation in lieu of forced conversion or 
    administrative separation.  Requests must contain a statement of 
    understanding that any unearned bonuses will be recouped and 
    separation pay will not be authorized. 
        b.  To pursue education opportunity.  Sailors may request an 
    early out in order to further their education.  For those who have 
    greater than 90 days of service to their SEAOS, requests must be 
    submitted to the Enlisted Separation and Performance Division (PERS- 
    832), as outlined in reference (c).  Commanding officers (COs) with 
    special courts-martial convening authority or higher serve as the 
    separating authority for education separation requests that are 
    within 90 days of the SEAOS of the Service Member. 
        c.  Conditional release for commissioning or enlistment 
    opportunities.  Members interested in applying for a commissioning 
    program in the Navy or to another branch of service, and members 
    interested in an inter-service transfer for enlistment into another 
    branch of service, must request a conditional release from PERS-832 
    via their CO as outlined in reference (d).  COs and Sailors are 
    reminded that only the Commander, Navy Personnel Command (CNPC) can 
    approve conditional release requests. 
        d.  Enlisted Early Transition Program (EETP).  Use of EETP is 
    hereby restored.  EETP is a quota-controlled voluntary separation 
    program.  Available quota opportunity is identified by rating, 
    paygrade, year group and navy enlisted classification.  Quotas are 
    updated periodically to reflect opportunity.  Early separation will 
    be granted on a first-come, first-serve basis until all quotas are 
    exhausted in the respective rating.  EETP opportunities and the 
    application process can be found on the Navy Personnel Command (NPC
    website via MyNavy Portal at https://my.navy.mil, then click *Quick 
    Links* and then the *NPC* tab.  Once on the NPC website, navigate to 
    the *Enlisted* dropdown, then select *Community Managers* and 
    navigate down to the *EETP* link.  Early separation requests will 
    not be approved for Sailors in nuclear ratings. 
     
    4.  Rating Conversion Opportunity.  In an effort to provide well- 
    balanced enlisted ratings and to retain talented and experienced 
    Sailors, conversion opportunities are available.  All Sailors 
    considering early out options are also highly encouraged to seek 
    conversion to other ratings for which they are eligible and 
    qualified.  Command Career Counselors and Enlisted Community 
    Managers are available resources for determining the ratings for 
    which a Sailor is best suited. 
     
    5.  Transfer to Fleet Reserve.  Fleet Reserve policy found in 
    reference (e) is hereby reinstated.  This policy authorizes the 
    Active Duty Enlisted Retirements Branch (PERS-836) to approve 
    agreed-upon recommendations from active component Enlisted Community 
    Managers (BUPERS-32), Reserve Enlisted Community Managers (BUPERS
    352), Officer and Enlisted Nuclear Programs Branch (OPNAV N133) and 
    Enlisted Distribution Division (PERS-40) for all Active Duty and 
    Full-Time Support Sailors with obligated service time remaining on 
    their enlisted contract to transfer to the Fleet Reserve. 
        a.  BUPERS-32, BUPERS-352 and OPNAV N133 will review each early 
    separation and transfer to the Fleet Reserve request for 
    consideration on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the total 
    manning posture of the Navy, planning factors and rating health. 
        b.  All such requests will be adjudicated by PERS-40 to ensure 
    sea and critical shore billets are not negatively impacted.  Any 
    request that would negatively affect sea duty manning will be 
    disapproved. 
     
    6.  Navy remains committed to ensuring Fleet readiness by providing 
    well-trained Sailors in the right paygrade with the right skills and 
    experience at the right time.  Ensuring proper rating health, by 
    balancing rating paygrades, while retaining the necessary knowledge, 
    skills and experience in the Fleet is instrumental to maintaining 
    our warfighting advantage. 
     
    7.  Questions and concerns regarding these policy changes may be 
    referred to MyNavy Career Center at askmncc(at)navy.mil or 1-833- 
    330-MNCC(6622).

    Well my husband gave it his all. He got the N for his last time up. It's been a hell of a ride for him the last 20 years and though he is very discouraged about being passed up, he will retire with his head held high knowing he worked his butt off for his Sailors. Just a few short months now and then onto the next adventure while he enjoys retirement.

    Congratulations to all who were Selected.

    Please tell your husband to not be discouraged any and to look forward. The journey for both of you is probably very bright! 😎
