REF D IS SECNAVINST 7042.7K, GUIDELINES FOR USE OF OFFICIAL REPRESENTATIONAL
FUNDS (ORF).
REF E IS DOD JOINT TRAVEL REGULATIONS.//RMKS/1. In line with reference (a), this NAVADMIN announces interim policy
guidance pertaining to command-sponsored retirement ceremonies delayed due to
the coronavirus pandemic. COVID-19 has limited group gatherings and
congregate events, such as command- sponsored retirement ceremonies designed
to express the appreciation of the Navy for the many years of faithful and
honorable service our Service Members have devoted to their country. This
NAVADMIN amplifies reference (a) by permitting commands to approve delays in
the execution of command-sponsored retirement ceremonies following an
effective retirement date for Service Members up to 6 months after the
cognizant installation commanding officer allows group gatherings of over 10
people. This authority also extends to the retirement ceremonies of those
Service Members who receive voluntary extensions of their retirement dates
pursuant to reference (b).2. As detailed by reference (a), upon notification of an approved retirement
or Fleet Reserve transfer date by Naval Personnel Command, Service Members
may request a command-sponsored retirement ceremony. A request for use of
any command resources, logistics or personnel support for a retirement
ceremony constitutes a request for an official command-sponsored ceremony.3. Commands using the authority in this NAVADMIN may approve requests by
Service Members on a case-by-case basis after fully considering existing Navy
mitigation measures in response to the coronavirus outbreak. Commands, as
directed by reference (a), will make every reasonable effort within
regulations, budgetary constraints and practicality to provide the items
requested.4. Upon approval by a command, the retirement ceremony becomes an official
command function. Use of appropriated funds may be authorized consistent
with reference (c) and budgetary constraints.
The sponsoring command will use current year operating funds in the fiscal
year the retirement ceremony is held.5. Limitations on the use of appropriated funds. Appropriated funds shall
not be used for food, receptions or unofficial functions. Specifically,
associated events such as receptions are considered personal in nature and
should not be funded with appropriated funds. However, a command may provide
notice of the time and location of a directly related reception so long as it
will not increase the cost to the Government. Pursuant to reference (d),
Official Representation Funds (ORF) shall not be used for retirement
ceremonies. Additional questions concerning the use of appropriated funds
for necessary expenses should be addressed through the command comptroller or
legal counsel.6. To request a command-sponsored retirement ceremony, Service Members shall
follow the procedures in reference (a) and shall request in writing to the
commanding officer or commander of the parent command. The request or
extension shall be submitted early enough to allow for adequate planning.
Reference (a) directs the ceremony be sponsored by the last permanent duty
station regardless of whether the retiree transferred to a new activity while
pending placement on the retired list.7. Limitations on personal travel entitlements. Commands should exercise
caution when funding personal travel for Service Members after retirement to
the location of their command-sponsored retirement ceremonies. Retired
Service Members will not qualify for travel benefits under reference (e),
section 030101. Reference (e), section 030501, permits commands to issue
invitational travel orders for an individual who participates in a ceremony
directly related to the interest of the DoD component. Travel approval
authorities must scrutinize requests from Service Members for invitational
travel orders on a case-by-case basis consistent with reference (c) and
budgetary constraints.8. This interim policy guidance is in effect for 1 year from the date of
issuance. Requests from retiring Service Members will only be approved for
command-sponsored retirement ceremonies held preceding retirement or
following the effective retirement date for up to 6 months after the
cognizant installation commanding officer allows group gatherings of over 10
people. This authority permits commands to delay command-sponsored
retirement ceremonies consistent with reference (a) while recognizing the
limitations posed by COVID-19 to the celebration of traditional naval
ceremonies and events.9. For questions concerning these policy changes, please contact MyNavy
Career Center at (833) 330-6622 or via e-mail at askmncc(at)navy.mil.10. Released by VADM John B. Nowell, Jr, N1.//

OKINAWA, Japan (NNS) -- U.S. Pacific Fleet Sea Sailor of the Year Aviation Ordnanceman 1st Class Jason Webley was meritoriously advanced to the rate of chief petty officer in a pinning ceremony held at Fleet Activities Okinawa White Beach Naval Facility, May 27.
Webley, a Brooklyn, N.Y. native assigned to Pacific Missile Range Facility Far East Det. Okinawa, was selected as the 2019 U.S Pacific Fleet Sea Sailor of the Year while stationed aboard aircraft carrier USS Ronal Reagan (CVN-76) forward deployed to Yokosuka, Japan. He joined the Navy in 2007.
This is the first time Sailor of the Year program-related pinning ceremonies have been held outside of Washington, D.C. The ceremony is normally held at the Navy Memorial but because of travel restrictions in place to combat the spread of COVID-19 local ceremonies are being held across the Navy. The ceremony followed social distancing guide lines and was attended by CFAO-area chief petty officers. Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Russell Smith gave his remarks from Washington, D.C. via video and Rear Adm. Fred Kacher, commander, Expeditionary Strike Group 7, was the guest speaker.
“There is no transition more important to our Navy as an institution than becoming a Navy chief petty officer,” Kacher said in his remarks as he congratulated Webley on his achievement. “Because when it comes down to it, it is the Chief Petty Officer who shows the rest of us what right looks like.”
Webley was pinned by his wife and children and his cover was donned by CFAO Command Master Chief Michael Fluent.
Webley credits his faith and team onboard Reagan for his selection as SOY and advancement. “It is a direct reflection of my leadership, my peers and the hard work of my junior Sailors that worked alongside me onboard USS Ronald Reagan put forth, so this is for everyone.”
The Sailor of the Year program was established in 1972 by Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Elmo Zumwalt and Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy John Whittet to recognize an individual Sailor who best represented the ever-growing group of dedicated professional Sailors at each command and ultimately the Navy.

WASHINGTON — The Defense Department announced its stop-movement order will remain in place indefinitely, though some bases could meet new phased-in guidelines as early as Tuesday to allow travel for military personnel and their families.
A memorandum issued by Defense Secretary Mark Esper dated May 22 states he has canceled the prior travel guidance that went into effect April 20, which was expected to end June 30. He extended the travel restrictions for all government travel of personnel and their families indefinitely unless locations meet specific criteria to allow travel to resume. https://www.stripes.com/news/us/pentagon-stop-movement-order-to-remain-in-effect-unless-local-conditions-at-bases-meet-criteria-for-travel-1.631275

REF B IS NAVADMIN 177/17, NUCLEAR TRAINED SAILOR APPLICATIONS TO OFFICER COMMISSIONING PROGRAMS AND MODIFICATION TO FY-19 NUCLEAR LIMITED DUTY OFFICER IN- SERVICE PROCUREMENT BOARD PROCESS.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN solicits applications and provides guidance for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Seaman to Admiral-21 (STA-21) Commissioning Program. 2. STA-21 is a full-time undergraduate education and commissioning program open to enlisted personnel of all paygrades and ratings who meet the eligibility requirements specified in reference (a). 3. Deadline for submission of applications for the FY-21 STA-21 Program is 1 July 2020. Application packages must be postmarked on or before the deadline date. It is recommended that applications be mailed prior to the deadline as early submission allows timely feedback to the Sailor for submission of missing or illegible documents. Deadline for submission of additional documentation to an applicant package is 1 August 2020. No additional documents can be added after this date. The selection board is scheduled to convene in September 2020 and the selectees will be announced via NAVADMIN. 4. The following target options and core are open for application for the FY-21 Selection Board: Surface Warfare (SWO), Surface Warfare Engineering (SWO/ED), Nuclear (Surface/Sub), Special Warfare, Explosive Ordnance Disposal, Naval Flight Officer, Pilot, Civil Engineering Corps, Nurse Corps and Information Professional. 5. The following target options have zero select opportunity for the FY-21 Selection Board: Human Resources, Intelligence, Information Warfare, Medical Corps, Supply Corps, Surface Warfare Officer/Information Professional (SWO/IP), Oceanography (OCEANO) and SWO/OCEANO. 6. The Nuclear (Surface/Sub) target option is now open to Sailors who are serving in the Fleet and hold an active Nuclear Navy enlisted classification (NEC)(N1XX/N2XX). All applicants must be able to begin their first day of class in the first semester of their course work prior to commencing their eighth year of service. See the Nuclear Program Authorization (PA 150A) dated May 2019 for more specific information and all other requirements to apply for the program. Additionally, applicants holding a Nuclear NEC must receive conditional release, in line with reference (b), if applying for options outside the Nuclear community, from the Nuclear Enlisted Community Manager (OPNAV N133D). 7. The following information addresses lessons learned from the FY-20 STA-21 selection process and board. This information is provided to preclude common errors: a. Of the 323 applications received for FY-20, only 305 were board eligible. A total of 55 were selected to participate in the FY-20 STA-21 Program. b. Each year, packages are not considered due to non-qualifying Scholastic Aptitude Test/American College Test (SAT/ACT) test scores, missing commanding officer (CO) endorsement/recommendation, recent non-judicial punishment, missing physical fitness assessment (PFA) cycles and missing or illegible submission of documents and not meeting program age or PFA requirements. c. Minimum eligibility requirements must be met before submitting an application. Applications should be mailed only when fully completed. Officer interview boards shall consist of three officers, the applicant CO may not be a board member and should not submit an interview appraisal sheet. The personal interview of the CO should be conducted only after the application is complete and the officer interview board has submitted their appraisals. The full picture of an applicant academic and officer potential can only be determined by reviewing the SAT/ACT scores, high school/college transcripts and a completed application package. d. The CO endorsement is extremely important, especially the ranking of the individual among his/her peers. The endorsement should contain specifics about the individual academic potential, commitment, leadership, service above self and potential as a naval officer. CO comments should specify the primary option to which the individual is applying and address how the individual meets qualifications for that option. For junior Sailors with only schoolhouse evaluations, the CO must address this issue in his or her endorsement. e. An interview board and nomination review board shall be conducted in line with reference (a). It is recommended that officers of the applicant designator of choice, if available, be asked to participate in the interview/nomination review board to assess the applicant for their community. Officer appraisals provide important insight on the applicant. The appraisal from the board should be a frank and honest assessment of the leadership and academic potential of the applicant. Appraisal forms should be typed in 10 or 12-point font. f. The applicant personal statement should address why the Sailor wants to become an officer, how the Sailors selection would improve the Navy and why the Sailor is applying for a specific option. Sailors must also address any hardships or unique experiences that shaped their character. Junior Sailors should provide information on high school experiences as high school transcripts rarely provide in-depth information on involvement in sports, clubs, volunteer hours, work, etc. Additionally, applicants should address any anomalies in the package (e.g., poor high school grades, college grades, service school grades or poor evaluation performance). The explanation should include details of the situation, how the applicant has overcome these issues and why the applicant will be successful in the future. g. The application is a reflection of the applicant. Applicants must review their packages in their entirety before submitting. Check for misspelled words and improper grammar. Ensure all transcripts (high school and all colleges) are enclosed. Within the last year, applicants must have passed the PFA, to include body composition assessment and the physical readiness test with performance in the good category. Due the immediate suspension of the PFA for Cycle-1 2020, minimizing the risk from coronavirus disease, points will be awarded from the most recent observed score from the latest full test taken within a year of application (i.e., spring and fall of 2019). A grade of satisfactory or failure of the above required physical readiness test will make the applicant ineligible. h. Qualifying SAT/ACT scores are required. Include any additional recommendations, qualifications or other accomplishments as a part of the package. SAT/ACT can be from tests taken between 1 July 2017 and 1 July 2020 (3 years). Due to recent events, applications will be accepted pending receipt of SAT/ACT test scores. i. It is recommended that the command retain a copy of the entire application package. The command copy should not be given to the applicant. 8. Mail completed applications to: Commander Naval Service Training Command (N92/STA 21) 250 Dallas Street Ste A Pensacola FL 32508-5268 9. For questions, specific details, eligibility criteria, application requirements, and selection procedures, refer to reference (a), contact your command career counselor or visit the STA-21 website at http://www.sta-21.navy.mil for the most up-to-date information. 10. Point of contact is Naval Service Training Command, STA-21 Program Officer, at (850) 452-9433/9563 DSN 459 or via e-mail at pnsc_sta21(at)navy.mil. Point of contact for the Nuclear target option policy change is the Nuclear Enlisted Community Manager, OPNAV N133D at (703) 604-5491/DSN 664 or via e-mail at bullnuke(at)navy.mil. 11.

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The U.S. Navy’s 2019 Sailors of the Year (SOY) will be recognized for their outstanding achievements over the next few weeks, May 21 – June 2.
Every year the office of the Master Chief Petty Officer hosts a week-long series of events recognizing the Sailors of the Year in the nation’s capital. But due to safety and health concerns, this year’s events were shifted to localized events, to minimize risk and respect social distancing measures.
Although the annual SOY recognition was cancelled, Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy, Russell Smith still wanted to make sure the Navy’s top SOYs could be recognized for their achievement. Notably, each recipient will also be meritoriously promoted to Chief Petty Officer during their respective Fleet ceremony.
The 2019 SOYs who are slated for advancement are:
- Chief Aviation Structural Mechanic Carolina Berrio, U.S. Fleet Forces Sea Sailor of the Year
- Chief Aviation Ordnanceman Jason C. Webley, U.S. Pacific Fleet Sea Sailor of the Year
- Chief Aviation Ordnanceman Kimber N. Dominguez, Navy Shore Sailor of the Year
- Chief Naval Air Crewman Mechanical Amanda Alcantar, Navy Reserve Sailor of the Year
“These four Sailors of the Year represent the best of our Navy,” said Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. Mike Gilday. “These Sailors have demonstrated the highest standards, and have proven themselves by their performance, knowledge, and leadership on the deck plates time and again. I could not be more proud to have them leading our Navy as Chief Petty Officers.”
MCPON echoed CNO’s sentiments.
"These Sailors reflect a level of performance that clearly demonstrates readiness to be Chief Petty Officers. Their technical expertise within their specific rating and specialty, as well as their performance as leaders across the breadth of the Navy community in which they live and serve, has led to their selection as Sailors of the Year and subsequent promotion to Chief Petty Officer" said MCPON Smith. "I’m proud to welcome them to the Mess, and I know these new Chiefs are keenly aware that this advancement is not a reward - rather, it is a clear recognition that they are ready for increased responsibility and accountability, an opportunity to do more for the Navy. I’m excited to see them step up to even greater challenges – leveraging those anchors, with an unselfish focus, to have an even greater impact on our Navy.”
The Sailor of the Year Program has recognized Sailors who represent the best of our Navy for almost 50 years. The program was established in 1972 by the Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Elmo Zumwalt and MCPON John Whittet to recognize outstanding Atlantic and Pacific Fleet and top Shore Sailors of the Year.

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The Navy issued clarifying guidance for enlisted advancement eligibility due to the postponement of the Spring Navy-wide advancement exam, enlisted promotion selection boards, and suspension of the Cycle 1, 2020 physical fitness assessment (PFA) as a result of ongoing efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
NAVADMIN 145/20, released May 19, provides clarifying guidance to enlisted advancement eligibility issues arising from the suspended spring PFA. The announcement is also intended to head off any potential concerns with Sailors approaching high-year tenure gates, once the postponed advancement exam and selection board cycles resume.
“Sailors who were waiting to regain advancement eligibility or have their delayed advancement reinstated will have to wait a little bit longer because of the PFA suspension,” said Lt. Cmdr. Peter Simerman, assigned to the Enlisted Force Plans and Policy branch for the chief of naval personnel.
“Once social distancing policies have been relaxed, we will allow passing mock PFAs to count toward Sailors regaining advancement eligibility and also for those who had their advancement withheld due to a PFA failure, to have their advancement reinstated,” Simerman continued.
Sailors who were selected for advancement during fall 2019 cycles 105 or 244, or who are a part of an auto or accelerated advancement program, but had advancement withheld due to failing one or more PFAs will receive an additional six months to have their advancement reinstated.
“We are also allowing for Sailors in a PFA failure status who have Soft End of Active Obligated Service dates this calendar year the option to extend until December 31, 2020,” said Simerman.
“This provides Sailors an opportunity to pass the Cycle 2, 2020 PFA and regain the eligibility to reenlist, participate in the Navy-Wide Advancement Exam and be advanced.”
Sailors ineligible for the originally scheduled spring NWAE dates due to PFA failures will not be allowed to establish eligibility as a result of postponed exams.
Sailors who were eligible for advancement, but may not receive the results from their advancement until after their HYT date, may request a waiver to remain in service past their HYT date until their advancement status can be determined.
Additionally, NAVADMIN 145/20 suspends the requirement for enlisted personnel selected for commissioning through any program to pass a commissioning PFA.
However, those individuals selected for commissioning must have passed their most recent PFA and if a member is medically exempt, they must have passed their most recent PFA prior to being medically exempt.
Full details, including the procedure for reinstating reenlistment and advancement eligibility due to fitness failures are available in the NAVADMIN.
Questions and concerns about this policy clarification can be answered by calling the MyNavy Career Center at 1-833-330-6622 or by email at AskMNCC@navy.mil.

REF E IS NAVADMIN 089/20, VOLUNTARY EXTENSIONS FOR ACTIVE COMPONENT NAVY
MEMBERS WITH APPROVED SEPARATION OR RETIREMENT DATES.//RMKS/1. As a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Cycle 1, 2020 physical
fitness assessment (PFA), senior enlisted selection boards, and the spring
Navy-wide advancement exam (NWAE) schedules were changed as detailed in
references (a) through (c). The intent of this NAVADMIN is to clarify and
update policy with regard to the impact of these changes on enlisted
advancement eligibility and commissioning.2. NWAE Eligibility. Eligibility for the March 2020 cycle 247 and cycle 106
NWAE has been established, and thus Sailors cannot become eligible for the
NWAE as a result of the exam postponement.
Additionally, E-3 Sailors who are in a PFA failure status will not be
eligible to advance via the rank-order method outlined in reference (c).3. High Year Tenure (HYT) Limits. Sailors who reach their prescribed HYT
limits:
a. E-4 through E-6 candidates: In line with reference (d), E-4 through
E-6 candidates must have a HYT date that is on or after 1 July 2020 in order
to have been eligible for the spring 2020 Cycle 106 and 247 NWAE. Due to
postponement of the exams, the results for advancement may not be released
until after 1 July 2020. Therefore, Sailors approaching their HYT date may
request to remain in service beyond their HYT limits until advancement status
can be determined.
b. E-7 through E-9 candidates: In line with reference (d), E-7
candidates must have a HYT date on or after 1 September 2020, and
E-8 through E-9 candidates must have a HYT date on or after 1 July
2020 in order to be eligible for advancement. Sailors impacted by the
postponement of selection boards outlined in reference (b) may not receive
results of those boards until after their HYT date.
Sailors approaching their HYT date may request to remain in service beyond
their HYT limits until advancement status can be determined.
c. All Service Members approaching their HYT limits may submit a HYT
waiver request via command-endorsed Electronic Personnel Action Request
(ePAR/1306) to MyNavy Career Center (MNCC) via MyNavy Portal or by e-mailing
the ePAR request directly to askmncc(at)navy.mil. The request should state
that the HYT date of the Service Member exceeds (1 July 2020 or 1 September
2020) and that they desire to remain in service beyond their prescribed HYT
limits in order to receive their advancement results.4. PFA Failures. All Sailors with PFA failures, including those with two or
more consecutive PFA failures, will be able to regain eligibility for
advancement by passing the official Cycle 2 2020 PFA or a mock PFA prior to
the official Cycle 2 2020 PFA. Guidance for conduct of the PFA will be
promulgated after COVID-19 restrictions have been relaxed. This allows
Sailors, who were not given a chance to regain eligibility during the Cycle 1
2020 PFA, the opportunity to regain eligibility as quickly as possible.
Sailors may not gain eligibility for the Cycle 247 or Cycle 106 advancement
exams as eligibility for those has already been closed. All mock PFAs must
be entered in the Physical Readiness Information Management System (PRIMS)
under the fitness enhancement program tab of the Service Member to officially
document the passing score.5. Advancement withheld due to PFA failure(s). Sailors who were selected
for advancement during NWAE cycle 105 (August 2019) or cycle 244 (September
2019) and had their advancement withheld due to failing one or more PFAs are
required to pass a subsequent mock or official PFA. The same applies to
Sailors enrolled in auto/ accelerated advancement programs (selective
training and reenlistment, professional apprenticeship career track,
accelerated advancement program, etc.) who were scheduled for advancement but
could not due to PFA failures. The exception to policy (ETP) guidelines
outlined in reference (d), paragraph 104, will be permitted for these Service
Members and must be received by 31 December 2020. The ETP will allow Sailors
to be advanced past the 30 June 2020 limiting date for the cycle. A
commanding officer (CO) or officer-in-charge (OIC) letter is required to be
sent via e-mail to Naval Education and Training Professional Development
Center (NETPDTC) at sfly_N321_discrepanc(at)navy.mil with a copy of the PFA
completion documentation of the Sailor, indicating that the advancement is
reinstated (no longer being withheld) and requesting the original advancement
date to be effected. Requests submitted after 31 December 2020 will require
adjudication by the Board for Correction of Naval Records.6. Multiple PFA failures and Soft End of Active Obligation of Service
(SEAOS) in 2020. Sailors who have failed two or more consecutive PFAs and
whose SEAOS is in calendar year 2020 will be given the option to extend their
SEAOS to 31 December 2020 in line with reference (e). This will give Sailors
an opportunity to pass a mock PFA or the Cycle 2 2020 PFA, thereby regaining
eligibility to reenlist, participate in the NWAE and be advanced. In
accordance with reference (e), SEAOS extension requests should be forwarded
on a command endorsed ePAR/1306 to MNCC via MyNavy Portal or by e-mailing the
ePAR/1306 directly to askmncc(at)navy.mil.7. Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP) Candidates: Changes to the NWAE
and PFA schedules do not affect the MAP season. However, those ineligible to
be MAP-advanced due to PFA failures may regain eligibility by passing a mock
or official PFA as outlined in paragraph 4.8. Enlisted Commissioning Programs: The requirement for Active Component
and Reserve Component enlisted personnel to have successfully passed a PFA
for their particular commissioning program (e.g. Limited Duty Officer/Chief
Warrant Officer (LDO/CWO), Seaman to Admiral-21 (STA-21), Medical Enlisted
Commissioning Program (MECP)) is immediately suspended. In order to ensure
candidates are qualified, they must have successfully completed their most
recent PFA and, if a Service Member is medically exempt, passed the most
recent PFA prior to being medically exempt.9. The guidance outlined above is intended to ensure no Sailor is
disadvantaged as a result of the COVID-19 mitigations. Questions and
concerns regarding these policy changes may be referred to MNCC at
askmncc(at)navy.mil or 1-833-330-MNCC (6622).10. Released by Vice Admiral John B. Nowell, Jr, N1.//

POLICY.//RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces the recommencement of promotion,
advancement, continuation, milestone and other administrative selection
boards that were postponed in line with reference (a) and will be convened at
Navy Personnel Command (NPC). After pausing administrative and statutory
promotion boards to assess conditions and properly incorporate risk
mitigation measures, we plan to recommence convening of selection boards at
NPC in Millington, TN on 1 July with out-of-area participants. In the
interim, we have completed some smaller administrative boards via virtual
means and in some cases using local area membership, and will continue to do
so where appropriate. The revised schedule for officer promotion and
associated continuation selection boards and enlisted advancement selection
boards is provided below. The schedule for community milestone and other
administrative selection boards to be convened at NPC is available at
https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-
npc/boards/selectionboardsupport/Pages/FY21-Board-Schedule.aspx.
Some communities will execute their milestone and other administrative
selection boards by virtual means or at locations other than NPC. Refer to
community announcements on your applicable community section of the NPC
website at https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/Pages/default.aspx or
contact your detailer for specific information concerning these boards.2. In line with reference (a), eligibility will be as of the original board
convening date. Official Military Personnel Files for use during the boards
are captured as of the original board convening date. Deadlines for
correspondence to a board remain the same as originally set with the
exception of the Reserve E-7 Board, which now has a deadline of 18 May 2020
per reference (b). The Reserve E-7 Board correspondence deadline was
extended to compensate for delays in the Reserve E-7 eligibility. In order
to maintain a fair and impartial balance across the fleet, the remaining
correspondence deadlines remain the same. Should Service Member eligibility
remain unclear, submit correspondence regardless.3. The health, safety and well-being of those supporting the selection board
mission is paramount in a COVID-19 informed environment and precautions to
protect all participants will be taken. While all the planned COVID-19 risk
mitigation measures are too numerous to detail in this NAVADMIN, collectively
these prudent precautions are critical to the accomplishment of the selection
board mission and apply in lieu of restriction of movement (ROM) protocols
that would otherwise apply for essential travel prior to and following
membership on a selection board. Precautions include, but are not limited
to, the following risk mitigation measures:
a. Minimizing risk to force by combining boards and recycling board
membership across multiple boards to reduce travel requirements.
b. Phased convening of our largest boards to minimize number of board
members within board spaces at any one time.
c. Modifying the boardroom and tank layout to maximize social
distancing.
d. Self-assessment of individual health prior to travel, precautions
during travel such as Service Members sourcing from locations that maximize
the use of direct flights or individual ground transportation (POV or rental)
where practicable, use of face coverings during travel and additional shuttle
service runs with occupancy limits to/from the Memphis International Airport.
e. Revised protocols for entrance into board spaces that include COVID-
19 questionnaires, daily touchless body temperature readings and wristbands
for rapid identification of cleared membership within board spaces.
f. Alternative meal plans, to include furnished breakfast, lunch and
dinner to maximize social distancing and eliminate the need to depart Naval
Support Activity Millington.
g. Additional cleaning services to maintain the highest standards of
cleanliness within the dining facility, conference room (additional dining
area) and all board spaces.
h. Additional personal protective equipment available to board
membership as necessary.
i. Prominently displayed and adequately supplied hand-sanitizer
throughout each board.4. FY-21 Active-Duty Officer Promotion Selection Boards (PSBs):
The postponed FY-21 PSBs to recommend officers in the Line and Staff Corps
and chief warrant officers on the Active-Duty List (ADL) for permanent
promotion to the grades of commander, lieutenant commander and chief warrant
officer will convene as follows:
a. 6 July 2020 - Staff Corps Commander and Lieutenant Commander
b. 13 July 2020 - Unrestricted/Restricted Line Lieutenant Commander
c. 1 September 2020 - Chief Warrant Officer 5/4/35. FY-21 Active-Duty Officer Continuation Selection Boards will convene as
follows:
a. Active-Duty Lieutenant Commander Staff Corps Continuation Selection
Board will follow the Active-Duty Commander Staff Corps Promotion Selection
Board.
b. Active-Duty Lieutenant Staff Corps Continuation Selection Board for
eligible competitive categories will follow the Active- Duty Lieutenant

promotion results, guidance will be provided in separate correspondence.6. FY-21 Reserve/Full Time Support (FTS) PSBs: The postponed FY-21 PSBs to
recommend reserve officers in the Line and Staff Corps and chief warrant
officers on the Reserve Active-Status List (RASL) for permanent or temporary
promotion to the grades of lieutenant commander and chief warrant officer

participants (Service Members and recorders) and provided eligibility
criteria for serving. The criteria of reference (c) continue to apply, but
as the board dates have changed, the previously promulgated due dates for
receipt of Service Member and recorder applications are no longer applicable.
Sailors meeting the eligibility criteria and availability to serve as members
or recorders for a board are strongly encouraged to submit applications as
soon as practicable. Board Presidents, Senior Enlisted Advisors, recorders
and other specified board members will comprise a core group whose services
will span the entire duration of a board. The service of other board members
will be required only for particular phase(s) of a board based on rating
expertise and availability.
Refer to paragraph 7 above for the dates of the phases in which the various
ratings will be considered. Applicants must clearly state their availability
in the application. Details for application submission are provided in
reference (c).9. Point of contact information for submitting enlisted advancement
selection board nominations is as follows:
a. Mr. Bryan Gillentine at (901) 874-3223 / DSN 882.
b. Dr. Ruby Snowden at (901) 874-2209 / DSN 882.
c. Email: PERS-805.fct(at)navy.mil.
d. General Board inquiries: MyNavy Career Center (MNCC) at
(833) 330-6622 / askmncc(at)navy.mil.10. Navy leadership is committed to ensuring no Sailor is disadvantaged by
the delay in any selection board convening or during the consideration of the
record of any eligible Sailor by a board. Although review, approval and
Senate confirmation (where applicable) of board results cannot occur this
year with traditional timing, selectees for promotion or advancement can
expect to be assigned the original date of rank and receive any associated
back pay and allowances warranted. Enlisted advancement board results are
expected to be approved and announced within 30 days after a board adjourns.
Due to the additional reviews required following officer promotion boards,
results are expected to be approved and announced by ALNAV approximately 100
days after a board adjourns. Efforts will be made to accelerate these
processes. Subsequent to officer promotion board approval and ALNAV release,
Senate confirmation is required prior to promotion of active-duty commanders
and lieutenant commanders. Promotion authorizations and associated dates of
rank will be announced via the existing monthly promotion NAVADMIN process.11. Released by Vice Admiral John B. Nowell, Jr, N1.//

MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) -- Selection, advancement and continuation boards are all set to restart July 1st, ensuring that Sailors across the fleet are in no way disadvantaged by the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) delays to the original board dates.
“Our overriding commitment is that no Sailor will be disadvantaged by the delay in boards,” said Rear Adm. Jeff Hughes, commander, Navy Personnel Command. “Although the boards were postponed, those who are selected for promotion can expect to be assigned the original date of rank and receive any back pay and allowances they’re warranted.”
Boards were originally postponed on March 18th to ensure the safety of all board participants. Since then, numerous risk mitigation precautions have been included in a comprehensive restart plan to minimize health risk during the board process. Navy also continues to expand the number of administrative selection boards conducted via virtual means.
“As in our decision to postpone the boards and now in our plans for restart, we carefully assess the COVID-19 risk and will take the necessary precautions going forward to ensure the health and safety of all participants so we can accomplish the selection board mission,” said Hughes.
Sailors’ Official Military Personnel Files will be reviewed as of the original board convening date and their eligibility will remain the same.
Deadlines for letters to the board remain the same as originally set, except for the Reserve E-7 Board, which now has a deadline of May 18, 2020 to compensate for delays in their eligibility determination. The remaining deadlines remain the same to maintain a fair and impartial balance across the fleet, but Sailors are encouraged to submit a letter if they feel their eligibility is unclear.
The restart plan will enable enlisted advancement board results to be approved and announced within 30 days of a board adjourning. Officer promotion boards require additional reviews and results are expected to be approved and announced 100 days after a board adjourns.
Board members and recorders are still needed, and those who meet the eligibility requirements are urged to submit applications as soon as possible.

SUBJ/CNO MESSAGE TO THE FLEET//
RMKS/1. The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic brought an
invisible enemy to our shores and changed the way we operate as a Navy. The
fight against this virus is a tough one. But our Sailors are tougher, and
each of you plays a critical role in defeating this virus.2. We have embraced the challenge of COVID-19 and are learning, adapting, and
improving by the day and by the hour. There is no better example of this than
our actions and response on the USS Kidd.3. As we continue to learn about this virus and how to mitigate its risk, the
widespread public health measures you are actively practicing physical
distancing, face coverings, minimizing group events, frequent hand-washing,
sound sanitation practices, a questioning attitude on how we are feeling must
be our new normal. We must harden our Navy by continuing to focus on the
health and safety of our forces and our families. The health and safety of
our Sailors and their families is, and must continue to be, our number one
priority. Fleet operations depend on it.4. As the forward deployed force of our country, we have a duty to ensure we
are ready to respond. We cannot simply take a knee or keep everyone in port
until this enemy is defeated. We are America's away team. The uncertainty
caused by COVID-19 makes our mission of protecting America at sea more
important than ever. That is why the U.S. Navy continues to operate forward
every day.5. As state and local officials begin to re-open communities, we must
continue to focus on the health and safety of our Sailors and their families.
It is vitally important for every individual to take personal responsibility
to minimize risk to themselves and to their loved ones, as well as risk to
the members of our team who may be more susceptible.6. Each Fleet, region and installation will be on a conditions-based timeline
to open. OSD and Service guidance will be released to assist Commanders in
making these decisions. When we entered this pandemic, we quickly closed down
services to minimize interactions and the spread of the disease. We will need
to take a measured approach to opening up these services to prevent a
recurrence of the disease. I expect local commanders to understand area
conditions and to communicate prudent expectations and guidance up and down
the chain of command. I trust our Sailors to follow these guidelines.7. Each of us must continue to practice and follow all public health measures
necessary to minimize risk to our force and our families.
Take responsibility. Show courage in speaking up if you see shipmates falling
short. We have obligations for operational readiness and stringent
requirements for health protection measures.8. Continue to gather lessons learned at all levels, and prepare for another
wave of COVID so that we can minimize the impact and be prepared if that
happens.9. While I know we are asking a lot of our Sailors and families right now,
with measures such as extended deployments and pre-underway Restriction of
Movement (ROM) periods, these sacrifices are necessary to maintain a healthy
force around the world. I appreciate your commitment to selfless service.10. I know our Sailors ability to adapt and respond has been nothing short of
amazing and I am grateful. Your resiliency gives us all hope and assurance
during these uncertain times.11. Released by Admiral Mike Gilday, Chief of Naval Operations.//

Washington (NNS) -- Expansion of Sea Duty Incentive Pay (SDIP), Selective Reenlistment Bonuses (SRB) and High-Year Tenure (HYT) waivers are some of the initiatives the Navy has recently implemented.
The move was announced in NAVADMIN 132/20, released May 4.
Also, the Service is opening active duty career opportunities for New Accession Training (NAT) candidates and Sailors of the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) with recent Fleet experience.
"Navy is implementing additional personnel policy actions necessary to maintain our maritime superiority," Vice Adm. John B. Nowell, the Navy's top uniformed personnel official said in the message. "These efforts mitigate the effects of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and maintain operational, Sailor and family readiness.”
Waiver Window Extension
On March 26, the Navy, in NAVADMIN 089/20, started offering one-year High-Year Tenure waivers for Sailors willing to extend in critical billets.
Now Navy is sweetening that pot, increasing possible waiver lengths from 12 to 24 months for E-3 through E-5 Sailors currently slated to separate or being forced out because of HYT stay or go limits.
As of May 1,684 HYT waivers have been approved in line with NAVADMIN 089/20. Another 1,470 potential E1 through E5's will soon enter their HYT window with 635 on sea duty and 835 ashore.
For those who opt to stay, this means up to four more chances to advance off either the Navy-Wide Advancement Exam or Meritorious Advancement cycles.
To apply, Sailors must send a command-endorsed Electronic Personnel Action Request (ePAR/1306) to My Navy Career Center either through MyNavy Portal or directly by e-mail to askmncc(at)navy.mil.
Request for waivers will be approved on a case-by-case basis.
Not eligible for this offering is anyone pending mandatory separation or retirement because of misconduct as well as anyone already approved for disability separation or retirement.
Re-up Bonuses
The Navy's Selective Reenlistment Bonus is operating in high gear with its second update in as many months now on the street. To respond to real-time retention trends and Fleet needs, the Navy stopped using NAVADMIN messages to announce changes to bonus payout multiples. Instead, the Navy simply updates an online spreadsheet when changes occur. That's why bonus-eligible Sailors should check online often when in a bonus window.
With this month's update an additional 11,900 Sailors in 22 skillsets will now qualify for a monetary bonus, should they decide to reenlist. Another 19,500 Sailors in 123 skillsets now qualify for increased payouts on this update, too. All remaining skills on the list have stayed the same as there are no reductions or eliminations in this update.
Sea Duty Incentive Pay
For Sailors in certain skills who are willing to extend at sea or return to sea early, they may now be eligible to receive a lump sum payment in return for their extension or curtailment. Those Sailors interested in volunteering for SDIP should contact their detailer.
While the NAVADMIN stipulates members should apply 14-16 months prior to their projected rotation date, submissions inside of this timeline may be waived and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Any Sailors in SDIP-eligible skills who are separating or retiring and are willing to delay their departure by 6-12 months are eligible for SDIP as well. A list of eligible skills can be found at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/pay-and-benefits.
Reserve to Active
Navy will be offering active duty opportunities for Sailors in the individual ready reserve (IRR). The Navy is looking for Sailors who left active duty within the last three years. These Sailors could be offered re-enlistment bonuses and new training opportunity, if they qualify. Navy Recruiting Command will reach out to these Sailors soon with offers.
Also, Sailors currently in the Navy Reserve's NAT -- New Accession Training Program - will be contacted to see if they are interested in switching over into Active-Duty. Normally NAT Sailors come on active-duty orders for boot camp and an 'A' School. Some skills also attend a 'C' School before being sent to reserve units near their homes. The Navy Education and Training Command will reach out to these Sailors with offers.

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The Navy has cleared the path to finishing the spring petty officer advancement cycles, while maintaining COVID-19 mitigation best practices with the release of NAVADMIN 121/20, on April 27.
As part of the Navy's initial COVID-19 mitigation response in March, the service temporarily shut down administering further E-4 through E-6 advancement exams for the Active Duty and Full-Time Support (FTS) Cycle 247 and Selected Reserve Cycle 106, hoping to resume testing in late May.
After evaluating multiple options, Navy leadership has decided to cancel Cycle 247 Active Duty and Full-Time Support E-4 advancement exams. Instead, advancements will be determined using a modification to the current advancement scoring formula.
"Due to the large number of Sailors eligible to participate in this exam and the added difficulty of administering the exam to all of these Sailors while implementing Force Health Protection Guidance (FHPG) measures, to include adequate social distancing measures, Navy has determined that it is in the best interest and safety of our Sailors to not administer the E-4 exam," Vice Adm. John B. Nowell, the Navy's top uniformed personnel official, wrote in the message.
Roughly 20,000 E-3 Sailors across the Active Duty and FTS Navy were slated to sit for Cycle 247’s E-4 exam when Navy leaders postponed it in March due to the risk of COVID-19 transmission.
Sailors normally take advancement exams in large groups, seated together on a ship's mess decks or in base gymnasiums. This makes it nearly impossible to enforce the physical distancing required to reduce virus transmission risk.
Active and FTS Sailors who are eligible for advancement to E-4 will be ranked for advancement using the Final Multiple Score, the calculation just won’t include an individual exam score.
This means the remaining factors of Performance Mark Average, Awards, Pass Not Advanced points, Service in Paygrade as well as Education will determine a Sailor's final score for this cycle.
A Sailor’s PMA will account for 72 percent of the E-4 final multiple score. This means that for this cycle, a Sailor's on-the-job performance, as rated by their commands, will be the greatest factor in determining who advances.
Meanwhile, Navy leaders believe completing the remaining Active Duty and FTS E-5 and E-6 exams won't pose a social distancing problem as the number of test takers is low. Of the roughly 70,000 petty officers eligible for the two tests, 65,000 completed them before the COVID-19 mitigation efforts went into effect.
With only 5,000 make-up exams needed to be taken Navy-wide, leadership believes those remaining exams can be properly administered in small groups while adhering to FHPG measures and maintaining social distancing requirements. As a result, commands will have between May 21st and June 3 to proctor those remaining exams.
In the Selected Reserve, Navy officials estimate that over 80 percent of eligible Sailors completed their exams in February. Their remaining make-up exams will be administered during drill weekends in July.
Questions and concerns about this policy clarification can be answered by calling the MyNavy Career Center at 1-833-330-6622 or by email at AskMNCC@navy.mil.

OUTBREAK UPDATE 4.//RMKS/1. In coordination with Fleet Education Service Officers (ESO) and with
assistance from the Fleet Master Chiefs, the Navy advancement team working
group developed a tailored approach to close out the Spring Navy Wide
Advancement Exam (NWAE) for both active-duty (AD) and Reserve Sailors. Our
primary goal continues to be keeping all Sailors safe and healthy, while
ensuring every advancement candidate has an equal and fair opportunity to
advance despite the challenges of the current COVID-19 environment. This
NAVADMIN amplifies guidance contained in reference (a) and contains exam and
cycle administration changes to references (b) and (c).
Additionally, this NAVADMIN cancels and replaces reference (d).2. The following applies only to AD and Full-Time Support (FTS)
Sailors:
a. E-7 candidates. These Sailors were able to take their exams before
COVID-19 mitigation measures were implemented. The selection board
eligibility list was published on MyNavy Portal at
https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/navy-advancement-center/my-eso.
Additional guidance will be promulgated in a future NAVADMIN, which will
detail a revised selection board schedule for all chief petty officer boards.
b. E-5 and E-6 candidates. Regular March exams were administered before
COVID-19 mitigation measures were implemented.
However, approximately 5,000 substitute exams have not been administered. As
such, command ESOs will be given 10 working days from 21 May 2020 through 3
June 2020, to administer substitute exams for these Sailors. ESOs must
clearly publish and communicate exam administration schedules so Sailors are
made aware of testing dates and administration sites in advance of this
testing window.
Commands should implement precautionary measures to ensure Force Health
Protection Guidance (FHPG) measures are met in line with reference (e) to
include social distancing requirements. This may include providing multiple
administration sites to reduce the number of, and spread-out, exam-takers at
each site. To minimize the risk of Sailor collusion, ESOs are highly
encouraged to administer exams for like ratings on the same day. Following
the completion of substitute exams, ESOs must expeditiously mail all answer
sheets to the Navy Education and Training Professional Development Center
(NETPDC) in accordance with reference (a).
c. E-4 candidates. There are approximately 20,000 exams that were not
administered due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Reference (d) rescheduled the E-4
exam to 21 May 2020, however, execution of the exam in May presents high risk
to the force. Due to the large number of Sailors eligible to participate in
this exam and the added difficulty of administering the exam to all of these
Sailors while implementing FHPG measures, the Navy has determined that it is
in the best interest and safety of our Sailors to NOT administer the E-4
exam.
(1) As an alternative, those Sailors who were eligible to take the
Spring E-4 Cycle 247 exam will have the opportunity for advancement using the
rank-order method, a performance-based system that will use current standard
Final Multiple Score (FMS) factors without inclusion of an exam score. With
the elimination of the exam score the Performance Mark Average will be the
dominant factor in determining advancement. FMS factors include the
following:Traditional FMS Rank-Order FMS
Points % Points %
Performance Mark Avg. 64 38% 64 72%
Standard Score 80 47% 0 0%
Awards 10 6% 10 11%
Pass not Advance 9 6% 9 10%
Service In Paygrade 2 1% 2 2%
Education 4 2% 4 5%
Maximum FMS 169 100% 89 100%This alternate FMS method provides eligible E-4 candidates opportunity for
advancement this cycle.
(2) To accurately determine the population of E-4 candidates eligible
for advancement using the rank-order method, command ESOs MUST complete all
Enlisted Advancement Worksheets (EAW) in the Navy Standard Integrated
Personnel System (NSIPS). EAW accuracy is particularly important since
traditionally, NETPDC uses the candidate exam answer sheet to create a
candidate record and establish the advancement eligible population. However,
with exam cancellation, NETPDC will not receive answer sheets and will rely
on the completed EAW to establish advancement eligibility.
(3) Currently, there are approximately 35,000 unfinished EAWs in
NSIPS, which require immediate action by command or regional ESOs (for those
units unable to access NSIPS). ESOs are directed to adjudicate all EAWs to
reflect the correct eligibility status for their respective Sailors before 21
May 2020 in order to have their records reviewed for the Spring exam (Cycle
247). Command leadership should ensure this process is completed by 21 May
2020 to afford eligible candidates consideration for advancement.3. The following applies only to Selected Reserve (SELRES) Sailors:
a. E-4 through E-7 candidates. Approximately 83% of all Cycle
106 exams were administered during the NWAE in February 2020.
However, close to 3,000 late exams were not administered due to the
COVID-19 Pandemic. As such, command ESOs are authorized to test from 1-31
July 2020 since testing for SELRES is dependent on drill weekends, available
test sites and candidate availability.
Following the completion of late exams, ESOs must expeditiously mail answer
sheets to NETPDC.
(1) SELRES E-7 candidates are highly encouraged to participate in the
exam at the earliest possible date in July 2020 to ensure selection board
eligibility results can be posted prior to the board convening date.
(2) Due to Cycle 106 exam delays, all SELRES E-7 candidates will have
an additional three weeks to submit a Letter to the Board (LTB). The new due
date for LTB submissions will be 18 May 2020, which correlates to the
original convening of the Reserve E-7 board.
While FTS E-7 board eligibility has already been published, SELRES
E-7 has not. Consequently, all SELRES E-7 candidates are encouraged to
submit a LTB prior to the 18 May due date, if desired, just in case they
become eligible for the SELRES E-7 board following the publishing of board
eligibility. An LTB is not required and should not include information
already available within the Official Military Personnel File of a Sailor.
b. ESOs are responsible for ensuring examination dates on the EAW are
changed for the approved late examination administrations.4. Advancement Results. Release of E-4 through E-6 AD/FTS advancement
results is anticipated as early as July 2020. SELRES E-4 through E-6
advancement results and E-7 selection board eligibility results can be
expected in late August. Results are heavily dependent on commands promptly
processing and returning answer sheets.5. EAW system change. A system change was made to the Cycle 247 (March
2020) E4 EAW, setting the new examination administration date to 21 May 2020.
Regardless of when the actual exam is administered, ESOs will have until 21
May 2020 to finalize E-4 Worksheets. For SELRES Cycle 106, ESOs are
responsible for ensuring examination dates on the EAW are changed for the
approved late examination administrations. No Sailors will gain eligibility
for advancement due to the delay/cancellation of exams.6. 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).7. Released by Vice Admiral John B. Nowell, Jr, N1.//
