    RMKS/1.  This NAVADMIN supplements examination administration guidance in 
    references (a), (b) and (c) to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 throughout the 
    Navy in accordance with reference (d) and (e).  All enlisted advancement 
    exams after 17 March 2020, active and reserve component makeup/late exams are 
    rescheduled with the following administration dates:
        a.  21 May 2020  Cycle 247 (E-4 only) Active Duty and Full-Time Support 
    (FTS) regular Navy-wide Advancement Examinations (NWAEs).
        b.  22 May 2020  Cycle 106 (E-4 through E-7) Selective Reserve
    (SELRES) NWAEs approved for late administration on the first available drill 
    weekend after this date.
        c.  12 June 2020  Cycle 247 (E-4 through E-6) final date to administer 
    substitute exams.

    2.  Policy.  The examination reschedule dates result in no change to the 
    advancement candidates final multiple score and eligibility requirements as 
    promulgated in references (a), (b) and (c).  Commands are authorized to 
    administer regular exams and must safeguard exams currently held until 
    examination administration dates.  Substitute examination administration must 
    be kept to a minimum.  Educational Services Officers (ESOs) should forward 
    exams in accordance with reference (a) when Sailors transfer prior to the 
    rescheduled administration dates.  As the COVID-19 situation becomes clearer, 
    we will continue to reevaluate the timeline for each exam.

    3.  Results.  E-4 through E-6 Total Force advancements and SELRES
    E-7 Selection Board Eligibility are anticipated to be released in July 2020.  
    Results are heavily dependent on commands promptly processing and returning 
    answer sheets.

    4.  Enlisted Advancement Worksheet (EAW).  A system change will be made to 
    the Cycle 247 (March 2020) E-4 Enlisted Advancement Worksheets, setting the 
    new examination administration date to 21 May 2020.  ESOs will have until 
    that date to finalize E-4 Worksheets.  For Cycle 106, it is the ESOs 
    responsibility to ensure examination dates are changed for the approved late 
    substitute examination administrations.

    5.  Points of contact.
        a.  MyNavy Career Center (MNCC) is available 24/7 by phone at 1-833-330-

    /TEL:  571-256-8399/DSN 312-260-8399//

    RMKS/1.  This is a joint OPNAV N2N6 and Fleet Cyber Command, and Commander 
    TENTH Fleet message.

    2.  In addition to references (a) and (b), and to further mitigate the spread 
    of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), reference (c) directed implementation 
    of maximum telework flexibilities for shore commands, consistent with command 
    operational needs as determined by their heads.

    3.  The Joint Force Headquarters for Department of Defense Information 
    Networks (JFHQ-DODIN) has begun to initiate the blocking of streaming media 
    websites (YouTube, Netflix, Pandora, etc.) and may soon block social media 
    websites (Facebook, Instagram, etc.) to maximize operational bandwidth 
    available for COVID-19 response.  Exceptions to these policies with mission 
    justification may be approved by O6/GS-15 or above and submitted via Fleet 
    Cyber Command Battle Watch Captain at EMAIL:  c10f_bwc.fct(at)navy.mil.

    4.  The following guidance applies to shore commands using Navy and Marine 
    Corps Intranet (NMCI) and ONE-NET, describing the capacity of remote work 
    resources and the priority in which they should be leveraged.  We must be 
    prudent and optimize the utilization of the available network resources.  
    Currently, NMCI and ONE-NET can support roughly 240,000 simultaneous 
    connections for Outlook Web Access (OWA) and 40,000 for Virtual Private 
    Network (VPN) access.  NAVWAR and PMW-205 are working to expand capacity, 
    where possible, over the next several weeks.  There are a limited number of 
    Mobikey and Enhanced Virtual Desktop (EVD)/Virtual Desktop Infrastructure 
    (VDI) instances that may be used to support telework.  Navy does not intend 
    to negotiate any more licenses.  Navy has issued 35,000 Blackberry Unified 
    Endpoint Management (UEM) devices (iPhone, iPad and other mobile devices).  
    Bandwidth limitations preclude the addition of new devices.

    5.  Utilize remote work options in the following prioritized order:
        a.  Mobikey and EVD.
        b.  Mobile devices with Blackberry UEM.  Consider downloading all of the 
    Blackberry Work / Edit / Access applications to get full capability, 
    including the ability to edit documents.  Reach to your local support team 
    for help in getting these apps on your phone.
        c.  OWA.  Ensure OWA users have a signed agreement and are well trained 
    on OWA requirements and best practices.  Command Access Card (CAC) readers 
    are required for use with OWA.  A CAC reader that has been used on a personal 
    computer may NOT be brought back to work and used to connect to the DOD 
    Information Networks (DoDIN).  If a government CAC reader is brought home and 
    used, it must remain at home.  Individual commands will determine whether 
    individuals should bring Government CAC readers home permanently to support 
    OWA use.  As heavy OWA use is expected during the implementation of these 
    measures, users should connect periodically to stay updated, but disconnect 
    afterward to facilitate access for other remote users.  Users with government 
    laptops should access email via OWA vice Remote Access Service (RAS) whenever 
    possible to reduce RAS connection load.  Naval Network Warfare Command 
    (NETWARCOM) enabled OWA to support file download and upload when using 
    Internet Explorer (IE) ONLY.  Other browsers will not permit download or 
    upload of attachments as files.  The use of IE for file download and upload 
    provides new, additional flexibility while using OWA and should relieve some 
    of the need for RAS access.
        d.  RAS.  Use in accordance with references (d) and (e).  The ratio of 
    government laptops to available connections is about four to one (159,000 
    devices with only 40,000 simultaneous connections available).  Again, 
    personnel with government laptops should connect via OWA for email access as 
    a first option to limit RAS connection load.  Using RAS when needed; 
    personnel should only connect to download or transmit emails, or to access 
    other resources only accessible by VPN, and then log off to reduce RAS 
    connection load.  Work offline until next period needed to 
    transmit/receive/access.  NETWARCOM is implementing time restrictions on the 
    VPN, so expect to be kicked off if you are logged on too long.

    6.  Defense Collaboration Services (DCS) is an available option for 
    collaboration and virtual meetings at https://conference.apps.mil.
    SharePoint portals may be used for collaboration and file sharing, including 
    Milsuite at https://www.milsuite.mil.  Navy users should use only the DoD 
    approved collaboration tools and not seek out commercial collaboration 
    sources for DoD-only events.

    7.  Mobile SIPRNET Device.  Senior leaders requiring mobile SIPRNET access 
    may submit a request for a DoD Mobility Classified Capabilities (DMCC) device 
    via echelon II Command Information Officer (CIO).  Due to limited number of 
    devices, echelon II CIO requests will be consolidated and reviewed by OPNAV
    N2N6 for submission to Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA).

    8.  Additional remote work guidance:
        a.  Properly protect ALL Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and 
    Protected Health Information (PHI) data.
        b.  One significant limitation of OWA use is inability to encrypt or 
    decrypt emails by default.  One alternative is to enable encryption via OWA 
    by user intervention (by making the OWA link a Trusted Site in browser 
    security settings and enabling S/MIME control).  See the instructions posted 
    on the references page listed in paragraph 11.  Another alternative is the 
    use of Department of Defense (DoD) Secure Access File Exchange (SAFE) as 
    described below in paragraph 8.
        c.  If you need to purchase your own CAC reader, https://milcac.us/tweaks
    lists the types of CAC readers best for your personal computer operating 
    system.
        d.  For OWA, a government laptop should be the first choice; if no 
    government laptop is assigned, use of a personal computer is permitted ONLY 
    if a proper antivirus solution such as Microsoft Defender is operating on the 
    device.  Antivirus solutions must be kept up to date.
        e.  Limit attachment file size to minimize network impact and prevent 
    hitting inbox size limits.  If you must send large files, use services like 
    DoD SAFE (https://safe.apps.mil).
        f.  Limit use of REPLY TO ALL when responding to group emails to minimize 
    network traffic.
        g.  SIPRNET and JWICS accounts will continue to be disabled after 30 days 
    without activity.  Consider logging in periodically to keep classified 
    accounts active, even during this period of maximizing remote work.

    9.  For secure and/or large file transfers, DoD SAFE is available for use.  
    Both DoD CAC users and guests can use the service for UNCLASSIFIED files up 
    to 8GB in size.  DoD SAFE is approved for transfer of FOR OFFICAL USE ONLY 
    (FOUO), PII, and PHI data.  More information and the link to DoD SAFE can be 
    found at the following link:  
    https://www.doncio.navy.mil/ContentView.aspx?id=12723

    10.  When using remote work options, information security is paramount.  As 
    we continue to operate in remote work environment, we cannot allow ourselves 
    to violate security protocols.  Using personal e-mail and other commercial 
    services (e.g.:  Gmail, Zoom, WebEx, and others) for official business is not 
    permitted.  The potential vulnerabilities open the door for our adversaries 
    to collect information that could be used against us.  Getting the job done 
    at the expense of information security is unacceptable.  It is better that 
    work be delayed than be done in a way that compromises information.

    11.  The NMCI and ONE-NET Help Desks are still the best avenue for help for 
    individual users, along with seeking support with local representatives, such 
    as NMCI assistant contract technical representatives (ACTRs).

    12.  References in this NAVADMIN and links to additional remote work guidance

    Well seeing as the E9 and E8 AC board were scheduled to convene in the next 60 days, but travel ban. Plus all the officer boards that are suppose to go down, plus the E7 boards. Yeah I would probably def say it’s gonna be late. Super short season if there is one at all

    Didn't think about the season either. Everytime I turn on the news, that virus thing gets worse!

  4. WASHINGTON (NNS) -- In the wake of the rapidly expanding world-wide coronavirus outbreak, the Navy has issued two administrative messages outlining new travel and transfer rules in effect until May 11.

    The temporary change in policies is needed to protect Sailors, families and civilians while helping combat the spread of the virus.

    In place now is a 60-day stop for non-mission essential travel -- impacting permanent change of station orders, temporary and training duty as well as personal leave and liberty within the continental United States and select areas overseas.

    “Shipmates, the spread of the coronavirus is something that we are taking very seriously,” Adm. Michael M. Gilday, the Navy’s top uniformed officer said in a March 13 statement to the service.

    “Our number one concern is the health and the safety of you, our Sailors – active and reserve, uniformed and civilian – as well as your families.”

    In addition, Gilday is urging command leadership to use all means available to prevent the virus from spreading in the ranks. As a result, he is “encouraging flexible work schedules and the use of telework -- all designed to slow the virus’ spread.”

    The guidance comes in two separate messages.

    NAVADMIN 065/20 released on March 14 declared an all stop on any movements inside the United States and updated official and personal travel rules. That message is an update to NAVADMIN 064/20 issued on March 12 which outlined the situation for overseas travel and transfers.

    Both messages will remain in effect until May 11, unless rescinded earlier.

    Navy Reserve personnel will follow guidance released by the Chief of Navy Reserves.

    Here’s what you need to know.

    Transfers

    Combined, the orders could impact more than 20,000 Sailors and their families slated to transfer during the next two months inside the United States and to certain overseas locations.

    NAVADMIN 064/20 shut down for 60-days, all overseas Permanent Change of Station moves to or from countries which the U.S. Centers for Disease Control have issued Level 3 travel advisories.

    As of March 16, CDC Level 3 warnings had been issued for all 29 countries in and around Europe, as well as South Korea, China and Iran. The message added the stop will also apply to any locations designated Level 3 in the future.

    Sailors slated to transfer to overseas CDC Level 2 advisory locations are still green-lighted to go. For now, service members will transfer first, with family members to follow in 60-days.

    The CDC currently has a global Level 2 warning. This means all countries, worldwide are at risk. Sailors, families and military civilians should take necessary precautions – including avoiding non-essential travel to, from or inside effected areas.

    The CDC is leading the U.S. Government efforts, regularly assessing the current risk of coronavirus and other diseases and issuing guidance for those residing in the United States about traveling abroad.

    Ratings are numeric, ranging from one to three. Level 1 is a “watch” and urges travelers to practice usual precautions. Level 2 is an “alert” to practice enhanced precautions. Level 3 is a “warning” to avoid any non-essential travel to that location.

    Sailors transferring overseas to CDC Level 3 countries, who have already detached from their last permanent duty station, will be held en route.  Those with any questions about the impact on their own situation or their family members should contact either their chain of command, their detailer or the MyNavy Career Center for guidance.

    The message also directs detaching and gaining commands to make every effort to reach already detached Sailors to ensure they are aware of the stop and direct them where to get help.

    For Sailors being held en route, commands are being given wide latitude to use existing authorities, on a case-by-case basis, in order to decrease the financial impact to service members because of this policy.

    Sailors and Navy civilians returning home from Level 3 countries they’ve left within the past 14-days, must notify their gaining command and then self-quarantine for 14-days before resuming any official duties.

    The guidance also encourages their dependents to follow suit. Here, too, commands are asked to use existing authorities to decrease any financial burden on Sailors.

    However, those transferring between locations inside the United States, who have already detached from their previous duty station, are authorized to continue on to their final destination, including any intermediate stops.

    The order does not apply to PCS Travel for Sailors who are retiring or separating during the next 60 days.

    Official Travel and Training

    During the stop, official travel for things such as meetings, conferences or site visits and even training is off, unless an exception is granted by higher authority.

    One situation already approved is for health reasons, where Navy medical providers can travel with Sailors or family members in need of medical treatment. 

    Other exceptions are available, but only if such travel is deemed mission essential.   

    Those already underway on official travel can finish their trips and return home as scheduled.

    Leave and Liberty Restrictions

    The order doesn’t impact local-area leave and liberty, which remain authorized.

    It will be up to local commanders to define what travel limits should be for their own commands. They are expected to take into account that the intent of the travel restrictions is to protect Sailors, families and military civilians while limiting the spread of the virus.

    Sailors with questions should ask their chain of command about how the stop movement order might impact any already scheduled or future leave and liberty requests. This is especially true if that travel is away from home.

    Those already on leave as the policy goes into effect are authorized to return home when their leave expires.

    Exceptions

    Exceptions to the all stop for either transfer or official and personal travel are possible, but only when the movement is deemed “mission essential, is necessary for humanitarian reasons or warranted due to extreme hardship.”

    The Navy defines “mission essential” as “work that must be performed to ensure the continued operations of mission essential functions.” 

    For PCS travel, those exceptions must be approved by Navy Personnel Command.

    Official travel or leave and liberty exceptions must be approved by the first flag officer or senior executive service (SES) in that individual’s chain of command.

    Anti-virus Efforts

    All commands in the Navy are also being encouraged to put in effect policies to help limit Sailor and family member exposure to the virus. This includes using flexible work hours, alternating work schedules and telework.

    That guidance comes from the highest levels.

    “For now, we must use an abundance of caution,” Gilday said. “Keep an eye on your Sailors and continue to follow the guidelines of health officials, which includes washing your hands more often, avoiding public gatherings, and staying away from others if you’re sick -- don’t be a hero.”

    All service members and their families, both in the United States and abroad, need to be aware that there is currently no vaccine to prevent the coronavirus. This means the best way to prevent infection is to avoid exposure.

    People tend to be the most contagious when they are showing symptoms related to the coronavirus. However, there are reports of the virus spreading even before a person shows symptoms.

    “Our understanding of the coronavirus is rapidly evolving,” Gilday said. “We may have to implement further measures to combat the spread of this virus.”

    Getting Help

    General information on impacts to Permanent Change of Station orders will be put out on npc.navy.mil, or reach us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/MyNAVYHR/.

    Impacted Sailors within 60 days of their PCS are currently being contacted by their detailers. 

    If a Sailor has not been contacted, they can access their detailer's information by logging on to MyNavy Assignment, or by going to the NPC website --  www.npc.navy.mil -- and clicking the “contact your detailer” link in the top left hand corner, or by contacting the MyNavy Career Center Contact Center at 833-330-MNCC(6622) or email askmncc@navy.mil.  MNCC is open 24/7 and agents are standing by to connect Sailors with detailers.

    So the RC E8/9 board was scheduled to adjourn today.  The AC E9 board is suppose to convene on 30 March, but with all the stuff about Covid-19, I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets shifted to the right. And if it gets shifted, likely so will the E8 board. Which could cascade through all of board season. I wonder if COVID-19 will last long enough to affect the E7 boards?

    Good question, I hope someone might know. There are a lot of things shutting down and not by choice.

  6. As people wait and ponder their fate, many wonder what their destiny will be in a few days. Some wonder if they will be able to go fishing by their favorite creek without barfing every thirty minutes. 

    Others are determined not to have to go to the first-aid station, over by vulture's row, for a barf bag or some Motrin. Many have said they will only go there for some beer or milk & cookies - we'll see. The AO's are adamant that if they do visit for refreshments that it includes Jack Daniel's fine whiskey (okay, no problem.)

    Stay tuned as this pans out, and we do what we must do to avoid a mass casualty on deck...

    ACTION, VERSION 2.0.//

    RMKS/1.  This NAVADMIN revises the 2012 Navy Diversity Policy Coordination 
    instruction, reference (a), and incorporates the Office of Inclusion and 
    Diversity under the Twenty First Century Sailor Office (OPNAV N17).  
    Inclusion and Diversity is a line of effort in the Chief of Naval Operations 
    Culture of Excellence (COE) Campaign, which empowers the Navy to achieve 
    warfighting excellence by fostering psychological, physical and emotional 
    toughness.  Ensuring inclusion and connectedness among every Sailor, family 
    member and Navy civilian promotes organizational trust and transparency 
    throughout their Navy journey.  Every Active and Reserve Sailor and civilian 
    brings a unique set of skills to our team.  Actively seeking out and 
    leveraging these skills is key to reaching our maximum warfighting potential.

    2.  This new approach operationalizes the guidance in references (b) through 
    (q) by promulgating specific roles and responsibilities and including 
    Inclusion and Diversity as a line of effort within the COE Campaign Plan.  
    Without inclusion, diverse perspectives can lead to friction/conflict in 
    thoughts and opinions.  All perspectives must be actively included to harness 
    the creative power of diversity, accelerating our Navys warfighting 
    advantage.

    3.  Inclusion and Diversity Goals
        a.  Goal 1:  Institutionalize Inclusion and Diversity across our Navy.
    b.  Goal 2:  Attract and recruit the best talent from our diverse nation to 
    cultivate a high-performing and innovative workforce.
        c.  Goal 3:  Develop and retain Sailors and Navy civilians by ensuring an 
    inclusive culture across our workforce.

    4.  Requirements

        d.  Inclusion and Diversity Council:  Semi-annual Inclusion and Diversity 
    Council replaces the Strategic Workforce Council and is comprised of senior
