The SEALs put in an initial request for eight hundred P226s and the first pistols, officially named Mk. 25, were fielded in 1989. The Mk. 25 has a 4.4-inch barrel, nearly half an inch shorter than the Beretta M9, and the handgun is chambered for nine-millimeter parabellum. The frame is made from a steel alloy, while the slide is made from stainless steel for increased strength, and the slide is finished in Nitron for corrosion resistance. The gun weighs two ounces shy of two pounds with a loaded magazine. http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/sig-sauer-p226-the-navys-seals-gun-choice-soon-be-replaced-24782

Congratulations to selectees of the FY-19 Navy Active-Duty Nuclear Limited Duty Officer (LDO) In-Service Procurement Board (ISPB). 2. The FY-19 LDO/CWO ISPB was split into two separate boards per reference (a). All nuclear rates applying for a commission as a Nuclear LDO (designator 620X) went before a board in November 2017. All other rates applying for a commission as non-Nuclear LDO/CWOs were considered in the LDO/CWO ISPB held in January 2018. The results of that board will be released via a future NAVADMIN. 3. For LDO selectees, read name, rate, commissioning month/year. All appointments are effective on the first day of the commissioning month. Members are directed to verify their select status via BUPERS Online.

Each applicant should take pride in knowing that the superior performance documented in the evaluations reviewed by the board required the members to dedicate long hours in making hard choices to ensure only the best and fully qualified applicants were selected. I am confident that the selectees will justify their selection time and again in their new careers as mustang officers. Those not selected are highly encouraged to seek out LDO mentorship. Bravo Zulu to all who were willing to answer the call. 5. This message is not authority to issue appointments. Frocking is prohibited. COMNAVPERSCOM (PERS-806) will deliver appointments under separate correspondence approximately 60 days prior to the commissioning date. Per reference (b), personnel selected for LDO with greater than 10 years time in service at time of appointment will be offered permanent appointment to Ensign. 6. Commanding officers are directed to: a. Notify selectee. b. Notify PERS-802 via official correspondence not later than 10 days following release of this message of selectees who do not accept appointment. Selectees who decline their commission within this 10 day period will be considered by the FY-19 Active-Duty Enlisted Advancement Selection Boards. After the 10 day period, PERS-802 will invalidate all FY-19 Navy Active-Duty Nuclear LDO selectees' eligibility for the FY-19 active-duty Enlisted Advancement Selection Boards. c. Per reference (c), ensure LDO selectees obtain a commissioning physical within the 90 days preceding the appointment month. Notify the Nuclear LDO detailer (PERS-422) upon completion. d. Hold execution of all permanent change of station orders in abeyance, if applicable, and immediately notify PERS-40 of member's selection. e. Administer official physical fitness assessment (PFA) within 4 months of commissioning date. Selectees must hand carry test results to Officer Development School, Newport, RI. If selectee fails to achieve satisfactory medium, notify the Nuclear LDO detailer (PERS-422). Hold commissioning in abeyance until successful completion of PFA. f. Hold appointment in abeyance if it is determined that a selectee is no longer mentally, physically, morally or professionally qualified or if they fail to meet current PFA requirements. Immediately forward documentation citing reason to PERS-802. 7. Nuclear LDO selectees who do not successfully complete a final technical interview will maintain their enlisted status and not be commissioned as LDOs. Technical interviews will be scheduled by the Nuclear LDO detailer (PERS-422), and selectees will be notified via separate correspondence. 8. If an LDO selectee's enlistment (including any extensions) expires after the date of appointment, they are not reenlistment eligible unless appointment is declined. 9. Each selectee should contact the Nuclear LDO detailer (PERS-422) for specific requirements with regard to personal information and history cards and inform PERS-806 of address changes to facilitate appointment delivery. 10.
