As promised, FY-21 selection board membership

Those who served on the board... FY-21 Active Duty E7 Selection board Membership

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).

REF B IS MPM 1440-011 FORCED CONVERSION. REF C IS MPM 1910-108, SEPARATION BY REASON OF CONVENIENCE OF THE GOVERNMENT- EARLY RELEASE TO FURTHER EDUCATION. REF D IS MPM 1910-102, SEPARATION BY REASON OF CHANGES IN SERVICE OBLIGATION (ACTIVE DUTY AND INACTIVE NAVY RESERVISTS). REF E IS MPM 1830-040, TRANSFER TO FLEET RESERVE AND RELEASE FROM ACTIVE DUTY 20 YEARS.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN modifies reference (a) by revising early separation policy to offer early separation on a case-by-case basis to enlisted Sailors. Reference (a) remains in effect for officers. 2. As the Navy has grown over recent years, some enlisted ratings at specific paygrades have become overmanned due to high retention in these ratings. In an effort to provide well-balanced enlisted ratings in support of community rating health, the Navy is opening up opportunities for eligible Sailors to submit requests for early separation, conversions or transfer to the Fleet Reserve. 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). 8. Released by Vice Admiral John B. Nowell, Jr, N1.// BT #0001 NNNN UNCLASSIFIED//
