WASHINGTON — Some lawmakers are attacking the Department of Veterans Affairs for giving out more than $10 million in bonuses to senior VA managers that were meant for front-line employees at hospitals, clinics and field offices. “The incentives were meant for high-demand health care and benefits support staff who are vital to VA’s operations following implementation of the PACT Act,” said Rep. Mike Bost, R-Ill., chairman of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs.

The Department of the Navy (DON) joins the Nation in celebrating Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQI+) Pride Month during the month of June. LGBTQI+ Pride Month provides us with a platform to honor the perseverance and achievements of LGBTQI+ leaders within our ranks and reflect on the strides made in overcoming numerous obstacles to their Service. 2. Pride Month serves as a reminder of the importance of creating a more effective and supportive military community for everyone. Everyday, the DON is proud to foster an environment where our Sailors, Marines, and civilians can serve our Nation truthfully and openly, where everyone's contributions are valued. 3. Throughout history, the LGBTQI+ community has patriotically served in all parts of the DON. Their commitment to ensuring the safety of our seas have endured despite the adversity posed by the former "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, which was repealed on September 20, 2011. In the last year, the Deputy Secretary of Defense began efforts to review the personnel records of Service Members discharged during "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" because of their sexual orientation. Records will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and granted relief, as appropriate. 4. Today, as we confront the complexities of modern naval challenges, we are deeply grateful for the honor, courage, and commitment of LGBTQI+ Sailors, Marines, civilians, and their allies. Their diverse perspectives, dedication, and distinguished service propel us forward in fulfilling our mission with a force reflective of our Nation's talents and strengths. 5.

This NAVADMIN augments reference (a) and announces implementation of Command Advance to Position (CA2P) for Navy-wide execution for advancement to E-5 and E-6. 2. CA2P Availability. Effective 1 June 2024, CA2P will be available for Active Component Sailors not participating in a Detailing Marketplace Assignment Policy (DMAP) rating as described in references (b) through (f). CA2P will be available for all Sailors not under orders or with orders pending release, starting with all type 2, 3, 4 and pre-commissioned sea duty units, with plans to expand eligibility to additional commands in future Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP) seasons. CA2P will eventually replace legacy MAP season execution for advancement to E-5 or E-6, with MAP quotas in future MAP seasons transitioning fully over to CA2P usage through the next two calendar years (following four MAP seasons). a. Command Requests. Commanding Officers (CO) may recommend Sailors for CA2P at any time through one of two methods: (1) For Sailors with more than 12 months until Projected Rotation Date (PRD), commands submit a Manning Realignment Request (MRR) in MyNavy Assignment. (2) For Sailors within 12 months of their PRD, commands may submit CA2P requests via email to their respective Placement Management (PERS-4013) Placement Coordinator. b. Inter-unit CA2P. The Immediate Superior in Command (ISIC) or Type Command (TYCOM) for the Sailor's current command can request a CA2P action for a member that qualifies within their subordinate units, using the method of paragraph 2a. 3. This NAVADMIN does not apply to submarine and surface nuclear trained Sailors. Sailors in these communities will continue to be advanced and detailed via legacy processes. 4. CA2P Eligibility and Processing. Upon receipt, PERS-4 will validate and execute the following steps for a CA2P request: a. Verify advancement eligibility. The Sailor must have passed, (but not advanced) on the most recent Navy-wide Advancement Exam (NWAE) or have been selected for and still awaiting advancement. b. Validate that the requested billet is vacant or will be vacant within the next 18 months. c. Verify that the Sailor is willing to add additional obligated service to fulfill the tour length requirements for the higher paygrade billet. Normal additional service requirements default to three years. For overseas tours, service requirement must meet Department of Defense requirements or reference (b) as applicable. d. If the CA2P request is valid (i.e. the Sailor is eligible and the higher paygrade billet is valid for fill), PERS-4 will approve the alignment request, including the required amount of service extension the Sailor needs to affect the advancement. PERS-4 will generally refrain from approving CA2P requests submitted during the spring and fall NWAE cycle quota determination process, to avoid conflicts in the advancement processes while Navy transitions towards a billet-based advancement system. Commands may still submit MRR requests during this timeframe (April and October) but can expect a delayed response timeframe. e. For inter-unit CA2P as requested by TYCOM or ISIC, requests will usually only be approved if the two units are within the same duty station and will not incur permanent change of station costs. f. Sailors must have two years of cumulative sea duty to be eligible for CA2P to E-5. Sailors that have previously CA2P'd to E-5 must be willing to serve two years in addition to the current tour length to be eligible to CA2P to E-6. 5. Processing Advancements. Once the MRR is approved, COs should submit to Transaction Support Center, on command letterhead, documentation certifying the completion of all requirements for advancement through CA2P, and PERS-4 approval of the MRR. The advancement is effective the date of MRR approval, and Sailors may wear the higher paygrade insignia immediately. 6. Incentives. DMAP ratings remain eligible for CA2P in line with reference (c). Sailors who are assigned to overseas tours will need to meet DoD requirements to be eligible for either the overseas tour extension incentives program or the consecutive overseas tour program. Refer to reference (b) for additional details. 7. For additional questions on CA2P, contact the MyNavy HR DMAP team at DMAP.fct@navy.mil. 8.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier strike group that for months has launched crucial strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen to protect military and commercial ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden will remain in the region for at least another month, according to U.S. officials

A retired Vice Chief of Naval Operations was arrested Friday on charges of bribery stemming from an alleged government contract scheme between 2020 and 2022. Robert Burke, a retired four-star admiral, allegedly worked with two CEOs to arrange a contract with their company to provide training for the Navy in exchange for a position with the company.

WASHINGTON — Today, the Department of Veterans Affairs announced that Veterans no longer need to pay copays for their first three outpatient mental health care and substance use disorder visits of each calendar year through 2027. This benefit expands Veterans’ access to mental health services and lowers their out-of-pocket costs. This copayment exemption benefits dates back to June 27, 2023 and—by law—will end Dec. 29, 2027. To be eligible for this exemption, the outpatient visit must be with a qualified mental health professional at VA or provided through VA’s network of community care providers. VA will automatically refund Veterans for any copays paid to VA on or after June 27, 2023 for these appointments, with no further action required by those Veterans.
