UNCLASSIFIED ROUTINE R 232022Z MAR 18 FM CNO WASHINGTON DC TO NAVADMIN INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC BT UNCLAS NAVADMIN 067/18 PASS TO OFFICE CODES: INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC//DNS// SUBJ/NAVAL HISTORY AND HERITAGE COMMEMORATION - VIETNAM WAR// MSGID/GENADMIN/CNO WASHINGTON DC/DNS/MAR// RMKS/1. The U.S. Navy performed a wide array of missions during the Vietnam War. In the air, it was a key partner with the U.S. Air Force during the Rolling Thunder and Linebacker air campaigns against North Vietnam, and in other air operations in Laos and Cambodia. On the coast, it developed a highly effective blockade to prevent the resupply of enemy forces by sea, engaged in naval gunfire support missions against enemy targets in the littoral areas of Vietnam, and provided amphibious transport for Marines operating in I Corps. On the rivers, it stood up several task forces designed to protect commercial traffic, assist allied ground forces in pacifying these areas, and interdict enemy troops and supplies moving on these inland waterways. The U.S. Navy also supported the war effort with a massive sea and riverine logistics operation, built and managed shore facilities throughout South Vietnam, and provided extensive medical support for the allied military operation. A total of 1.842 million Sailors served in Southeast Asia. The Navy provided the allied effort with many unique capabilities, the most significant being the projection of U.S. combat power ashore and control of the seas to support a land war in Asia far from the United States. Overall, the Navy suffered the loss of 1,631 men killed and 4,178 wounded during the course of the war. 2. To ensure the sacrifices of the 9 million who served during this difficult chapter of our country's history are remembered for generations to come, President Donald Trump signed into law the Vietnam War Veterans Recognition Act of 2017, designating March 29 of each year as National 29 we will honor all those who answered our Nation's call to duty.

The last that NAC put out is that the Reserve has only 70% exams returned and that they require 90% 95%. The Reserve commands need to get their act together. Reserve brothers and sisters should start pinging their commands.

A team funded by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen discovered the wreckage of a military ship that sunk with more than 600 aboard, including five brothers, during World War II. https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/nation-now/2018/03/20/sullivan-brothers-uss-juneau-found-pacific/440821002/

To pass the advancement exam, you will need to have a raw score (number of correctly answered questions) of at least 49 for E4, 55 for E5 and 61 for E6 and E7. Currently, all enlisted advancement exams have 175 questions.

Your exam standard score is a numerical representation of how well you did compared to peers taking the same exam. Scores range from 20 to 80, with the candidate that answers the most questions correctly getting a score of 80. The "pass" standard is very low since the Navy is using the exam to equitably compare candidates in the same rating. Navy exams are the one Final Multiple Score element that Sailors have complete control over.

The Navy Advancement Center processes substitute exams as they are received. The exam standard score calculations are done in the same manner as the Navy-wide advancement exams for Final Multiple Score computations. Your Educational Services Officer (ESO) is responsible for prompt return of the substitute exam answer sheets. Advancement (E4-E6) and E7 Selection Board Eligibility results will include all substitute exams received and processed as long as there are no candidate discrepancies. Substitute exam answer sheets received after results publication will be immediately processed, and a profile sheet will be made available the following day. Check with your ESO to get the status of substitute exam processing.

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.

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.
