The song "Everytime We Touch" by Cascada has about 142 beats per minute, which puts it slightly below the 150 to 170 steps per minute of your average recreational runner. For Navy Lt. Paul Johnson, the song makes him feel like he can run through a brick wall and will be a featured track on one of his many playlists as he steps off Friday on his attempted record-breaking run across the continental U.S.

KEY RESOURCES NAVY LEADERS NEED TO KNOW

The Navy’s small, C-2 Greyhound fleet is picking up additional air time and surging to support aircraft carriers in the Pacific, as all V-22 Ospreys remain grounded following a fatal Air Force crash in Japan last year. The Navy’s CMV-22 Osprey, tapped to replace the aging C-2 Greyhound to fulfill the carrier onboard delivery mission to ferry personnel, mail and priority cargo from land to an aircraft carrier’s deck, were grounded following a November crash that killed nine airmen.

Sailor to Sailor - Jan 2024

June 9, 2022, started like any other day—I was up at five a.m. to get ready for work at Marine Aircraft Group 36 in Okinawa, Japan. At the end of my drive, I checked my phone and found a message from my good friend Teedha, my first flight doctor in the fleet. There had been an Osprey mishap in California, she wrote, possibly at the VMM-364 squadron I’d left a little more than a year before. My stomach dropped as I pictured the faces of my friends still there and I told myself not to panic. I didn’t know anything yet—the severity of the crash or if anyone was hurt.

Tampa, FL - The United States has filed a civil lawsuit against two New Horizons Computer Learning Center franchises and their owner, Robert J. Remington, alleging they submitted false claims to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for Post-9/11 GI Bill tuition payments. The defendants allegedly overcharged the VA by failing to report tuition waivers and scholarships provided to GI Bill students and falsely certifying compliance with Title 38’s ban on incentive compensation tied to student enrollment. The GI Bill financially supports service members, veterans, and their eligible dependents who attend an education or training program at an educational institution. The longer a person serves in the military, the greater the benefits available under the GI Bill. If a school offers to waive tuition for a student receiving less than 100-percent assistance, that tuition waiver must be reported to the VA and the student’s portion reduced accordingly. Additionally, Title 38 prohibits participating schools from paying any commission, bonus, or other incentive payment based directly or indirectly on securing student enrollments. In its complaint, the United States alleges Remington and his businesses, LTJ Group V, LLC, and Innovak of Florida, Inc., which did business as New Horizons Computer Learning Centers, repeatedly failed to report tuition waivers for students receiving less than 100-percent assistance under the GI Bill and failed to comply with Title 38 by paying commissions, bonuses, or other incentive payments to enrollment representatives based on sales of New Horizons courses to GI Bill students. The claims asserted against Remington, LTJ Group V, and Innovak of Florida are allegations only, and there has been no determination of liability. This case was investigated by the Department of Justice and the Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Inspector General. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Lindsay S. Griffin and Mamie V. Wise. Tips and complaints from all sources about potential fraud, waste, abuse and mismanagement can be reported to the VA Office of Inspector General at (800) 488-8244 or at vaoighotline@va.gov.

In line with reference (a), this NAVADMIN announces the establishment of the Robotics Warfare Specialist (RW) general rating. RW Sailors will enable Robotic and Autonomous System (RAS) operations and maintenance at the tactical edge. RWs will be the subject matter experts for computer vision, mission autonomy, navigation autonomy, data systems, artificial intelligence and machine learning on our RAS platforms. 2. The RW rating is a major milestone in our Navy's relentless march to achieve a truly hybrid Fleet. This dedicated robotics rating will accelerate development of deep expertise in rapidly advancing autonomous technologies. This new rating is now open to Active Duty Sailors. Selected Reserve (SELRES) Sailors will be integrated into the RW rating at a later date. 3. The primary source ratings for RW conversions will be all those currently or previously assigned to billets in unmanned vehicle divisions and Sailors who have earned applicable Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) codes. E-4 through E-9 Active Duty Sailors meeting those criteria may submit an Electronic Personnel Action Request (NAVPERS 1306/7) to the Bureau of Naval Personnel, Enlisted Community Management Division (BUPERS-32). Interested applicants can find applicable NEC codes, conversion package requirements, and procedures posted on the MyNavy HR robotics community website: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Community- Management/Enlisted/Robotics-Warfare/. 4. All Active Duty ratings are open for conversion to RW, but it is important to note that this will initially be a small and highly selective rating. All Sailor requests for conversion to RW are required to be forwarded to BUPERS-32 expeditiously. However, BUPERS-32 will consider the recommendations of the current command and losing rating community manager. Any recommendations for denying conversion to RW for an otherwise qualified candidate shall be adjudicated by Director, Military Community Management (BUPERS- 3). Rating conversion requests will be accepted on a rolling basis. Successful applicants will be notified by BUPERS-32. SELRES dates and requirements will be published in the future. 5. The following is the first Navy-Wide AD RW Advancement Exam schedule: a. E-5 and E-6: September 2024 (Cycle 264) b. E-7: January 2025 (Cycle 266) 6. The following is the first E-7 and E-8/E-9 RW selection/screening board schedule: a. E-8 and E-9 (Active Duty): March 2025 (FY26 Board) b. E-7 (Active Duty): July 2025 (FY26 Board) 7. All Sailors that have successfully screened to compete for a higher paygrade billet in the Senior Enlisted Marketplace will have the remaining portion of the two-year screened status honored in the RW rating. Sailors that have been selected for advancement but have not yet incremented will be accessed into the RW rating at the higher paygrade. 8. This NAVADMIN does not modify any previous guidance concerning early separation, Fleet reserve, conversion packages, Career Waypoints (CWAY) reenlistment requests, or Reserve affiliation requests. CWAY reenlistment requests dated prior to the RW paygrade conversion date shall be submitted per the source rating. Selective Reenlistment Bonus and SELRES affiliation bonus payments for Sailors selected for conversion to RW will continue to be paid after the RW paygrade conversion date. 9. For questions about the application process or about the RW rating, contact the RW Enlisted Community Manager (ECM) or the Reserve RW Enlisted Community Manager (RECM): a. ECM: RWCM Christopher M.

REF B IS NAVY WARFARE PUBLICTION 5-01, NAVY PLANNING.// RMKS/1. SITUATION. Over the last two years of implementing adaptive mobilization (AM) to fulfill steady state activation requirements, Commander, Navy Reserve Force (CNRF) has identified barriers to the execution of the mass activation capabilities of AM. A major barrier to the success of AM is manning wholeness. 2. BACKGROUND. 2.A In October and November of 2023 an operational planning team (OPT) was stood up to perform mission analysis, course of action (COA) development, and COA analysis/comparison via a table top exercise (TTX). During that TTX a number of barriers to success were identified including manning wholeness in support of AM. 2.B Over the past two years significant efforts to distribute mobilization processing have been underway. The most notable result of these efforts is the Navy's expansion from a single Navy Mobilization Processing site (NMPS)to now 16 NMPSs distributed across the continental United States. The establishment of multiple NMPSs has resulted in increased mobilization processing throughput capacity and provided redundancy to the Navy's ability to mobilize Sailors for Individual Augmentee (IA) steady-state requirements. 2.C The expansion from a single NMPS to 16 NMPSs brings with it a need to evaluate manning associated with echelon-respective AM processes. The actions prescribed in this PLANORD will ensure alignment in planning and fulfillment of these manning needs utilizing the processes outlined in reference (a) and reference (b) to: 2.C.i. Ensure a common understanding of the situation regarding manning needs and requirements for headquarters, supporting commanders, adaptive mobilization readiness teams (AMRTs) and mobilization processing teams (MPTs). 2.C.ii. Historical analysis of NMPS throughput. 2.C.iii. Determination of manpower requirements to perform steady-state mobilization and demobilization processing. 2.C.iv. Review of steady state manpower requirements to ensure support of a scalable mobilization process i.e. ability to execute mass-activation. 3. SCHEDULE. 3.A. FY-24 AM Manning Mission Analysis and Course of Action Development. 3.A.i. CNRF will coordinate and stand up an OPT in order to execute analysis and COA development and analysis/comparison phases of the Navy planning process ISO manning of adaptive mobilization readiness teams and mobilization processing teams on or about 5-6 March 2024. This OPT will be held in-person in Norfolk, VA at the Joint Expeditionary Base - Little Creek library and will include up to two members from each Echelon II/III/IV stakeholders. 3.A.ii. The OPT will utilize processes of reference (a) and reference (b) to validate and update all manning analyses performed and to develop courses of action to identify barriers to appropriate manning fulfillment and application. 4. TASKS 4.A. CNRF will plan, coordinate, and execute, the event described in paragraph 3. Attendance will be coordinated with attending stakeholders via separate correspondence. 4.B. Supporting commanders designated representative will participate in these events, in-person, and participate as subject matter experts (SMEs). These SMEs should be associated with manpower (N1) and AM processing (N3/N5). Enlisted SME attendance is highly encouraged. 4.C. For these events, objectives include the following tasks: 4.C.i. Review previous AM manning plans including mission and intent, purpose, externally imposed limitations, and facts and assumptions. 4.C.ii. Validate/update previous facts and assumptions, staff estimates, risk assessments, and decision tools. 4.C.iii. Identify resource shortfalls. 4.C.iv. Ensure that if resourced properly for steady-state activations, these processes are scalable at determined staff levels to support mass-activation. 5. ADMINISTRATION AND LOGISTICS.

Consistent with the direction and authority contained in references (a) through (d), this ALNAVRESFOR message provides additional guidance for the submission and processing of High Year Tenure (HYT) waiver requests for Selected Reserve (SELRES) Sailors under the HYT Plus program. 2. Reference (a) announced the indefinite extension of the HYT Plus Pilot, reference (b), with modifications. 3. Selected Reserve (SELRES, drill with pay) a. Under HYT Plus, all HYT requests will be approved for all SELRES paygrades and ratings except for Command Master Chiefs (CMDCM) and Command Senior Chiefs (CMDCS). Effective 1 October 2024, CMDCM and CMDCS will be required to meet HYT requirements in accordance with references (c) and (d). Otherwise, all HYT requests for SELRES who drill with pay will be liberally approved in two year increments, provided the members remain in valid SELRES billets. Sailors may continue to apply for further waivers, while HYT Plus remains in effect. b. SELRES Sailors desiring to participate in HYT Plus will submit an HYT waiver request using a NAVPERS 1306/7, Electronic Personnel Action Request: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Portals/55/Reference/ Forms/NAVPERS/NAVPERS_1306-7_Rev_03-23.pdf?ver=J7oH xZc7iOfKR7cfOpyNiA%3d%3d. c. All requests will be submitted to a Sailor's Navy Reserve Activity (NRA) via their Unit Mobilization Unit Identification Code (UMUIC) Commanding Officer, where the member holds a current billet assignment. The UMUIC CO will validate that the member is satisfactorily participating and is recommended for retention. If the UMUIC CO is unavailable, the UMUIC Executive Officer or Command Senior Enlisted Leader may endorse the request. The NRA CO (or delegate) will validate and/or confirm that the member is in good standing. d.

This ALNAVRESFOR message supersedes reference (a) and provides guidance for Calendar Year (CY) 2024 Season One (S1) Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP) for Selected Reserve (SELRES) Sailors, beginning 1 March and ending 30 April 2024. 2. To improve MAP in the Navy Reserve, we are empowering reserve command triads to identify and recognize their most talented Sailors through the meritorious advancement process. Our Reserve Force is largely prior service with unique accession pathways. SELRES overall rating health and advancement outlook is similar but not identical to AC/TAR planning factors. Reserve MAP has specific controls to ensure our force maintains a healthy and balanced total advancement opportunity for each rating. 3. For MAP-R CY24 Season One, Navy Reserve Force will convene an Echelon II MAP board for E-4 to E-5 and E-5 to E-6 candidates in non-CNIFR readiness units and all E-5 to E-6 controlled ratings for operational and CNIFR units. The ECH II MAP board will ensure MAP selections are determined utilizing a board precept, convening order and selection standards consistent with promotion boards. 4. CY24 Reserve MAP-R Season One a. Each MAP-R season is aligned with the Navy-wide advancement exam (NWAE) cycles to reward the best performing Sailors. This will require command triads to select their best and fully qualified Sailors for MAP-R nominations, without regard to NWAE results; however it does not relieve Sailors from the need to study for the technical rating information tested by the NWAE. b. Season one window: 1 March - 30 April 2023. c. Action: All Navy Reserve Units must request Unit Approver access using NSIPS. Readiness and Mobilization Commands (REDCOMs) and Immediate Superior in Command (ISIC) Commands must request REDCOM (RCC) Approver and ISIC Approver access respectively. MAP-R NSIPS tutorials are located at https://www.nsips.cloud.navy.mil under the training tab. Reference (b) contains guidance on NSIPS MAP-R user roles. 5. Eligibility. MAP-R is open to all E-3, E-4 and E-5 Sailors who meet MAP-R advancement eligibility requirements per references (c) and (d) and are in a valid pay billet. Prior Service Re-enlistment Eligibility - Reserve (PRISE-R) Sailors are eligible only if their new rate is permanent before 1 March 2024. a. Sailors may only meritoriously advance one paygrade. Sailors in a frocked status are not eligible for advancement to the next higher paygrade until advanced (i.e., frocked E-5 cannot be meritoriously advanced to E-6). b. MAP-R Time-in-Rate (TIR) requirements. The minimum TIR dates must be on or before: (1) E-6: 1 January 2023 (2) E-5: No TIR requirement (3) E-4: No TIR requirement c. Mobilized, Definite Recall, ADOS, and Canvasser Recruiter (CANREC) Sailors. Sailors who are currently mobilized or serving on Definite Recall, ADOS, or CANREC orders may compete for a SELRES MAP-R nomination opportunity but are ineligible for AC/TAR quotas. Nomination packages for Sailors on Mobilization, Definite Recall, and ADOS orders must be submitted in NSIPS via the automation tool by the Sailor's respective Navy Reserve Unit (specifically their Unit Mobilization Unit Identification Code (UMUIC)). Nomination packages for Sailors on CANREC orders must be submitted manually to CNRF via their respective recruiting region. Nomination packages for Sailors supporting the Navy Reserve Center on long term ADOS or Definite Recall orders must be submitted manually to the REDCOM. d. PMK-EE. Per reference (e), Sailors must complete PMK-EE for the desired advancement paygrade to be eligible for the Meritorious Advancement Program. e. Required attachments for E-4 to E-5 and E-5 to E-6 MAP-R candidates (all readiness units and operational units submitting a Sailor in a controlled rating listed in paragraph 10): (1). MAP-R nominations must contain a minimum of two evaluations from 1 March 2022 through 1 March 2024. Packages submitted without the required evaluations will be determined ineligible for MAP-R unless a waiver is submitted in the NSIPS MAP-R package on tab 2. (2). MAP-R nominations must contain the two most recent physical fitness assessment (PFA) data. Packages submitted without the required PFA data must submit a waiver in the NSIPS MAP-R package on tab 2. 6. Nominations. Readiness units receive one nomination to E5 and one nomination to E6. Additional MAP-R nomination opportunities are allocated as follows: a. CANREC. Each Talent Acquisition Group (NTAG/RTAG) will compete for nominations within their respective region (East, West or Reserve). Region East and Region West both are allotted one E-6 nomination. Recruiting Reserve Command is allotted two E6 nominations. Navy Recruiting Command HQ and PERS-9 are allotted one E-6 nomination each. 7. Quotas. Non-CNIFR Readiness units receive one E3 to E4 quota. The list of MAP-R quotas by UIC for Operational and CNIFR ISICs will be loaded into the NSIPS automation tool and will be visible after the guidance sheet is released. 8. E-3 to E-4 MAP-R process: a. The authority to select and MAP-R Sailors to E-4 is delegated to reserve readiness and operational unit Commanding Officers (CO) so they may recognize their most deserving E-3 Sailor. b. Each Unit CO will receive one E-3 to E-4 MAP-R quota. c. Advanced Electronic Field and Advanced Technical Field ratings are ineligible for E-4 MAP-R due to rating requirements described in reference (c). 9. E-4 to E-5 MAP-R process for operational units and CNIFR units: a. The authority to select and MAP-R Sailors to E-5 is delegated to each squadron CO, operational unit CO and NIFR Region CO. b. MAP-R quotas for all operational units will be loaded into the NSIPS automation tool. c. Full MAP-R packages are not required in NSIPS but should follow paragraph 11b guidance if authorized by the respective CO. 10. E-5 to E-6 MAP-R process for operational units and CNIFR units: a. The authority to elect and MAP-R Sailors to E6 is delegated to each squadron CO, operational unit CO, and NIFR Region CO. b. In order to control over advancing particular E6 rates and to maintain rating health, several ratings will be controlled. MAP-R candidates in controlled ratings will not automatically be advanced. Instead, they will be reviewed at the ECH II MAP-R board, where a completed NSIPS MAP-R package will be evaluated. c. Controlled ratings: ABF1, ABH1, AC1, AE1, AME1, AO1, AT1, AWF1, AWO1, AWR1, AWS1, AZ1, CE1, DC1, EA1, EM1, ETV1, FC1, FCA1, FT1, GSE1, GSM1, ITS1-COMMS, ITS1-EW, LN1, MC1, MM1, MMA1, MR1, ND1, PR1, RP1, SB1 RS1, STG1, STS1, SW1, and TM1 11. Process: a. To utilize E-3, E-4 and E-5 MAP-R quotas, UMUIC must use NSIPS to process and validate the meritorious advancement. MAP-R Unit Approvers will use steps 1-5 in paragraph 11b of this message for MAP-R validation. b. NSIPS utilizes mandatory gates for MAP-R submission. Following the below steps is crucial for MAP-R quota usage and must be completed NLT 2359 on 18 March 2024 by the MAP-R Unit Approver. (1) MAP-R Unit Approver selects the E-3/E-4/E-5 Sailor in NSIPS. (2) MAP-R Unit Approver writes the MAP package using the "nomination comments" blocks. E-3 to E-4 applications can use N/A. Readiness units and Operational Units with Controlled ratings must submit a full package. (3) MAP-R Unit Approver will upload the two most recent PFA results and current evaluations to satisfy system requirements. See paragraph 5(e) for additional information. (4) MAP-R Unit Approver will save the document which will automatically be forwarded on 18 March 2024 at 2359 to the respective ISIC. (5) In the upper right hand corner, the MAP-R submission will update from "Not Recommended" to "Recommended when all requirements are met. 12. Timeline. The MAP-R automation tool is designed to route MAP-R packages automatically on the dates below. Failure to comply with selection due dates is irrevocable, resulting in commands forfeiting their opportunity to submit MAP-R nomination package(s) for season one. a. 18 March 2024: Deadline for all readiness and operational units to submit nomination packages in NSIPS. The automation tool will automatically route the nomination to the appropriate REDCOM or ISIC on this date at 2359. b. 18 March 2024: Deadline for NTAG/RTAGs to submit nomination packages to their respective region.

A gruesome discovery at a hunting club in Georgia late last year has finally culminated in an arrest. Authorities say dismembered remains found by hunters last December belong to 40-year-old Mindi Mebane Kassotis, who is believed to have been dead since November 2022.

This is the latest page that has been added to NavyAdvancement.com. It has been added to the career section, not the advancement category. Some may wonder why it's in career instead of advancement. Well hopefully the article will give a hint. I meant to add this some time ago after a Sailor (very sharp Sailor in my opinion) retired, a bit disgruntled with the Navy because they thought they had the SSP needed to make Chief - I truly wish she would have made it. Comments and suggestions are encouraged. Sustained Superior Performance

The Navy is adding new ratings eligible for incentives under the Detailing Marketplace Assignment Policy, the enlisted career management tool introduced last year to reduce manning gaps at sea. DMAP allows sailors in sea-intensive ratings at E-4 and below who wrap up a four-year apprentice sea tour to receive certain benefits if they sign on to another three-year journeyman sea tour as an E-5.

A U.S. Army officer says a squatter moved into her DeKalb County home while she was serving on active duty, and now she can’t have him evicted. She told Channel 2 Consumer Investigator Justin Gray that she found out when her real estate agent was making final preparations to sell the house. “He’s not a tenant. He’s a squatter,” Lt. Colonel Dahlia Daure said. There are ‘beware of dog’ signs in some windows and cardboard covering others at her Ellenwood home in DeKalb County.
