REF B is ALNAV 009/23 RESCISSION OF COVID-19 VACCINATION REQUIREMENT FOR MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES. REF C is USD P&R CONSOLIDATED DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE CORONAVIRUS DISEASE 2019 FORCE HEALTH PROTECTION GUIDANCE available at https://www.defense.gov/Spotlights/Coronavirus-DOD-Response/Latest-DOD- Guidance/ (Select "Health Protection Guidance" tab from the site menu on the left). REF D is NAVADMIN 165/21, SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY POLICY. REF E is OPNAVINST F3100.6K, SPECIAL INCIDENT REPORTING PROCEDURES. POC/OPNAV/COVID CELL, (703) 571-2822//EMAIL: OPNAV_COVID_CRISIS_RESPONSE_CELL@US.NAVY.MIL. RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN provides updated COVID-19 Standardized Operational Guidance (SOG 8.0), and rescinds and replaces reference (a) in its entirety, including the requirement that all personnel assigned to operational Navy units be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Reference (b) rescinded the COVID-19 vaccination requirement for Department of the Navy Service members. Under no circumstances shall a Commander mandate that any Navy Service member receive the COVID-19 vaccination. 2. Steady State COVID-19 Posture. Commanders at all levels are directed to balance operational employment with the health and safety of their units in accordance with current USD (P&R) Force Health Protection Guidance (reference (c)). Commanders and medical providers are also encouraged to consider the COVID-19 Operational Risk Management Matrix for Deployments (available at https://media.defense.gov/2023/Feb/13/2003160523/-1/- 1/0/BUMED%20NAVY%20COVID-19%20OPERATIONAL%20RISK%20MATRIX.PDF as a tool to evaluate risks to mission, force, and individuals. 3. Mission Risk. Commanders should seek advice from medical providers regarding medical readiness of personnel to inform deployment and other operational mission decisions. COVID-19 vaccination status shall not be a consideration in assessing individual service member suitability for deployment or other operational missions. Commanders retain the authority to implement Health Protection Measures at any time or manner deemed necessary in support of operational safety and effectiveness, and where necessary, to restrict movement of service members in order to comply with host nation quarantine regulations. Geographic Navy Component Commanders (GNCC) will coordinate with country teams and local authorities to identify any host nation requirements related to COVID-19 testing or vaccination status that may restrict or create conditions-based criteria for liberty. 4. Sovereign Immunity. U.S. Government policy protects the sovereign immunity of warships, naval auxiliaries, and aircraft, including protecting crew information to the maximum extent possible. Within the context of COVID- 19, host nations may request or require crew or ship information that exceeds that authorized by U.S. policy or international law. 4.a. GNCCs will assess and determine in advance any host nation quarantine regulation requirements that may challenge U.S. sovereign immunity policy (see reference (d) for additional guidance). In all cases, GNCCs shall authorize the minimum information necessary to meet operational requirements. The Navy Declaration of Health (NAVMED 6210/3) is the only authorized form for providing health information to foreign officials. If required by the host nation, the GNCC may authorize Commanders to include on the NAVMED 6210/3 or on a separate U.S. generated document accompanying the NAVMED 6210/3 (e.g., Command Letterhead) that their unit is 100% vaccinated, those disembarking have tested negative within the required timeframe, or that those disembarking have received a COVID-19 vaccine booster. GNCC authority to approve these COVID-19 related exceptions to sovereign immunity policy may be delegated no further than the numbered Fleet Commander. 4.b. Exceptions to Policy (ETP). Where host nation quarantine regulations create requirements outside of the exceptions listed in paragraph 4.a, GNCCs shall determine, in accordance with reference (d), whether such requirements constitute a potential waiver of sovereign immunity. Any action the GNCC determines may constitute a waiver of sovereign immunity must be coordinated with OPNAV N3N5 for approval no later than five days ahead of need. To avoid setting precedence beyond COVID-19, ETPs will be messaged to the host nation as explicitly linked to the pandemic. Requests shall include justification for port selection, host nation mitigation and testing requirements, alternate port options, impact to mission if the request is denied, medical, legal, collection and privacy risk, and feedback from country team coordination. ETP notifications and requests may be sent via record message traffic or to the OPNAV N3N5 Legal and Oceans Policy Advisor. 4.c. Guidance for Commanders. Per GNCC direction, Commanders shall comply with domestic and foreign quarantine regulations for port entry and document compliance on NAVMED 6210/3. Absent GNCC approval in advance, Commanders will not submit to host nation COVID-19 testing nor provide individual or collective medical data, copies of health records, nor any supplementary or locally-demanded health forms, and shall not grant access to ship or crew health records or allow the same to be searched or inspected by host nations. If compelling circumstances require a Commander to acquiesce to additional host nation requirements without obtaining an ETP or GNCC concurrence (e.g., personnel emergency, weather avoidance), report the event and circumstances as soon as practicable to OPNAV N3N5 via the chain of command. 5. Reporting Procedures. Individual COVID-19 cases do not need to be reported. Medical providers shall report pandemic or infectious disease related medical evacuations, hospitalizations, and deaths via Disease Reporting System, internet (DRSi). OPREP-3 Navy Blue messages are required for significant shipboard operational impacts due to pandemic or infectious disease. Format messages per reference (e). 6. Released by VADM E. H. Black, III, Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Operations, Plans and Strategy, OPNAV N3N5.// BT #0001 NNNN CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED//

Navy Chief Commissary Stewart Daniel John Atkins was serving on a ship near Cuba during the Spanish-American War when a harsh storm blew one of his shipmates overboard. Despite choppy waters that threatened to consume anyone who went in them, Atkins jumped in to try to save the wayward sailor. That bravery earned him the Medal of Honor.

WASHINGTON - When it comes to being one of the top installations across the Navy’s shore enterprise, many base leaders would say their people are the driving force to earning such honor. That is exactly what two commanding officers conveyed after learning their teams won first place in the 2023 Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) Installation Excellence Award competition. Naval Station Mayport won top honors in the large installation category, while Commander, Fleet Activities Okinawa claimed first place in the small installation category.

WASHINGTON — The Naval Research Laboratory plans to begin tests this spring of a pair of ionospheric sensors on the International Space Station — tests that if successful could lead to a constellation of monitoring satellites that would enhance Defense Department high frequency radio communications. The Experiment for Characterizing the Lower Ionosphere & Prediction of Sporadic-E (ECLIPSE) sensors are slated to launch to the ISS in March via the DoD Space Test Program, Andrew Nicholas, one of the effort’s lead researchers, told Breaking Defense in an email.

GOOSE CREEK, S.C. — Nuclear operators are considered the Navy’s “best and brightest,” with only the top-scoring applicants gaining acceptance into the prestigious training program. But a dozen current and former nuclear-trained sailors, as well as loved ones of such operators who have died by suicide, said the unique challenges and pressures of the job have led some to suffer from severe mental health issues beginning at the school and extending well beyond graduation.

The U.S. downed an high altitude flying object that flew into American airspace near Alaska, a Pentagon spokesman confirmed to reporters Friday. Around 1:45 p.m. Friday, a F-22 pilot, with the U.S. Northern Command, flew from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, and shot an AIM-9x at the object, which was flying at about 40,000 feet, Pentagon Press Secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said during a Friday press briefing. “The object was flying at an altitude of 40,000 feet and pose a reasonable threat to the safety of civilian flight,” Ryder said. “U.S. Northern Command is beginning recovery operations now.”

Trying to combat delays in pay and personnel requests for sailors, the Navy has rolled out a dashboard that will give leaders at every command the ability to see an overview of their sailors' requests. The sea service says that the tool will let command leadership "gain insight into the status of their Sailors' initiated, submitted, and pending pay and personnel cases" and take ownership of getting those problems resolved quickly.

On Monday, Feb 6, I went to the car wash on NAS Oceana. When I put 4 dollars worth of coins in the slot water started gushing out from the ceiling. I went to another stall and washed my car. After I was done I went to the N.A.S. Oceana Auto Hobby Shop to inform them of the stall and to get a refund. The individual that I talked to by the name of Paul was very rude and raised his voice when he said he did not have the coins to give me a refund. After asking for his name, he was able to find and then refunded the $4. They also wanted to know why I had not told them earlier. I moved stalls first and washed my car at my convenience before notifying them. After that I contacted the MWR office to make a complaint and am expecting a return call from the Deputy Director or Director (as of Feb 8, neither Scott George or Vincent Spagnuolo have contacted me.) Obviously it's not about the 4 dollars, my primary goal is to ensure that MWR staff are not rude to Sailors, family or vets. This is more so for the young Sailors that live in the barracks. Those are our benefits for serving in the military: Active, Reserve, Vet or family. It's odd that with the current mental health issues in the Navy, the MWR cannot get a grip on the fact that they are supposed to be there for morale, welfare and recreation. If you have any complaints about the MWR Auto Hobby Shop on N.A.S. Oceana, you can call them at the contact below. You can also contact me if you wish via the contact form.

For almost 119 years, NMCRS has helped Sailors and Marines in hard times. The campaign theme, "By Our Own, For Our Own," embodies our shared commitment to take care of our Shipmates and fellow Marines. This year, the 2023 Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) Active Duty Fund Drive (ADFD) will be conducted from 1 March to 30 April 2023. 2. The confidential financial assistance NMCRS provides to our Sailors and Marines gives peace of mind when a financial crisis exceeds their financial ability and keeps them mission ready. Your contributions support interest-free loans and grants for Shipmates and Marines facing financial challenges, including those dealing with basic living expense issues and family emergencies. In 2022, NMCRS saw an extraordinary increase in the need for support, providing approximately 40,000 Sea Service members with more than $42 million in relief. The Society does not receive government funding; it relies on the support of Active Duty and retired Sailors and Marines, and other benefactors. 3. The budget counseling and financial education provided by NMCRS volunteers allows our Navy and Marine Corps families to be better prepared to address the financial responsibility of adding a new family member or being prepared for emergencies. 4. The roadmap to success requires engaged leadership and management at all levels. Early assignment of motivated fund drive coordinators and key people will ensure we have sufficient time to reach 100 percent of our Sailors and Marines. Staying engaged throughout the drive is imperative to meeting the goal of 100 percent meaningful contact. Leadership must ensure that our Sailors and Marines have the opportunity to learn about the critically important programs and services provided by NMCRS and offered the opportunity to donate. 5. During the NMCRS ADFD, Sailors and Marines are authorized to endorse, support and participate in fundraising events, but commands and organizations must uphold the Department of the Navy's policy of truly voluntary giving. a. Commands and organizations are reminded to review the regulations governing fundraising for NMCRS to determine which activities are permissible during the fund drive. Authorized ADFD fundraising activities in support of NMCRS include, but are not limited to command-sponsored raffles, lotteries, bake sales, car washes, or bowling tournaments. Fundraising events must be conducted on Department of Defense owned or leased property; otherwise, the event loses its "By Our Own, For Our Own" designation and cannot be command-endorsed. Commands and organizations are also strongly encouraged to communicate the benefits of NMCRS and its programs and achieving 100 percent meaningful contact through speeches, meetings, and videos, both in person and shared on social media. Limited appropriated fund support is permissible for kick-off events, award ceremonies, and other non-solicitation events to build support and awareness. b. References (a) through (c) prohibit any coercive activities counter to the policy of truly voluntary giving, such as setting unit-level dollar goals or participation goals. Any action, or perceived action, that does not allow Service Members to have free choice to give or not to give, or any action, or perceived action that Service Members do not have a free choice to keep their gifts confidential is prohibited. The following fundraising activities are prohibited: selling civilian clothes privileges or special liberty, raffling government parking spaces, sponsoring casino-like games of chance, soliciting civilian or contractor personnel, or soliciting outside of the federal workplace. Civilian or contractor personnel are allowed to support the ADFD through online donations and participation in fundraisers, but may not be solicited to do so. c. Coordinators for the NMCRS ADFD should consult their JAG or ethics counselor for further guidance with regard to specific questions. 6. I am confident that with the active support and engagement of our leadership during the ADFD, NMCRS will remain positioned to continue the critical work of helping our Sailors, Marines and their families. There are numerous ways to make a contribution through either payroll allotment, online credit card, or cash to help our brothers and sisters in need. We should take full advantage of this annual opportunity to help our Shipmates and fellow Marines through the 2023 ADFD campaign. 7. Released by Admiral Michael M.

This program will send qualifying enlisted Sailors directly to Officer Candidate School (OCS) to commission as a TAR officer. Applications will be accepted for all TAR designators based on community management quota determinations. 2. This program is open to TAR enlisted Sailors possessing a baccalaureate degree who have completed at least 6 months of time in service and their initial training pipeline. 3. Application procedures and education requirements are outlined in this NAVADMIN and references (a) and (b). 4. As delineated in reference (a), applicants must meet the prescribed qualifications in line with this program and the program authorization (PA) of the designator for which they are applying. 5. Selection process: a. Nominations will occur at the commanding officer (CO) level with endorsement by the immediate superior in command (ISIC). Nominations from the initial training pipeline will not be accepted. The nominating CO and ISIC do not need to be a TAR officer. Applicants must be favorably nominated using the COs recommendation section in the officer programs application, OPNAV 1420/1. The COs endorsement must contain: (1) a statement indicating that the applicant is serving on full duty without limitation, (2) a statement that the applicant meets physical fitness and body fat percentage standards, and (3) a statement addressing any adverse performance evaluation data as well as positive steps taken by the applicant to address these performance issues. b. COs should ensure all portions are completed and that the applicant meets all TAR ISPP and designator-specific eligibility criteria. c. COs will then forward nominations to their ISIC for endorsement. d. The ISIC, if in concurrence, will forward nominations and endorsement to Officer Definite Recall Program (PERS-92). e. PERS-92 will review all nominations to ensure that TAR ISPP and individual PA requirements are met. PERS-92 will reject any nomination that is incomplete, ineligible, or if the applicant requested designator is closed due to unavailable quotas. In such cases, PERS-92 will return nominations to the originating command and the ISIC will be notified of the discrepancy which prevented further processing. f. PERS-92 will forward complete nomination packages to Reserve Community Management (BUPERS-35) for consideration at TAR ISPP selection panels. Selection panels will be held at least semi- annually or in conjunction with scheduled TAR transfer and re- designation boards. g. Following the TAR ISPP selection panel, PERS-92 will notify COs and applicants of the results and ensure selectees are processed to attend OCS at the earliest opportunity. 6. Additional requirements: a. Applicants must be of good moral character and have no record of disciplinary action under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, Article 15, no court-martial convictions, and no civilian felony convictions by any civil court or misdemeanors (except minor ($300 or less fine) traffic violations) within the three years preceding selection. An offense involving driving under the influence of an intoxicant (driving under the influence or driving while intoxicated, etc.) is a major traffic violation and is disqualifying if within 4 years the preceding selection date. Any substantiated in-service drug use or in-service alcohol abuse (any record of either, regardless of date) will result in disqualification. b. To ensure applicants are ready for OCS physical fitness requirements, applicants must have passed their most recent physical fitness assessment (PFA) with an overall score of at least *excellent*. If no official physical readiness test scores are available, a mock PFA will suffice provided it is administered by a qualified command fitness leader. The run option is the preferred cardio option for the PFA. c. Applicants must have a minimum of 6 months of time in service in order to apply. d. There is no requirement for an applicant to have achieved their warfare qualification. Not having a warfare qualification will not be viewed adversely by the TAR ISPP selection board. 7. No waivers are authorized for TAR ISPP. 8. Due to the nature of the selection process, applicants and their commands will be contacted directly by PERS-92 for notification of results. Once notifications are complete, TAR ISPP results will be released on the TAR transfer/re-designation website. 9. PAs can be found by going to the MyNavy HR website (https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/) and clicking on career management, then community management, then officer community. 10. Points of contact: a.

As the Navy continues to struggle with suicide and getting its sailors to seek help from mental health services, some commands are turning to new, unconventional tools. At Naval Station Mayport, Florida, a commander didn't want his unit -- a regional maintenance center very similar to the one in Norfolk, Virginia, that recently experienced a string of suicides -- to become the next headline. What resulted was a proactive forum built on transparency that reportedly got rave reviews from sailors and may have sparked a trend at the small base.
