The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense released reference (a) requesting the Secretaries of the Military Departments provide guidance reminding all Service Members of the relevant Departmental policies governing the expression of their own political opinions and the traditions and norms of military service. 2. Service Members may establish social media accounts for personal, non- official use. Personal social media accounts must be clearly identifiable as personal accounts and may not be used to conduct official Department of the Navy (DON) or DoD communications, unless by exception identified in paragraph 3.26.a of reference (c). Use of military titles or appearance in uniform alone is not prohibited on personal social media accounts. However, Service Members must ensure that personal social media accounts avoid use of DON or DoD titles, insignia, uniforms, or symbols in a way that could imply DON or DoD sanction or endorsement of personal content. Where confusion or doubt is likely to arise regarding the personal nature of social media activities, Service Members are encouraged to include a disclaimer clarifying that their social media communications reflect only their personal views and do not necessarily represent the views of the DON, DoD, or the United States. As the position and grade of individual Service Members increase, it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish between personal opinions and official positions of the DON or DoD. Senior personnel are highly encouraged to include a disclaimer on personal social media communications. a. A sample disclaimer reads: "The opinions and views expressed here belong solely to the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Department of Defense (DoD) or its components. Any mention of commercial products or services does not imply DoD endorsement. Additionally, the presence of external hyperlinks does not signify DoD approval of the linked websites or their content, products, or services." 3. Service Members are permitted to use personal social media accounts to forward, like, or link to official information, provided it is done in a manner that does not express or imply DON or DoD sanction or endorsement of any personal content, and does not result in the unauthorized disclosure or dissemination of non-public information (or unclassified information that reveals classified information when aggregated). While Service Members may generally express their personal views on public issues, uniformed service brings certain limitations to expression, including on social media. a. Service Members are subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) (reference (e)), and Navy or Marine Corps regulations while on and off duty. Certain provisions of reference (e) restrict the expression of Service Members, including but not limited to: Article 88, Contempt Towards Officials; Article 92, Failure to Obey an Order or Regulation; Article 133, Conduct Unbecoming an Officer; and Article 134, Disorders and Neglects to the Prejudice of Good Order and Discipline or Conduct of a Nature to Bring Discredit Upon the Armed Forces. In accordance with references (b) and (c), language that may tend to diminish the confidence in or respect due to his or her superior officer(s) is prohibited to be published by Service Members, per the UCMJ. b. Service Members are encouraged to refrain from media engagement in matters of U.S. Government, DoD, and DON policy. 4. References (h) and (i) provide non-exhaustive lists of permissible and prohibited political activities by Service Members. Service Members may not engage in partisan political activity while on duty and should avoid inferences that their personal political activities imply, or appear to imply, official sponsorship, approval, or endorsement by the DON or DoD. 5. This ALNAV is not all-encompassing or an authoritative source for all regulations pertaining to the use of social media by Service Members. For further guidance, Service Members should review the references. a. Reference (f) can be found at [https://www.marines.mil/portals/1/docs/2021usmcsocialmediahanbook.pdf b.

This NAVADMIN announces the convening of the Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) U.S. Naval Test Pilot School (USNTPS) Selection Board #2 on 19 June 2025. This board will select highly-qualified Naval Aviators and Naval Flight Officers (NFO) for USNTPS. It will also select one fixed-wing pilot for U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School and one rotary-wing pilot for Empire Test Pilot School (ETPS). ETPS graduates have significant and long-lasting influence on platforms and systems that directly impact the future warfighting capability of the Fleet. Request command and Fleet community assistance to identify candidates with strong operational performance and, ideally, strong academic backgrounds in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics fields of study. 2. To be eligible for board consideration, a signed and command- endorsed application in line with reference (a), must be received by MyNavy Career Center (MNCC) no later than 8 May 2025. Applicants are encouraged to review reference (a) in detail to ensure their package complies with application guidelines. Applicants with missing required information may be removed from consideration. Additional documentation (including Wing/CAG endorsements, letters of recommendation, Fitness Reports (FITREP), etc.) will be accepted until 5 June 2025, but must be submitted by the applicant as a letter to the board, in line with subparagraph 4a below. The application must include e-mail address(es), phone number(s), college transcripts, Anthropometric Data Measurement Record, a current Physical Readiness Test and Body Composition Detail Report from Physical Readiness Information Management System, last FITREP, service agreement, and post-TPS test squadron assignment preferences. Current contact information (ashore/afloat email and phone) of the Commanding Officer must be included to expedite notification, if selected. 3. Typical post-TPS assignments for graduates are listed below, but are subject to change and vary board to board. Post-TPS assignments are typically finalized halfway through the TPS course of instruction. a. VX-20: VP, VQ, VAW, VRC b. HX-21: All Helo, VRM c. VX-23/VX-31: VFA, VAQ d. VX-30: VP, VAW, VAQ e. UX-24: All communities 4. Command Endorsement: a. The command endorsement must explicitly state whether the applicant, if selected, will be allowed and available to report for aircraft pre-arrival training by the following dates: (1) 1 August 2025 for fixed-wing pilots and tilt-rotor pilots (2) 1 October 2025 for rotary-wing (3) 1 November 2025 for NFO b. Applicants with endorsements but availability dates that fall after these pre-arrival training dates may be removed from consideration and not reviewed by the board. Inability for the applicant to meet the above dates may be mitigated by conducting initial training in a Temporary Additional Duty (TEMADD) status at the expense of the endorsing command. If this is required, it must be explicitly stated in the command endorsement that the endorsing command will provide TEMADD funds until the applicant can officially detach. If the applicant has official change of duty orders and is projected to transfer prior to the board convening date of 19 June 2025, a gaining command endorsement is required in addition to the endorsement from the applicant's current command. 5. USNTPS has a cooperative program with Purdue University wherein Purdue teaches asynchronous online pre-arrival courses that serve as a technical refresher and provide four credits toward a master's degree. Candidates selected for USNTPS will receive directions within 2 weeks of selection board results for their immediate enrollment in Purdue Online. Required pre- arrival coursework on foundational subjects (e.g., calculus and mechanics) will commence online approximately 5 months prior to USNTPS class convene date and will run concurrent to the preparatory aircraft training described above, dependent on the applicable timeline. In cases where the pre-arrival online courses precede aircraft training, candidates are expected to complete the online courses while still attached to their current command. If operational conflicts exist that prevent online pre-arrival course completion, selected candidates should contact USNTPS promptly to discuss contingencies. 6. Application package submissions: a. The preferred method of application submission is electronic. Email encrypted PDF submissions to cscselboard@navy.mil and carbon copy ernesto.r.villalba.mil@us.navy.mil and brandy.l.dempster- theisen.ctr@us.navy.mil.

Applicants should confirm receipt of their application package and all correspondence by calling the MNCC at 1-833-330-MNCC or DSN 882-6622. 8. Eligibility: a. Designated naval aviators and NFOs (13X0 and 1510 designators) through the grade of O4, who are qualified for flight duties and have not been terminated from flying status, are eligible for selection. b. The preferred unrestricted line (13X0) aviators are O3 and O4 aviators with detailer-forecasted career timing to complete the selected TPS program and a minimum 24-month follow-on test tour prior to their next career milestone (e.g. department head). c. Aerospace Engineering Duty Officer (1510) aviators through the grade of O4 may be selected if they are able to serve a 36-month follow-on test tour and still meet career milestones. d. Applicants determined to have insufficient career timing to meet the minimum test tour of 24 months may have their application removed from consideration. Applicants may address any timing considerations in their personal statement. e. Applicants should ensure they have a valid government passport that will not expire prior to completion of the class. f. USNTPS operates a diverse set of fixed-wing jet, prop, and rotary- wing aircraft. Core aircraft include H-60, H-72, T-6, and T-38. T-6 and T-38 ejection seat weight limits are 103-245 lb. All applicants must be able report to USNTPS pre-arrival training within the above weight limits. Applicants that have been anthropometrically or otherwise disqualified from a specific aircraft type, class, model, or series must include that information as part of their application package. Applicants who currently exceed ejection seat weight limits or are disqualified from a type, class, model, or series aircraft that preclude safe operation of TPS core aircraft may have their application removed from consideration. g. Applicants must have a current Tier 5 investigation or Tier 5 reinvestigation with eligibility for Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) before transferring to this command. If the applicant does not have the aforementioned eligibility, then the command supporting the applicant will initiate a request for eligibility, requesting interim TS/SCI eligibility and ensuring the eligibility request has been accepted and is being processed. Applicants unable to obtain a TS/SCI clearance may not be eligible for this assignment. 9.

WASHINGTON — The White House has directed the U.S. military to draw up options for increasing the American troop presence in Panama to achieve President Trump’s goal of “reclaiming” the Panama Canal, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the planning. During a joint address to Congress last week, Trump said, "to further enhance our national security, my administration will be reclaiming the Panama Canal.” Since then, administration officials have not said what "reclaiming" means.

Kelly, a former Navy combat pilot, responded to the tech billionaire's remark by saying “he's not a serious guy” and should “go back to building rockets.”

Amid Veterans Affairs layoffs and jeopardizing America's relationship with long-standing allies like Canada, here's how veterans and US military members are responding:

Folks, one problem with the current administration and the conflicts that impact our nation is the simple matter of telling the truth. See what happens when you are challenged with the truth. Lewis Goodall Gets Hung Up on by Trump Ally and LBC Caller

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the U.S. military to remove diversity-related content in accordance with President Donald Trump's executive order to end diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs across the federal government. Hegseth's order reportedly gave the Pentagon a deadline of Wednesday, March 5, to complete the task, but it looks as though the hasty effort had the unwanted side effect of erasing some of America's greatest heroes -- including at least one Medal of Honor recipient from World War II.

This further shows that Trump knows nothing about the military. What is a former Chief, who was a co-defendant in a classified documents case of all things serving on a board meant for future navy Officers. Sure does send the wrong message. President Donald Trump is nominating his close allies to serve on the board of visitors for the U.S. Naval Academy, a month after firing the previous board. On the list is Walt Nauta, a Navy veteran who has served as Trump’s body man and was federally indicted alongside the now-president in the classified documents case.

President Trump’s admiration for President Vladimir Putin of Russia has been endlessly dissected, but the American leader’s policy shifts since taking office again could have profound effects.

WASHINGTON (AP) — References to a World War II Medal of Honor recipient, the Enola Gay aircraft that dropped an atomic bomb on Japan and the first women to pass Marine infantry training are among the tens of thousands of photos and online posts marked for deletion as the Defense Department works to purge diversity, equity and inclusion content, according to a database obtained by The Associated Press.

The Defense Department has started placing probationary employees on administrative leave while they are awaiting official action by their organizations or until their termination takes effect. According to the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) local, approximately 20 civilian probationary employees at the Defense Health Agency were summoned to a conference room at the agency’s headquarters in Falls Church, Virginia, where they were informed that they were being terminated. They were told to hand over their ID cards and laptops before being walked out of the building.
