WASHINGTON — Lawmakers dismayed by persistent unsafe conditions in privatized military housing are pushing for the creation of a council to provide oversight, collect public complaints and report its findings to Congress. Bills introduced in the Senate and House this week call for a new Military Housing Readiness Council to serve as a focal point for accountability after years of sluggish efforts by the Defense Department to improve poor housing. The group would be comprised of Defense Department officials, service members, military families and military housing experts.

This NAVADMIN announces a pilot program for Senior Enlisted Advance to Position (SEA2P) designed to keep deploying units mission-ready by aggressively filling critical at-sea leadership billets. The pilot program will convene a billet selection board consisting of senior representatives from Fleet and participating type commander (TYCOM) staffs to select those Sailors who are best and fully qualified to advance and fill specific priority sea billets. The pilot includes the Nimitz Strike Group on the West Coast and the Bataan Amphibious Ready Group on the East Coast. Additionally, the pilot will include USS GEORGE WASHINGTON (CVN 73). Factors for consideration in determining best and fully qualified applicants include sustained superior performance, documented qualifications, platform experience, and potential to succeed in the billet. Sailors selected must obligate service (OBLISERV) to complete 36 months in the SEA2P billet and will be permanently advanced upon reporting to their ultimate duty station. This pilot will be limited to critical E8 and E9 sea billets and is separate from reference (a). 2. To be eligible for SEA2P, Sailors must have been selected or screened as a non-select for advancement to E8 or E9 by the respective fiscal year (FY) 2023 selection boards, or be advancement-eligible for the respective FY-24 boards in line with reference (b). Time-in-rate (TIR) waivers will be approved for FY-24 advancement-eligible Sailors who are selected for SEA2P. All Sailors selected for SEA2P billets should expect to receive permanent change of station (PCS) orders with a transfer date as early as 30-45 days after selection. 3. Timeline: a. 31 Aug 22: Deadline to submit Enlisted Personnel Action Request (NAVPERS 1306/7) requests. b. 12-16 Sep 22: Selection board. c. 26-30 Sep 22: Results posted via NAVPERS 1306/7 approval/MyNavy assignments (MNA) for selections. d. 3 Oct 22: SEA2P Sailors receive hard copy orders. e. 30 Sep 22: Second round of job listings will be announced. f. 17 Oct 22: Deadline to submit NAVPERS 1306/7 requests for second round. g. 31 Oct-4 Nov 22: Second selection board. h. 14-18 Nov 22: Results posted via NAVPERS 1306/7 approval/MNA for selections. i. 21 Nov 22: Second round SEA2P Sailors receive hard copy orders. 4.

High year tenure (HYT) gates will be suspended during the application phase and HYT waivers will be automatically approved for the duration of PCS orders for those Sailors selected for SEA2P. Sea shore flow policy guidelines are lifted during the period of the Sailors PCS orders. b. Applicants must have been selected or screened as a non-select by the FY-23 advancement selection boards or be advancement-eligible for the FY-24 advancement selection boards. This pilot program is open to Active Component Sailors only and does not apply to nuclear and special warfare community Sailors. It is the responsibility of the member and their command to verify eligibility. If selected for both SEA2P and advancement via a FY-23 selection board, Sailors will advance by whichever method (SEA2P or normal advancement increment) occurs first. c. SEA2P applicants must sign (with witness), an administrative remarks (NAVPERS 1070/613) (permanent) in line with reference (g). Ensure the following statement is included: *I understand that by submitting an application for consideration for Senior Enlisted Advancement-to-Position, I am certifying that I am assignable to any billets for which I applied and will execute orders to those billets when directed.* d.

REF D IS THE ASN(M and RA) MEMORANDUM, DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY TO ADMINISTER COMMANDING OFFICER SPECIAL MISSION RETENTION BONUS. RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN cancels reference (a) and provides guidance for the submarine commanding officer special mission retention bonus (COSM RB). The COSM RB is authorized by references (b) through (d). Effective immediately, the COSM RB program replaces the commanding officer submarine support retention bonus (COSS RB) program. Existing COSS RB contracts will be honored. 2. COSM RB will be a written agreement, conditional upon acceptance by Navy Personnel Command, Submarine and Nuclear Officer Distribution (PERS-42) to remain on Active Duty as an officer for a period of three, four, or five years beyond the date of acceptance. The COSM RB will provided 20,000 dollar annual payments. 3. Officers applying for COSM RB must: a. Be on Active Duty and entitled to receive basic pay. b. Have completed at least 19 years of Active Duty Commissioned Service (ADCS) and not more than 25 years of ADCS at the start of the period of additional obligated service. c. Not extend obligated service beyond 28 years of commissioned service (YCS). d. Possess the 1120 designator and be previously nuclear trained as an officer. e. Be serving in paygrades O-5 or O-6 (not eligible until the date of promotion to O-5). f. Have served or be serving in a billet designated as COSM. g. Not have a pending or approved resignation or retirement request, lateral transfer request, or application to programs which will result in a change of designator, such as the permanent military professor (PMP) program. h. Be medically qualified for assignment to submarine community cognizant billets (1120 and 1000/1050 coded) worldwide. i. Not have investigations, punitive administrative actions, detachment for cause proceedings, or legal actions in progress or completed. j. Not be eligible for a continuation bonus under nuclear officer incentive pay. k. Not have lost nuclear additional qualification designator due to refusal of any nuclear assignment (including submarine commanding officer). l. Not be under any education or training associated service obligation except as authorized by reference (c). Officers within one year of completion of an existing obligation may apply for COSM RB to begin at the end of their current obligation. 4. Upon acceptance of a COSM RB application, officers will incur a three, four, or five-year service obligation. The COSM RB will be paid in equal annual installments at the start of each year covered by the agreement. a. The service obligation for officers whose applications are accepted by PERS-42 prior to the end of their existing service obligation will run from the expiration of their existing service obligation. Annual installments will begin upon the expiration of their existing service obligation. b. The service obligation for officers whose applications are accepted by PERS-42 after the expiration of any existing service obligation will run from the date of acceptance by PERS-42. Annual installments will begin upon the date of acceptance by PERS-42. c. There is no provision for a lump sum payment. d. In no case will an officer receive more than 300,000 dollars in payments authorized by reference (c) in their officer career. 5. Eligible officers who sign up for a COSM RB contract may renegotiate a new COSM RB contract at the same rate on the upcoming anniversary date of their current contract or to align their anniversary date with their commissioning date, as long as the period of the new contract will be equal to or exceed the remaining period of the officers existing contract, and does not extend beyond 28 YCS. Upon acceptance of a new COSM RB contract, the existing COSM RB contract will be cancelled, effective on the day before the next anniversary date. 6. Assignment. Officers who receive a COSM RB will be assigned according to the needs of the submarine force (for officers of their qualification and experience) without affecting their eligibility for receipt of this special pay. 7. Recoupment. Repayment guidance will be in line with reference (b), Section 373, DoD FMR, Volume 7a, Chapter 2, and the following program specific guidance: a. In the event an officer who has received a COSM RB fails to maintain eligibility as set forth in paragraph 3 or fails to complete the total period of Active Duty specified in the agreement, no further annual payments will be made, and recoupment of unearned portions of the COSM RB will be required on a pro-rata basis. Examples of such situations requiring recoupment are: (1) Approved request for voluntary release from the written agreement if, due to unusual circumstances, it is determined by PERS-42 that such release would be clearly in the best interests of both the U.S. Navy and the officer concerned. (2) Approved voluntary request for relief from the current assignment. (3) Refusal to accept orders. (4) Disability or death resulting from misconduct or willful neglect, or incurred during a period of unauthorized absence. (5) Misconduct. (6) Approved detachment for cause. (7) Promotion to pay grade O-7 . (8) Selection for lateral transfer into another community, including the PMP program. b. If, for any of the following reasons, the officer fails to maintain eligibility for the COSM RB, as set forth in paragraph 3, or fails to complete the full period of additional obligated service, no further payments will be made, and recoupment of unearned portions of the incentive already made will not be required. (1) Separation from the naval service by operation of laws independent of misconduct. (2) Where PERS-42, hereby delegated wavering authority, determines that waiving the requirement to recoup payments is clearly in the best interest of the United States. (3) Separation from the naval service under a hardship separation or sole survivorship discharge as defined under section 373(b)(3)(b) of reference (b). c. If, for any of the following reasons, the officer fails to maintain eligibility for the COSM RB as set forth in paragraph 3, recoupment of the unearned portions of incentive will not be sought, and any remaining unpaid portions of COSM RB due the member shall be paid. (1) Death. In the event an officer serving under a COSM RB contract dies (not as the result of misconduct or willful neglect) before receiving the full amount of the bonus due, the remaining unpaid installments are payable as a lump sum for inclusion in the settlement of the deceased officers final military pay account. (2) Disability. In the event of an injury or illness that results in the member being separated or retired for a disability incurred in the line of duty in a combat zone designated by the President of the United States or the Secretary of Defense, in a combat-related operation designated by the Secretary of Defense, or involves a combat-related disability as defined section 1413A(E) of title 10, U.S. Code, and is not the result of misconduct or willful neglect. 8. Submission of applications. Eligible officers may submit applications to PERS-42. A sample of this application may be found on the PERS-42 website https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career- Management/Detailing/Officer/Pers-42-Submarine/. 9.

JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii—Docked by the sunken wreckage of a 1909 dreadnought, two unusual vessels are helping the U.S. Navy navigate its way toward its future. The unmanned Nomad and Ranger, which resemble seagoing flatbed trucks loaded with conex containers, represented the debut of uncrewed surface vessels at the giant biannual Rim of the Pacific exercise. RIMPAC’s experimentation allows the Navy to test out and learn from the AI capabilities in its unmanned platforms, Adm. Mike Gilday, chief of naval operations, told Defense One last month.

The wife of a U.S. Navy lieutenant who has been sentenced to three years in a Japanese prison after he was involved in a traffic accident that killed two people said she is doing everything she can to reunite her children with their father. “This is really about my kids, while it is hard for us, the ones really paying the price for this and for the alliance and politics are my kids,” Brittany Alkonis, wife of Navy Lt. Ridge Alkonis, told Fox News Digital. “They are young and in the formative years of their life. They need a father.”

The U.S. Navy identified the Sailor assigned to USS Arleigh Burke (DDG 51) lost overboard while operating in the Baltic Sea August 1, as North Carolina native Seaman Recruit David L. Spearman. Spearman reported to Arleigh Burke in April following training at Surface Warfare Engineering School Command, Great Lakes, Ill. “This bright, young man made an oversized positive impact on Arleigh Burke. My entire crew’s thoughts and prayers are with Seaman Recruit Spearman’s family and friends. We offer our most sincere condolences for their loss,” said Cmdr. Pete Flynn, commanding officer, USS Arleigh Burke. “Thank you to the Swedish and German navies, the U.S. Air Force, and the Sailors from Arleigh Burke for their extensive efforts to search for our shipmate.”

The Navy will now have doses of the Novavax vaccine available for sailors. Novavax is the latest company to receive emergency use authorization from the FDA for its vaccine to prevent COVID-19 now an option for active duty troops, who have not yet gotten vaccinated. Unlike the vaccines produced by Pfizer or Moderna, which use mRNA, the Novavax shot uses a SARS-CoV-2 recombinant spike protein to produce an autoimmune reaction in order to protect against further infection. The Novavax shot is more traditional and similar to other vaccines against disease like tetanus or HPV.

WASHINGTON — The Senate on Tuesday passed legislation expanding lifesaving health care benefits for Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans exposed to toxic burn pits. The 86-11 vote came after Republicans agreed to lift their blockade of the popular bill, caving to pressure from more than 60 veterans groups — and comedian Jon Stewart — who had railed against Republicans for days outside the Capitol.

Master Chief, Senior Chief and Chief petty officers may soon find themselves realigning to assignments better matched to their paygrade, according to a recent Navy message. NAVADMIN 156/22 announced the evaluation of all E7, E8 and E9s who are assigned in excess of the billet paygrade (E9 in an E8 billet, etc.), and Navy Personnel Command (NPC) has already hosted the first of two virtual Senior Enlisted Manning Summits in Millington. The E8 and E9 summit was held July 25-29, and the E7 summit is scheduled for Oct. 24-28 (contingent on the release of selection board results). The movement of realigned personnel will begin approximately 30 days after each summit concludes. “Our previous enlisted manning summits were a great success,” said Navy Personnel Command Force Master Chief Chris Detje. “We’re continuing to place an emphasis on operational readiness and prioritize those units that reflect our identity as a sea service, as well as billets overseas.” The summits allow Fleet Readiness Integrators (FRI), Type Commanders (TYCOM), and Budget Submitting Offices (BSO), to work with NPC to fill their highest priority gapped billets. NPC will identify those misaligned senior enlisted Sailors and provide that list to FRIs. The FRIs will distribute the list to the TYCOM and BSO personnel staffs. These manning stakeholders then must review the misaligned personnel and fleet vacancies to provide recommendations at the manning summit. “Fleet readiness remains our number one priority, but each move will be considered on a case-by-case basis,” said Detje. For more details or to register for the manning summit, read NAVADMIN 156/22

Fall E-4 to E-6 Meritorious Advancement Program Season Announced Commands will be able to meritoriously advance Sailors this fall between Sept. 1 and Oct. 15 as the Navy announced 2022's Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP) season two in NAVADMIN 174/22, Aug. 2. The intent of MAP is to select the most qualified Sailors to advance to the next paygrade outside of the advancement cycles. Deckplate leaders observing Sailors daily know them best. Through MAP, the Navy gives those leaders a voice in the advancement process by allowing commands to move up their most deserving Sailors twice each year ahead of the Navy's semi-annual advancement cycles. "The two-season framework aligns MAP with the NWAE to ensure any unused MAP quotas are included in the NWAE cycle, and to emphasize the intent of MAP to select and reward top performing Sailors," Rear Admiral James Waters wrote in the message. “MAP will account for approximately 20 percent of total advancements during CY22, with roughly half of the available MAP quotas allocated for each of two MAP seasons.” For perspective, that's up from 2.5 percent of total advancements in the old Command Advancement Program (CAP), before it was transitioned to MAP during the summer of 2015. Requesting quotas for the controlled rates is outlined within the NAVADMIN. Unused MAP quotas will then factor into those available for the fall NWAE cycle. Ahead of the application window, the Navy will release this season's quotas by unit identification code in the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) on Aug. 25. To prevent over-manning, MAP advancement to the AO3 and RS3 rates will be controlled. Meritorious advancements in these rates are still possible, but approval is through a separate process. MAP advancements will no longer be authorized to the active component rates of ABH2, ABF2, GSM2 and CS2. Instead, these rates have new advancement opportunities available within the Detailing Marketplace Assignment Policy (DMAP) under the Command Advance to Position (CA2P) program. MAP Quotas by Unit Identification Code, along with example forms and frequently asked questions, are available on MyNavy Portal: https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion/a-enlisted-advancement-resources-and-links. Once on the site, select the "Websites" tab in the blue banner and then select the MAP homepage. The preferred way for commands to request all MAP advancements is through NSIPS. Those without access to NSIPS must submit their Meritorious Certification Letters (MCLs) by e-mail through their chain of command within the same time frames. One reminder for commands is that Sailors being meritoriously advanced must have completed their required Professional Military Knowledge Eligibility Examination (PMK-EE) before the first day of the MAP season. Complete details and points of contact are available in the NAVADMIN.

This NAVADMIN replaces reference (a) and announces the policy and guidance for Calendar Year (CY) 2022 Season Two Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP) for Active-Duty (Active Component and Training and Administration of the Reserve (TAR)) Sailors. MAP season two will run from 1 September through 15 October 2022. This season will feature an additional preseason window for commands to verify user hierarchies and unit identification code (UIC) assignments ahead of the season. The timeline in paragraph 3 contains additional details. 2. MAP will account for approximately 20 percent of total advancements during CY22, with roughly half of the available MAP quotas allocated for each of two MAP seasons during the year. The two-season framework aligns MAP with the Navy wide advancement exam (NWAE) to ensure any unused MAP quotas are included in the NWAE cycle and to emphasize the intent of MAP to select and reward top performing Sailors. To meet required time in rate (TIR) for MAP advancement eligibility, Sailors must have a date of rank no later than the following: a. E-5: 1 January 2021. b. E-5 (Nuclear-Trained Sailors): 1 January 2020. c. E-4 and below: No TIR requirement. 3. Timeline: a. MAP Pre-season: 15-24 August 2022. b. MAP Quotas Uploaded: 30 August 2022. c. CY22 MAP Season 2: 1 September-15 October 2022. 4. In order to control over advancing particular rate-paygrade combinations and maintain rating health, MAP advancement to AO3 and RS3 for Active-Duty Sailors remains controlled as outlined in paragraph 7. 5. In line with reference (b), MAP advancement to ABH2, ABF2, GSM2, and CS2 for Active Component Sailors is not authorized due to new advancement opportunities available within the detailing marketplace assignment policy (DMAP) for those rates. Visit MyNavy HR DMAP website, located at https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Detailing/Enlisted/Detailing-Marketplace/, for more information. 6. Commands are required to have two Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) MAP user roles (command reviewer and command reporting senior) in order to submit MAP advancement(s), exception(s) to policy (ETP) and additional MAP quota requests through NSIPS. NSIPS web afloat users and commands without access to NSIPS should refer to paragraph 6a for instructions on submitting their MAP advancements. The system will use authoritative data to determine eligibility, however, commands are still required to locally validate MAP candidates have successfully completed the professional military knowledge eligibility examination requirement prior to the first day of the MAP season (1 September 2022), as outlined in reference (c). For training on user roles, log into NSIPS via https://www.nsips.navy.mil/ and click on training tab, then click MAP tutorial. a. NSIPS web afloat users and commands without access to NSIPS must submit a MAP nomination request via e-mail directly to their immediate superior in command (ISIC), type commander (TYCOM) or budget submitting office (BSO)/echelon II command using the meritorious certification letter (MCL). The letter must be signed by the commanding officer and should address any ETP and/or additional quotas requested. Sample MCLs and detailed information regarding the offline process can be found via MyNavy Portal (MNP) at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion/a-enlisted-advancement-resources-and-links, then select the *Websites* tab in the blue banner and then select the MAP homepage. b. Quota usage, modifications and distribution will be managed within the NSIPS environment. BSO and command quotas will be uploaded into NSIPS on 30 August 2022 and can be found under the quota summary report tab. Quotas can also be found via MNP at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion/a-enlisted-advancement-resources-and-links, then select the *Websites* tab in the blue banner and then select the MAP homepage. c. Additional quotas can be requested using the quota request option by the command reviewer user role. Commands must contact their BSO to determine timeline for additional quota requests. Whether or not command quotas are authorized, all commands have the opportunity to request quotas from their BSO/echelon II command, via their ISIC and TYCOM, unless the rating is not authorized for MAP in line with paragraph 5 above. d. NSIPS will automatically determine if an ETP is required using predetermined criteria. Service Members in ratings requiring security clearances and rates/pay grades requiring time in rate TIR waivers will be automatically routed for adjudication. The request will be routed through the ISIC, TYCOM, and BSO/echelon II command using a hierarchical workflow. e. NSIPS will not automatically generate an ETP for nuclear trained service Members. Commands desiring to advance a nuclear trained service Member not meeting the TIR requirement must request an ETP to Director, Military Personnel Plans and Policy (OPNAV N13) via the Nuclear Program Manager (OPNAV N133). 7. MAP Advancements in Controlled Rates. Commands desiring to MAP a Sailor to AO3 or RS3 must submit a request to their BSO, via their ISIC and TYCOM, using the quota request option in NSIPS. If the command does not have access to NSIPS, they should follow the procedures in paragraph 6a. BSOs will be granted MAP quotas for each rate based on the proportion of the billets authorized (BA) at the lower paygrade of that rate under that BSO. If there are not enough quotas for all BSOs with BA for the lower paygrade, the quotas will be allocated to the BSOs with the largest amount of BA for the lower paygrade. BSOs will be contacted by BUPERS-32 to inform them of how many of their assigned quotas may be used for the specified rates. Commands will submit requests to the BSOs using the template provided on the MAP homepage via MNP at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion/a-enlisted-advancement-resources-and-links, then select the *Websites* tab in the blue banner and then select the MAP homepage. 8.

Battleships are back! In little more than five months, the shape of America’s future Navy fleet changed. Between February and July, U.S. Navy leadership went from advocating for a modest fleet of 60 cruisers and destroyers to supporting a more robust vision of 96 large surface combatants by 2045. Nobody really knows what, exactly, pushed the Navy to favoring large combatants—a rating traditionally comprised of high-value cruisers and destroyers. Neither the U.S. Department of Defense, the Secretary of the Navy, nor America’s Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Mike Gilday, has offered taxpayers any real detail on what spurred the Navy, after years of fretting over the relevance of large surface combatants, to redirect at least $70 billion in future funding towards building bigger ships.

Three U.S. capital ships and their escorts are operating in the Western Pacific near Taiwan, USNI News has learned. Aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76) and big deck amphibious ships USS America (LHA-6) and USS Tripoli (LHA-7), with Marine F-35B Lighting II Joint Strike Fighters embarked, are operating in the vicinity of Taiwan, on the edge of the South China Sea ahead of a Western Pacific visit from U.S. House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to the region, according to the Aug. 1 edition of the USNI News Fleet and Marine Tracker.

Signaling the end of a 21-year era, the Department of Defense has told the military services to sharply restrict the award of the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal beginning Sept. 11, according to a memo obtained by Military Times. The June 24 memo, signed by the DoD’s undersecretary for personnel and readiness, Gilbert Cisneros, also limits award of the Inherent Resolve Campaign Medal to just troops who serve on the ground in Syria or operate within 12 nautical miles of its coast or airspace. The policy went into effect July 1.

Navy Updates Advancement-to-Position Program From MC1 Mark D. Faram, Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs The Navy has expanded advancement opportunities for active component Sailors with an update to its Advance-to-Position (A2P) Program, announced in NAVADMIN 172/22, July 28. This modification now incorporates active component E-4 and E-5 Sailors who are in their detailing window and allows them to apply for E-5 and E-6 jobs respectively. This guidance does not apply to ratings participating in DMAP. First introduced in 2019, the Navy’s family of “Advancement-to-Position” initiatives has steadily expanded into an alternate advancement path up the petty officer ranks alongside the Navywide Advancement Exam (NWAE) and the Meritorious Advancement Programs (MAP). Sailors selected for an A2P position can be frocked to their new paygrade after receiving their orders. For all A2P Sailors, the advancement becomes permanent upon checking in to their new command, after completing any required training. Sailors selected for A2P jobs remain eligible to advance through the Navy’s other methods such as MAP and NWAE and could advance sooner if selected. To be eligible for A2P, Sailors must have passed the most recent advancement exam, completed their Professional Military Knowledge Eligibility Exam and be eligible for advancement to the next higher paygrade. Sailors looking to take advantage of A2P can apply to sea duty jobs, regardless of sea/shore flow considerations. Sailors should contact their rating detailer if they have any questions regarding qualifications needed to fill a specific A2P job. Eligible Sailors looking to apply for A2P jobs will find them under the “Advance to Position” category in MyNavy Assignment (MNA). Sailors will apply in the same way they would for standard cycle applications. Selection for the job comes through a competitive rack and stack of applicants utilizing a Sailor Scoring Criteria. A sample of the Sailor Scoring Criteria is available here: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Detailing/Enlisted/Detailing-Marketplace/ Also coming into play is whether they already have the needed critical skills or are eligible to obtain them.

Here's an update to the quotas

This include the % and a comparison to cycle 250
