The director of the FBI and head of the United Kingdom’s domestic intelligence arm warned China’s continued “planned professional activity” of worldwide espionage poses an increasing danger to their countries’ national security, technological developments in aerospace and communications and long-term economic well-being. “We consistently see that it’s the Chinese government that poses the biggest long-term threat to our economic and national security,” said FBI Director Christopher Wray at a joint appearance Wednesday in MI5’s London headquarters.” ”By ‘our,’ I mean both of our nations, along with our allies in Europe and elsewhere.”

SAN DIEGO – Officials with the United States Navy are investigating after discovering a sailor aboard the USS Carl Vinson dead. According to LCDR Christina M. Gibson, a sailor aboard the San Diego stationed ship was found unresponsive Saturday morning while at the Naval Air Station on North Island.

A Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet jet “blew overboard” and off the deployed aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman Friday due to intense winds and heavy rain in the Mediterranean Sea, officials said Sunday. The incident happened while the carrier was conducting an at-sea replenishment.

Chief petty officers, the seasoned leaders tasked with leading enlisted members in the Navy, have impressive power. Often operating as a kind of back channel between commands with chiefs quietly working together, they're known to cut through red tape to get things done. That authority, that power, built on the bond of rank across the fleet, is the backbone of the service. But just as easily as they can solve problems, chief petty officers can hurt and drive sailors to the brink.

The commanding officer of USS Scranton (SSN 756), Cmdr. Seth Rumler, was relieved of command July 6 by Rear Adm. Rick Seif, Commander, Submarine Group 7, due to loss of confidence in his ability to command. Cmdr. Michael McGuire, deputy commodore of Commander, Submarine Squadron 15, has assumed duties as interim commanding officer. Navy commanding officers are held to high standards of personal and professional conduct. They are expected to uphold the highest standards of responsibility, reliability and leadership, and the Navy holds them accountable when they fall short of those standards.

This naval message provides information and updates on the Navys participation in the Defense Attache Service (DAS) for Navy personnel. 2. The Navy looks to its most qualified and capable officers and enlisted personnel to fill demanding and rewarding positions as Senior Defense Officials/Defense Attaches, Naval Attaches, Assistant Naval Attaches, Operations Coordinators and Operations Assistants in exotic and unique locations. They will serve as a part of the U.S. Defense Attache Office team, based at U.S. Embassies in 78 countries. All candidates are trained at the Defense Intelligence Agency’s (DIA) 13-week Joint Military Attache School, and depending on their assigned country, extensive language training may be provided prior to arriving on station. Naval Attaches are the voice of the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) and Chief of Naval Operations, articulating policies as well as Navy strategy to a host nation. Naval Attaches observe and report information to reduce strategic surprise, and call attention to issues that will affect U.S. interests in time for decision makers to act. Naval Attaches have provided observations that have been briefed at the highest levels of government. Our Naval Attaches build strong, lasting relationships with partners who share a common vision of maritime security. As part of the U.S. Embassy country team and in support of the Ambassadors objectives, Naval Attaches play a critical role in enhancing relationships in host nations which are not traditional or long- time partners. 3. SECNAV considers the Navy’s contribution to the DAS as one of his most critical responsibilities, as expanded upon in references (a) and (b). For Naval Attaches, SECNAV is the final approval authority for officers nominated to serve in the DAS under DIA. The Director of Naval Intelligence manages the day-to-day operation of the Navy Attache Program as detailed in reference (c). 4. For those who meet the selection criteria of reference (d), service in the DAS offers unique opportunities for the best and most highly qualified Navy personnel. Through a robust, competitive selection and training process, service members and their families will ultimately be posted at U.S. Embassies around the world in one of more than 150 DAS positions. a. Over the next year, Navy Attache Affairs will screen for attache positions in: Albania, Australia, Azerbaijan, Brazil, Bulgaria, Burma, Cameroon, Chile, China, Djibouti, Ecuador, Egypt, Fiji, France, Germany, Greece, Honduras, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Madagascar, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Panama, Philippines, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, Ukraine, and United Kingdom. b. In addition, exceptional Limited Duty Officer/Chief Warrant Officer and enlisted personnel will be able to screen as Operations Coordinators (OPSCO) and Operations Assistants (OPSAsst) positions in: Australia, China, Djibouti, Egypt, Iraq, Malaysia, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, United Kingdom, Uruguay, and Vietnam. 5. To demonstrate the importance SECNAV places on duty at DAOs, as discussed in reference (a), procedures are in place at Navy Personnel Command (NPC) to expand the eligibility for DAS assignments. Active promotion and advertising of the program has been implemented and NPC is working to further incentivize and reward DAS service through statutory promotion board precepts. Additionally, these tours frequently offer language training, Foreign Language Proficiency Pay, and Special Duty Assignment Pay for enlisted personnel. 6.

(Tribune News Service) — San Diego Navy officials are scrambling to alleviate the shortfall of child care providers for the more than 4,000 military children waiting for spots in its base day care centers, according to Navy Region Southwest officials. Staffing shortages brought on by the pandemic have impacted a military child care system that was already strained before COVID-19 hit, according to Janet Hooten, the child and youth program manager at Navy Region Southwest in San Diego.

The USS Connecticut (SSN 22)is the second of three nuclear-powered attack Seawolf-class submarines in the U.S. Navy and that makes this submarine class extremely rare and valuable as the Seawolf-class has more displacement and double the number of torpedo tubes (eight vs. four) than the newer Virginia-class nuclear attack submarines. The USS Jimmy Carter (SSN 23) has a 100-foot (30 meter) Multi-Mission Platform hull insert to allow it to conduct special operations missions and is the only one of its kind in the Seawolf-class and in the U.S. Navy submarine fleet. Naval News inquired about SSN 22’s damage sustained, the estimated cost of repairs, the estimated time to fully repair, the number of contractors involved, and if any other upgrades will be performed on SSN 22 in dry dock.

WASHINGTON — The initial response to the July 2020 fire that destroyed the multibillion-dollar amphibious assault ship Bonhomme Richard was uncoordinated and hampered by confusion as to which admiral should cobble together Navy and civilian firefighters, according to new information from the then-head of Naval Surface Forces. The discombobulation in those early hours meant sailors may have missed a small window to contain the fire in a storage area. One admiral who said he lacked authority to issue an order pleaded with the ship’s commanding officer to get back on the ship and fight the fire, when the CO and his crew were waiting on the pier. And when that admiral — now-retired Vice Adm. Rich Brown — found the situation so dire that he called on other another command to intervene, it refused, Brown said in an interview.

YOKOSUKA NAVAL BASE, Japan — Reports of an “unusual foam” led to the discovery in May of two toxins at a wastewater treatment facility on the base, Naval Forces Japan said Tuesday. Wastewater treatment plant officials notified the base on May 4 they had discovered the foam, and subsequent testing May 9 confirmed the presence of the chemicals PFOS and PFOA, Naval Forces Japan spokeswoman Cmdr. Katie Cerezo told Stars and Stripes by email Tuesday.

The Department of the Navy implemented a Safe-to-Report Policy for victims of sexual assault on June 29, eliminating a critical barrier to service member reporting of sexual assault. Effective immediately, a sailor, Marine, cadet or midshipman who makes an unrestricted report of sexual assault through the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office or the Family Advocacy Program will not be disciplined for minor collateral misconduct. “Choosing to report a sexual assault is already a major decision for a survivor,” said Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro. “It is a first step to accessing the services they need and the justice they deserve. Removing this barrier empowers victims and survivors — they should not have to choose whether to implicate themselves by reporting a crime committed against them.” “Collateral misconduct” refers to victim misconduct associated with the time, place or circumstance surrounding a sexual assault and is often discovered as a result of the report, investigation or prosecution of the sexual assault. Examples include: Underage drinking at or near the time of the sexual assault; An unprofessional relationship with the accused, i.e., a relationship that violated law, regulation, policy or custom, at the time of the sexual assault; and A violation of lawful orders establishing curfews, off-limit locations, school standards, barracks/dormitory/berthing policies, or similar matters at the time of the sexual assault. Prior to implementation, there was no policy to protect victims from disciplinary action associated with their own misconduct in connection to an alleged assault. As a result, victims may have had to choose whether to implicate themselves for misconduct by reporting an assault. “Collateral misconduct by the victim of a sexual assault is one of the most significant barriers to reporting because of the victim’s fear of punishment,” said Andrea Goldstein, assistant director, DON Force Resiliency. “We’re committed to removing barriers to reporting, restoring victim’s trust, and improving victim care.” Under the new policy, commanding officers, in consultation with their servicing staff judge advocate, must assess whether misconduct was collateral to a report of sexual assault and if mitigating and aggravating circumstances exist. If after considering the circumstances, they determine that the collateral misconduct is minor, the victim shall not be disciplined. The commanding officer may however, take non-disciplinary administrative action such as referral to substance abuse treatment. The policy also requires data collection for the Department to understand how frequently these protections are being utilized and under what circumstances.

REF D IS MEMORANDUM, FROM CHIEF OF NAVY TO COMMANDER, NAVY RESERVE FORCE, DELEGATING THE AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE THE RESERVE COMPONENT MATERNITY LEAVE POLICY. RMKS/1. Purpose. This All Navy Reserve Force (ALNAVRESFOR) provides supplemental execution guidance in accordance with References (a) through (d) regarding the Reserve Component Maternity Leave (RCML) Program. Section 602 of Public Law 116-283, also known as the "William M. ("Mac") Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021" authorized RCML. 1.A. Reference(a) describes the implementation of the RCML program for Selected Reservists (SELRES) who experience a Qualifying Birth Event (QBE), including policies and procedures detailing the roles and responsibilities, applicability, eligibility, and parameters of the program. All Ready Reserve members should read and be familiar with reference (a), as it describes the specific details for eligibility and use of RCML, but this ALNAVRESFOR focuses upon guidance for eligible SELRES members. 2. RCML Execution. The intent of the RCML program is to afford maximum scheduling flexibility to eligible SELRES after a QBE. The process delineated below is a temporary solution until Defense Finance Accounting Service (DFAS) and Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) develop a permanent pay system process for RCML. Due to evolving policy and developing pay system updates, current policy and procedures are available in the RCML folder on the Commander, Navy Reserve Forces Command (COMNAVRESFORCOM) Reserve Pay, Incentives and Force Retention (N111) SharePoint site, https://private.navyreserve.navy.mil/cnrfc/N-Codes/N1/CNRFC_N11/ SitePages/Home.aspx, under the "Tools for Success" section. a. Navy Reserve Additional Policy. (1) RCML effective date is 9 June 2022. Reference (a) prohibits retroactive requests for QBEs on 8 June 2022 or earlier. (2) Eligible SELRES must be in a paid reserve billet and have a Duty Status Code (DSC) 200. (3) Eligible SELRES are authorized six days of RCML. (4) A maximum of 12 regular Inactive Duty Training (IDT) periods shall be utilized to meet the authorized six days of RCML. (5) Two consecutive, regular IDT periods shall be scheduled for the same day to execute one RCML day. The splitting of two regular IDTs over two calendar days to equal one day of RCML is not authorized. (6) RCML periods shall coincide with previously scheduled IDTs. (7) NSIPS Enhancement for Drill Management (EDM) will be the authoritative system for RCML execution. (8) Per reference (a), Training Unit Identification Code (TRUIC) Commanding Officers (COs) will approve all dates requested within three months after the QBE. Outside of three months, TRUIC COs will make every effort to accommodate requests within administrative and operational requirements. If RCML is denied outside of three months, TRUIC COs will propose alternate dates within the one-year limiting date. (9) Additional IDTs (Additional Training Period, Additional Flight Training Period, and Reserve Management Period) are not authorized for use as RCML periods. (10) Although not required, to ease administrative burden after the QBE, eligible SELRES are encouraged to execute responsibilities specified in paragraph 2b prior to the QBE. Eligible SELRES retain the flexibility to change prescheduled RCML days after the QBE. In emergent situations when the eligible SELRES is unavailable, the Navy Reserve Activity (NRA) and TRUIC CO may coordinate to schedule the RCML drill dates. (11) SELRES utilizing RCML are entitled to inactive duty pay, retirement points, special or incentive pays and bonuses [as otherwise eligible], but RCML does not confer entitlement to any form of military pay, allowance or other benefit not expressly provided for by Section 602 of Public Law 116-283 and reference (a). b. Responsibilities. (1) SELRES will: (a) Review and be familiar with reference (a). (b) Route a NAVPERS 1336/3, "Special Request Authorization," via the NRA N9 Medical Department, to the TRUIC CO specifying requested RCML days.

(b) Adjudicate NAVPERS 1336/3, "Special Request Authorization." (c) Ensure member signs RCML NAVPERS 1070/613, "Administrative Remarks". (d) Sign the RCML NAVPERS 1070/613, "Administrative Remarks". (e) Coordinate any questions the Sailor may have with the NRA and higher echelons, as needed. (f) Deliver both signed documents to the NRA Manpower and Personnel (N1) department and coordinate EDM scheduling, if required. (g) Notify Unit Mobilization Unit Identification Code (UMUIC) CO of approved RCML drill periods for all non-locally assigned personnel. (h) Ensure RCML drill periods are scheduled prior to execution. (i) Ensure Unit Mustering Officials and Approvers are tracking RCML drill period execution. (j) Ensure RCML drill periods are promptly mustered as "Present" and adjudicated as "Satisfactory" for drill payment and retirement point issuance.
