A nurse accused of hitting and killing a U.S. Navy chief petty officer with his car after a dispute at a Virginia Beach bar in July was indicted this month on new charges. Joshua Ceruti Robinson was initially charged with malicious wounding, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, after police said he hit 40-year-old Stephen “Tyler” Murphy with his car. A grand jury indicted him on one count each of involuntary manslaughter and hit-and-run, which both carry maximum sentences of 10 years, according to Macie Allen, a spokesperson for the Virginia Beach commonwealth’s attorney.

On the day that Airman Apprentice Antonio D. Miller ditched his Navy unit and deserted from the Navy, “Night Fever” by the Bee Gees was the number one song in America, Jimmy Carter was president and junior enlisted sailors couldn’t even begin to explain the meaning of #FYP. But desert Miller did, on April 14, 1978, giving the slip to his Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia, command and remaining on the lam until May of last year, when the long arm of Navy law finally caught up with him, more than 44 years later.

January 24, 2023 UPDATED PHYSICAL READINESS PROGRAM GUIDES FOR 2023 With the release of OPNAVINST 6110.1K (22 April 2022) and the incorporation of previously released Physical Readiness Program (PRP) NAVADMINS, along with feedback from the Fleet, we have condensed the PRP Guides from 15 to 11. CFL/ACFLs are highly encouraged to thoroughly review each PRP Guide in its entirety, as several guides have been updated to provide clarity to the Fleet. Although the guides are written primarily for CFL/ACFLs, all personnel may review the new PRP Guides to fully understand the policies of the Navy Physical Readiness Program. The new 11 guides are listed below and can be found under the Guides tab to the left: Guide 1: PRP Policies Guide 2: Command PRP Checklists Guide 3: CFL/ACFL and Member’s Responsibilities Guide 4: Body Composition Assessment (BCA) Guide 5: Physical Readiness Test (PRT) Guide 6: PFA Medical Readiness Guide 7: PRIMS-2 Guide 8: Managing PFA Records for Pregnant Sailors Guide 9: Command PT and FEP Guide 10: Nutrition Resources Guide 11: Conduct of the PFA in COVID-19 Conditions With the 2023 PFA cycle approaching, commands are encouraged to include PRP Policy training topics (Medical Waivers, BCA Measurements, mock/official PRT, etc.) within their training schedules and prior to conducting their Official Command PFA Cycle, as prescribed in their 10-week notice.

A U.S. Navy spokesperson tells PEOPLE marking a ship’s passage across the equator has been a tradition for centuries. But the ceremonies are now optional — and no longer look like this. There's a long-standing tradition among sailors on U.S. Navy ships when they cross the equator: Those onboard who've already experienced the passage, called shellbacks, perform an elaborate initiation of those who hadn't — the pollywogs.

REF B IS DoDI 6130.03, VOL. 2 ON MEDICAL STANDARDS FOR MILITARY SERVICE: RETENTION. REF C IS DoDI 6490.07 ON DEPLOYMENT-LIMITING MEDICAL CONDITIONS FOR SERVICE MEMBERS AND DOD CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES. RMKS/1. The purpose of this Navy Administrative (NAVADMIN) message is to communicate required contents and routing procedures for Medical Retention Reviews (MRR) for Navy selected Reserve members, as required by references (a) and (b). This communication is in advance of an update to the NAVMED P-117, Chapter 15, Article 23. 2. Echelon 5 medical departments will initiate an MRR if they determine that a Navy Reserve member has a service-limiting condition, which was not incurred on Active orders, does not improve within the period of Temporarily Not Physically Qualified (TNPQ), and the condition meets at least one of the following: a. Does not meet published retention standards in reference (b) and any future published Navy and Marine Corps-specific retention standards. b.Makes Reserve member incapable of serving on a large deck surface ship with the medical support of a senior medical officer; c.Requires a waiver to deploy per reference (c); or d.Makes Reserve member incapable of working in an operational setting for at least six months without access to specialty medical care. e.If it is unclear whether a Navy MRR submission is necessary and consistent with applicable guidance, the echelon 5 medical representative must discuss with the next higher echelon. MRR submissions are often unnecessary for conditions that meet published medical retention standards and do not interfere with drilling or mobilization. Medical representatives will consider both medical standards and the members ability to satisfactorily perform appropriate military duties commensurate with the members office, grade, rank, or rate. A condition that does not necessitate an MRR, or which has been determined physically qualified (PQ) during an MRR, might still require an area of responsibility waiver if the Reserve member is mobilizing to a more restrictive theater. 3. The Navy MRR package will be sent, via appropriate chain of command, to the echelon 4 Medical Director for submission. 4. The echelon 4 Medical Director will review Navy MRR packages and provide one of the following recommendations regarding qualification for retention: a.Physically qualified: For Navy Selected Reserve deemed PQ for retention, echelon 4 will provide documentation of PQ status and a Page 13 for entry into the members medical record. b.Physically qualified for retention but with potential Mobilization limitations: For Navy Selected Reserve deemed PQ but with potential Mobilization limitations, echelon 4 will submit determination to NAVPERSCOM (PERS-95) for message release. c.Not physically qualified (NPQ): All NPQ determinations by the echelon 4 Medical Director will be routed to BUMED-N34 to determine whether NPQ retention is recommended, or NPQ retention is not recommended, prior to sending to PERS. For NPQ determinations, when a recommendation can be made regarding retention in the Reserve Component, BUMED will send the recommendation to NAVPERSCOM (PERS-95) for adjudication and final action. d.If a recommendation cannot be made regarding retention (e.g., incomplete information, not enough time after treatment initiated to demonstrate stability or instability), the echelon 4 Medical Director or BUMED-N34 will request further information from the cognizant echelon 5 medical representative and the member via the members administrative chain of command. 5. Receipt of Veterans Affairs disability compensation for one or more service-connected conditions does not, in and of itself, render a Service member unfit for retention. Before initiating a Navy MRR, it is the responsibility of the echelon 4 and echelon 5 medical personnel to assess whether a Veteran Affair compensable condition will likely affect performance of duty, retention, or prevent the member from safely or effectively fulfilling duties during a mobilization or deployment commensurate with the members office, grade, rank, or rate. 6. Echelon 3 may develop standard operating procedures to assist echelon 5 medical representatives on identifying conditions that require a Navy MRR. 7. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery points of contact for procedural questions regarding this policy can be reached at usn.ncr.bumedfchva.list.m34@health.mil. This mailbox is not configured to receive email containing protected health information or personally identifiable information. 8.

Hody Childress was a farmer living off his meager retirement savings in the small town of Geraldine, Ala. About 10 years ago, he walked into Geraldine Drugs and pulled aside owner Brooke Walker to ask if there were families in town who couldn’t afford to pay for their medications. “I told him, ‘Yes, unfortunately that happens often,’” recalled Walker, 38. “And he handed me a $100 bill, all folded up.”

Per reference (a), this message announces the rescission of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination requirement for members of the Armed Forces. As a result, reference (b) is hereby canceled. 2. COVID-19 vaccines have proven to be safe, effective, and life-saving. I am confident that our high vaccination percentage across the Department of the Navy (DON) has both saved lives, and prevented hospitalizations across our entire force. 3. The Navy and Marine Corps are inherently expeditionary forces in readiness, and my expectation continues to be that all Sailors and Marines be worldwide deployable. To defend the nation, we need a healthy and ready force, this means a Navy and Marine Corps that is ready to deploy. Having credible, capable forces requires the DON to minimize addressable risks – contagious disease is a threat to our fighting forces. We will continue to consider medical readiness, of which vaccination plays a key role, in all appropriate settings. All commanders have the responsibility and authority to maintain military readiness, unit cohesion, good order and discipline, and the health and safety of their commands. 4. Because reference (b) is now canceled, the Services shall cease any ongoing reviews of current Service Members' religious, administrative, or medical accommodation requests solely for exemption from the COVID-19 vaccine or appeals of denials of such requests. No currently serving Sailor or Marine shall be separated solely on the basis of their failure to receive the COVID-19 vaccination if they sought an accommodation on religious, administrative, or medical grounds. 5. We will continue to promote and encourage the COVID-19 vaccination for everyone. As with all of our vaccinations, healthcare providers will continue to medically screen for contraindications.

The Navy may have the most complicated rank structure when it comes to its ratings system, but there is another, much more uncouth method for establishing hierarchy among sailors: Filthy coffee mugs.

The Navy removed the commanding officers of a guided-missile destroyer and an amphibious warship on Wednesday, the sea service announced Thursday. Both commanders were not accused of misconduct and were removed from command for performance issues, a Navy official told USNI News on Thursday. Capt. Michael Nordeen was removed as the commanding officer of amphibious warship USS Mesa Verde (LPD-19), by Expeditionary Strike Group 2 commander Rear. Adm. Tom Williams cited a lack of confidence in his ability to lead, according to a Navy release. Nordeen was reassigned to the staff of commander, Naval Force Atlantic. Nordeen assumed command of the Norfolk-based ship on Aug. 3, 2022, according to his Navy biography.
