ROUTINE R 011634Z JUN 22 MID200001761825U FM CNO WASHINGTON DC TO NAVADMIN INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC BT UNCLAS NAVADMIN 127/22 PASS TO OFFICE CODES: FM CNO WASHINGTON DC//N1// INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC//N1// MSGID/GENADMIN/CNO WASHINGTON DC/N1/JUN// SUBJ/DETAILING MARKETPLACE ASSIGNMENT POLICY PHASE I UPDATE// REF/A/MSG/CNO WASHINGTON DC/091538ZDEC21// REF/B/MSG/CNO WASHINGTON DC/230112ZAUG08// REF/C/MSG/CNO WASHINGTON DC/022009ZDEC19// NARR/REF A IS NAVADMIN 280/21, DETAILING MARKETPLACE ASSIGNMENT POLICY (DMAP). REF B IS NAVADMIN 234/08, SEA SHORE FLOW ENLISTED CAREER PATHS. REF C IS NAVADMIN 274/19, SEA SHORE FLOW ENLISTED CAREER PATHS UPDATE. RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN provides additional details and guidance regarding Detailing Marketplace Assignment Policy (DMAP) to ensure more Sailors and commands can benefit. a. In addition to afloat commands benefitting from experienced and motivated Sailors staying at sea, DMAP plank owners selected in the recent inaugural MyNavy Assignment (MNA) cycle will: (1) Receive an increase in pay through advancement from E4 to E5, if not already E5. (2) Collect a monthly monetary incentive, Detailing Marketplace Incentive Pay (DMIP), in addition to collecting sea pay and sea pay premium. (3) Remain in the same homeport on the ship or squadron where they trained as an Apprentice Sailor if selected for Command Advance to Position (CA2P). (4) Earn an advantage in MNA for a follow-on shore tour assignment after completing their journeyman (E5) sea tour. b. Sailors within the DMAP Phase I ratings (ABF, ABH, CS and GSM) should anticipate maximum flexibility in determining who meets the requirements of reference (a) and minimum friction in accepting a DMAP plus- three sea tour. The MyNavy HR team will interpret every requirement within all DMAP policy guidance to ensure the greatest possible participation. 2. Projected Rotation Date (PRD) Adjustments. Effective immediately, Enlisted Distribution Division (PERS-40) will adjust PRDs to a 48-month tour for all E5 and E5 eligible Sailors within the DMAP Phase I ratings who are serving in their initial Continental United States (CONUS) sea tour. This replaces paragraph 4.f of reference (a) and alleviates the administrative burden on activities by no longer requiring submission of Electronic Personnel Action Request (NAVPERS 1306/7) for DMAP Sailors. 3. PRD Assignments for New Accession Sailors. Effective immediately, all CONUS sea duty accession orders for Sailors in the DMAP Phase I ratings will be written for an initial 48-month sea tour. Sailors who do not qualify for a journeyman (E5) sea tour after serving 3 years on their first sea tour will have their PRDs adjusted to align with their soft end of active obligated service. This replaces paragraph 4.b in reference (a) and aligns with the DMAP four- plus-three construct. 4. CA2P. To nominate a Sailor for CA2P, activities must submit a member realignment request (MRR) in MNA prior to or within the first 3 weeks of the next MNA cycle (i.e., prior to the end of the upcoming MNA scrub phase). PERS-40 will validate that the activity has a current or projected E5 funded billet vacancy and then Sailors will be ranked based on their most recent E5 examination final multiple score. If DMAP quotas are available (see paragraph 6), Sailors will: a. Be approved for CA2P. b. Be realigned to a valid E5 billet. c. Have their PRD extended for a 3 year journeyman (E5) tour or a 7 year total initial sea tour (whichever is later). d. Be frocked to E5 upon completion of agreement to obligate additional service as described above. e. Be advanced to E5 upon completion of required training and placement into a valid E5 billet. (1) Commands can frock Sailors to E5 as soon as CA2P approval is received and the Sailor has obligated service through their extended PRD, either through reenlistment or extension of enlistment. (2) Sailors will advance to E5 and begin receiving E5 pay upon filling the E5 billet and will receive DMIP for the last three years on sea duty. Transaction support centers will effect advancement to E5 upon receiving the required key supporting documents. (3) Instructions on how to submit an MRR, as well as a general list of eligibility requirements, can be found on the Detailing Marketplace webpage of the MyNavy HR website at: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Detailing/Enlisted/Detailing- Marketplace/. (4) The full MNA schedule is available on the detailing marketplace webpage listed above. The first 3 weeks of the upcoming MNA cycles (i.e., the scrub phase) are provided below: 6 - 24 June 2022 8 - 28 August 2022 3 - 21 October 2022 5 - 22 December 2022 (5) MNA does not allow activities to submit an MRR for Sailors who are within their order negotiation window (i.e., within 12 months of their PRD). When operational requirements or PRD adjustments described in paragraph 2 above prevent MRR submissions prior to the order negotiation window, activities can submit CA2P nominations via email to DMAP.fct(at)navy.mil. If the request is approved, actions will be executed in alignment with paragraph 4. 5. Sailors on Second Sea Tour. E5 eligible Sailors (i.e., E4 Sailors who have passed the most recent E5 Navy wide advancement exam) and E5 Sailors in a DMAP Phase I rating who are on their second sea tour are eligible for DMAP incentives in return for a 3 year extension to the prescribed sea tour length listed in references (b) and (c). This provides additional advancement opportunities to E5 eligible Sailors prior to hitting E4 high year tenure. It also provides additional geographic stability options for Sailors desiring to remain in their current homeport. This is an expansion of eligibility described in paragraphs 1 and 4 of reference (a). 6. DMAP Quotas. The number of DMAP quotas available (i.e., the number of Sailors that can be on a plus-three sea tour) for each Phase I rating depends on the number of sea and shore duty billets the rating needs to fill. DMAP intends to fill sea duty billets that would remain unmanned under sea shore flow (SSF). MyNavy HR intends to phase in the number of Sailors on a plus- three journeyman (E5) sea tour across several years to ensure a smooth transition from SSF to DMAP, provide opportunity fairness and avoid a large movement of Sailors from sea to shore at the end of their plus-three journeyman (E5) sea tour. 7. Additional Considerations. DMAP represents a major paradigm shift in how the Navy mans the Fleet. As such, MyNavy HR intends to collect data and feedback to help inform future adjustments to DMAP. Sailor and command flexibility and feedback remain key enablers to ensuring success. To that end, the following considerations are provided: a. Tour Extensions. The transition from SSF to DMAP may require PERS-40 to extend Sailors in their current shore duty assignment to ensure proper manning of critical shore activities and to maximize the alignment between Sailor and billet rating and paygrade. b. C-School Quota Management. DMAP Sailors approved for CA2P or A2P who require training prior to filling a journeyman (E5) sea duty billet will be given priority placement in the appropriate C- school to the maximum extent practicable. c. Pulse Surveys. MyNavy HR intends to send pulse surveys to DMAP Phase I Sailors who negotiated for orders after each MNA cycle. This gives Sailors the opportunity to provide direct feedback that will be used in future policy development. d. Command Triad Feedback. Command triads are encouraged to provide feedback, lessons learned and suggested improvements through their immediate superior in command and type commanders. 8. Points of Contact a. For specific rate/rating/Navy enlisted classification questions and concerns, Sailors should contact their respective community manager or detailer. b. For general career information, including questions about DMIP, Advance to Position and CA2P, contact MyNavy Career Center contact center at 833-330-MNCC (6622) or askmncc(at)navy.mil. c. For DMAP questions, contact the MyNavy HR DMAP team at DMAP.fct(at)navy.mil. 9. This message will remain in effect until superseded or canceled. 10. Released by Vice Admiral John B.

Approved waivers must be submitted with the application. d. Intelligence CWO (783X) applicants will be considered for selection into one of three Core Competency Areas (CCA): CI/HUMINT, GEOINT/Targeting or OPINTEL. In order to apply, applicants must request a primary CCA and those holding qualifying Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) in more than one field may request a secondary CCA (i.e., 783X CI/HUMINT / 783X OPINTEL). e. First Class Petty Officers serving in congressionally designated combat zones and approved contingency operations areas that meet the conditions of reference (f) are also eligible for LDO if all other eligibility requirements are met. f. Due to ongoing rating mergers or realignments, eligible Sailors are encouraged to apply for the designator for which they have extensive documented technical expertise and leadership experience in their enlisted service records, regardless of current rating. However, special attention should be given to the guidance in chapter 7, subparagraph 9c of reference (a) and discrete requirements. g. Applicants for designators outlined in reference (a) that have color perception requirements shall have test results documented as a telephone consult in Armed Forces Health Longitudinal Technology Application within the past 12 months, and provide hard copy or have test results documented on standard form- 600 and submitted with application. h. Applicants must maintain eligibility throughout the selection and promotion process. Applicants who are deemed ineligible after submitting an application must be declared ineligible by their current Commanding Officer/Officer in Charge (CO/OIC). A sample removal of recommendation format is located at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/career-planning/commissioning-programs. Click through the following path of *Limited Duty Officer & Chief Warrant Officer In-Service Procurement Board* link, then *Active-Duty LDO/CWO In-Service Procurement Board click here* link, then select Applicant Information, then select LDO and CWO In- Service Procurement Board to download the form (See Sample Letter of Abeyance or Removal of Recommendation). Nuclear Power LDO (620X) applicants who are deemed ineligible must be declared ineligible by their current CO via letter to the Nuclear Propulsion Program Manager (OPNAV N133). 4. Appraisal Boards. (Not required for Nuclear Power LDO 620X) Active duty interview appraisal boards will be coordinated and approved by the CO/OIC and consist of three AD Naval Officers (LDOs or CWOs preferred). The names of the approved appraisal board members must be included in the CO/OIC endorsement. Every effort (including teleconference media) should be made to ensure the senior board member is from the LDO or CWO designator family for which the applicant is applying. a. LDO applicants - it is highly recommended that the senior member of the interview panel for applicants applying for LDO be an in-designator commander (CDR) or above. If not available, a LDO CDR or above in another designator can serve in this capacity with at least one board member from the designator family. Officers who were CDR or Captain (CAPT) LDOs that converted to another designator via the Without Board Action (WOBA) process can serve as the senior member. In communities where there are no longer senior LDOs within the community, a CDR or CAPT from the parent community can act as the senior board member, (e.g., a Supply Corps (3100) CDR or CAPT for Supply (651X)) applicants. b. CWO applicants - it is highly recommended that the senior member of the interview panel for applicants applying for CWO be an in-designator CWO5. If not available, a LCDR (LDO preferred) or above can serve in this capacity with at least one board member from the in-designator or designator family (CWO preferred). c. Minimum ranks requirements for board members are Lieutenant or CWO3. d. Only three interview appraisals may be submitted for each applicant. e. Board member preparation for applicant appraisal is an important part of the board process. Review of the application, review of discrete requirements for the applicant designator, having well thought out questions on technical expertise, leadership and knowledge of the designator for which the candidate is applying, to include future career path if selected, are all great examples of board member preparation. f. The technical ability and potential blocks on the interview appraisal sheet must be marked for LDO and CWO candidates. g. Each appraisal shall contain the names of all three panel members. Only the current version of the interviewer appraisal sheet will be accepted. Interviewer appraisal sheet is located at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/career-planning/commissioning-programs. Click through the following path of *Limited Duty Officer & Chief Warrant Officer In-Service Procurement Board* link, then *Active-Duty LDO/CWO In-Service Procurement Board click here* link, then select Applicant Information, then select LDO and CWO In- Service Procurement Board to download the form. 5. Application Submission. Communication to the board (application, addendums, etc.) should originate from the applicant via their CO. However, it is acceptable for the command to submit an applicant’s package on his or her behalf, provided that the package has been endorsed by the CO and the applicant has been provided a copy of their entire package prior to submission. Information received that is not under the cover letter of the applicant (e.g., third party correspondence) and endorsed by the command, or not received by the MyNavy Career Center (MNCC) by the established deadline(s) will not be presented to the board. a. All applications must include a command endorsed LDO/CWO eligibility checklist. b. Each applicant and CO/OIC must ensure applications/addendums are complete and accurate. Incomplete applications could result in non-selection. Applications must be signed by the CO/OIC of the applicant or the *Acting* CO/OIC. Addendums can be signed *By direction* if the CO or OIC is unavailable. c. All applicants must possess a security clearance prior to commission. Refer to reference (a), (chapters 2 and 7) for security clearance information, program overview and eligibility criteria. d. CO/OIC endorsements must contain the following statement: *Applicant meets all requirements outlined in OPNAVINST 1420.1B, NAVADMIN XXX/22, the physical fitness standards of OPNAVINST 6110.1J, and is worldwide assignable.* The endorsement must clearly identify the command, it must identify the members of the interview panel, must be signed by the CO/OIC and include the CO/OICs command point of contact information. A CO/OIC ranking is no longer required, or desired. e. Applicants must ensure a copy of their most recent periodic evaluation is included in the application or provided via addendum for board review and continuity if it is not already in Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). f. Applicants are not required to include an obligatory service statement to remain on active duty. g. Applicants currently serving in an Individual Augmentation Manpower Management, Global Support Assignment or Overseas Contingency Operations Support Assignment may have their application endorsed by the field commander. Field commanders must obtain parent command endorsement prior to submission. A sample format is located at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/career-planning/commissioning-programs. Click through the following path of *Limited Duty Officer & Chief Warrant Officer In-Service Procurement Board* link, then *Active-Duty LDO/CWO In-Service Procurement Board click here* link, then select Applicant Information, then select LDO and CWO In-Service Procurement Board to download the form (See Sample Addendum Letter). h. Applicants must submit sequentially numbered enclosures to the application/addendum, annotated on the bottom right corner of each page with the last name and full social security number of the applicant in the top right corner.

A Florida Veterans Affairs hospital refused treatment for a veteran dying of heart failure because first responders could not prove his military service, a clear violation of federal law, according to a new report released by a department watchdog Tuesday. The incident, which occurred at the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center in Gainesville in summer 2020, was not the first failure by emergency medical staff there to provide care to individuals facing critical medical crises. Staff from the VA Inspector General’s Office said without policy and staffing changes, it may not be the last.

The Navy unveiled promotion quotas for E-4, E-5, and E-6 sailors in the Selected Reserve — which give these sailors a greater chance of being promoted than last year. Seamen looking to move up to petty officer third class are guaranteed they will get one of the 886 E-4 spots if they pass their advancement exam and meet other requirements. There is a 100% advancement opportunity, the same as last year.

Tony replied to Tony's topic in Navy Evals, Awards, PRT, Uniform & Grooming
Navy Mandates CWP Black Rank Tab Wear -- Here are the details -
CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED ROUTINE R 271536Z MAY 22 MID200001752845U FM CNO WASHINGTON DC TO NAVADMIN INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC BT UNCLAS NAVADMIN 124/22 PASS TO OFFICE CODES: FM CNO WASHINGTON DC//N1// INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC//N1// MSGID/GENADMIN/CNO WASHINGTON DC/N1/MAY// SUBJ/NAVY UNIFORM AND GROOMING POLICY UPDATE// REF/A/DOC/COMNAVPERSCOM/23AUG21// AMPN/REF A IS NAVPERS 15665J, U.S. NAVY UNIFORM REGULATIONS.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces an update to several uniform and grooming policies. Navy uniform policy updates directly support Sailor 2025 objectives to attract and retain the very best Sailors by finding greater flexibility in our policies and practices, including uniforms. 2. Navy Uniform Regulations apply to all Sailors equally, regardless of their rank, grade, ethnicity, position held or community assigned. Any difference between male and female grooming policies recognizes the differences between the genders. Navy uniform policy updates are the result of Fleet feedback, uniform working group discussions, command sponsored requests and direction from Navy leadership. 3. The following uniform and grooming policy changes are effective as stated: a. Female Hosiery. Effective immediately, wearing hosiery with slacks or skirts is optional vice mandatory for female Sailors when wearing pumps or flats footwear. When hosiery is not worn, shoe liners or no-show socks are required to be worn for hygienic purposes and to avoid abrasions or blisters caused by direct contact and rubbing between the foot and shoe. b. Female Officer/Chief Petty Officer (CPO) Summer White Uniform. Effective immediately, the female officer/CPO summer white uniform belted slacks are re-designated as a basic component of both summer white and service dress white uniforms. This policy change facilitates use of the same slacks for either uniform. c. Female Officer/CPO Service Dress White Uniform. Effective immediately, the beltless dress white slacks worn with the female officer/CPO Service Dress white uniform is re-designated as an optional vice mandatory component for purchase and wear. d. Rank Insignia Worn on Rank Tabs. Effective 1 October 2022, all Navy Service Members will wear the black cold weather parka (CWP) rank insignia on all uniform components with rank tabs. Uniform components requiring the black rank insignia in addition to the CWP include the Navy working uniform (NWU) type II and III shirts and parkas, black fleece liner and brown fleece liner. Matching pattern NWU type II/III rank insignia will only be worn on the NWU type II/III during tactical training and operations as designated by the applicable commanding officer. e. Retired Male Sailor Uniform Grooming Standards. Effective immediately, retired male Sailors are authorized to have facial hair (beard) when wearing Navy uniforms during authorized ceremonial events. Facial hair must be neatly groomed and be in keeping with a professional appearance. f. NWU Type III Maternity Top.

This NAVADMIN announces the updated nuclear Enlisted Supervisor Retention Pay (ESRP) policy memorandum, reference (a). This ESRP policy memorandum and NAVADMIN supersede reference (b) and reference (c), respectively, effective 1 August 2022. The ESRP Program provides a retention incentive to senior Navy nuclear- trained enlisted Sailors with highly specialized skills. A detailed program description is outlined in reference (a) and can be found at https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Community- Management/Enlisted/Nuclear/Enlisted-Programs/. The legal authority for ESRP is contained in section 331 of reference (d) and reference (e). Current ESRP requirements limit the program as follows: a. The minimum reenlistment length is 3 years. b. The maximum bonus amount for each year of additional obligated service (AOS) is limited to 30,000 dollars as stated in section 331 of reference (d). The implication of this limit is that to earn a 100,000- dollar bonus the minimum AOS required is 40 months. c. The maximum reenlistment lifetime bonus amount is 360,000 dollars. d. All ESRP payments must be received prior to completion of 28 years of service (YOS). The implication of this limit is that any ESRP installment that would be due after 28 YOS will be paid in the final installment prior to completion of 28 YOS. 2. Notable changes in reference (a) are as follows: a. Zone 2 eligibility is now defined as greater than or equal to 14 years but less than completion of 17 years. b. Zone 3 eligibility is now defined as greater than or equal to 17 years but less than completion of 23 years. c. Provides guidance for ESRP requests to be submitted through the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS). d. Updates compensation for any term of reenlistment is limited to 30,000 per year of AOS (2,500/month of AOS). e. Updates a service member cannot exceed combined SRB and ESRP payments totaling 360,000 dollars in a career. f. Updates that anniversary payments may not be made after completion of 28 YOS. g. Provides clarity that each reenlistment must obligate service into the next zone. 3. ESRP Award Multiples. Award levels remain the same as previously released in reference (c) and are listed below: a. ESRP Zone 1 and Zone 2 award level (AOS computation stops at completion of 16 YOS for Zone 1 and 18 YOS for Zone 2): Rating PNEC Zone 1 Zone 2 ETNSS N13S 9.5 4.5 EMNSS N14S 8.0 4.5 MMNSS N15S 7.5 4.5 ELTSS N16S 7.5 4.5 ETNSW N23S 7.5 4.5 EMNSW N24S 8.0 4.5 MMNSW N25S 7.5 4.5 ELTSW N26S 6.0 4.5 b. ESRP Zone 3 award level (AOS computation stops at completion of 23 YOS): AOS AOS AOS Rating PNEC 1-24mos 25-36mos 37+mos ETNSS N13S 0.5 1.5 2.5 EMNSS N14S 0.5 1.5 2.5 MMNSS N15S 0.5 1.5 2.5 ELTSS N16S 0.5 1.5 2.5 ETNSW N23S 0.5 1.5 2.5 EMNSW N24S 0.5 1.5 2.5 MMNSW N25S 0.5 1.5 2.5 ELTSW N26S 0.5 1.5 2.5 4. Eligibility. Only Sailors assigned with an active supervisor Navy enlisted classification (NEC) listed in paragraph 3 are eligible to reenlist for ESRP. In addition, Service Members must hold a current security clearance or be in an open status for a new investigation. ESRP requests and anniversary payments for personnel with special category NECs (N59X/N89X) will be held in abeyance pending final resolution. Overall, ESRP eligibility requirements are defined in reference (a). To encourage career progression and provide incentive for continued superior at-sea service, the following supplementary eligibility requirements remain in place for each ESRP zone: a. ESRP Zone 1. In addition to the requirements of reference (a), be assigned an active nuclear supervisor NEC (see paragraph 3). b. ESRP Zone 2. In addition to the requirements of reference (a), be a frocked E-7 or in the paygrade of E-7, E-8 or E-9 on the date of the ESRP Zone 2 reenlistment. c. ESRP Zone 3. In addition to the requirements of reference (a): (1) Be a frocked E-8 or in the paygrade of E-8 or E-9 on the date of the ESRP Zone 3 reenlistment and (2) Have successfully previously served as, be currently serving as (on orders) or have been issued and accepted orders as a submarine engineering department master chief, nuclear aircraft carrier (CVN) major division leading chief petty officer, CVN reactor training division officer or CVN reactor department master chief. 5. Application Process. To ensure the approval message is released in a timely manner, ESRP reenlistment requests should be submitted 35 to 120 days in advance of the desired reenlistment date. Exceptions to this policy can be approved by the ESRP program manager on an individual basis. a. ESRP eligible service members must be recommended for reenlistment by their commanding officer. The command may use the checklist (enclosure (l) of reference (a)) to assist in submitting the ESRP request within the NSIPS. b. NSIPS is programmed to accept ESRP reenlistment requests and is the only method of submission. If the command is unable to submit ESRP reenlistment requests due to operational commitments, then the commands immediate superior in command may submit the request via NSIPS. Due to the transition from Officer Personnel Information System Force Management to NSIPS, the ESRP Program Manager can no longer submit a request for a Sailor or command. Entering an ESRP request in NSIPS is similar to that of submitting a SRB request. Other specifics for submitting ESRP requests in NSIPS are stated in reference (a). 6. Officer Programs. ESRP entitlement for Sailors who reenlist after applying for an officer program will be held pending selection results. For limited duty officer, the application deadline is considered the suspense date as published in reference (f) and future announcement messages. For all other commissioning programs, the date on which Nuclear Community Manager (OPNAV N133) approves the conditional release to apply for that program is the date after which additional ESRP entitlements will be held. 7. Recoupment. Repayment policy is governed by section 373 of reference (d), chapter 2 of reference (g) and reference (a), which collectively determines when repayment of the unearned portion of a bonus is required or not required, but left to Secretarial discretion or is prohibited. Section 373 of reference (d), requires repayment with certain exceptions. As a general rule, repayment of any unearned portion of a bonus will be sought. Examples of situations requiring repayment are provided in reference (a). 8. Service Record Entry. An Administrative Remarks (NAVPERS 1070/613) entry acknowledging recoupment policy via NSIPS is required in the record of the Service Member prior to execution of an ESRP reenlistment (examples are provided in enclosure (2) of reference (a)). 9. The point of contact is the ESRP Program Manager located at OPNAV N133 at (703) 604-5502/DSN 664 or via e-mail at nxag_n133d3(at)navy.mil or bullnuke(at)navy.mil. 10. Released by Vice Admiral John B.

The Navy has officially changed the status of 13 Sailors lost when the USS Indianapolis (CA 35) was sunk in 1945 from “Unaccounted for” to “Buried at Sea,” Navy Casualty announced May 27. The change in status is the result of extensive research between Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC), Navy Casualty Office, the USS Indianapolis Survivors Association, the USS Indianapolis Legacy Organization, and the Chief Rick Stone and Family Charitable Foundation. The announcement helps bring closure to the families of these Sailors who lost their lives at the end of a secret mission which helped end World War II.

The Navy exceeded 1,000 separations due to sailors’ continued refusal to get vaccinated against COVID-19. The service has now approved 1,074 separations for sailors who will not get vaccinated against COVID-19 and do not have a waiver, according to the sea service’s weekly update. The Navy cannot currently separate anyone who applied for a religious exemption due to a ruling in a federal lawsuit.

The grounding resulted from an accumulation of unit-level errors and omissions that fell far below U.S. Navy standards. PEARL HARBOR — The U.S. Navy has released the command investigation into the USS Connecticut (SSN 22) grounding that occurred on October 2, 2021. USS Connecticut grounded on an uncharted seamount while operating submerged in a poorly surveyed area in international waters in the Indo-Pacific region. The investigation determined the grounding was preventable. Specifically, the grounding resulted from an accumulation of unit-level errors and omissions in navigation planning; watch team execution; and risk management – all of which fell far below U.S. Navy standards. The investigation and endorsements describes what happened, promulgates lessons learned, memorializes completed corrective actions, documents accountability actions, and delineates pending actions that must be finalized with a sense of urgency. In addition to addressing the unit-level errors that caused the grounding, the investigation highlighted specific areas for improvement in the deployment training and certification process – and the Navy is urgently implementing these improvements across the Submarine Force. This investigation delineates 28 corrective actions, of which 14 actions are complete, 13 actions are in progress, and 1 action is enduring. In implementing these significant improvements, the Navy will become a more effective fighting force. Given the inherently dangerous nature of Naval operations, we cannot become a risk-averse or zero-defect organization, but prioritizing safety will engender a culture of greater attention to detail in operational tasks, enhanced procedural compliance, and a questioning attitude that constantly seeks improvement – which increases the readiness of our forces and the Navy’s lethality in combat.

Eight Democrats on the House Armed Services Committee called on Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to remove the revenue requirement at base commissaries, which would lower grocery prices and help military families better cope with fast-rising inflation. “Many of our military families are struggling to meet their basic needs due to rising prices,” the lawmakers wrote to Austin in letter dated May 11.
