For promotion to the grade of lieutenant, an All-Fully- Qualified- Officers List (AFQOL) consisting of those officers recommended for promotion on their most recent fitness reports will be sent to the Secretary of the Navy, who will certify the AFQOL and forward the list to the Secretary of Defense. Those officers determined not fully qualified for promotion will be omitted from the AFQOL, constituting a failure of selection. The All-Fully- Qualified (AFQ) standard applies to all designators. The AFQ standard will also be utilized for any officers administratively missed when the original lists were compiled. 4. Officers in the grades of lieutenant, lieutenant commander, and commander are eligible for consideration for promotion only if they have served continuously on either the RASL or Active Duty List (or a combination of both lists) during the one-year period ending on the date of the convening of the promotion board. Accordingly, officers returning to an active status from a period of inactive or broken service (USNR-S2, discharge) are eligible for consideration for promotion only after continuously serving in an active status for one full year. Membership in the Individual Ready Reserve does not qualify for deferment of eligibility for consideration. 5. Only eligible officers may communicate with a promotion selection board via the letter to the board (LTB) process. NAVADMIN 220/19 announced the introduction of a new application known as Electronic Submission of Selection Board Documents (ESSBD), accessible through MyNavy Portal (MNP). ESSBD improves the speed, transparency, and confidence of receipt over current LTB submission methods, such as hard copy and e-mail submitted letters and related attachments. a. ESSBD will be available for all promotion and selection boards. b. ESSBD provides board candidates with the capability to electronically submit LTBs in a standard, consistent format, with or without attachments and will allow the candidate to see (for content and clarity) exactly what will be delivered and presented to the board. c. To use ESSBD, candidates must access document services through MNP at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/my-record. On-screen instructions will direct the submitter thereafter. d. Submission and subsequent receipt acknowledgement for LTBs submitted via ESSBD or other means does not constitute confirmation of eligibility for the boards to which LTBs are submitted. If required, a full visual user guide is available at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and- promotion. e. LTBs must be received by Navy Personnel Command not later than 2359 (central standard time (CST)) 10 days prior to the convening date of the respective board, as noted below. Submitters are cautioned not to wait until the deadline date to submit LTBs via ESSBD or other available avenues.

If unable to use ESSBD, the CSCSELBOARD(at)NAVY.MIL mailbox account is capable of receiving encrypted correspondence in accordance with Department of Defense policy. If sending a board package from a non Navy Marine Corps Intranet network (bumed.mil, eu.navy.mil, etc.), please review procedures listed in NAVADMIN 220/19. g. The written communication may call attention to the board any matter concerning the record of the officer that the officer considers important. Written communication may include, as enclosures, correspondence from any individual concerning the eligible officer. Correspondence not originated by the eligible officer, including endorsement to the letter of the eligible officer and letters written on behalf of that officer, must contain a written acknowledgement by the eligible officer that he or she desires such correspondence be presented to the board. Correspondence without such an acknowledgement is considered third party correspondence and will be returned without being presented to the board. Classified correspondence will not be accepted. 6. Questions regarding LTB submission should be directed to MyNavy Career Center by calling 1-833-330-MNCC (1-833-330-6622/DSN: 882- 6622). 7. The Secretary of the Navy has authorized the Reserve Active- Status List line and staff corps promotion boards for the grades of captain, commander, and lieutenant commander to reorder their recommended promotion list based on particular merit as allowed by section 14108 of title 10, U.S. Code. An officer may be placed higher on a promotion list only if the officer receives the recommendation of at least a majority of the members of the board. For officers recommended to be placed higher on a promotion list, the board shall recommend the order in which those officers should be placed on the list. 8. All officers are reminded it is their responsibility to ensure their personnel records are accurate and complete. 9. This NAVADMIN will be canceled for record purposes on 30 September 2024. 10.

U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs bulletin

A streamlined appraisal process for Department of Veterans Affairs home loans, an easier way to transfer GI Bill benefits to a new school, and more support for survivors of military sexual trauma. Those are some of the improvements for veterans that are coming after President Joe Biden signed a batch of veterans-related bills Monday that Congress cleared in the closing days of its session this year.

CNN — It was November 2010 and a platoon of Marines was patrolling outside of a village in Helmand Province, Afghanistan – slowly, and carefully, to avoid accidentally stepping on hidden improvised explosive devices. They walked in a single file line meant to reduce the risk of multiple Marines being taken out in one blast. In the patrol formation was Zainullah Zaki, a young Afghan man working as an interpreter with 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division. As the Marines scanned for hidden explosives, Zaki, known as Zak by his American counterparts, listened to the radio, monitoring frequencies for Taliban communications. As they walked, he heard a Taliban commander coordinating an ambush on the very Marines he was with.

The next high-speed accessory for naval aviators is being designed with women in mind. In 2023, the Navy plans to make a design decision on a biosensing bra and undershirt intended to monitor the vital signs of aircrew while in flight. These compressive garments, designed in partnership with the Defense Innovation Unit, feature built-in sensors that can measure breathing, heart rate and acceleration. These garments may offer a new way to detect early signs of trouble in the cockpit before they turn into a “physiological episode,” or medical emergency. Just as notably, the development process marks an effort to tailor designs to female pilots in a service that has often treated their needs as an afterthought.

SUFFOLK, Va. — Christopher Paul Hetherington, a 33-year-old Lieutenant Commander in the Navy, was taken into custody on Dec. 21 after investigators say he tried to meet with what he thought was a 14-year-old girl. He is currently being held at Western Tidewater Regional Jail.

A fire broke out early Friday aboard the guided-missile destroyer Carney while it was pier-side at Naval Station Mayport, Florida. Few details were released by Navy officials Friday, but six sailors were taken to an area hospital for smoke inhalation, according to Naval Surface Force Atlantic spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Jason Fischer.

The purpose of this NAVADMIN is to provide information and solicit interest in the Navys recruiting referral program, Every Sailor is a Recruiter. Commander, Navy Recruiting Command (CNRC) is asking all Sailors to help fill the ranks by sharing their Navy story, and providing a source of inspiration to the next generation of future Sailors. 2. The goal of this program is to have Sailors share their experiences in the Navy with others who could benefit from what the Navy has to offer. Every Sailor is an ambassador for the Navy. Your stories and experiences hold weight and influence within your circle and could be the reason someone chooses military service. 3. If you meet someone you believe is a good fit for our Navy, text *FLOC* to 764-764. Doing so will link you to a survey page where you can provide their name and contact information which will allow a recruiter to engage with them. 4. In order to incentivize Sailors to assist in this effort, CNRC has authorized a Flag Letter of Commendation (FLOC) (max of 2) for any Sailor who provides a referral that ultimately leads to a future Sailor contract. These FLOCs are worth one point each towards advancement and can make all the difference when final multiple scores are calculated. 5. The Navy saw something in you, when you see those same traits in others, share your positive experiences! Every Sailor is a Recruiter, let us know when you find talent that can make our Navy even stronger! 6. Additional Information: a.

This NAVADMIN announces Navy policy and procedures for the implementation of basic needs allowance (BNA). 2. In line with reference (a), reference (b) established Department of Defense policy for BNA. Reference (c) authorizes the Chief of Naval Personnel to implement BNA policy. The BNA program provides a monthly allowance to Sailors whose gross household income (GHI) and household size place them below 130 percent of Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG) for their permanent duty station (PDS) location. BNA provides additional income to address the difference between GHI from the previous calendar year (CY) and 130 percent of the FPG for the current CY. BNA is payable to eligible Sailors who voluntarily apply beginning on or after 23 December 2022. These references, frequently asked questions, templates, and other BNA resources can be found here: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/References/Pay- Benefits/N130C/. 3. Eligibility. In line with paragraph 3.2.a of reference (b), eligibility for BNA requires that a Sailor meets all of the following criteria: a. They have completed initial entry training (IET). For purposes of BNA, this coincides with a Sailor arriving at the first PDS after completion of all required training at any location, including training locations that are considered a PDS. b. Their GHI during the most recent CY did not exceed 130 percent of the FPG for that year. c. They have dependents enrolled in Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) and listed on their legacy dependency application/record of emergency data (NAVPERS 1070/602). d. They voluntarily applied for BNA and were certified by MyNavy Career Center (MNCC). 4. Ineligibility. In line with paragraph 3.2.b of reference (b) Sailors are ineligible to receive BNA if any of the following items apply: a. They have not completed IET. b. They do not have any dependents. c. Their GHI during the most recent CY exceeded 130 percent of the FPG for that year. d. Their current, annualized GHI exceeds 130 percent of the FPG for the previous CY. e. They are a midshipman at the United States Naval Academy or in the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps. 5. Screening. MNCC will conduct monthly screenings. No input from Sailors or commands is required for this screening. The first monthly screening will be completed after the FPGs are released for the current CY. MNCC will provide each command with a list of Sailors who have been screened as potentially eligible for BNA via enterprise customer relationship management (eCRM). 6. Notification. Sailors who screen as potentially eligible to receive BNA will be officially notified by their chain of command via a NAVPERS 1070-613 (page 13) screening notification and be provided an application cover sheet as described in paragraph 13. a. Units are required to report to MNCC the total Sailors notified each month by the fifth day of the following month. Units will use the BNA monthly report described in paragraph 13 and submit it to MNCC via eCRM. The report will include all subordinate unit identification codes that do not have their own commanding officer (CO). Reports are not required if there have been no notifications. b. If a Sailor is notified via page 13 that they may be eligible for BNA, they have 180 days to submit an application or they are deemed ineligible until rescreened. Sailors who are notified during IET have 180 days to apply after arrival at their first PDS after completion of IET or they are deemed ineligible until rescreened. c. Once notified of potential eligibility to receive BNA, Sailors should further determine their eligibility based on their total GHI before starting an application. Resources available to assist Sailors include but are not limited to their Command Pay and Personnel Administrators (CPPA), Personal Financial Managers (PFMs) at the local Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC), and their Command Financial Specialists (CFS). Additional resources can be found at: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/References/Pay- Benefits/N130C/. 7. Application Process: a. Sailors may submit an application whether or not they have been notified as potentially eligible for BNA. b. Sailors in IET cannot submit an application until they have arrived at the first PDS after completion of all required training at any location, including training locations that are considered a PDS. c. Sailors in receipt of separation orders may not apply for BNA. d. Applications will be submitted to MNCC via eCRM in a single pdf file and must include the following: (1) Completed application cover sheet signed by the CPPA or other designated verifying official and endorsed by the CO. (2) Supporting documentation to confirm GHI in line with the definition of GHI in section G.2 of reference (b). (3) Copy of page 13 screening notification, if applicable. e. Additional GHI considerations are described in paragraph 3.4.b.(8) and (9) of reference (b). f. Sailors are encouraged to seek assistance during the application process. Personnel available to assist with the application include but are not limited to CPPAs, PFMs at the FFSC, and CFSs. 8. Application Adjudication. MNCC is the adjudicating authority for BNA applications. Adjudication will occur within 30 days of receipt of a complete and verified application endorsed by the CO. MNCC will adjudicate applications as certified, ineligible, or incomplete, and will provide a detailed explanation of the outcome to the Sailor via the command through eCRM. a. Correspondence to Sailors will be expeditiously retrieved from eCRM by the command and delivered to the Sailor. The Sailor is required to initial the correspondence next to their name to confirm receipt. b. If an application is adjudicated as certified, BNA is effective on the date of certification and the first payment will be made within 30 days. Counseling requirements listed in paragraph 3.7.c of reference (b) will be explained in the certification notification letter to the Sailor. c. MNCC will maintain documentation, disaggregated by month, of all items listed in paragraph 3.5.f of reference (b). 9. Special BNA Eligibility Considerations. See paragraph 3.2.c of reference (b). BNA will terminate 60 days after Sailors become ineligible due to their monthly GHI when annualized, exceeding 130 percent of the previous year FPG. For example, a Sailor that receives a promotion and becomes ineligible for BNA due to the pay increase will continue to receive BNA at the previously calculated rate for 60 days after the date of promotion. 10. Computation of Allowance. Monthly BNA payment is equal to 1.3 times the most recently published annual FPG for the CY during which the allowance is paid based on the Sailor household size, minus the Sailor GHI during the previous calendar year, divided by 12. A sample BNA payment computation and information on BNA proration for periods of duty under 30 days are found in Figure 1 and paragraph 3.6.c of reference (b), respectively. 11. Recertification Requirements. a. In line with paragraph 3.7.b of reference (b), for Sailors receiving BNA, recertification by MNCC is required if any of the following occur: (1) 12 months have elapsed since their BNA was last certified. (2) Their monthly, recurring GHI increases by $150 or more per month. (3) The number of dependents in their household changes. b. If GHI increases by $150 or more per month due to changes other than military compensation, Sailors receiving BNA are responsible to notify MNCC via their CPPA through eCRM within 60 days. MNCC will monitor changes in military compensation and will recertify eligibility when military compensation increases. (1) GHI changes that require notification to MNCC will be submitted in eCRM using the GHI Update Document described in paragraph 13. A new application is not required when providing routine GHI updates. (2) Failure to notify MNCC within 60 days of a qualifying GHI change may result in termination of BNA eligibility and recoupment of any overpayment. (3) GHI updates do not require CO endorsement. CO endorsement is required for applications only. c. MNCC will automatically recertify and recalculate BNA payments due to changes in military compensation or the number of dependents of a participating Sailor as long as DEERS is current and updated by the Sailor. MNCC will provide an updated adjudication via eCRM detailing any changes to BNA status. d. No later than 10 January each year, Sailors receiving BNA will submit a GHI Update Document with substantiating documentation to MNCC to establish their previous CY GHI. 12. Reserve Component (RC). Members of the RC on Active Duty as defined in section 101 of title 37, U.S. Code may apply for BNA if otherwise eligible. For purposes of BNA, if the Active Duty orders are for temporary duty, the PDS is the Navy Reserve Center to which the member is assigned. If the Active Duty orders involve a PCS, the new PDS location is used for purposes of BNA. 13. BNA Documents. Specific tools and templates are required to be utilized during the screening, notification, and application processes. All items can be found here: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/References/Pay-Benefits/N130C/. a. The following document templates are required to be used in the execution of BNA: (1) NAVPERS 1070-613 Screening Notification. Utilized for all official notifications once a Sailor is screened as potentially eligible. (2) Application Cover Sheet. Required to be utilized for application submission to MNCC via eCRM. (3) GHI Update Document. Submitted by Sailors receiving BNA when criteria are met as described in paragraph 11.b and by 10 January each CY. (4) BNA Monthly Report. Units will submit the reporting template monthly via eCRM no later than the fifth day of each month with the total number of Sailors notified of potential eligibility. No report is required if no Sailors were notified. 14. This NAVADMIN will remain in effect until superseded or canceled, or 31 December 2027, whichever occurs first. Point of contact for BNA policy is the Military Pay and Compensation Policy Branch (OPNAV N130). OPNAV N130 can be reached via email at NXAG_N130C(at)navy.mil. 15. Released by Vice Admiral Richard J.

This NAVADMIN announces the High Year Tenure (HYT) Plus pilot program which offers a new opportunity for talented and experienced Sailors to continue their Navy careers beyond the HYT limits listed in reference (a). This pilot also offers additional looks for advancement and more time to build retirement benefits, to include E5 retirement. 2. Active Component (AC) and Training and Administration of the Reserve (TAR). a. With the exception of command master chiefs (CMDCM), command senior chiefs (CMDCS) and nuclear trained master chiefs, all AC and TAR enlisted Sailors of all ranks and rates with a HYT date in Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 or 2024 may chose to remain on active duty beyond their original HYT date by applying for a job in MyNavy Assignment and then obligating for a full tour when matched to an assignment. It is also possible to extend at the current command to complete an additional full tour there, if a valid billet exists and the assignment is approved by the detailer and the command. Once obligated for a follow-on tour, the Sailors HYT date will be matched to the end of the new tour. If you are an E5 Sailor approaching your HYT threshold of 16 years, this pilot not only allows you to continue your naval career and potentially advance to the next rank, it provides a path for you to become eligible for retirement. In all cases, Sailors must be recommended for retention by their commanding officer on their most recent evaluation. b. In order to facilitate this pilot program, all AC and TAR enlisted HYT dates occurring between 1 March 2023 and 30 September 2024 are hereby suspended, with the exception of CMDCM, CMDCS and nuclear trained master chiefs. HYT Plus eligible AC and TAR Sailors with a HYT date in that time frame will no longer be involuntarily separated or involuntarily transferred to the fleet reserve due to reaching HYT as prescribed in reference (a). The decision to remain on active duty beyond the normal end of active obligated service (EAOS) is voluntary and will not require the submission of a HYT waiver request. Sailors who otherwise would have reached HYT between 1 March 2023 and 30 September 2024, but opt to transfer to the fleet reserve, or separate at their EAOS will be deemed a voluntary separation. c. HYT Plus eligible Sailors who are approved for HYT-based separation or retirement on or before 28 February 2023 may opt into the HYT Plus pilot any time prior to their separation or retirement date. In all cases, the request must be received by MyNavy Career Center (MNCC) prior to the separation date. If satisfied to continue on their current path, separating or retiring Sailors may execute HYT-based separation or retirement orders effective on or before 28 Feb 2023 as an involuntary separation without any additional action required based on this NAVADMIN. In order to opt into the HYT Plus pilot: (1) Those with approved Fleet Reserve/Retirement must create and route a Fleet Reserve/Retirement cancellation request via Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System Retirements and Separations citing this NAVADMIN. (2) Those with approved HYT-based separation must submit a special request/authorization (NAVPERS 1336/3) to their commanding officer requesting to opt into the HYT Plus Pilot program. (3) In both cases, it is imperative that Command Pay and Personnel Administrators submit the requests to cancel separations/retirements to Transaction Service Center (TSC) Norfolk, prior to the separation/retirement date. This will ensure cancellation of the transaction to avoid separating a member who wants to stay Navy. 3. Selected Reserve (SELRES, drill with pay). a. SELRES Sailors are automatically approved to continue service through 30 September 2024 independent of HYT gates outlined in reference (a) as long as they remain in good standing with respect to the requirements outlined in references (b) and (c) and are recommended for retention on their most recent evaluation. SELRES Sailors are encouraged to coordinate necessary changes to their obligated service or projected rotation date with their Navy Reserve Activity Command Career Counselor. SELRES Sailors will continue to follow normal assignment policy in line reference (c). b. Voluntary Training Unit (VTU) Sailors. E6 and below VTU Sailors who are not pending administrative or disciplinary action may affiliate with the SELRES in line with reference (d) in a paid status for service through 30 September 2024 unless restricted by other policies. 4. Advancement Eligibility. All Active and Reserve Sailors eligible for HYT Plus may participate in Navy-wide advancement exams (NWAE), advancement selection boards, and other advancement programs without regard to HYT requirements outlined in reference (e). When completing enlisted advancement worksheets, Sailors should provide their educational support officer (ESO) with their intent to continue service. Additionally, ESOs shall order substitute exams for the upcoming AC, TAR, and SELRES advancement cycles for Sailors who are now eligible under HYT Plus. NWAE participation will not be prohibited solely based on HYT for Sailors eligible for HYT Plus. Additionally, if Fleet Reserve retirement was preventing a Sailor from being eligible for an advancement board, the Sailor should contact the Selection Board Eligibility Branch (PERS-802) via e-mail at NPC_Enlisted_SELBD_Elig.fct(at)navy.mil or phone at (901) 874- 3217 to confirm renewed eligibility. 5. All other policies outlined in reference (a) not addressed in this announcement remain unchanged. 6.

The Navy announced a two-year suspension of enlisted high-year tenure Dec. 22 to improve Navy retention efforts and Fleet readiness. “This suspension means more of our talented and experienced Sailors can stay in the Navy,” said Rear Adm. James Waters III, director, Military Personnel Plans and Policy Division, N13, Office of the Chief of Naval Operations. “By removing this barrier to retaining career-minded Sailors, the Navy is broadening career progression opportunities for Sailors and allowing them the opportunity to advance to the next higher paygrade.”

The funding is expected to cover major repairs to the facility's pipelines and other infrastructure that will facilitate the safe draining of approximately 104 million gallons of fuel from aging underground tanks, as well as remediating the soil and groundwater that's been polluted by past fuel spills. The funding is included in the annual appropriations bill, which is expected to be signed by Friday by President Joe Biden.

An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the deaths of three USS George Washington (CVN-73) sailors who died by suicide in April found that the cases were largely unrelated but revealed an overworked mental health system aboard the carrier that had trouble keeping up with the demands of the crew. The report, released this week concluded that while all three of the sailors experienced stress from George Washington’s extended refueling and complex overhaul period, they did not know each other, and each had unique personal factors that contributed to their deaths. The investigation looked into suicide contagion — the idea that one suicide can lead to another person thinking about taking their life — and it could not be ruled out.

Cmdr. Robert Ramirez III, commanding officer of SEAL Team 1, was found dead in his San Diego County residence Monday. Naval Special Warfare Command officials said in a statement Wednesday that foul play is not suspected to have played a role in the decorated officer’s death.

The alternate design fitness suit is of the same basic design, color, and Navy logos as the standard fitness suit, but without reflective piping. Sailors may wear fitness suit jackets and pants that do not match with respect to reflective piping but are advised to wear a reflective belt or vest when wearing the physical training uniform to conduct outdoor physical activities during reduced visibility hours. The alternate design fitness suit jacket will be available for purchase at your local Navy Exchange Uniform Center approximately by December 2022. The alternate design pants are expected to be available by approximately May 2023. f. Navy Security Force (NSF) Identification Badge. Effective immediately, a security force identification badge with an engraved black star is added to the list of authorized security force badges worn by security force personnel. The security force badge with the four digit alpha-numeric serial number previously issued is also authorized for wear until the NSF member is honorably discharged or retired from the Navy. The new NSF metal identification badges will be available for command purchase via military standard requisitioning and issue procedures requisition or through the Defense Logistics Agency FedMall e-commerce acquisition platform.

WASHINGTON -- Three suicides by sailors assigned to a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier, which set off alarms about conditions on and around the ship, were not connected, but the poor quality of life onboard was a “contributing factor” in one of the deaths, according to a Navy report released Monday. The suicides, which happened while the USS George Washington was docked at the shipyard in Newport News, Virginia, between April 9-15, triggered questions about whether the sailors knew each other or if something similar, associated with their jobs or the ship, had caused them. The report concludes that while all three were assigned to the ship, which was undergoing extensive maintenance, they had no social or working relationships with each other.
