THE PENTAGON — Amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli (LHA-7) departed Naval Station San Diego, Calif., on an independent deployment to the Western Pacific on Monday, USNI News has learned. The 45,000-ton big-deck amphibious ship left San Diego to gather F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighters that will include further testing of the Marine’s “lightning carrier” concept, a defense official confirmed to USNI News. The lightning carrier can load up to 20 of the short take-off, vertically landing F-35s as an adjunct capability to a carrier strike group, USNI News understands. A U.S. 3rd Fleet spokesman confirmed to USNI News the big-deck left San Diego on Monday, but did not provide additional details on the deployment.

The commanding officer of the USS George Washington told his crew Thursday that the Navy will begin to move sailors off of the aircraft carrier following a string of suicides and complaints from service members about conditions aboard the ship, whose projected departure from the shipyards has been pushed back once again.

As her one-year anniversary with the Navy approached last May, Hannah Crisostomo swallowed 196 pain relievers. Her organs shut down. Her brain swelled during multiple seizures and she stopped breathing. She was on life support for eight days, during which time doctors had warned her family that she may never regain normal brain functions. When Crisostomo woke up, she immediately wondered why she was still alive. Her thoughts grew more despairing during the next few weeks in the hospital and then in the Navy’s psychiatric ward.

YOKOSUKA NAVAL BASE, Japan – The U.S. Navy tried out a new drone system recently aboard one of its older destroyers, a project that, if successful, could provide low impact, unmanned air support for the warship. The Aerosonde Small Unmanned Aircraft System, property of defense contractor Textron, Inc., successfully completed its first flight on April 4 from the deck of the guided-missile destroyer USS Higgins, according to a company news release that day.

UNCLASSIFIED ROUTINE R 291703Z APR 22 MID600051762538U FM CNO WASHINGTON DC//DNS// TO NAVADMIN INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC//DNS// BT UNCLAS NAVADMIN 110/22 PASS TO OFFICE CODES: INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC//DNS// SUBJ/2022 BOB FELLER ACT OF VALOR AWARDS // MSGID/GENADMIN/CNO WASHINGTON DC/DNS/MAY// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN solicits nominations for the ninth annual Bob Feller Act of Valor Award for a Chief Petty Officer (CPO) and for the Junior Sailor Peer-to-Peer Mentorship Chapter Award for both afloat and ashore commands. 2. Background. The Bob Feller Act of Valor Foundation established a prestigious award in 2013, named in honor of Major League Baseball (MLB) pitcher, National Baseball Hall of Fame (NBHOF) inductee, and Navy veteran Bob Feller. Mr. Feller enlisted in the Navy shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor while he was with the Cleveland Indians. He served onboard USS Alabama (BB 60) as a Gun Captain, and during his time onboard the ship fought in both World War II theaters, earning eight battle stars. Mr. Feller was released from active-duty having earned the rank of Chief Petty Officer (CPO). 3. Award. This unique award is intended to recognize a representative from three critical areas of Mr. Feller's life: his MLB career, his service in the Navy as a CPO, and his enshrinement in the NBHOF. Accordingly, the award will be presented to one active MLB player, one CPO, and one member of the NBHOF. The Bob Feller Act of Valor Foundation will also recognize a group of Sailors, 18-25 years-old, who have most effectively worked together as a team (in either a personal or professional capacity) to promote peer-to-peer mentorship and a reduction in Sailor destructive decision making and behavior in both afloat and ashore categories. The awards will be presented at the Navy Memorial in Washington, D.C. on 16 November 2022, COVID-19 restrictions permitting. 4. Eligibility and selection criteria. Nominees for the CPO award must be a CPO (E7), active or reserve, and must be outstanding military professionals and leaders in their communities. The following selection criteria for Navy nominees have been prescribed by the Bob Feller Act of Valor Foundation and are based upon the principles by which Mr. Feller lived his life. Nominees must: a. Be outstanding leaders in the performance of all professional responsibilities and serve as an example to peers and subordinates as inspirational leaders. Only those with three years of consistent outstanding documented performance (include three years of evaluations in the nomination package) as a CPO should be considered. Nominees must display good character and humility in their achievements. b. Demonstrate community leadership through volunteer service, holding leadership positions within the organizations they serve. Display a genuine desire to be better today than they were yesterday, and better tomorrow than they are today. Provide an outstanding example of character and dedication to service for all to emulate. c. Put the needs of others before the needs or wants of themselves. This may be documented through evaluations and awards. Both should show they led in the Navy or in their community to benefit the professional and personal development of others. Accomplishments or achievements must be above and beyond the scope of their primary responsibilities. d. Show unyielding support of the United States of America and fellow service men and women by having participated in patriotic events that celebrate all who serve our great nation. These events should be documented individually in the nomination to show the depth of participation in various events over the past three years. e. Above all else, prove to be beyond reproach in the manner in which they conduct themselves, treat others, and live by the Navy core values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment. 5. Nominations for the Junior Sailor Peer-to-Peer Mentorship Chapter Awards (afloat and ashore) can be any group of Sailors 18-25 years-old, who have worked effectively as a team to enhance their command's mission and community's success in a manner consistent with the high ideals and personal example of Bob Feller. Nominated teams of Sailors must consist of junior Sailors who have worked together to promote peer-to-peer mentorship and a reduction in Sailor destructive decision making and behavior. Nominations must reflect accomplishments achieved during the 2022 Fiscal Year. Nomination packages must reflect: a. How the leadership of nominated junior Sailors has provided an example that others desire to emulate and develops a desire for other Sailors to participate in peer-to-peer mentoring. Provide the total number of 18-25 year-old Sailors onboard, the total number of Sailors involved in the peer- to-peer mentoring program, along with the names, rates, and ranks of the Sailors being recognized. Provide the name of the group or team of Sailors (e.g., unit Junior Petty Officer Association, unit chapter of Coalition of Sailors Against Destructive Decisions, unit chapter of Sailors Against Sexual Harassment and/or Assault, or other similar groups) through which the nominated Sailors worked and describe the group's composition, function, and mission. b. Community leadership through volunteer service and a genuine desire to be better today than they were yesterday, and better tomorrow than they are today. Outstanding examples of character and dedication to service for all to emulate may be documented in submitted letters of appreciation and documented proof of community service hours in the nomination package. c. That the group put the needs of others before the needs or wants of themselves. This may be substantiated through awards or evaluations that show actions were performed that are above and beyond their primary scope of responsibilities in the Navy or in their community to benefit the professional and personal development of others. Provide examples of special programs that were promoted with a description of the event and the level of participation and impact hat enabled the greater success of others. d. Unyielding support of the United States of America and fellow service men and women by having participated in patriotic events that celebrate all who serve our great nation. These events should be documented individually in the nomination to show the depth of participation in various events. e. That the group is, above all else, beyond reproach in the manner in which they conduct themselves, treat others, and live the Navy core values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment. 6. Travel and lodging. Travel to and from as well as lodging at the award site will be the responsibility of the award winner's command. For group recognition awards, consideration should be given to remote participation and/or acceptance by a representative on behalf of the award winning group in order to minimize travel costs. 7. Nominations. Fleet, Force Master Chiefs and Echelon 2 Command Master Chiefs may each nominate one CPO and up to two (one ashore and one afloat) Junior Sailor peer-to-peer mentoring groups from their area of responsibility. Nominations must be submitted on official letterhead and specify confidence in the nominee's professionalism as a representative of the Navy, and validity of the nominee's embodiment of the award criteria specified in paragraphs 4 and 5. 8. Nomination packages. Nomination packages must contain four elements: a. Commanding Officer (CO) endorsement. Each nominee's CO must endorse the nomination and express a commitment to facilitate the nominee's attendance at the award ceremony, if selected. b. Narrative description. Substantiate the nominee's or group's embodiment of the award criteria specified above. This may include quantitative and qualitative data.

Group pictures should include as many participating members as possible. If chosen asthe award recipient, the nominee's biography along with a high- resolution photo will be used in printed and online material to publicize and document the award ceremony.

As sailors assigned to the aircraft carrier George Washington cope with three suicides among their shipmates in the past two weeks, and as the ship continues a lengthy and extended maintenance overhaul in the desolation of Newport News, Virginia--resulting at times in no power or working bathrooms for those living onboard--the Navy’s top enlisted sailor brought a blunt message during a visit Friday. Things could be worse.

San Diego, CA (Tribune News Service) -- Unit commanders in the Navy and Marine Corps will no longer have investigative authority over sexual harassment allegations, according to a department-wide message sent Friday by Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro. Effective immediately, the message says, commanding officers must escalate complaints to the next higher-level commander, who will then appoint an investigating officer. That investigator should be from outside the command and “shall not be familiar with the subject or the complainant,” the message says.

A sailor assigned to USS George Washington (CVN-73) died last week from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on the carrier, USNI News has learned. According to a determination from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of Virginia, Master-at-Arms Seaman Recruit Xavier Hunter Mitchell-Sandor died from suicide by gunshot wound on April 15. A spokeswoman from U.S. Fleet Forces Command would not confirm to USNI News any of the details from the medical examiner about the incident, citing several ongoing investigations into a string of suicides aboard the carrier. A spokesman for the Naval Criminal Investigation Service likewise would not confirm if Mitchell-Sandor was on duty or if the weapon in question belonged to the service, citing an ongoing investigation.

Navy separations due to COVID-19 vaccine refusal dropped over the past week, the result of the injunction preventing the sea service from separating those who applied for religious waivers. The Navy reports approved separations each week in the service’s COVID-19 update. Due to a class-action lawsuit against the Navy and Department of Defense officials, the service cannot separate anyone who submitted a religious exemption request, which halted some of the approved separations, Lt. Travis Callaghan said in an email.

In line with reference (a), this NAVADMIN announces the process and procedures that govern the Hometown Area Recruiting Program (HARP), Officer Hometown Area Recruiting Program (OHARP), and Senior Minority Assistance to Recruiting Program (SEMINAR). In an era of Great Power Competition, these programs play a key role in the recruiting of the Sailors of tomorrow in this tightening labor market and provide a great opportunity to highlight the experiences a candidate can gain from the Navy. 2. Blue Jacket HARP has been suspended due to the lack of funding, however, the remaining programs are still available to eligible officer and enlisted personnel to assist in building Navy awareness. 3. HARP and OHARP return outstanding Navy personnel to their hometowns to temporarily assist local recruiters in locating and enlisting or commissioning qualified individuals. SEMINAR provides assistance to the Navy in its efforts to recruit more African American, Hispanic and Asian Pacific Islander applicants and to enhance the Navy image in these communities. 4. HARP is a non-funded program in which enlisted personnel return to their hometowns for 12 days (beginning on Monday and ending on Friday the following week) to assist local recruiters by relating their Navy experiences to their peers. Participants should be prepared to visit high schools, prior places of employment and community locations where peers gather to discuss Navy opportunities while wearing the uniform of the day. Service Members who participate in the program may do so either on permissive, no-cost temporary additional duty (TEMADD) orders or while on leave in conjunction with permanent change of station (PCS) orders. 5. Blackout dates are the week of Thanksgiving, last 2 weeks of December and the first week of January. During these dates, no HARP requests will be approved. 6. Service Members requesting to participate in HARP duty in conjunction with PCS orders shall submit HARP requests to Navy Recruiting Command (NAVCRUITCOM) (N1) 6-9 months prior to the desired date (before PCS orders are finalized). NAVCRUITCOM (N1) shall submit all approved HARP requests to the Service Members detailer, who will place the appropriate accounting category code within the no-cost TEMADD orders. Service Members will not be entitled to reimbursement for any travel, transportation, per diem or miscellaneous expenses connected with HARP duty. Participants must obtain Administrative Remarks (NAVPERS 1070/613) from the station leading petty officer or leading chief petty officer, signed by the commanding officer of the Navy Talent Acquisition Group (NAVTALACQGRU) where the Service Member was assigned, documenting the Service Members participation in HARP. Upon reporting to the next duty station, such documentation will constitute the authority for this duty. 7. OHARP returns Navy officers to their hometown areas for 14 to 90 days to assist officer recruiters in locating individuals for Navy officer programs. Participants should be prepared to accompany the NAVTALACQGRU officer recruiters on visits to colleges and universities, centers of influence and community events. They will wear the uniform of the day and will be expected to discuss Navy opportunities and career paths. Command career counselors will serve as the command point of contact for program participation. 8. SEMINAR was established to provide assistance to the Navy in its effort to recruit more minority applicants and to enhance Navy image in underrepresented communities. SEMINAR temporarily returns highly qualified officers and senior enlisted personnel, E6 through O6, to their home communities for 20 days to meet with local community leaders, high school and college students to discuss the vast educational, career and advancement opportunities the Navy offers. 9. Additional Information a. Detailed requirements for each program are listed on the Navy Recruiting Command (NRC) webpage https://www.cnrc.navy.mil/ and should be reviewed thoroughly by commands prior to HARP, OHARP or SEMINAR submission. The webpage provides topic-specific information such as: (1) An overview of the programs. (2) Where to find the forms for program participation and submission. b. For information regarding HARP/OHARP and SEMINAR: (1) Visit https://www.cnrc.navy.mil. (2) Under the CNRC webpage select *NRC Links*. (3) Select *HARP/OHARP/SEMINAR*. 10.

REF E IS COMNAVRESFORINST 3060.7D// RMKS/1. Purpose. This ALNAVRESFOR directs members, identified in paragraph 5, assigned to Navy Reserve Centers (NRCs) at all Navy Reserve Region Readiness and Mobilization Commands (REDCOMs) to participate in the Navy Reserve Mobilization-to-Billet Exercise (M2BX) starting 25APR2022 and ending 30MAY2022 in accordance with the mobilization exercise planning guidance and timeline of reference (a). 2. Background. In 2021, Commander, Navy Reserve Force planned, executed, and completed three mobilization exercises (MOBEXs) to develop, test, and evaluate distributed activation (DA) and distributed deactivation (DDA) processes. In September 2021, a new construct for mobilization named Adaptive Mobilization (AM) was conceptually approved by the Chief of Naval Personnel (CNP) and the Chief of Navy Reserve (CNR). AM was designed to satisfy both steady-state and mass activation requirements and encompasses all processes of DA, distributed mobilization (DM), distributed de-mobilization (DDM), and DDA. The AM construct was announced via reference (b). The forces must continue to execute and leverage readiness improvement initiatives directed in references (c) and (d). FY22 MOBEXs are designed to evaluate the progress to drive readiness across the force as well as develop and improve AM processes. M2BX is the second exercise in the series for FY22. 3. Commander's Intent. Commander, Navy Reserve Forces Command (CNRFC) executes AM to mobilize designated personnel for both (1) mass activation in support of long-term strategic competition as well as (2) steady-state and emergent ad hoc augmentation. Exercises evaluate and improve mobilization processes and readiness for strategic competition. To that end, Mass Activation Exercises (MAX), Mobilization-to-Billet Exercise (M2BX), integration into a Fleet Exercise (FLTX) and planning for Navy Reserve participation in Large Scale Exercise (LSE) 2023 were directed in reference (a). 4. Execute. CNRFC will execute M2BX with all members identified in paragraph 5, and their associated REDCOMs and NRCs (TRUIC). A. Unit members identified in this message will complete mobilization requirements in coordination with their NRC. In-person activation at the NRC is at the direction of the REDCOM and NRC. REDCOMs and NRCs may elect to perform virtual activation if appropriate. B. Simulations and clarifications (1) NRCs are directed to execute all normal mobilization processes and procedures while conducting M2BX. No items should be simulated unless otherwise directed herein. (2) Individual mobilization status (IMS) codes (R##, RC1, RC2, etc) will not be entered in NSIPS. IMS code changes associated with M2BX will be simulated. (3) Orders for M2BX will not be available in the Navy and Marine Corps Mobilization Processing System (NMCMPS). Members will simulate obtaining orders from NMCMPS by downloading an orders/instruction template in the required documents section of the CNRFC N15 Distributed Activation SharePoint Portal. https://private. navyreserve.navy.mil/cnrfc/N-Codes/N1/covid/Pages/default.aspx (CAC required). (4) If a member meets the requirements for mobilization cancellation per Reference (e), the NRC will submit a cancellation request with all required information to CNRFC N35 via their REDCOM using the CNRFC N35 Mobilization Cancellation Request Portal. https://private.navyreserve.navy.mil/cnrfc/N-Codes/N3/ mobilizationportal/mobcanx/Pages/Home.aspx (CAC required). The cancellation request will include language to identify that this cancellation is for the M2BX (i.e. M2BX - EXERCISE EXERCISE EXERCISE - M2BX). (5) The following NAVPERS 1300/22 checklist clarifications are provided: a. Section 2, Part 1.l: Simulate selecting "IA Option" in PRIMS. b. Section 2, Part 1.o: PRD extensions will not be granted for M2BX. NRC communications with NAVRESFORCOM (N12) will include language to identify that the request is part of an exercise. (i.e. M2BX - EXERCISE EXERCISE EXERCISE - M2BX). c. Section 2, Part 1.q: Per COMNAVRESFORNOTE 3060, deployment readiness training (DRT) is required of all SELRES every 3 years. Participants not in compliance will coordinate with their NRA to attend the next available training to ensure that the highest levels of mobilization readiness are maintained. d. Section 2, Part 1.r: Simulate CCC or transition officer (TO) uploading DD eForm 2648 to DMDC. All other portions of this step will be completed. C. NRCs and participating unit members will find the required documents (including exercise orders) on the CNRFC N15 Distributed Activation SharePoint Portal (link provided in paragraph 4.B.(3) above). After selecting the appropriate "mob workflow," members will find required documents under the appropriate tab. Pay packet documents are expected to be 100% complete and accurate prior to submission.

That investigation substantiated sexual harassment, maltreatment and hostile work environment allegations against Cmdr. Phillip Lundberg, the former XO of LCS Omaha, but it also found that the ship’s onetime commanding officer, Cmdr. Richard Zamberlan, failed to rein in his deputy.
