  3. UNCLASSIFIED ROUTINE R 182134Z MAR 22 MID200001587848U FM CNO WASHINGTON DC TO NAVADMIN INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC BT UNCLAS NAVADMIN 075/22 PASS TO OFFICE CODES: FM CNO WASHINGTON DC//N1// INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC//N1// MSGID/GENADMIN/CNO WASHINGTON DC/N1/MAR// SUBJ/GUIDANCE FOR CY-22 FULL SPEED AHEAD 3.0 TRAINING// REF/A/DOC/TF1N FINAL REPORT// AMPN/REF A IS TASK FORCE ONE NAVY FINAL REPORT// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN provides guidance for Full Speed Ahead (FSA) 3.0 training and outlines the recommendations for completion and documentation. 2. Background. FSA 3.0 training builds on the previous courses in the FSA series with continued emphasis on character, competence, leadership, personal and organizational growth. It operationalizes the Culture of Excellence (COE) emphasizing the themes of toughness, trust and connectedness. As with its predecessors, FSA 3.0 training blends scenario-based videos with small group discussions led by command facilitators (CF) or other selected command personnel. 3. Purpose. The Navy has teams with great culture and great performance, but we also see examples of teams with poor culture and weak performance. The gap between our best and our worst performers is too great. To remain the worlds strongest Navy, we must consistently have strong performance. Reference (a) identified the need to have *open, honest and necessary conversations across our Navy* and that *these conversations are vital for our Navy team, as understanding and connection builds teamwork and teamwork builds trust.* FSA 3.0 training enables honest, humble and transparent discussion about current performance and challenges each of us to support others. FSA 3.0 training is designed to apply Navy problem- solving tools and best practices to create opportunities for our teams to progress. The training encourages critical thinking, compels respectful and collaborative discussion, inspires adherence to the Navy Core Values and champions a more complete integration of the core attributes and signature behaviors of the Navy. 4. Training Approach. FSA 3.0 training is discretionary training. While there is no Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV) mandate to conduct FSA 3.0 training, there is a strong anecdotal evidence that the training is both needed and wanted in the Fleet. As such, subordinate commands have the discretion to mandate FSA 3.0 training within their organizations. FSA 3.0 training consists of four (4), 60 to 90 minute modules. Each module is accompanied by facilitation guides for all hands audiences, or rank-specific audiences (Junior Sailors [E-1 through E-4], critical middle Sailors [E-5 through E-8, O-1 through O-4] and senior Sailors [E-9, O-5 and above]). Each module addresses themes and behaviors that are foundational to the Navy’s COE. Each module includes a realistic dramatized video vignette, a documentary video interview segment and facilitated discussion. Each of the four modules can be delivered as stand-alone training, but are most effective in succession as each module builds upon previous modules. Commands are encouraged to allow time between modules to allow for processing and reflection. The four FSA 3.0 training modules are: Module 1: Sailor Identity and Connectedness, Module 2: Trust and Fairness, Module 3: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and Module 4: Sailor Today, Sailor Tomorrow. 5. CF Selection and Training. Although formal certification is not required to deliver FSA 3.0 training, due to the nuanced nature of the discussion FSA 3.0 training elicits, commands are highly encouraged to use previously certified CF to deliver the training, or to send new CF to the FSA 3.0 Train- the-Trainer (TTT) course. There are no specified paygrade requirements for CF, however, all should be exemplary and dynamic command members who have the ability to actively engage Sailors while delivering the FSA 3.0 TTT course materials. Previously certified CF include those personnel who were certified for Bystander Intervention to the Fleet (BI2F-FY15), Chart the Course (CTC-FY16), FSA (FY17) or FSA 2.0 (FY18). Commands may run a report of their qualified CF using the NAVADMIN completions report for the course title NETC-FSA 2.0-CF- CERT in the Fleet Training Management Planning System (FLTMPS). This completion report will reflect all CF certified in fiscal year (FY) 2015, FY16 and FY17 under the prior courses CPPD-BI2F-CF-CERT, NETC-CTC-CF-CERT or NETC-FSA-CF-CERT. a. FSA 3.0 TTT Course. The 21st Century Sailor Office (OPNAV N17) staff will conduct CF training in each of the Navy regions throughout the remainder of FY22. The FSA 3.0 TTT course is designed as initial training for newly designated CF, refresher training for previously certified CF and TTT for the Regional Training Force discussed in subparagraph (b). A morning and afternoon session of the FSA 3.0 TTT course will be offered each day of training. Each session is limited to 30 participants. The FSA 3.0 TTT course is approximately 3 hours long. The FSA 3.0 TTT course schedule is: Naval Region Mid-AtlanticNorfolk, VA29-31 MAR Navy Region EURAFRCENTBahrain11-13 APR Navy Region SouthwestSan Diego, CA19-21 APR Navy Region NorthwestBremerton, WA26-28 APR Navy Region HawaiiPearl Harbor, HI10-12 MAY Navy Region SoutheastJacksonville, FL17-19 MAY Navy Region EURAFRCENTNaples24-26 MAY Navy Region JapanYokosuka, Japan15-17 JUN Navy Region KoreaKorea 21 JUN Navy Region MarianasNimitz Hill, Guam23-24 JUN Navy Region Mid-Atlantic Groton, CT28-30 JUN Navy District Washington Washington, DC12-14 JUL FSA 3.0 TTT course completion will be documented by OPNAV N17 facilitators in FLTMPS within 1-2 weeks of course completion, as *Full Speed Ahead (FSA) 3.0 Command Facilitator Certification (FSA-3.0-CF- CERT).* b. Regional Training Force. FSA 3.0 training is an enduring training and discussion platform. While many commands will execute the training straightaway, others may wait for a pause in operations tempo to execute. Accordingly, OPNAV N17 instructors will train a regional training force, leveraging echelon II-IV subject matter experts. Once trained, the regional training force will be empowered to conduct CF training for echelon V commands in their region. Navy regions should work with base commanders to identify individuals for the Regional Training Force leveraging command climate specialists, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Practitioners, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Officers, Religious Ministry Teams and other COE/command resilience team members. c. Additionally, on the afternoon of the first training day in each region, OPNAV N17 will host an O6 or GS15-led informational session for command triads and other interested leadership to discuss COE-related topics and initiatives. d. Region Point of Contact (POC). Regional commanders shall identify and appoint a local POC to assist OPNAV N17 personnel with registration and logistical coordination to include reserving suitable classroom space and ensuring audio and video capabilities. Once appointed, the POC should work with base commanders in order to ensure widest dissemination to tenant commands to include amplifying registration and logistical information. 6. Training Delivery. CF will deliver FSA 3.0 training as small group, face-to-face discussions. FSA 3.0 training sessions should normally include no more than 30 personnel in order to maximize the advantage of the small group experience. Peer-led sessions are encouraged using the different facilitation guides delineated by rank. a. Training Audience. FSA 3.0 training is strongly recommended for all uniformed Navy personnel and civilians or other service personnel assigned at Navy commands are encouraged to attend consistent with their mission requirements and command direction. b. Training Materials. FSA 3.0 training materials (videos, Facilitator Guide and supporting material), the FSA 3.0 TTT course schedule, regional points of contact and additional resources are available for download at the COE FSA website at (https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Support-Services/21st-Century-Sailor/Culture- of-Excellence/Full-Speed-Ahead/). 7. Documentation. For commands documenting completion of FSA 3.0 training using FLTMPS, learning event completion form each module has a unique course identification number: Full Speed Ahead (FSA) 3.0 Peer Level Training Module 1 (FSA-3.0-M1), Full Speed Ahead (FSA) 3.0 Peer Level Training Module 2 (FSA- 3.0-M2), Full Speed Ahead (FSA) 3.0 Peer Level Training Module 3 (FSA-3.0-M3) and Full Speed Ahead (FSA) 3.0 Peer Level Training Module 4 (FSA-3.0-M4). 8. Assessment. This should not be viewed as *one and done* training. Behavior change takes practice. All commands are encouraged to take ownership of this training by assessing the knowledge and understanding of the topics discussed by Sailors and by making this training a part of day-to- day conversations. The measure of success of this training will be the extent to which Sailors remain engaged up and down the chain of command and continue the conversation among their peers about making good decisions, modeling signature behaviors and treating everyone with dignity and respect. 9. POC are CDR Tracy Less, who can be reached via e-mail at theresa.c.less(at)us.navy.mil and CM1 Bill Root, who can be reached via e-mail at william.e.root23(at)us.navy.mil. 10.

The Active Component and Training and Administration of the Reserves (TAR) cycle is 254 and the Selected Reserve (SELRES) cycle is 110. For board purposes, the Reserve Component (RC) board will consider TAR (cycle 254), SELRES and those serving on voluntary and involuntary recall and mobilization orders (cycle 110). Mobilized individual ready reserve and canvasser recruiter personnel are considered under the SELRES requirements for advancement. This is a change from policy in reference (a). 2. RC Timeline a. 28 February 2022: Individual augmentation evaluations used for time-in-rate (TIR) waivers must have an ending date by this date and must be available to the board. b. 6 May 2022: RC candidates changing ratings must be in their new rating by this date to be considered for selection in the new rating. c. 23 May 2022: Letter to the board (LTB) deadline for the RC E-7 selection board. d. 6 June 2022: RC E-7 selection board convenes.

Eligibility Criteria. Candidates must meet the eligibility requirements outlined in chapters 2 and 11 of reference (a) and this NAVADMIN prior to the scheduled board convening date. All requirements must be reflected in the enlisted master file (EMF) for AC and TAR or inactive manpower and personnel management information system for SELRES, those serving on voluntary and involuntary recall and mobilization orders, mobilized individual ready reserve and canvasser recruiter personnel prior to the board convening. Requirements achieved or posted to the record of the candidates after the scheduled board convening date will be considered late and will not make a candidate eligible for the regularly scheduled board or entitle a candidate to a special selection board. If candidates are deemed ineligible for advancement and invalidated in Navy enlisted advancement system (NEAS) but later regain eligibility, submit a message-formatted e-mail to Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC) (N321) and Selection Board Eligibility Branch (PERS-802) requesting validation of eligibility status and provide an explanation. Eligibility requirements include: a. The name of the candidate appearing on the selection board eligibility list in the correct competitive group on their profile sheet. Candidates should register for e-mail notification for profile sheet updates via MyNavy Portal (MNP) https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion/my-advancement. Select *My Profiles* then *Advancement Profile Sheet- Individuals.* Candidates and commands share equal responsibility to ensure the eligibility list is accurate. Because eligibility status can change without direct notification, candidates should verify their profile sheet on a continuous basis. Commands must verify their examination status verification reports (ESVR) weekly through the projected board adjourn date at the NEAS website via MNP https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion/command-information. Select *Command Advancement Tools* then *Advancement Profile Sheet-ESO.* b. TIR date must be on or before 1 January 2020.

If an early promote (EP) TIR waiver is granted, the evaluation used to grant the EP TIR waiver must be available to the board. c. High year tenure (HYT) waivers must be approved prior to the board convening. In order to be eligible for board consideration, an eligible candidate must have a HYT date in current paygrade of 1 September 2022 or later. Candidates who reach HYT before 1 September 2022 for the next higher paygrade are ineligible for advancement, regardless of any approved HYT waiver. Service Members with an approved HYT date in September 2022 may apply for an additional waiver of their current HYT gate due to the current board results scheduling and terminal leave constraints. HYT waivers will be considered for up to an additional 2 months after 1 September 2022. Requests will be approved on a case-by-case basis. Sailors will submit a command endorsed Navy Personnel 1306/7 enlisted personnel action request (NAVPERS 1306/7) to My Navy Career Center (MNCC) via MyNavy Portal or by emailing the ePAR request directly to askmncc(at)navy.mil. Requests must be approved by 1 June 2022. d. Sailors with a previously approved retirement are automatically removed from board consideration (invalidated), unless the command completes a revalidation of the Sailors retirement prior to selection board convening date by sending an e-mail with a reason for revalidation to PERS-802 to ensure they are considered by the board. See paragraph 208 of reference (a) for fleet reserve request impacts to eligibility. e. Security clearance requirements. See paragraph 203 of reference (a).

  9. (Reuters) - A U.S. Navy flight officer convicted last year of lying about his purchase of two pistols for a Chinese national was sentenced on Wednesday to four years in prison. Fin Yang, a 37-year-old lieutenant in the U.S. Navy trained in anti-submarine warfare, was found guilty by a federal court jury in Florida of buying the guns for the head of a Chinese defense contracting firm who employed his wife.
  10. (Tribune News Service) — Naval Air Station Oceana will open its gates to the public for its annual air show in September for the first time since the pandemic started — and this year will bring the Navy’s Blue Angels aerobatic team back to Hampton Roads. And the Blue Angels will be flying new planes — the same F/A-18E and F SuperHornets that are on the Oceana flight line and that are currently flying from Norfolk-based USS Harry S. Truman over NATO’s eastern flank. The Blue Angels haven’t performed at Oceana since 2018.
  11. (Tribune News Service) — More than two dozen Navy SEALs and other service members, who said the Department of Defense has punished them for refusing the COVID-19 vaccination due to religious reasons, are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold a preliminary injunction issued in January that sided with the military members. "The Navy service members in this case seek to vindicate the very freedoms they have sacrificed so much to protect," wrote U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor, of Fort Worth, who issued the injunction, which has been upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
  12. A US Navy sailor allegedly gunned down his wife’s lover after catching the pair having sex in their Virginia home, court documents show. Tyler Lamar Jenkins, 26, was charged with second-degree murder in Friday’s fatal shooting of Timothy Paul Talley III, 28, at the married couple’s home in Virginia Beach, police said in a statement.
  13. NAPLES, Italy — A U.S. Navy Reserve commander living in Naples faces bribery and fraud charges after federal prosecutors said he admitted to writing fake recommendation letters for Afghan nationals seeking visas to live in America. Cmdr. Jeromy Pittmann, 53, of Pensacola, Fla., appeared in a New Hampshire U.S. district court on Friday, the Justice Department said in a statement that day. If convicted, Pittmann faces up to 20 years in prison.
  14. WASHINGTON, D.C. — There’s enough space and weight margin aboard the Zumwalt-class destroyers to install two tubes for hypersonic missiles without removing the ship’s 155mm gun mounts, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday told USNI News last month. By 2025, the first 16,000-ton Zumwalt-class destroyer will have at least two sets of missile tubes inserted on the port and starboard sides of the ship without having to remove the guns mounts, he said.
  15. The U.S. Navy conducted an air demonstration with carrier aircraft on Tuesday in the Yellow Sea following the recent launches of North Korea intercontinental ballistic missiles, according to U.S. 7th Fleet. The demonstration was carried out in international airspace by Navy F/A-18E/F Super Hornets and Marine F-35C Lightning II Joint Strike Fighters aircraft from USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72), along with regionally-based U.S. Air Force aircraft. The statement said the launches of the ICBM North Korea on Feb. 27 and March 5 are a brazen violation of multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions as well as its international commitments and pose a threat to regional neighbors and the international community.
  16. VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — A U.S. Navy sailor who was high on drugs used a dumbbell to kill a man last week in Virginia Beach, police say. The victim was found dead Friday morning at an apartment complex in the 1200 block of Edenham Court, at the Eastwick Village Apartments near the Chesapeake line. Police originally listed his death as suspicious before announcing they were investigating the case as a homicide.

  18. PENSACOLA, Fla. – A Sailor with Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 22 is speaking out about her experience using the Navy’s Tuition Assistance (TA) Program and encouraging her fellow Sailors to take advantage of the educational opportunities available to them. Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Monique Baskins, who serves as the command’s Substance Abuse Counselor, and recently transferred from Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command Meridian, began her Navy career with an associate degree, and always knew she wanted to attain a bachelor’s degree while in the Navy. Baskins’ parents were the motivation for making education a priority, and she wishes to instill that same enthusiasm in others. “My motivation is from family values, but over the years as I have grown, it also became intrinsic,” said Baskins. “It is important to me to continue growing and to also be a positive role model for my children as well as my junior Sailors and peers.” Baskins was introduced to TA by a fellow Sailor and as a petty officer third class, began the process for TA. “I worked for leadership that was a proponent of education,” said Baskins. “And the process to apply for and use TA has always been easy, from my perspective. It has gotten better over the years that I have been using it, but the gist of it has stayed the same and I have not had any issues.” Many Sailors echo this sentiment and often speak well of the good customer service they receive from the Navy College Virtual Education Center (NCVEC). In fact, the NCVEC received the top award for the LiveHelpNow Customer Service Challenge for 2021 in the federal government category. The most challenging part for Baskins was simultaneously juggling her duties as a Sailor and her responsibilities as a wife and mother, while also pursuing her degree. “The Navy does encourage education, but at the same time, the responsibilities one has as a Sailor do not diminish,” said Baskins. “Therefore, it takes internal motivation and dedication to maintain the expectations that the Navy has as well as pursue your personal goals.” For Baskins, rising to the challenge only made her more capable and accomplished. “I believe that if a Sailor is able to do this, it in turn helps them become resilient and diverse in challenging situations, both personal and professional,” said Baskins. Now with 18 years of service in the Navy, and a bachelor’s and master’s degree, Baskins often provides advice, similar to the advice she received as a junior Sailor, to Sailors she works with. “I always tell my Sailors, ‘Education does have its benefits when promotion/advancement are being considered,’” said Baskins. “The Navy does its part to help Sailors progress, and knowing that education is an expensive commodity in the civilian sector, TA is just one way that helps Sailors acquire their educational aspirations.” Baskins realizes not everyone may want to get their degree, but believes all Sailors should take advantage of the opportunity and get started toward a higher education goal. “Even if you are not interested in going to school, take one or two classes a year and at least work towards some type of degree,” said Baskins. “Time goes by fast, and you don’t want to be out of the Navy or retired and not have that piece of paper. It does matter once you are no longer wearing the uniform.” For those eligible Sailors interested in continuing their education journey, there are many ways to get started. Sailors can call the NCVEC via the MyNavy Career Center toll free at 1-833-330-MNCC, Monday – Friday, 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. Eastern time. Sailors can also go to the Navy College Assistance Center via the Navy College website, https://www.navycollege.navy.mil, and click “Chat Now” to chat online with a Navy College education counselor. Another option for Sailors is to log in to MyNavy Education and submit an inquiry through the Issue Tracker feature in the top right corner. “Education Counselors are standing by to assist Sailors with any education questions they may have and are always available for counseling to establish plans for education goals of any kind,” said John Begley, an NCVEC supervisor. “It’s important for Sailors to reach out with questions, as we can assist them with a wide range of educational assistance.” As part of the MyNavy HR Force Development team, the Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC) provides products and services that enable and enhance education, training, career development and personnel advancement throughout the Navy. Primary elements of the command include the Voluntary Education Department, the Navy Advancement Center and the Resources Management Department.

  21. The U.S. Naval Community College officially began accepting applications for its Military Studies and Nuclear Engineering Technology associate degree programs Sunday, Mar. 6, at 8 a.m. EST. QUANTICO, Va. — The U.S. Naval Community College officially began accepting applications for its Military Studies and Nuclear Engineering Technology associate degree programs Sunday, Mar. 6, at 8 a.m. EST. These are the first two degrees the USNCC offer made available to active duty enlisted Sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen and Coast Guard Reservists as a part of the Department of the Navy’s initiative to develop a naval-relevant community college focused on enlisted education. “This is an opportunity for pioneering men and women in our naval services to be amongst the first enlisted leaders to earn a naval-relevant degree through the USNCC,” said USNCC’s President Randi R. Cosentino, Ed.D. “These Sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen will be a part of making the future of the services’ enlisted education with quality degrees in coordination with military-friendly schools.” Both of these degrees include the Naval Studies certificate, a five-course, fifteen-credit program based on naval sciences courses taught in the U.S. Naval Academy and Naval ROTC programs. These 15 credits are applied to the associate degree programs and count towards the required courses for each degree. The courses include Naval Ethics and Leadership, Modern Naval History, Naval Force Design and Concepts, Civilian and Military Organization and Policies, and the certificate capstone course Introduction to Geopolitics. The Associate of Arts in Military Studies is a 60-credit program completed in part with Arizona State University. The Associate of Science in Nuclear Engineering Technology is a 63-credit degree program completed in part through Alexandria Technical and Community College. Both degrees are completed completely online and both have established pathways to a relevant four-year degree with little to no loss of credit. “This degree will help you to better understand your role on the national and international level,” said Sgt. Maj. Michael Hensley, USNCC’s senior enlisted leader, about the military studies degree. “This will help you to develop the critical thinking skills needed to make the most effective decisions at the lowest level of leadership, especially when it matters.” The Nuclear Engineering Technology degree fully transfers into an ABET-accredited Bachelor of Science in Nuclear Energy Engineering Technology upon completion. This means that the service members who complete this degree will be eligible to sit for the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam. “The Nuclear Engineering Technology degree program is designed with the Navy’s nuclear power program in mind and will accept many of the credits earned through the nuclear power training program,” said Hensley. “This is a great opportunity for those Sailors looking to advance their nuclear engineering technology knowledge in the context of submarine patrols and freedom of navigation operations on the geopolitical level.” Active duty enlisted Sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen and Coast Guard Reservists can fill out an application on the USNCC website, www.usncc.edu . The first courses will start in June 2022. The United States Naval Community College is the official community college for the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard.

  22. WASHINGTON - The Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday announced his selection for the 16th Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON), during the Navy Flag Officer & Senior Executive Service (NFOSES) symposium at the United States Naval Academy, March 10. Fleet Master Chief James Honea, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command senior enlisted leader, will assume responsibilities from MCPON Russell Smith during a change of office ceremony scheduled, Sept. 8. Gilday made the announcement to Navy Flag officers, Senior Executive Service members, and Fleet Master Chiefs attending NFOSES. “I selected Fleet Master Chief Honea because he has saltwater in his veins, embodies Navy values in every fiber of his being, and is the right leader to inspire and motivate our Chiefs Mess to continue to be the best in the world,” said Gilday. “I know he and I will work together to take care of our Sailors and ensure our Navy is the most formidable across the globe.” Honea was selected based on career performance, progression and his experience leading Sailors. According to Gilday, he is the most capable person to advocate on behalf of Sailors, the fleet, and their families. During this time of strategic competition, Honea’s fleet experience, which spans nearly every area of responsibility, will help our people to maintain our competitive advantage. Honea enlisted in 1987 and rose through the ranks as a Boatswain’s Mate, serving at sea aboard USS Juneau (LPD 10), USS Dubuque (LPD 8), and USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6). His command master chief tours include USS Gridley (DDG 101), USS New Orleans (LPD 18), Naval Support Activity South Potomac and U.S. Naval Forces South Korea. Most recently he served as fleet master chief of U.S. Pacific Fleet. Smith assumed duties as the 15th MCPON on August 29, 2018.

MILLINGTON, TN, UNITED STATES 03.09.2022 Story by Petty Officer 2nd Class Jared Catlett Navy Personnel Command Senior enlisted leaders, manning representatives from across the Navy, and detailers wrapped up a virtual manning summit March 4 focused on identifying and filling critical chief petty officer leadership gaps at sea and critical shore assignments. Navy Personnel Command hosted the event, which examined nearly 2,500 records of chiefs assigned to billets below their paygrade, are in excess aboard their current command, or possess critical leadership and expertise skills. Representatives from aviation, surface and submarine forces, special warfare and joint commands worked with NPC detailers and placement personnel to identify opportunities to align chiefs to jobs. “The goal, put simply, is to align the maximum number of chiefs to chief billets,” said NPC Force Master Chief Chris Detje. “This summit allowed fleets and type commanders to work with NPC in filling their most impactful gapped billets with the right people.” In October, NPC hosted a similar manning summit to realign master chief and senior chief billets. Summit participants looked carefully at each chief’s record to not only identify opportunities but to make sure a move made sense, Detje added. “Sailors with critical NECs, filling an overseas DoD tour, or who have pending or approved fleet reserve requests are likely to remain in their current command,” he said. “Family situations such as spouse co-location, and the exceptional family member program are also factors that may prevent movement.” Of the nearly 2,500 chiefs whose records were examined, 183 received an adjusted planned rotation date, 220 are expected to crossdeck to another command, and 223 were realigned to a valid billet at their current or prospective command. Detje said those with local moves or realignments can expect orders within 60 days. Those requiring funded geographic moves will have longer to arrange household goods moves. Report dates will be based on timing for moves, with some later than others if, for instance, a chief is expected to go into a currently occupied billet where the current billet holder will not detach for a while. Detailers will contact those selected for moves and realignments. Sailors can expect the move process to begin as soon as April.
