SAN DIEGO, Calif. – Four senior enlisted sailors and a junior officer are facing charges for their alleged role in releasing government video footage from aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) showing the ramp strike of an F-35C Lighting II Joint Strike Fighter last month, USNI News has learned. Following the investigation into the leak of a cell phone video recording the crash from Vinson’s Pilot’s Landing Aid Television (PLAT), the Navy has charged one senior chief, three chiefs and an ensign with failure to obey a lawful order under Article 92 the Uniform Code of Military Justice, Cmdr. Zach Harrell a spokesperson for Naval Air Forces told USNI News.

WASHINGTON — The Navy has been ordered to review and potentially upgrade thousands of general and other-than-honorable discharges dating back to 2012, according to a lawsuit settlement approved by a federal judge. The Navy Discharge Review Board must reconsider thousands of cases where upgrades were denied, despite evidence that veterans were struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury or military sexual trauma when they separated from the military, according to the settlement approved Monday.

Veterans and their spouses are eligible for free training programs offered by NPower. NPower’s program has served more than 1,600 Veterans and military spouses with free tech training, professional development, social and mental health support, assistance navigating VA benefits, paid learning opportunities and job placements – all for aiding participants into a successful career in tech.

CORONADO, Calif. — The main entrance to Naval Air Station North Island near San Diego was closed Tuesday after a motorist was found with bomb-making materials, a military spokesman said.

(CNN)A US Navy aircraft had an "extremely close" encounter with multiple Russian military jets over international waters in the Mediterranean this weekend, according to multiple US officials directly familiar with the US military reports of the incident. The sources would not detail precisely how close the Russian aircraft came to the US Navy P-8 maritime patrol aircraft or where precisely the encounter occurred, but the maneuvers by the Russians were described as "unsafe and unprofessional."

ABOARD AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS CARL VINSON, OFF THE COAST OF CALIFORNIA – The crew of aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) were trained and prepared to effectively handle the F-35C Lighting II Joint Strike Fighter crash that took place in the South China Sea last month, officials recently told USNI News. After replacing the four arresting wires 30 to 45 minutes following the crash, the carrier was quickly ready to recover aircraft again, according to a defense official.

The commanding officer of Navy Talent Acquisition Group New Orleans, Cmdr. Chris Brown, was relieved of command Feb. 10, 2022, by Capt. Butch Smith, Region Central Commodore, due to loss of confidence in his ability to command. The loss of confidence is a result of actions leading to a Jan. 23, 2022 arrest for driving while intoxicated and other traffic-related charges in St. Tammany, Louisiana. Brown will be reassigned to Navy Reserve Center New Orleans. Cmdr. Dave Pavlik, Region Central Deputy Commodore, will assume the duties of commanding officer of NTAG New Orleans until a permanent relief is identified.

This NAVADMIN announces: a. PRIMS-2 will be available for the Calendar Year 2022 (CY2022) Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA). b. Revised forearm plank standards. c. Provides additional guidance for the CY2022 PFA. 2. PFA Cycle 2022. The cycle will be conducted from 1 April to 30 September 2022 in line with references (a) and (b). All medically cleared Sailors will participate in all three fitness modalities (push-ups, forearm plank, cardio or alternate cardio) to determine their CY2022 PFA cycle overall score. Forearm planks will count for PFA score. Physical Readiness Guides to include references (c) through (e) are located at: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Support-Services/21st-Century-Sailor/Physical- Readiness/Guides/. a. The Physical Readiness Office will open the PFA Cycle 2022 in February 2022. This PFA Cycle will be labeled PFA Cycle 1 2022 in PRIMS-2. b. Sailors will have access to physical readiness information through MyNavy Portal My Records and will electronically submit their Physical Activity Risk Factor Questionnaire (PARFQ) via MyNavy Portal upon their respective commands 10-week notification. This is a change from the previous version of PRIMS. c. Revised Forearm Plank Standards. (1) We learned from an analysis of 26,000 forearm plank records from the CY2021 PFA that Sailors performed well overall, there is a minor gender performance differential. (2) As a result, we revised the forearm plank standards to be gender specific (i.e., separate male and female scoring tables) with a gradual age group stratification. The Updated male and female forearm plank standards can be found in reference (d). PFA calculators in both MyNavy Portal and the official PFA App are scheduled to be updated prior to 1 April 2022. d. Command Fitness Leaders (CFLs) and Assistant CFLs (ACFLs) guidance: (1) CFL/ACFLs will enter PFA data into PRIMS-2 for the PFA Cycle 2022. (2) Prior to 1 April 2022, CFLs will be able to verify command rosters, assign members to departments and divisions, see commands reports and release/gain Sailors. (3) On 1 April, CFL/ACFLs may enter scores into PRIMS-2. CFL/ACFLs are prevented from entering scores until the PFA cycle commences. (4) The number of ACFLs having access to PRIMS-2 for data entry will be limited based on command size (1 per 100 members due to licensing costs) and is different than the required number of ACFLs per command to effectively administer the PFA (1 per 25 members). (5) CFLs should refer to reference (e) for detailed guidance. e. PRIMS-2 Training. PRIMS-2 training will be offered bi-monthly for CFLs and ACFLs via Microsoft Teams. Requests for training should be submitted to PRIMS(at)navy.mil. Familiarization training materials are posted on the Physical Readiness program (PRP) website at: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Support-Services/21st-Century-Sailor/Physical- Readiness/ and also available to back-end users (CFL, ACFL, and Special User) via PRIMS-2. f. Validation. Sailors who meet the criteria for *validation* in PFA Cycle 1 2022 will be eligible for exemption from participation in the PRT portion of PFA Cycle 1 2023 provided Sailors meet Age Adjusted Standards for the Body Composition Assessment (BCA) (i.e. everyone needs to take the BCA). This validation is contingent upon the Navy conducting two PFA cycles in 2023. g. COVID-19 Environment. The PFA Cycle 1 2022 will be conducted using procedures outlined in reference (c) and based on local health protection conditions (HPCON). CFLs will adhere to all local HPCON safety measures prior to execution of the PFA. 3. PRIMS-2. To gain access to PRIMS-2, the following must be provided to PRIMS(at)navy.mil: a.

The purpose of this NAVADMIN is to reinforce and refocus efforts around the current mid-term performance counseling practices which serves as a key component of the Navys performance evaluation system. In line with reference (a), supervisors are required to conduct performance counseling with their Sailors at least twice per year - at the midpoint of the periodic report cycle and when the report is signed. 2. The Chief of Naval Personnel (CNP) is dedicated to the improvement of performance counseling Navy-wide. Updates to mid- term performance counseling have been documented in chapter 18 of the recently released update to reference (a). The instruction provides the following updates: a. Clarifies that mid-term performance counseling is mandatory. b. Instructs members and supervisors on how to prepare for mid-term counseling. c. Instructs members and supervisors on how to conduct and receive mid-term counseling. d. Instructs members and supervisors on how to give and receive feedback during performance counseling. e. Introduces the use of the Military Individual Development Plan (IDP) (NAVPERS 1610/19) as an optional tool to track progress on established professional and personal goals. f. Introduces the use of the Mid-term Counseling Checklist (NAVPERS 1610/20) to serve as a guide to help organize, prepare and conduct performance counseling conversations. g. Preparation requirements for both the supervisor and member prior to conducting the performance counseling session. h. Provides five steps for the supervisor to follow during a performance counseling session. i. Incorporates from the MyNavy Coaching Initiative the three core coach-like skills of active listening, empathy and asking powerful, open- ended questions during performance counseling conversations. 3. Updates to reference (a) also includes training on mid-term performance counseling via a webinar comprised of four self-paced modules approximately 90 minutes in length. The training can be found at the MyNavy HR website: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Performance-Evaluation/MidTerm_Counseling/. To maximize the value of performance counseling, it is recommended that all hands review this training within 90 days of release of this NAVADMIN. 4. An infographic/kneeboard card with a list of five questions is provided for supervisors and members to reference during mid-term performance counseling conversations (*Engaging in Performance Counseling for Supervisors/Members*). These questions serve as the foundation to promote greater member engagement and provide quality feedback to ensure open bi- directional communication and increased self-awareness. Members are encouraged to print their own infographic/kneeboard by visiting: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Performance- Evaluation/MidTerm_Counseling/. 5. Refocusing mid-term performance counseling will empower Sailors to take accountability for their own development. Engaging in these developmental conversations ultimately will have an impact on winning the Strategic Competition and on retention - by keeping our most valuable assets - our Sailors in the Navy. More importantly, great leaders lead by example, and we owe it to our Sailors to invest in their continued performance and growth. 6. Points of Contact.

This NAVADMIN replaces reference (a) and announces the policy and guidance for Calendar Year (CY) 2022 Season one Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP) for Active Duty (Active Component and Training and Administration of the Reserve (TAR)) Sailors. MAP season one will run from 1 March through 15 April 2022. 2. MAP will account for approximately 20 percent of total advancements during CY22, with roughly half of the available MAP quotas allocated for each of two MAP seasons during the year. The two-season framework aligns MAP with the NWAE to ensure any unused MAP quotas are included in the NWAE cycle, and to emphasize the intent of MAP to select and reward top performing Sailors. To meet required time-in-rate for MAP advancement eligibility, Sailors must have a date of rank no later than the following: a. E-5: 1 January 2021 b. E-5 (Nuclear-Trained Sailors): 1 January 2020 c. E-4 and below: No TIR requirement 3. In order to control over-advancing particular rate-paygrade combinations and maintain rating health, MAP advancement to AO3 and RS3 for Active Duty Sailors will be controlled as outlined in paragraph 6. 4. In line with reference (b), MAP advancement to ABH2, ABF2, GSM2 and CS2 for Active Component Sailors is not authorized due to new advancement opportunities available within the Detailing Marketplace Assignment Policy (DMAP) for those rates beginning 1 March 22. Visit MyNavy HRs DMAP website, located at https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Detailing/Enlisted/Detailing-Marketplace/, for more information. 5. Commands are required to have two Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) MAP user roles (command reviewer and command reporting senior) in order to submit MAP advancement(s), exception(s) to policy (ETP) and additional MAP quota requests through NSIPS. NSIPS Web Afloat users and commands without access to NSIPS should refer to paragraph 5a for instructions on submitting their MAP advancements. The system will use authoritative data to determine eligibility, however, commands are still required to locally validate that MAP candidates have successfully completed the professional military knowledge eligibility examination requirement prior to the first day of the MAP season (1 March 2022), as outlined in reference (c). For training on user roles, log into NSIPS via https://www.nsips.navy.mil and click on training tab, then click MAP tutorial (JPA). a. NSIPS Web Afloat users and commands without access to NSIPS must submit a MAP nomination request via e-mail directly to their immediate superior in charge (ISIC), type commander (TYCOM) or budget submitting office (BSO)/echelon II command using the meritorious certification letter (MCL). The letter must be signed by the commanding officer and should address any ETP and/or additional quotas requested. Sample MCLs and detailed information regarding the offline process can be found via MyNavy Portal (MNP) at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion/a-enlisted-advancement-resources-and-links, then select the *Websites* tab in the blue banner, and then select the MAP homepage. b. Quota usage, modifications and distribution will be managed within the NSIPS environment. BSO and command quotas will be uploaded into NSIPS on 20 February 2022 and can be found under the quota summary report tab. Quotas can also be found via MNP at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion/a-enlisted-advancement-resources-and-links, then select the *Websites* tab in the blue banner, and then select the MAP homepage. c. Additional quotas can be requested using the quota request option by the command reviewer user role. Commands must contact their BSO to determine timeline for additional quota requests. Whether or not command quotas are authorized, all commands have the opportunity to request quotas from their BSO/echelon II command, via their ISIC and TYCOM, unless the rating is not authorized for MAP in line with paragraphs 3 above. d. NSIPS will automatically determine if an ETP is required using predetermined criteria. Service Members in ratings requiring security clearances and rates/pay grades requiring time in rate TIR waivers will be automatically routed for adjudication. The request will be routed through the ISIC, TYCOM, and BSO/echelon II command using a hierarchical workflow. e. NSIPS will not automatically generate an ETP for Nuclear-trained Service Members. Commands desiring to advance a nuclear-trained Service Member not meeting the TIR requirement must request an ETP to Director, Military Personnel Plans and Policy (OPNAV N13) via the Nuclear Program Manager (OPNAV N133). 6. MAP Advancements in Controlled Rates. Commands desiring to MAP a Sailor to AO3 or RS3 must submit a request to their BSO, via their ISIC and TYCOM, using the quota request option in NSIPS. If the command does not have access to NSIPS, they should follow the procedures in paragraph 5a. BSOs will be granted MAP quotas for each rate based on the proportion of the billets authorized (BA) at the lower paygrade of that rate under that BSO. If there are not enough quotas for all BSOs with BA for the lower paygrade, the quotas will be allocated to the BSOs with the largest amount of BA for the lower paygrade. BSOs will be contacted by BUPERS-32 to inform them of how many of their assigned quotas shall be used only for the specified rates. Commands will submit requests to the BSOs using the template provided on the MAP homepage via MNP at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement- and-promotion/a-enlisted-advancement-resources-and-links, then select the *Websites* tab in the blue banner, and then select the MAP homepage. 7.

Commands will be able to meritoriously advance Sailors this spring between March 1 and April 15 as the Navy announced the Calendar Year 2022 Meritorious Advancement Season One details in NAVADMIN 038/22 on Feb. 15. The intent of Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP) is to select the most qualified Sailors to advance to the next paygrade outside of the advancement cycles. Deckplate leaders observing Sailors daily know them best. Through MAP, the Navy gives those leaders a voice in the advancement process by allowing commands to move up their most deserving Sailors twice each year, aligned with the semi-annual Navy-wide advancement exam cycles. Ahead of the application window, the Navy will release this season's quotas by unit identification code in the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) on February 20. MAP Quotas by Unit Identification Code, along with example forms and frequently asked questions, are available on MyNavy Portal https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion/a-enlisted-advancement-resources-and-links. Once on the site, select "Websites" tab in the blue banner. To control over-manning and maintain rating health, MAP advancement to the AO3 and RS3 rates will be controlled. Meritorious advancements in these rates are still possible, but approval is through a separate process regulated by the Fleet Commanders. Requesting quotas for the controlled rates is outlined within the NAVADMIN. Any unused MAP quotas will then factor into those available for the fall NWAE cycle. MAP advancement to ABH2, ABF2, GSM2 and CS2 is not authorized because these rates have new advancement opportunities under the Detailing Marketplace Assignment Policy beginning 1 March. These include Advance to Position and Command Advance to Position. More information can be found in NAVADMIN 280/21, Detailing Marketplace Assignment Policy (DMAP) or on the MyNavy HR website DMAP section, located at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion/a-enlisted-advancement-resources-and-links. The preferred way for commands to request all MAP advancements is through NSIPS. Those without access to NSIPS must submit their Meritorious Certification Letters by e-mail through their chain of command within the same time frames. One reminder for commands is that Sailors being meritoriously advanced must have completed their required Professional Military Knowledge Eligibility Examination before the first day of the MAP season which is 1 March 2022. As has been the case in recent years, meritorious advancements will account for roughly 20 percent of all E-4 through E-6 promotions during the 2022 calendar year – approximately half allocated for each of the two seasons during the year.

SAN DIEGO - Two logistics specialists assigned to Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Atlantic were chosen as the top enlisted Sailors for Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021. Logistics Specialist First Class (LS1) John Eddington and Logistics Specialist Second Class (LS2) Danetria Cotton were named NAVWAR Sailor and Junior Sailor of the Year, respectively, at a ceremony Feb. 4 at NAVWAR Headquarters. Selected from a field of exceptional performers, NAVWAR Sailor of the Year is a prestigious honor recognizing Sailors who embody sustained superior performance, command impact, proven leadership and the Navy’s core values. “LS1 Eddington and LS2 Cotton truly represent the Navy’s core values, demonstrating initiative, loyal devotion to duty, and determination to excel in any situation,” said NAVWAR Commander Rear Adm. Doug Small. “Their dedication and commitment to the mission made them stand out in a field of extraordinary talent and we could not be more proud.” Eddington will be presented with the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal while Cotton received the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal. Eddington distinguished himself through meritorious service as NIWC Atlantic’s Naval Tactical Command Support Systems (NTCSS) Relational Supply Installations team lead, where he established a new digital daily status reporting system, for both NAVWAR and the Navy. With the new reporting system, Eddington successfully submitted almost 300 digital reports, detailing the status of fleet program installations, giving keen insight into the installation process and providing historical lessons learned to ensure the success of current and future installations. Results driven and focused on improving fleet readiness, Eddington worked as a deck plate leader ensuring installation training, acted as an astute mentor to junior Sailors across the fleet, and served as treasurer, now secretary, elected by his peers, in the First Class Petty Officer Mess. Dedicated to self-improvement, Eddington is working towards a bachelor’s degree in business and management and continually volunteers his time, giving back to local communities in need, enhancing morale and community relations on behalf of the NAVWAR and the Navy. “When I found out that I was named Sailor of the Year for NIWC Atlantic and NAVWAR, I felt a deep sense of accomplishment and I was humbled by the recognition,” said Eddington. “I feel privileged to be able to represent my command.” Eddington, in turn, gave credit to those who supported him throughout his career for helping him achieve this success. “I think about all the support of those who assisted me getting to where I am today and I am filled with gratitude for being around so many great people that believe in me,” said Eddington. Cotton said she was overwhelmed with joy when she found out she had been named Junior Sailor of the Year. “It is one of my greatest accomplishments,” said Cotton. Cotton distinguished herself through exceptional performance of her duties, dedicated leadership and technical expertise as NIWC Atlantic’s relational supply (R-supply) division analyst. She provided logistics support to commands both on shore and afloat, resolving over 150 trouble tickets, correcting several R-supply challenges through remote technical assistance, and restoring database functionality to return ships to their full mission capabilities. Cotton was a key player for the End-of-Fiscal-Year Supply Financial close-outs throughout the Fleet. As her division’s Assistant General Military Training (GMT) Coordinator and Training Petty Officer, she helped improve the naval knowledge, standards and readiness of 20 Sailors, including conducting more than 100 hours of in-rate training for five Sailors. As an active volunteer for the Hampton Roads “Meals on Wheels” program, she delivered meals to elderly and disabled residents of the Suffolk County area. NIWC Atlantic Commanding Officer Capt. Nicole Nigro also shared her praise and congratulations for Eddington and Cotton’s achievements. “LS1 Eddington and LS2 Cotton have demonstrated the very best in professionalism. I’m grateful for the leadership and drive they have displayed to bring the very best to NIWC Atlantic’s information warfare mission.”

MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian naval vessel chased away a U.S. submarine in Russian waters in the Pacific after the submarine ignored the ship's orders for it to surface, Interfax news agency cited the defence ministry as saying on Saturday. Russia accused Washington of breaking international law and creating a national security threat over the incident, which came at a time of high tensions between Moscow and Washington over a Russian military buildup near Ukraine.

The executive officer of the future Virginia-class attack submarine Hyman G. Rickover was relieved Friday, according to the Navy. Lt. Cmdr. Jacob Montoya was relieved “due to a loss of confidence” in his ability to carry out his responsibilities, according to Lt. Seth Koenig, a spokesman for Submarine Readiness Squadron 32.
