YOKOSUKA NAVAL BASE, Japan – Military and diplomatic personnel stationed overseas are eligible for free, at-home COVID-19 testing kits the Biden administration began offering every U.S. household on Wednesday. The administration is purchasing 1 billion of the rapid tests, and the first 500 million are now available for free online at COVIDtests.gov. Every home in the United States can order a set of four free tests that usually ships within seven to 12 days, according to the website. www.CovidTests.gov

The Navy should consider buying Arleigh Burke-class destroyers until the technology it wants to install in its next-generation destroyers is ready for prime time, Secretary Carlos Del Toro said. “Perhaps a better strategy might be to build a few more DDG Flight IIIs to ensure that we have the capacity necessary to deter China and do the other things that we need to do until such moment in time when” the DDG(X) and other new ships are ready, he said during the U.S. Navy Memorial’s SITREP event Tuesday.

A former Hawaiʻi attorney general is preparing legal action against the Navy over jet fuel contamination of its Pearl Harbor water supply. Margery Bronster says she is targeting the Navy because it is ultimately responsible for the water crisis. Elisapeta Alaimaleata was born in Samoa. She moved to Hawaiʻi and immediately came to appreciate the state’s pure, natural resources — especially the water.

(Tribune News Service) — When they enlisted in the military, they swore an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, and to obey the orders all the way up to those from the president of the United States. But then, while still in the service, they went on to swear a different allegiance — one to the now extremist, anti-government Oath Keepers. Dozens of military members vowed they would never obey potential government orders that group leaders considered acts of war or cause for a revolution. At least 20 are still serving.

WASHINGTON — The Department of Veterans Affairs failed to thoroughly vet medical providers for its community care program, resulting in doctors with revoked or suspended medical licenses being approved to treat veterans, according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office.

The largest procurement program in the Department of Defense (DOD), the F-35 Lightning II is a strike fighter aircraft being procured in different versions for the United States Air Force, Marine Corps, and Navy. Current DOD plans call for acquiring a total of 2,456 F-35s. Allies are expected to purchase hundreds of additional F-35s, and eight nations are cost-sharing partners in the program with the United States. The F-35 promises significant advances in military capability. Like many high-technology programs before it, reaching that capability has put the program above its original budget and behind the planned schedule.

The Navy and Lockheed Martin are still negotiating the cost breakdown for a fix to the Freedom variant Littoral Combat Ship that has restricted the operations of most ships in the class, a service official said last week. Capt. Andy Gold, the program manager for the Navy’s Littoral Combat Ship, told reporters at the annual Surface Navy Association symposium that the discussions about cost are still ongoing.

ARLINGTON, Va. – The Navy should be piqued more easily by the things it’s not doing well, according to the commander of U.S. Fleet Forces Command. “We need to be offended by not having the right manning. We need to be offended by not getting ships out at the right time,” Adm. Daryl Caudle said at the annual Surface Navy Association conference Jan. 12. “It needs to be palpable, and not just like, ‘Okay,’ and just kind of kick the can down the road.”

Thank you Culinary Specialist 2nd Class Louis Lubin HARRISBURG, Pa. - A Navy culinary specialist won the Army vs. Navy Cook-off at the 106th Pennsylvania Farm Show in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Jan. 13. Culinary Specialist 2nd Class Louis Lubin led a team of local media personalities, Paola Tristan Arruda and Jeremy Jenkins from Harrisburg’s WGAL Channel 8, to create the most appealing dish from surprise ingredients in only 30 minutes. Each team was given ingredients from the PA Preferred program, which identifies and promotes food and agricultural products grown, produced or processed in Pennsylvania. Some of the ingredients were London broil, potatoes, honey, dill flavored hard-boiled eggs, garlic and jalapeno jam. Both teams had to incorporate everything from their surprise bag into the dish. A team of four judges rated the dishes based on taste, presentation, harmony of ingredients, visual appeal, and originality. The judges said Lubin’s London Broil was cooked to perfection and precisely sliced for optimum taste. The Pennsylvania Farm Show is held every January at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex & Expo Center in Harrisburg. It is the largest indoor agricultural event in the United States, offering 24 acres of exhibition space under one roof. The event attracts more than half a million visitors every year. The iron-chef style competition was hosted by Food Network personality Robert Irvine. He helped guide both teams during the competition and engaged the audience with food tips and tricks. “The Navy has more than 8,000 culinary specialists (CSs) serving nutritious, wholesome food every day to support warfighter peak physical and mental performance,” said Cmdr. Leanne Riley, director Navy Food Service, Naval Supply Systems Command. “This competition highlighted the skill of our Navy’s culinary professionals, and was a great way to show how our CSs use innovation to increase effectiveness and efficiency of food service operations.” NAVSUP’s mission is to provide supplies, services, and quality-of-life support to the Navy and joint warfighter. Headquartered in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, and employing a diverse, worldwide workforce of more than 22,500 military and civilian personnel, NAVSUP oversees logistics programs in the areas of supply operations, conventional ordnance, contracting, resale, fuel, transportation, and security assistance.

PASCAGOULA, Miss. (Tribune News Service) — Ingalls Shipbuilding recently reached a significant milestone with the Aegis light-off on the U.S. Navy’s first Flight III Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer Jack H. Lucas (DDG 125). The light-off milestone marks the start of combat system testing as shipbuilders prepare the ship for propulsion tests and, eventually, sea trials.

REF B IS NAVADMIN 274/19, SEA SHORE FLOW ENLISTED CAREER PATHS UPDATE. REF C IS NAVADMIN 395/02, TRAINING AND ADMINISTRATION OF RESERVE SEA SHORE ROTATION TOUR LENGTH REVISION.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN supports references (a) through (c) and announces the assignment optimization plan for active component and training and administration of reserve (TAR) chief petty officers (CPOs). Commander, Navy Personnel Command (COMNAVPERSCOM), Enlisted Assignment Division (PERS-40) will work with the Fleet readiness integrators (FRI), type commanders (TYCOMs) and budget submitting office (BSO) N1 staffs to evaluate all CPOs assigned to billets with incorrect paygrades or those who are not aligned to funded billet requirements. The goal of this optimization plan is to ensure our most experienced enlisted Sailors are aligned to billets which specifically need their training, leadership and experience. This plan will lead to the realignment of CPOs into billets appropriate to their skills and experience. 2. COMNAVPERSCOM will host a virtual senior enlisted manning summit in Millington, TN from 28 February to 4 March 2022. In person groups supporting the virtual summit will be governed by the applicable health protection condition restrictions, see local guidance for specifics. During registration for the summit, attendees have and will be provided with specific risk mitigation instructions. The aim of this summit will be to review all CPO assignments, with the goal of aligning the maximum number of chiefs to chief billets. This summit will allow Fleet and TYCOMs to work with COMNAVPERSCOM to fill their most impactful gapped billets. a. Enlisted Readiness and Placement Branch (PERS-4013) provided a list of misaligned CPOs to the FRIs. The FRIs distributed the list of misaligned Sailors to the TYCOM and BSO N1s. Prior to the summit, PERS-4013 will evaluate CPO billet requirements in MyNavy Assignment (MNA) and, if the billets are filled by Sailors outside of the billet paygrade, the incumbent may be realigned to an in-paygrade requirement or placed in excess aboard the current command. This will ensure that personnel assignment stakeholders have a clear demand signal of valid CPO requirements. After completion of the summit, if CPOs are identified for movement, PERS-4013 will submit personnel manning action requests via MNA. If there are no near-term movements required, Sailors may have their projected rotation date (PRD) adjusted to enter the order negotiation window earlier than their current PRD. (1) CPOs who have their PRD adjusted will be considered a sea or shore roller based on a ratio of sea and shore duty billets available within their paygrade. (2) CPOs should expect to negotiate for orders to fill an in-paygrade requirement in all follow on assignments. b. Enlisted manning stakeholders identified in paragraph 1 shall review misaligned personnel, as well as Fleet billet vacancies, and provide their recommendations for action at the manning summit. c. Fleet readiness concerns will guide all decisions and actions, but each move will be considered on a case-by-case basis to minimize impacts to our Sailors and their families. d. The movement of realigned personnel will begin in the April 2022 timeframe. 3. The summit precept requires participants to maintain integrity without prejudice or partiality for all Sailors evaluated. Each participant must pay particular attention to each Sailor and billet to ensure that they are meeting the intention of CPO optimization. During deliberations, participants may discuss any negative impacts a realignment may have on the command or the Sailor. Before any decisions are made, TYCOM/BSO and FRIs will provide their input. If the requested actions are within one FRI, the FRI will make final decisions. If the requested action involves more than one FRI and there is a disagreement, the manning control authority will make the final decision. A copy of the precept will be provided to the participants by the summit coordinators. 4. Fleet activities shall continue evaluating MNA alignments to ensure that Sailors are accurately aligned aboard the current activity. CPOs should be aligned to billets for their specific paygrades. If Sailors of any paygrade need to be realigned to another billet, the command activity manning manager (AMM) should submit a member realignment request in MNA. If the MRR is approved, PERS-4013 will update the alignment. AMMs should reach out to their command placement coordinator in PERS-4013 with any issues, questions or concerns. 5. Key messages a. Sailors. We are working to better align our enlisted supervisors to billets which require their skills and experience. The emphasis on operational readiness and unit prioritization reflect our identity as a sea service. We must preserve the readiness of the Fleet and ensure that CPOs are optimally assigned to meet mission readiness. We will take each Sailors personal considerations into account, but I know that this may induce additional hardship for some Sailors and their families, and I sincerely thank them for their service and sacrifice. b. Commands. Commanders, commanding officers, executive officers and command master chiefs must ensure their Sailors understand the intent of this message. 6. To register for the CPO manning summit, participants should contact one of the following summit coordinators: CDR Eric Lull, eric.h.lull.mil(at)us.navy.mil 901-874-4360 ITCM LaToya Bauman, latoya.m.bauman.mil(at)us.navy.mil 901-874-3753 NCCS Shanika Jones, Shanika.d.jones.mil(at)us.navy.mil 901-874-4583 7.

Jan 2022 Sailor to Sailor

Has everyone checked to see if their PMK-EE is documented?

President Joe Biden announced Thursday that he has ordered a new deployment of some 120 active-duty military medical troops into hospitals overwhelmed with coronavirus patients in six states as the United States faces its highest-ever spike in cases and hospitalizations. The deployment of mostly doctors and nurses is part of an increased federal response to the omicron variant of the coronavirus, the most infectious version of the disease since the pandemic spread worldwide in early 2020. The new military medical teams deploying will go to hospitals in Michigan, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Rhode Island and New Mexico — joining another 350 medical troops sent into U.S. hospitals across the nation since Thanksgiving, the president said.

ARLINGTON, Va. – The Navy wants its next warship to fire hypersonic missiles and lasers that would be ten times more powerful than the service’s existing laser weapons, according to the most detailed outlook to date of the DDG(X) next generation warship issued by the service. The warship, the largest the Navy’s attempted in more than 20 years, is designed to provide the service with the power to drive a new generation of directed energy weapons and high-power sensors that will follow the Navy’s current fleet of Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers. The warship is estimated to start construction in 2028, the Navy told USNI News last year.

In the CNO's January 11th remarks at the 34th Surface Navy Association (SNA) Symposium, he issued a call to accelerate our competitive edge as the world's strongest Navy by scaling the Get Real and Get Better approach consistently used by our best units and organizations: "History shows the navy which adapts, learns and improves the fastest gains an enduring warfighting advantage. The essential element is fostering an ecosystem a culture that assesses, corrects, and innovates better than the opposition." 2. In concert with this call to action, the CNO released an updated Charge of Command for our Commanding Officers, characterizing it as "a clear statement of what I value in our leaders, what we should expect our teams to embody, and the mindset we need to win the future fight." 3. In his implementation guidance to the Flag and SES Wardroom, CNO removed the requirement for Commanding Officers to sign the Charge, asking that it be used to inspire and mentor Commanding Officers. He also set the expectation for Senior Leaders to take pride in executing the Charge's mandate to measure themselves by how well they remove barriers and create opportunities for improved subordinate Commander performance. 4. The Charge directs Commanding Officers to lead their team in "Get Real, Get Better behavior and problem solving our self-assessing, self-correcting, and learning culture." The Get Real Get Better approach brings to life leadership and problem-solving best practices demonstrated in our best organizations and refined over the past four years. It's a proven approach for empowering our people and achieving exceptional outcomes. 5. As he closed his SNA remarks, CNO asked each of us on the Navy team to read the Charge of Command and apply the principles of continuous Self- Assessment and Self-Correction, measuring ourselves, our team, and our commands by Get Real Get Better principles. Best practice is to do this transparently and with others, sharing our ideas and enhancing our learning. 6. CNOs SNA speech, the Charge of Command, and Get Real Get Better reference materials are available on the Navy.mil website. Additional material will be released over the remainder of 2022. 7.

PENSACOLA, Fla. - Service members and veterans can get ready for life after the military by using the DOD’s Credentialing Opportunities On-Line (COOL) programs, MilGears, United Services Military Apprenticeship Program and DOD SkillBridge. Many Sailors gain unique logistics-related skills during their naval service, making the civilian trucking industry a viable future career choice. Managed by the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Force Education and Training, these tools include the DOD’s Credentialing Opportunities On-Line (COOL) programs, the MilGears Platform Suite of Tools, the United Services Military Apprenticeship Program (USMAP) and the SkillBridge program. “For the Navy, these online tools are all great opportunities for Sailors and Navy veterans,” said Keith Boring, Navy Credentialing Programs branch head at Naval Education and Training Command (NETC). “We recognize and value the contributions Sailors and our service members continue to make in their careers after the service, and these programs are available to help them navigate achieving their professional goals.” Service members and veterans can capture their military occupational data, map it to civilian occupations, find associated civilian career pathways, earn apprenticeships and certifications, and partner with industry employers to begin new careers in many fields such as the trucking industry. “With COOL, a service member or veteran can pursue at least two relevant credentials that are directly tied to the trucking industry, as well as credentials related to the logistics side,” said Mike Talley, the director of Navy COOL. “The Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) relates to 27 broad military occupations, and the Transportation Worker Identification Card (TWIC) relates to over 120 broad military occupations. Navy COOL can help you discover and understand pathways to this kind of credentialing and potentially how to fund the credentials.” The MilGears Platform Suite of Tools is a newer tool initially developed by the U.S. Navy and then further expanded by DOD for all the services. Powered by the extensively detailed data contained in COOL, such as military, civilian and federal occupations and industry-recognized credentials, MilGears considers the entirety of the individual service member’s or veteran’s unique military and civilian career background, as well as on and off-duty qualifications and credentials. “MilGears lets you upload formal documentation, capture military training and experience, and add any additional uniquely obtained qualifications from your service,” said Boring. “If you were driving in convoys during deployments in Iraq or Afghanistan, those skills relate to driving experience that contribute towards the CDL and the TWIC.” The formal military training program USMAP allows Sailors to earn a nationally recognized journeyman certificate from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). Active-duty and Full Time Support (FTS) Navy, Marine Corps, Army, and Coast Guard service members have the opportunity to improve their job skills and to complete their civilian apprenticeship requirements while serving. “Occupational career fields, such as heavy and tractor-trailer truck driving, are approved registered apprenticeship trades through USMAP, so service members can complete the journeyman apprenticeship trade as part of their daily military job,” said Tom Phillips, USMAP director at NETC. “Your military supervisor provides monthly validation for the list of required military occupation competencies. You demonstrate the competency and fulfill any time-based requirements, and depending on the trade, it could take as little as a year to complete or may require up to four years to complete.” Over the last few years, USMAP has assisted more than 60 DOD service members in earning the heavy truck driving registered apprenticeship journeyman certificate. More than 340 personnel across the services are currently enrolled in this apprenticeship. During their last 180 days of service, Sailors can take advantage of the DOD SkillBridge program. Before separating from the military, they can gain valuable civilian work experience through specific industry internships, job training, employment skills training and DOL-registered apprenticeship programs. SkillBridge connects service members with industry partners in real-world job experiences and provides an invaluable chance to work and learn in civilian career areas. While industry partners have access to and can leverage the world’s most highly trained and motivated workforce at no cost, service members continue to receive their military compensation and benefits. To participate in the SkillBridge program, the industry partner programs must offer a high probability of post-service employment with the provider or other employers in a field related to the opportunity. With more than 1,600 partnerships developed between industry and the DOD, over 70 are in the transportation and material moving industry. More than 700 service members have graduated from SkillBridge trucking industry partner programs in the last few years. For more information about these programs, visit: • MilGears: https://milgears.osd.mil/ • DOD COOL: https://cool.osd.mil • USMAP: https://usmap.osd.mil • DOD SkillBridge: https://skillbridge.osd.mil NETC, as the largest shore command in the U.S. Navy, recruits, trains, and delivers those who serve our nation, taking them from street-to-fleet by transforming civilians into highly skilled, operational, and combat ready warfighters.
