Active Duty E4 Active Duty E5 Active Duty E6 FTS E4-E6 SELRES E4 SELRES E5 SELRES E6 New quota format shows both the test takers’ opportunity to advance, as well as the overall total advancement opportunity by rating and component. The “Other paths for advancement” column consolidates the Non-NWAE advancements and shows the numbers of Sailors advanced through other advancement programs like Advance to Position (A2P), Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP), Selective Training and Reenlistment (STAR), Advanced Technical Field (ATF), etc. These advancements may be paygrade and/or component (AC/RC) specific. The “Total Advancement Opportunity” percentage is calculated from the Advancement quotas and all other paths of advancement divided by the Lower Paygrade Inventory. As a reminder, PMK-EE is a requirement to take the advancement exam and we leave advancement opportunities in certain ratings empty every year because Sailors have not completed PMK-EE and cannot become test takers.

The U.S. Navy and Boeing are putting the MQ-25 Stingray through its paces. The military service and defense contractor simulated aircraft carrier deck handling at a Navy facility in Norfolk, Virginia, last week. The Stingray fired up its engine and taxied, run by controllers on the simulated deck during the testing. The highly anticipated platform will bring an important new capability to the United States Navy, primarily as an aerial refueling platform, but also with the potential to become an unmanned node in the United States Navy’s intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance network.

FORT SHAFTER, Hawaii — The Navy and Army are footing hotel bills for hundreds of families affected by petroleum-tainted tap water at 10 military housing communities on Oahu near Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.

The ESB ship class is highly flexible and used across a broad range of military operations supporting multiple operational phases, similar to the Expeditionary Transfer Dock class. Acting as a mobile sea base, they are part of the critical access infrastructure that supports the deployment of forces and supplies to provide prepositioned equipment and sustainment with flexible distribution. “ESBs are optimized to support the core capabilities of aviation facilities, berthing, special operations, equipment staging support, and command and control operations,” said Tim Roberts, Strategic and Theater Sealift program manager, Program Executive Office (PEO) Ships. “The ESBs have demonstrated their ability to enhance the fleet’s flexibility and capability as they operate around the world. The addition of the future USS Robert E. Simanek will help continue to provide critical access in the maritime domain.”

WASHINGTON — The military branches reported nearly 300 allegations of extremism among troops between Jan. 1 and Sept. 30, though the Pentagon has yet to establish congressionally mandated reporting and tracking standards, according to a Defense Department inspector general report released Thursday.

The parents of a junior sailor who killed himself in an Army jail after allegedly substandard mental health care by Navy providers are appealing the sea service’s denial of their multi-million-dollar medical negligence claim. Attorneys for the parents of Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handling) Airman Macoy Hicks, 20, contend the Navy failed to follow the letter and spirit of the law in its “arbitrary and capricious” denial. The original claim, filed in January, alleged that Hicks received subpar mental healthcare from the Navy, and that Army jailers failed to properly care for him when they issued him a belt he used to take his life while confined for 25 days at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, in February 2019.

As many as 19,000 active-duty Marines and Navy sailors chose not to get vaccinated against the coronavirus by their shared Nov. 28 deadline, a dilemma for military leaders who have threatened to expel personnel refusing to comply with the Biden administration’s mandate. In both services, the number of holdouts is around 9,500, according to official counts. And while the Marines’ margin of 5 percent unvaccinated had been anticipated, it was an unexpected outcome for the Navy, which in announcing its final tally this week acknowledged that officials had uncovered last-minute “discrepancies” with its data-tracking system that revealed a larger pool of unvaccinated sailors than had been projected. As recently as last week, official data showed that 99.8 percent of sailors had at least one shot by last Sunday’s deadline. The true number is just over 97 percent.

At least 500 families living in military housing in Honolulu woke Sunday morning to find that their tap water had an oily sheen and smelled like fuel. Residents like Army spouse Hanna, who lives in Navy-owned housing at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, told Military.com she has had nosebleeds and her toddler developed diarrhea over the weekend before she noticed the odor. Two days later, her family is buying bottled water, hoping someone in charge will bring in truckloads of water and explain what's going on.

FORT SHAFTER, Hawaii — Preliminary tests disclosed the presence of petroleum in tap water from an elementary school near Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, the Hawaii Department of Health said Wednesday. Samples collected Tuesday from Red Hill Elementary School, which is near military housing and uses the Navy’s water system, were tested at a lab at the University of Hawaii and found positive for a “petroleum product,” the health department said in a news release.

WASHINGTON — A process will begin in 2022 to review Department of Veterans Affairs facilities across the country to determine which buildings to close and where to invest more resources. The VA will submit its recommendations about the realignment of VA facilities in January, VA Secretary Denis McDonough said Wednesday during a Senate hearing. Those recommendations will go to a commission, which will spend the next year looking at the VA’s plan, conducting hearings, and submitting its own proposals to the White House.

BREMERTON, Wash. - When U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Tessa Hazard chose to become a respiratory therapist, part of the specialty allure was a limited chance of deployment. Yet, the ongoing pandemic has called upon Navy Medicine respiratory therapists like Hazard to be sent from sea to shore to help against the highly-infectious disease.

By gosh they just published it. BUPERSINST 1610.10F (EVALMAN)

That's the first thing I did was look for a copy and it wasn't published!

In a new podcast, "Fat Leonard" says he secretly video-taped Navy officers with sex workers he paid for. Leonard Glenn Francis pleaded guilty in 2015 to providing Navy personnel with over $500,000 in bribes, luxury travel, entertainment, and the service of sex workers.

WASHINGTON — About 97.2% of active-duty sailors are at least partially vaccinated against the coronavirus, the Navy said Tuesday, two days after the service’s deadline for the entire force to get the shots. That percentage is lower than the Navy reported last week. On Nov. 24, the Navy said 99.8% of active-duty sailors had received at least one dose of the vaccine. A week prior, the service reported 99.7% of its active-duty force were partially vaccinated.

SANTA FE, N.M. — The Navy is sending a 20-member medical team to New Mexico to help the San Juan Regional Medical Center cope with a staff shortage for treating large numbers of COVID-19 patients. The military team is being deployed at the request of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and is scheduled to arrive at the Farmington hospital on Dec. 5.

The U.S. Navy recommended Monday night that Joint Base Pearl Harbor – Hickam military housing residents avoid ingestion of their potable water as a cautionary measure "if chemical or petroleum odors are present." Over the weekend, residents of military housing near the base reported a "chemical smell" in their tap water, prompting the Navy to investigate.

Interesting thank you.

A 47-year-old Navy reservist is the latest member of the U.S. armed forces to die from complications of COVID-19, the coronavirus respiratory disease. Petty Officer 1st Class William E. Matthews, an electronics technician from Lewisville, Texas, died Nov. 24, according to a Navy Reserve Force news release issued Monday.

REF B IS NAVADMIN 312/18, ADVANCEMENT POLICY UPDATE.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces the cancellation of reference (a) and the publication of BUPERSINST 1610.10F, Navy Performance Evaluation System (EVALMAN). 2. Summary of Changes: This revision incorporates policy guidance contained in reference (b). The following new guidance applies with the updated instruction: a. Rescind a requirement for administrative change requests to be submitted within two years of the performance evaluation end date. b. Incorporates multiple changes as part of the introduction of eNavFit. The eNavFit interface consolidates the functionality of the current NAVFIT98A application with the Navy Personnel Command (PERS-32) processing capabilities into a uniform solution for the Navy. This interface is a functionality bridge and is not meant to replace or modify the performance evaluation process. The online and web-based solution allows users to create, edit, delete, route, validate and digitally sign reports. It also allows a reporting senior to group and process summary group reports. The online application is capable of receiving performance evaluation data from the offline version and will be deployed and operated within BUPERS Online (BOL) as the front end for Fleet users. The offline version uses adobe reader forms and provides many of the same capabilities as the online version. (1) Online performance evaluations submitted to BOL shall be digitally signed. The eNavFit user guide can be reviewed and downloaded at: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Performance-Evaluation/. (2) Offline performance appraisals submitted via mail (FEDEX, USPS, UPS, DHL, etc.) shall be wet signed using only black or blue-black ink. (3) Summary letters are not required for electronic submissions via BOL. (4) Personal data may be auto populated from the BOL server. It should always be verified for correctness. c. Incorporates changes in chapter 18 for mid-term counseling and coaching integration. Conducting mid-term counseling is not optional. (1) Introduces the term supervisor as coach to replace the previous terminology of counselor due to the guidance, support and direction they provide during the performance counseling session. (2) Introduces the term Sailor as performer to replace the previous terminology of member due to the member providing honest and candid feedback regarding gaps and opportunities for them to enhance their performance. (3) Authorizes the individual development plan (IDP) to be used as an optional developmental tool and to serve as a performance counseling record and growth plan. (4) Introduces addressing specific areas of performance improvement by demonstrating genuine curiosity and asking questions to guide the member to create an actionable plan. (5) Incorporates changes to the supervisors preparation requirements to include reviewing the members self-appraisal, determine any opportunities for development and to create a rough outline of meeting talking points and goals to discuss. (6) Incorporates changes to the members preparation requirements to include preparing a self-appraisal and preparing to receive both positive and constructive feedback. (7) Introduces three core skills to be used during a meaningful performance counseling session to include active listening, empathy and asking powerful questions. (8) Incorporates changes to the Guidelines for Supervisors to include the addition of five new steps titled: The Introduction, Engage the Member, Diving Deeper, Give Specific Feedback and Ending the Performance Counseling Session. (9) Incorporated changes to the follow-up/monitoring of the members performance counseling session to include the supervisor and member will agree to continue open and informal performance conversation after the mid- term performance counseling session has concluded. d. Incorporates changes to regular reporting senior for Navy Reserve Unit Personnel. (1) All members of Navy Reserve Units (e.g., commissioned/operational and readiness/augment) assigned to mobilization billets will be reported on by the commanding officer (CO) or officer in charge (OIC) of the unit mobilization unit identification code (UMUIC) effective 2 August 2022. Reports with a reporting senior signature from either the UMUIC or training unit identification code (TRUIC) will be accepted to support a transition period of 1 February 2022 1 August 2022. (2) UMUIC and TRUIC leadership will coordinate during the transition period to determine appropriate submissions/content, taking into consideration professional growth, development, continuity and member advocacy to minimize any/all disruptions related to officer fitness reports, enlisted evaluations and Navy wide advancement exam cycles. Members who are not assigned to a mobilization billet (e.g. who are in an in assignment processing (IAP) status) do not have an associated UMUIC and therefore the reporting senior will be the TRUIC CO/OIC. (3) The reporting senior for IAP members in readiness support units (RSU), formerly known as operational support units (OSU), and those in voluntary training units (VTU), will be the designated TRUIC CO/OIC or the Navy operational support center CO. e. Incorporates changes to concurrent reporting senior for Navy Reserve unit personnel. TRUIC reporting seniors shall follow procedures in chapter 4 to submit inactive duty concurrent reports on their shared cross-assigned members to recognize those who significantly contribute to their TRUIC billets via inactive duty for training. There will be a transition period of 1 February 2022 to 1 August 2022 and UMUIC/TRUIC leadership will coordinate to determine the most appropriate reporting senior for concurrent reports during the transition period. f. Incorporates changes clarifying the use and what can be included in the comments section for the *N* code, Block 20, Physical Fitness Assessment Code, for pregnant service members. (1) If using the *N* code because of pregnancy, no directed comment should be used in the performance comment section. (2) Do not quote from medical reports or summaries and do not include comments pertaining to medical issues (physical and/or psychological, e.g. pregnancy, post-partum, etc.) that do not affect the members performance of duties and/or his or her effectiveness as a leader. g. Incorporates reference (b) announcing reporting seniors shall incorporate their post summary group reporting seniors cumulative average (RSCA) score for E-5 and E-6 evaluations into Block 43 (Comments on Performance). This RSCA score will be on the last line of the comments. 3. For questions concerning these policy changes contact the MyNavy Career Center at (833) 833-6622 or via email at askmncc(at)navy.mil. 4.

So someone contacted me with a question. They were wondering if the Nov 28 COVID vaccine deadline has anything to do with the delay and the quotas/ results? I could see the possibility of the quotas changing where rates are impacted so good question. Anyone have any thoughts? Here's the message about the COVID deadline. I have the NAVADMIN someplace as well.
