REF B IS NAVY WARFARE PUBLICTION 5-01, NAVY PLANNING.// RMKS/1. SITUATION. Over the last two years of implementing adaptive mobilization (AM) to fulfill steady state activation requirements, Commander, Navy Reserve Force (CNRF) has identified barriers to the execution of the mass activation capabilities of AM. A major barrier to the success of AM is manning wholeness. 2. BACKGROUND. 2.A In October and November of 2023 an operational planning team (OPT) was stood up to perform mission analysis, course of action (COA) development, and COA analysis/comparison via a table top exercise (TTX). During that TTX a number of barriers to success were identified including manning wholeness in support of AM. 2.B Over the past two years significant efforts to distribute mobilization processing have been underway. The most notable result of these efforts is the Navy's expansion from a single Navy Mobilization Processing site (NMPS)to now 16 NMPSs distributed across the continental United States. The establishment of multiple NMPSs has resulted in increased mobilization processing throughput capacity and provided redundancy to the Navy's ability to mobilize Sailors for Individual Augmentee (IA) steady-state requirements. 2.C The expansion from a single NMPS to 16 NMPSs brings with it a need to evaluate manning associated with echelon-respective AM processes. The actions prescribed in this PLANORD will ensure alignment in planning and fulfillment of these manning needs utilizing the processes outlined in reference (a) and reference (b) to: 2.C.i. Ensure a common understanding of the situation regarding manning needs and requirements for headquarters, supporting commanders, adaptive mobilization readiness teams (AMRTs) and mobilization processing teams (MPTs). 2.C.ii. Historical analysis of NMPS throughput. 2.C.iii. Determination of manpower requirements to perform steady-state mobilization and demobilization processing. 2.C.iv. Review of steady state manpower requirements to ensure support of a scalable mobilization process i.e. ability to execute mass-activation. 3. SCHEDULE. 3.A. FY-24 AM Manning Mission Analysis and Course of Action Development. 3.A.i. CNRF will coordinate and stand up an OPT in order to execute analysis and COA development and analysis/comparison phases of the Navy planning process ISO manning of adaptive mobilization readiness teams and mobilization processing teams on or about 5-6 March 2024. This OPT will be held in-person in Norfolk, VA at the Joint Expeditionary Base - Little Creek library and will include up to two members from each Echelon II/III/IV stakeholders. 3.A.ii. The OPT will utilize processes of reference (a) and reference (b) to validate and update all manning analyses performed and to develop courses of action to identify barriers to appropriate manning fulfillment and application. 4. TASKS 4.A. CNRF will plan, coordinate, and execute, the event described in paragraph 3. Attendance will be coordinated with attending stakeholders via separate correspondence. 4.B. Supporting commanders designated representative will participate in these events, in-person, and participate as subject matter experts (SMEs). These SMEs should be associated with manpower (N1) and AM processing (N3/N5). Enlisted SME attendance is highly encouraged. 4.C. For these events, objectives include the following tasks: 4.C.i. Review previous AM manning plans including mission and intent, purpose, externally imposed limitations, and facts and assumptions. 4.C.ii. Validate/update previous facts and assumptions, staff estimates, risk assessments, and decision tools. 4.C.iii. Identify resource shortfalls. 4.C.iv. Ensure that if resourced properly for steady-state activations, these processes are scalable at determined staff levels to support mass-activation. 5. ADMINISTRATION AND LOGISTICS.

This ALNAVRESFOR message supersedes reference (a) and provides guidance for Calendar Year (CY) 2024 Season One (S1) Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP) for Selected Reserve (SELRES) Sailors, beginning 1 March and ending 30 April 2024. 2. To improve MAP in the Navy Reserve, we are empowering reserve command triads to identify and recognize their most talented Sailors through the meritorious advancement process. Our Reserve Force is largely prior service with unique accession pathways. SELRES overall rating health and advancement outlook is similar but not identical to AC/TAR planning factors. Reserve MAP has specific controls to ensure our force maintains a healthy and balanced total advancement opportunity for each rating. 3. For MAP-R CY24 Season One, Navy Reserve Force will convene an Echelon II MAP board for E-4 to E-5 and E-5 to E-6 candidates in non-CNIFR readiness units and all E-5 to E-6 controlled ratings for operational and CNIFR units. The ECH II MAP board will ensure MAP selections are determined utilizing a board precept, convening order and selection standards consistent with promotion boards. 4. CY24 Reserve MAP-R Season One a. Each MAP-R season is aligned with the Navy-wide advancement exam (NWAE) cycles to reward the best performing Sailors. This will require command triads to select their best and fully qualified Sailors for MAP-R nominations, without regard to NWAE results; however it does not relieve Sailors from the need to study for the technical rating information tested by the NWAE. b. Season one window: 1 March - 30 April 2023. c. Action: All Navy Reserve Units must request Unit Approver access using NSIPS. Readiness and Mobilization Commands (REDCOMs) and Immediate Superior in Command (ISIC) Commands must request REDCOM (RCC) Approver and ISIC Approver access respectively. MAP-R NSIPS tutorials are located at https://www.nsips.cloud.navy.mil under the training tab. Reference (b) contains guidance on NSIPS MAP-R user roles. 5. Eligibility. MAP-R is open to all E-3, E-4 and E-5 Sailors who meet MAP-R advancement eligibility requirements per references (c) and (d) and are in a valid pay billet. Prior Service Re-enlistment Eligibility - Reserve (PRISE-R) Sailors are eligible only if their new rate is permanent before 1 March 2024. a. Sailors may only meritoriously advance one paygrade. Sailors in a frocked status are not eligible for advancement to the next higher paygrade until advanced (i.e., frocked E-5 cannot be meritoriously advanced to E-6). b. MAP-R Time-in-Rate (TIR) requirements. The minimum TIR dates must be on or before: (1) E-6: 1 January 2023 (2) E-5: No TIR requirement (3) E-4: No TIR requirement c. Mobilized, Definite Recall, ADOS, and Canvasser Recruiter (CANREC) Sailors. Sailors who are currently mobilized or serving on Definite Recall, ADOS, or CANREC orders may compete for a SELRES MAP-R nomination opportunity but are ineligible for AC/TAR quotas. Nomination packages for Sailors on Mobilization, Definite Recall, and ADOS orders must be submitted in NSIPS via the automation tool by the Sailor's respective Navy Reserve Unit (specifically their Unit Mobilization Unit Identification Code (UMUIC)). Nomination packages for Sailors on CANREC orders must be submitted manually to CNRF via their respective recruiting region. Nomination packages for Sailors supporting the Navy Reserve Center on long term ADOS or Definite Recall orders must be submitted manually to the REDCOM. d. PMK-EE. Per reference (e), Sailors must complete PMK-EE for the desired advancement paygrade to be eligible for the Meritorious Advancement Program. e. Required attachments for E-4 to E-5 and E-5 to E-6 MAP-R candidates (all readiness units and operational units submitting a Sailor in a controlled rating listed in paragraph 10): (1). MAP-R nominations must contain a minimum of two evaluations from 1 March 2022 through 1 March 2024. Packages submitted without the required evaluations will be determined ineligible for MAP-R unless a waiver is submitted in the NSIPS MAP-R package on tab 2. (2). MAP-R nominations must contain the two most recent physical fitness assessment (PFA) data. Packages submitted without the required PFA data must submit a waiver in the NSIPS MAP-R package on tab 2. 6. Nominations. Readiness units receive one nomination to E5 and one nomination to E6. Additional MAP-R nomination opportunities are allocated as follows: a. CANREC. Each Talent Acquisition Group (NTAG/RTAG) will compete for nominations within their respective region (East, West or Reserve). Region East and Region West both are allotted one E-6 nomination. Recruiting Reserve Command is allotted two E6 nominations. Navy Recruiting Command HQ and PERS-9 are allotted one E-6 nomination each. 7. Quotas. Non-CNIFR Readiness units receive one E3 to E4 quota. The list of MAP-R quotas by UIC for Operational and CNIFR ISICs will be loaded into the NSIPS automation tool and will be visible after the guidance sheet is released. 8. E-3 to E-4 MAP-R process: a. The authority to select and MAP-R Sailors to E-4 is delegated to reserve readiness and operational unit Commanding Officers (CO) so they may recognize their most deserving E-3 Sailor. b. Each Unit CO will receive one E-3 to E-4 MAP-R quota. c. Advanced Electronic Field and Advanced Technical Field ratings are ineligible for E-4 MAP-R due to rating requirements described in reference (c). 9. E-4 to E-5 MAP-R process for operational units and CNIFR units: a. The authority to select and MAP-R Sailors to E-5 is delegated to each squadron CO, operational unit CO and NIFR Region CO. b. MAP-R quotas for all operational units will be loaded into the NSIPS automation tool. c. Full MAP-R packages are not required in NSIPS but should follow paragraph 11b guidance if authorized by the respective CO. 10. E-5 to E-6 MAP-R process for operational units and CNIFR units: a. The authority to elect and MAP-R Sailors to E6 is delegated to each squadron CO, operational unit CO, and NIFR Region CO. b. In order to control over advancing particular E6 rates and to maintain rating health, several ratings will be controlled. MAP-R candidates in controlled ratings will not automatically be advanced. Instead, they will be reviewed at the ECH II MAP-R board, where a completed NSIPS MAP-R package will be evaluated. c. Controlled ratings: ABF1, ABH1, AC1, AE1, AME1, AO1, AT1, AWF1, AWO1, AWR1, AWS1, AZ1, CE1, DC1, EA1, EM1, ETV1, FC1, FCA1, FT1, GSE1, GSM1, ITS1-COMMS, ITS1-EW, LN1, MC1, MM1, MMA1, MR1, ND1, PR1, RP1, SB1 RS1, STG1, STS1, SW1, and TM1 11. Process: a. To utilize E-3, E-4 and E-5 MAP-R quotas, UMUIC must use NSIPS to process and validate the meritorious advancement. MAP-R Unit Approvers will use steps 1-5 in paragraph 11b of this message for MAP-R validation. b. NSIPS utilizes mandatory gates for MAP-R submission. Following the below steps is crucial for MAP-R quota usage and must be completed NLT 2359 on 18 March 2024 by the MAP-R Unit Approver. (1) MAP-R Unit Approver selects the E-3/E-4/E-5 Sailor in NSIPS. (2) MAP-R Unit Approver writes the MAP package using the "nomination comments" blocks. E-3 to E-4 applications can use N/A. Readiness units and Operational Units with Controlled ratings must submit a full package. (3) MAP-R Unit Approver will upload the two most recent PFA results and current evaluations to satisfy system requirements. See paragraph 5(e) for additional information. (4) MAP-R Unit Approver will save the document which will automatically be forwarded on 18 March 2024 at 2359 to the respective ISIC. (5) In the upper right hand corner, the MAP-R submission will update from "Not Recommended" to "Recommended when all requirements are met. 12. Timeline. The MAP-R automation tool is designed to route MAP-R packages automatically on the dates below. Failure to comply with selection due dates is irrevocable, resulting in commands forfeiting their opportunity to submit MAP-R nomination package(s) for season one. a. 18 March 2024: Deadline for all readiness and operational units to submit nomination packages in NSIPS.

A gruesome discovery at a hunting club in Georgia late last year has finally culminated in an arrest. Authorities say dismembered remains found by hunters last December belong to 40-year-old Mindi Mebane Kassotis, who is believed to have been dead since November 2022.

This is the latest page that has been added to NavyAdvancement.com. It has been added to the career section, not the advancement category. Some may wonder why it's in career instead of advancement. Well hopefully the article will give a hint. I meant to add this some time ago after a Sailor (very sharp Sailor in my opinion) retired, a bit disgruntled with the Navy because they thought they had the SSP needed to make Chief - I truly wish she would have made it. Comments and suggestions are encouraged. Sustained Superior Performance

The Navy is adding new ratings eligible for incentives under the Detailing Marketplace Assignment Policy, the enlisted career management tool introduced last year to reduce manning gaps at sea. DMAP allows sailors in sea-intensive ratings at E-4 and below who wrap up a four-year apprentice sea tour to receive certain benefits if they sign on to another three-year journeyman sea tour as an E-5.

A U.S. Army officer says a squatter moved into her DeKalb County home while she was serving on active duty, and now she can’t have him evicted.

QUANTICO, Va. — The U.S. Naval Community College officially began accepting applications for its Associate of Science in Logistics (Maritime) degree program Tuesday, May 9. USNCC worked with Arizona State University to provide a naval-relevant degree program focused on those who work in supply and logistics for the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. “We’re excited to further the lifelong learning process of the naval logistics community,” said USNCC’s President Randi R. Cosentino, Ed.D. “These Sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen will develop a set of skills and earn credentials that set them up for success for the rest of their lives.”

Stephanie Murdock went to check her retiree pay statement in early April and was shocked to find that she was going to be receiving $1,118 less each month.
