FALLS CHURCH, Va. – You’ve likely heard the term “referral” in connection with health care. But what exactly is a referral—and how do you know if you need one? A referral is when your primary care manager (PCM) or primary care provider sends you to another provider or specialist for care. “When you receive a referral for care, your provider has determined the care will benefit your health,” said Tonya Utterback, referral and authorization expert with the TRICARE Health Plan at the Defense Health Agency. “Once your referral is approved, it’s important to use it in a timely manner. For example, if you’re referred to a cardiologist to evaluate a heart problem, diagnosing and treating the problem as soon as possible may result in a better health outcome.” Read on to learn when you need a referral and helpful tips for using them.

Parachuting Accident Claims Life of Navy SEAL (Updated info)

COMPLETE UIC LIST/MAP QUOTAS Season One of CY23 as of 18 Feb, 23

The Navy is offering more than $100,000 in surface warfare bonuses as the service contemplates new ways to boost retention within the community. Active duty officers could earn as much as $105,000 to become SWO department heads, while active duty lieutenant commander SWOs may earn up to $46,000 after signing on for another three years — the same amounts offered to officers last year, according to Navy data.

TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) - The Navy confirms the death of a sailor in Marana. A Naval Special Warfare Command spokesperson says Chief Special Warfare Operator Michael T. Ernst died in a military training free fall accident Sunday. He was assigned to a Naval Special Warfare East Coast-based unit. The Navy is investigating the cause of the accident.

DJIBOUTI 02.16.2023 Story by Petty Officer 1st Class Maria Olvera Tristan Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti Subscribe18 CAMP LEMONNIER, Djibouti (Feb. 16, 2023) Forward-deployed enlisted Sailors from the ranks of E-4 to E-5 took the Navy-wide advancement exam for cycle 112 at Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, Feb. 16. The advancement exam is a test that allows Sailors to demonstrate their rate-specific knowledge and qualify them for promotion. “This is important for a Sailor’s career progression,” said Chief Damir Cerkez, CLDJ Educational Services Officer and Career Counselor. “(Sailors) will be able to take the advancement test, show their knowledge on their specific rate, (and) for that pay grade.” The exam provides an unbiased factor for the final multiple score or FMS algorithm that helps rank order qualified candidates for advancement consideration. All Sailors who take the exam have met necessary eligibility requirements, like knowledge and time in rate, for advancement and have been recommended by their Commanding Officer/Officer in Charge. While, CLDJ is an operational installation that enables security operations in Europe, Africa, and Southwest Asia, these advancement exams and professional opportunities ensure Sailors are best prepared to successfully complete their mission. “We administer exams each Navy advancement cycle, spring or fall,” said Cerkez. “SELRES is administered in February and August, active duty in March and September.” Active duty, full-time support, and recruiters take the active duty enlisted Navy-wide advancement examination. Navy Reserve personnel, including all candidates serving on voluntary recall or mobilization, take the SELRES enlisted Navy-wide advancement examination. The biggest change in 2023, according to NAVADMIN 274/22, is that the Navy has officially cancelled E-4 advancement exams for active component and TAR Sailors. Instead, all qualified E-3s will be selected for advancement using the alternate rank order to determine who advances without the exam score. “The difference between exams is that we do not administer E-4 exams anymore, this is Navy-wide,” said Cerkez, “Sailors are still required to complete the enlisted advancement worksheet in NSIPS.” Exams for E-7 and LDO purposes are not administrated in combat designated zones, such as Camp Lemonnier. The Education Service Officer provides a transmittal letter to Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center to make those Sailors’ selection board eligible. The opportunity to take an advancement exam or have dedicated Navy career counselor in a combat zone, like at CLDJ, is unique and often isn’t the case in other forward deployed assignments or billets. Further, the ability to take advancement exams doesn’t detract from mission, but it enhances a Sailors abilities and knowledge. “Bottom line is that ensuring our Sailors who are qualified, ready, and already working at the next level are recognized and promoted - even in a combat zone,” said Cerkez. “At CLDJ, we care about giving our Sailors the opportunity to advance.”

Rather than consider the U.S. Pacific fleet’s agglomeration of older aircraft carriers and attack submarines an embarrassing sign of American weakness, the old nuclear combatants of the of Indo-Pacific Fleet deserve recognition for being as dangerous as they have ever been. With little to lose and nothing to prove, the relative combat value of nuclear-powered platforms increases as they age.

WASHINGTON – Back away from the baked goods, Doughboy. That's the warning from the Pentagon to its 1.3 million active-duty soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines amid fresh concerns that tainted poppy seeds could prompt troops to pop hot on drug tests for codeine after eating bagels or muffins. "Recent data suggests certain poppy seeds varieties may have higher codeine contamination than previously reported," said the warning from Gilbert Cisneros, the Pentagon's top official for personnel.

The U.S. Department of Defense secured an exposed server on Monday that was spilling internal U.S. military emails to the open internet for the past two weeks. The exposed server was hosted on Microsoft’s Azure government cloud for Department of Defense customers, which uses servers that are physically separated from other commercial customers and as such can be used to share sensitive but unclassified government data. The exposed server was part of an internal mailbox system storing about three terabytes of internal military emails, many pertaining to U.S. Special Operations Command, or USSOCOM, the U.S. military unit tasked with conducting special military operations.

Anyone have the scoop on the delayed MAP quotas?

DANTES Information Bulletin

Headlines over the past several months have highlighted the U.S. Navy’s challenge of suicide within its ranks. An alarming sign of the problem was when three junior sailors assigned to the aircraft carrier George Washington completed suicide within a six-day period in April 2022. Then, late last year, four sailors took their lives at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center in Norfolk, Virginia. Most recently it came to light that five sailors and instructors assigned to the Navy’s Nuclear Power School in Charleston, South Carolina died by suicide since 2018 with another 24 suicide attempts within the same timeframe. Reading between the lines, it’s clear that the Navy is struggling with traditional “deck plate” leadership issue.

WASHINGTON — Lockheed Martin will deliver hypersonic missiles to the Navy and Army that can be integrated with the Navy’s Zumwalt-class destroyers under a $1.2 billion deal awarded Friday. Lockheed Martin is the integrator for the hypersonic weapon program — which the Navy calls Conventional Prompt Strike and the Army calls Long Range Hypersonic Weapon. The two services leverage a common round, but put them in different launchers.

A recent update to the Navy’s instruction on religious ministry in the service — which instructs commanders to offer a “religious needs assessment” to sailors arriving at a new duty station — is drawing fire from some enlisted sailors and officers who argue it is unconstitutional.

The service obligation incurred by DHRB will begin no earlier than the officer's minimum service requirement. d. References (b) and (c) limit career retention bonus amounts. While officers may receive multiple retention bonuses under section 332 of reference (b) over a career, total bonus payments under this authority may not exceed $300K for AC officers and $150K for TAR officers. 4. Program Eligibility: a. Must meet all four of the following requirements: (1) Qualified and serving as an Active-Duty SWO (designator 1110 or 1117). (2) Completed at least one division officer tour or be assigned to a fleet-up or single longer tour billet as approved by PERS-41. (3) Administratively screened for DH afloat by the surface DH screening board. (4) Agree to complete two afloat DH tours or a single longer DH tour as assigned by PERS-41, or complete commissioned service through YCS-10, whichever is later. b. Eligible officers must be sea duty assignable as defined by reference (d). Additionally: (1) An officer under contract evaluated as no longer fit for sea duty by an appropriate medical authority and placed on temporary limited duty will have a stop payment placed on their account and receive no further SWO DHRB payments. (2) Should a previously ineligible officer later become fit for sea duty, PERS-41, in line with the appropriate medical authority's findings, will determine if retroactive pay is authorized and resume payments at normal intervals for the remainder of the contract relative to the current YCS. (3) An officer found unfit for continued naval service by an appropriate medical authority will have a stop payment placed on their account and receive no further SWO DHRB payments. c.

The SWO community manager is assigned as the program manager and is delegated the authority to administer the SWO DHRB program in line with applicable laws, Department of Defense directives, and this NAVADMIN. c. PERS-41 receives applications submitted in the format referenced in paragraph 7. PERS-41 is delegated the authority to: (1) Evaluate the eligibility of officers applying for the SWO DHRB program. (2) Approve SWO contracts to remain on Active Duty for the stated period in exchange for a SWO DHRB. (3) Administer DHRB payments. d.

Officers under a DHRB agreement are not eligible to apply for the permanent military instructor (PMI) program or any redesignation programs resulting in a designator change to any designator other than 1110 or 1117. An officer under a DHRB agreement may submit an application for PMI or any redesignation program once the date of application is within 12 months of the final day of bonus obligation. 6.

Repayment policy is governed by section 373 of reference (b) and reference (e). A Service Member of the uniformed services who enters into a written agreement with specified service conditions for receipt of a bonus is entitled to the full amount of the bonus if the member fulfills the conditions of the written agreement. If the member fails to fulfill the service conditions specified in the written agreement for the pay, then the pay may be terminated, and the Service Member may be required to repay an amount equal to the unearned portion of the pay. SWO DHRB payments will be stopped for officers who become ineligible for this incentive or fail to complete the full period of additional obligated service. a. Officers who fail to complete DH school or fail to report to their first DH tour are subject to recoupment of all payments received to date in line with reference (e). b. Officers processed for detachment for cause (DFC) during either DH tour will have a stop payment placed on their account. If the DFC is approved, recoupment will be calculated to begin on the date of DFC acknowledgment included in the DFC package. If the DFC is overturned, the stop payment will be cleared after final adjudication is received by PERS-41 and the officer will continue to receive future scheduled payments. Retroactive pay for any missed payments will be considered on a case-by-case basis in line with references (c) and (e). c. For officers who die while serving under a SWO DHRB service agreement, the remaining SWO DHRB balance will be paid as a lump sum as part of the settlement of the final military pay account of the officer. If death is determined to be the result of the misconduct of the member, future payments will be stopped and unearned portions of the bonus will be recouped, as applicable, in line with procedures established for members whose inability to complete a contracted period of service is voluntary or the result of misconduct. d. Recoupment exception to policy determinations will be made by Director, Military Personnel Plans and Policy (OPNAV N13). 9.

This NAVADMIN announces the continuation of the Surface Warfare Officer (SWO) Lieutenant Commander (LCDR) Retention Bonus (LRB) for eligible SWOs. 2. Program Authority. In line with reference (a), the SWO LRB is effective through 30 September 2025 unless otherwise rescinded or superseded. This program is authorized in line with section 332 of reference (b). All applications for the bonus contained within this program will be submitted to the SWO Assignments Division (PERS-41) for approval, payment processing, and tracking. 3. Program Overview. This NAVADMIN summarizes the provisions of the SWO LRB. All information provided herein is applicable to both Active Component (AC) SWO personnel and Training and Administration of the Reserve (TAR) SWO personnel, except where otherwise noted. The following general summary is provided: a. SWOs promoted to LCDR will have the opportunity to commit to the SWO LRB. The Navy will pay qualified officers for 3 years of obligated service from their 12th year of commissioned service (YCS) through the completion of their 15th YCS. LCDRs with at least 11 YCS, but not more than 12 YCS, are eligible for the SWO LRB. AC SWOs will receive $22K on the second anniversary, $12K on the third anniversary, and $12K on the fourth anniversary of their promotion to LCDR. In line with references (a) and (b), TAR SWOs will receive $12K on the second, third, and fourth anniversaries of their promotion to LCDR. b. References (b) and (c) limit career retention bonus amounts. While officers may receive multiple retention bonuses under section 332 of reference (b) over a career, total bonus payments under this authority may not exceed $300K for AC officers and $150K for TAR officers. 4. Program Eligibility: a. Must meet all four of the following requirements: (1) Qualified and serving as an Active Duty SWO (designator 1110 or 1117). (2) Permanently appointed LCDR. (3) Have at least 11 YCS, but no more than 12 YCS. (4) Completed two afloat department head tours or a single longer tour in line with the department head sequencing plan as assigned by PERS-41. b. If assigned to an at-sea tour by PERS-41, eligible officers must be sea duty assignable as defined by reference (d). Additionally: (1) An officer under contract assigned to an at-sea tour and evaluated as no longer fit for sea duty by an appropriate medical authority, following a period of temporary limited duty (TLD), will have a stop payment placed on their account and receive no further SWO LRB payments. However, an officer on TLD who is reasonably expected by the assigned medical officer to make a full recovery and be found fit for sea duty will continue to receive scheduled payments. This determination will be completed by PERS-41 in line with the appropriate medical authority's findings. (2) An officer found unfit for continued naval service by an appropriate medical authority will have a stop payment placed on their account and receive no further SWO LRB payments. (3) Should a previously ineligible officer later become fit for sea duty, payments will resume at normal intervals for the remainder of the anniversary payment(s). Retroactive pay is not authorized for any bonus payments that were scheduled during the period the officer was ineligible. c. Career Intermission Program (CIP). An officer participating in CIP will be ineligible to receive LRB payments during their time in the program. Payments will resume upon return to service and in line with the payment scheme. d. An officer is not eligible to receive both the SWO Department Head Retention Bonus and LRB concurrently. 5. Program Execution: a. The SWO community manager is assigned as the program manager and is delegated the authority to administer the SWO LRB program in line with applicable laws, Department of Defense directives, and this NAVADMIN. b. PERS-41 receives applications submitted in the format referenced in paragraph 7. PERS-41 is delegated the authority to: (1) Evaluate the eligibility of SWOs applying for the SWO LRB program. (2) Approve SWO contracts to remain on Active Duty for the stated period in exchange for a SWO LRB. (3) Administer LRB payments. c. All applications require written endorsement from their commander, commanding officer (CO), or equivalent superior in charge. d. Officers under a LRB agreement are not eligible to apply for the permanent military instructor (PMI) program, or any redesignation programs resulting in a designator change to any designator other than 1110 or 1117. An officer under a LRB agreement may submit an application for PMI or any redesignation programs once the date of application is within 12 months of the final day of bonus obligation. 6. LRB Payment Structure: a. Applications for LRB must be submitted between the 11th and 12th YCS. Approved applicants will receive payments on the second, third, and fourth anniversary of their promotion to LCDR. For example, an officer who elects not to apply (or is not eligible) for LRB bonus before their second anniversary of promotion to LCDR, but between their second and third-anniversary elects (or becomes eligible) to apply, will receive a payment for their third anniversary and will have forgone their second-anniversary payment altogether. The same logic also applies to officers deemed ineligible for the LRB bonus during one payment period, but who subsequently become eligible during another period. The following table describes the schedule: LCDR promotion anniversary Payment Second $22K for AC $12K for TAR Third $12K for AC and TAR Fourth $12K for AC and TAR b. In the case of officers who promote to LCDR below zone, PERS-41 may alter the payment schedule to ensure high performing- officers are eligible to receive the full bonus amount. 7. Application Process: a. General Notes: (1) Application format can be found on the PERS-41 page of the Navy Personnel Command website at https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career- Management/Detailing/Officer/Pers-41-SWO/Pay-Incentives/. (2) Applications will be binding upon the date of approval by PERS-41. (3) Applications received in the incorrect format or not meeting eligibility requirements defined in this NAVADMIN will be rejected. b. Officers must mail the signed original agreement and COs endorsement to: Commander, Navy Personnel Command (PERS-41) PERS-411/SWO LRB 5720 Integrity Drive Millington, TN 38055 c. Additionally, a copy of the signed original contract and COs endorsement should be submitted by e-mail to the applicable assignment officer and/or civilian assistant. 8. Recoupment and Repayment Policy. Repayment policy is governed by section 373 of reference (b) and reference (e). A Service Member of the uniformed services who enters into a written agreement with specified service conditions for receipt of a bonus is entitled to the full amount of the bonus if the Service Member fulfills the conditions of the written agreement. If the Service Member fails to fulfill the service conditions specified in the written agreement for the pay, then the pay may be terminated and the Service Member may be required to repay an amount equal to the unearned portion of the pay. SWO LRB payments will be stopped for officers who become ineligible for this incentive or fail to complete the full period of additional obligated service. a. For officers who die while serving under a SWO LRB service agreement, the remaining SWO LRB balance will be paid as a lump sum as part of the settlement of the final military pay account of the officer. If death is determined to be the result of the misconduct of the member, future payments will be stopped and unearned portions of the bonus will be recouped, as applicable, in line with procedures established for members whose inability to complete a contracted period of service is voluntary or the result of misconduct. b. Recoupment exception to policy determinations will be made by Director, Military Personnel Plans and Policy (OPNAV N13). 9.

This NAVADMIN solicits applications and provides guidance for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Seaman to Admiral-21 (STA-21) Commissioning Program. Due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, applicants stationed outside the United States at any time between 1 February 2022 and 30 June 2023 or those who were deployed at any time between 1 February 2022 and 30 June 2023 may apply without a valid Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or American College Test (ACT), if they meet the requirements detailed in paragraph 7h of this NAVADMIN. The SAT or ACT application requirement is also waived for STA-21 Nuclear option (STA-21(N)) applicants. Supplemental information for applicant submission is provided in paragraphs 7g and 7h of this NAVADMIN. 2. STA-21 is a full-time undergraduate education and commissioning program open to enlisted personnel of all pay grades and ratings who meet the eligibility requirements specified in reference (a). 3. Deadline for submission of applications for the FY-24 STA-21 Program is 1 July 2023. Application packages must be postmarked on or before the deadline date. It is recommended applications be submitted prior to the deadline as early submission allows timely feedback to the Sailor for submission of missing or illegible documents. The additional documentation submitted must be postmarked on or before 24 July 2023. No additional documents may be submitted after this date. The selection board is scheduled to convene in August 2023 and the selectees will be announced via NAVADMIN message. 4. The core program and the following target options are open for application for the FY-24 Selection Board: Surface Warfare Officer (SWO), SWO Engineering Duty Option SWO (ED), Nuclear (Surface and Sub), Special Warfare, Explosive Ordnance Disposal, Naval Flight Officer, Aviator, Civil Engineering Corps, Nurse Corps, and Information Professional. 5. The following target options have zero select opportunities for FY-24: Human Resources, Intelligence, Information Warfare, Medical Corps, Supply Corps, SWO Information Professional (IP), Oceanography Officer (OCEANO), and SWO (OCEANO). 6. The Nuclear (Surface and Submarine) target option is now open to Sailors who are serving in the Fleet and hold an active nuclear Navy enlisted classification (NEC) (N1XO, N1XS, N2XO, N2XS) and to those Sailors who are in the nuclear training pipeline with the N91T NEC. Applicants holding a nuclear NEC must receive a conditional release from the Nuclear Enlisted Community Manager (OPNAV N133D), in line with reference (b), if applying for an option outside the nuclear community. All applicants for STA-21(N) must be able to begin their first day of class in the first semester of their coursework prior to reaching 8 years of service. Reference (c) provides specific information and all other requirements to apply for the STA-21(N) program. Additional information applicable to this year's STA-21 application is as follows: a. If a physical fitness assessment (PFA) was not performed within the last year, commanding officers (CO) will provide an affirmative statement in their endorsement certifying the applicant is within height and weight requirements as required by paragraph 7 of this NAVADMIN. b. Standardized test scores are required in the application submission in line with paragraph 7h of this NAVADMIN. Candidates are advised to verify school admission requirements, as the STA-21(N) SAT or ACT waiver does not supersede university admission requirements. c. The Sailor and Marine American Council on Education Registry Transcript, in line with reference (a), enclosure (1), chapter 8, paragraph 6b(9), is not required to be submitted for this application. A future revision of reference (a) will remove this requirement. d. The applicant's photograph, in line with reference (a), is no longer required for this application. A future revision of reference (a) will remove this requirement. 7. The following information addresses lessons learned from the FY-23 STA-21 selection process and board. This information is provided to preclude common errors: a. Of the 265 applications received for FY-23, only 243 were board eligible. A total of 79 were selected to participate in the FY-23 STA-21 Program. b. Each year, packages are not considered due to non-qualifying SAT or ACT scores, missing CO endorsement or recommendations, recent non-judicial punishment, missing PFA cycles, missing or illegible submission of documents, and not meeting program age or PFA requirements. c. Minimum eligibility requirements must be met before submitting an application. Applications should be mailed only when fully completed. Officer interview boards will consist of three officers. The applicant's CO may not be a board member and should not submit an interview appraisal sheet. The CO's personal interview should be conducted only after the application is complete and the officer interview board has submitted their appraisals. The full picture of an applicant's academic and officer potential can only be determined by reviewing the SAT or ACT scores (if required), high school or college transcripts, and a completed application package. d. The CO's endorsement is extremely important, especially the ranking of the individual among their peers. The endorsement should contain specifics about the individual's academic potential, commitment, leadership, service above self, and potential as a naval officer. CO comments should specify the primary option to which the individual is applying and address how the individual meets the qualifications for that option. For junior Sailors with only schoolhouse evaluations, the CO must address this issue in their endorsement. e. An interview board and nomination review board will be conducted in line with reference (a). It is recommended officers of the applicant's designator of choice, if available, be asked to participate in the interview and nomination review board to assess the applicant for their community. Officer appraisals provide important insight into the applicant. The appraisal from the board should be a frank and honest assessment of the applicant's leadership and academic potential. Appraisal forms should be typed in 10 or 12-point font. f. The applicant's personal statement should address why the Sailor wants to become an officer, how the Sailor's selection would improve the Navy, and why the Sailor is applying for a specific option. Sailors must also address any hardships or unique experiences that shaped their character. Junior Sailors should provide information on high school experiences as high school transcripts rarely provide in-depth information on involvement in sports, clubs, volunteer hours, work, etc. Additionally, applicants should address any anomalies in the package (e.g., poor high school grades, college grades, service school grades, or poor evaluation performance). The explanation should include details of the situation, how the applicant has overcome these issues, and why the applicant will be successful in the future. g. The application is a reflection of the applicant. Applicants must review their packages in their entirety before submitting them. Check for misspelled words and improper grammar. Ensure all high school and college transcripts are enclosed. Applicants must submit results from the last PFA completed including their overall score. Applicants who have not taken the PFA within the past year and meet the exception criteria must have a CO's endorsement including a statement verifying the applicant is currently within height and weight standards. h. Qualifying SAT or ACT scores are required for all non- nuclear officer candidates except as noted in paragraph 1 of this NAVADMIN. Applications can still be submitted pending receipt of SAT or ACT scores or with a command statement indicating non-availability for overseas locations and deployed units. SAT or ACT scores can be from exams taken between 1 July 2018 and 1 July 2023. Applicants without a SAT or ACT score and who meet the exception criteria should ensure their high school cumulative grade point average (minimum 2.5 GPA) is within the last 5 years or have a minimum 2.5 cumulative college GPA on a 4.0 scale with 12 or more semester hours. i. It is recommended the command retain a copy of the entire application package. The command portion of the application (such as command endorsement and interview appraisal sheets) should not be given to the applicant. 8. The preferred method of delivery for applications is through mail. If mail delivery is not possible, contact the Naval Service Training Command STA-21 Program Office (N92 STA-21) at grlk_sta21(at)navy.mil for alternative delivery methods. Mail completed applications to: Naval Service Training Command ATTN: N92 STA-21 320A Dewey Ave Building 3, Room 106 Great Lakes, IL 60088-2845 9.

The President of the United States has approved the reports of the selection boards which recommend the following officers in the line and staff corps on the active duty list for promotion to the permanent grade of Rear Admiral. 2. Frocking to Rear Admiral is not authorized except on an individual basis by the Secretary of Defense. Barnett, Stephen D. Baze, Michael W. Brophy, Jr., Richard T. Cahill III, Joseph F. Czerewko, Jeffrey J. Davies, Brian L. Donnelly, Michael P. Epps, Kenneth W. Freedman, Rick Martin, Daniel P. Moton, Casey J. Seif, Jr., Richard E. Spedero, Jr., Paul C. Tedford, Stephen R. Trinque, Derek A. Velez, Dennis Walker, Darryl L. Williams, Jeromy B. 3. These nominations will ensure the Navy is equipped with capable senior leaders to employ, generate, and design the Fleet for combat operations, recognizing that the continued preeminence of U.S. naval power is inextricably linked to the ability to successfully change by advancing our culture. To do so, officers with proven sustained superior performance in command leadership positions in difficult and challenging assignments, including those in the diplomatic/foreign service arena were chosen 4. The Board sought innovative and bold leaders who are ready to sustain the Get Real, Get Better movement by role-modeling GRGB leadership behaviors and problem solving. These officers are their own toughest critic, think creatively, challenge assumptions, and take well-calculated risks to maximize effectiveness. The Board selected those officers with superior leadership skills that may be further developed in a variety of assignments across the Navy without regard to community, platform, or career paths to serve as the future leaders of the Navy. 5. The convening orders and precepts for both boards may be found on the MyNavy HR website at the following link: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Boards/Flag/Precepts/ 6.
