This NAVADMIN announces an update to several uniform and grooming policies. Navy uniform policy updates directly support Sailor 2025 objectives to attract and retain the very best Sailors by finding greater flexibility in our policies and practices, including uniforms. 2. Navy Uniform Regulations apply to all Sailors equally, regardless of their rank, grade, ethnicity, position held or community assigned. Any difference between male and female grooming policies recognizes the differences between the genders. Navy uniform policy updates are the result of Fleet feedback, uniform working group discussions, command sponsored requests and direction from Navy leadership. 3. The following uniform and grooming policy changes are effective as stated: a. Female Hosiery. Effective immediately, wearing hosiery with slacks or skirts is optional vice mandatory for female Sailors when wearing pumps or flats footwear. When hosiery is not worn, shoe liners or no-show socks are required to be worn for hygienic purposes and to avoid abrasions or blisters caused by direct contact and rubbing between the foot and shoe. b. Female Officer/Chief Petty Officer (CPO) Summer White Uniform. Effective immediately, the female officer/CPO summer white uniform belted slacks are re-designated as a basic component of both summer white and service dress white uniforms. This policy change facilitates use of the same slacks for either uniform. c. Female Officer/CPO Service Dress White Uniform. Effective immediately, the beltless dress white slacks worn with the female officer/CPO Service Dress white uniform is re-designated as an optional vice mandatory component for purchase and wear. d. Rank Insignia Worn on Rank Tabs. Effective 1 October 2022, all Navy Service Members will wear the black cold weather parka (CWP) rank insignia on all uniform components with rank tabs. Uniform components requiring the black rank insignia in addition to the CWP include the Navy working uniform (NWU) type II and III shirts and parkas, black fleece liner and brown fleece liner. Matching pattern NWU type II/III rank insignia will only be worn on the NWU type II/III during tactical training and operations as designated by the applicable commanding officer. e. Retired Male Sailor Uniform Grooming Standards. Effective immediately, retired male Sailors are authorized to have facial hair (beard) when wearing Navy uniforms during authorized ceremonial events. Facial hair must be neatly groomed and be in keeping with a professional appearance. f. NWU Type III Maternity Top. Redesign of the NWU type III maternity top is in progress to include the ability to add shoulder patches to align with the design of standard NWU shirt. The availability of the redesigned maternity top will be announced in a future NAVADMIN. 4. Navy Uniform Regulations are continuously reviewed for policy applicability, accuracy, clarity and comprehension. Feedback and recommendations regarding uniform policy, uniform components and uniform availability are welcomed and can be provided via MyNavy portal at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/, select *Professional Resources*, *U.S. Navy Uniforms* and *Ask The Chiefs.* Feedback can also be provided via the MyNavy UNIFORMS App. 5. Questions regarding this NAVADMIN should be addressed to Mr. Robert B. Carroll, Navy Uniform Matters and Emerging Issues Branch (OPNAV N13X), robert.b.carroll3.civ(at)us.navy.mil, ETCM(SW/AW/EXW) Richard Baumert, Deputy Branch Head, richard.a.baumert2.mil(at)us.navy.mil, or ETC(SW) Ryan P. Cameron, ryan.p.cameron.mil(at)us.navy.mil. 6. Retain this NAVADMIN until policy changes are incorporated in Navy Uniform Regulations, superseded or canceled, whichever occurs first. 7.

REF G IS THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE FMR VOL 7A, MILITARY PAY POLICY - ACTIVE DUTY AND RESERVE PAY.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces the updated nuclear Enlisted Supervisor Retention Pay (ESRP) policy memorandum, reference (a). This ESRP policy memorandum and NAVADMIN supersede reference (b) and reference (c), respectively, effective 1 August 2022. The ESRP Program provides a retention incentive to senior Navy nuclear- trained enlisted Sailors with highly specialized skills. A detailed program description is outlined in reference (a) and can be found at https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Community- Management/Enlisted/Nuclear/Enlisted-Programs/. The legal authority for ESRP is contained in section 331 of reference (d) and reference (e). Current ESRP requirements limit the program as follows: a. The minimum reenlistment length is 3 years. b. The maximum bonus amount for each year of additional obligated service (AOS) is limited to 30,000 dollars as stated in section 331 of reference (d). The implication of this limit is that to earn a 100,000- dollar bonus the minimum AOS required is 40 months. c. The maximum reenlistment lifetime bonus amount is 360,000 dollars. d. All ESRP payments must be received prior to completion of 28 years of service (YOS). The implication of this limit is that any ESRP installment that would be due after 28 YOS will be paid in the final installment prior to completion of 28 YOS. 2. Notable changes in reference (a) are as follows: a. Zone 2 eligibility is now defined as greater than or equal to 14 years but less than completion of 17 years. b. Zone 3 eligibility is now defined as greater than or equal to 17 years but less than completion of 23 years. c. Provides guidance for ESRP requests to be submitted through the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS). d. Updates compensation for any term of reenlistment is limited to 30,000 per year of AOS (2,500/month of AOS). e. Updates a service member cannot exceed combined SRB and ESRP payments totaling 360,000 dollars in a career. f. Updates that anniversary payments may not be made after completion of 28 YOS. g. Provides clarity that each reenlistment must obligate service into the next zone. 3. ESRP Award Multiples. Award levels remain the same as previously released in reference (c) and are listed below: a. ESRP Zone 1 and Zone 2 award level (AOS computation stops at completion of 16 YOS for Zone 1 and 18 YOS for Zone 2): Rating PNEC Zone 1 Zone 2 ETNSS N13S 9.5 4.5 EMNSS N14S 8.0 4.5 MMNSS N15S 7.5 4.5 ELTSS N16S 7.5 4.5 ETNSW N23S 7.5 4.5 EMNSW N24S 8.0 4.5 MMNSW N25S 7.5 4.5 ELTSW N26S 6.0 4.5 b. ESRP Zone 3 award level (AOS computation stops at completion of 23 YOS): AOS AOS AOS Rating PNEC 1-24mos 25-36mos 37+mos ETNSS N13S 0.5 1.5 2.5 EMNSS N14S 0.5 1.5 2.5 MMNSS N15S 0.5 1.5 2.5 ELTSS N16S 0.5 1.5 2.5 ETNSW N23S 0.5 1.5 2.5 EMNSW N24S 0.5 1.5 2.5 MMNSW N25S 0.5 1.5 2.5 ELTSW N26S 0.5 1.5 2.5 4. Eligibility. Only Sailors assigned with an active supervisor Navy enlisted classification (NEC) listed in paragraph 3 are eligible to reenlist for ESRP. In addition, Service Members must hold a current security clearance or be in an open status for a new investigation. ESRP requests and anniversary payments for personnel with special category NECs (N59X/N89X) will be held in abeyance pending final resolution. Overall, ESRP eligibility requirements are defined in reference (a). To encourage career progression and provide incentive for continued superior at-sea service, the following supplementary eligibility requirements remain in place for each ESRP zone: a. ESRP Zone 1. In addition to the requirements of reference (a), be assigned an active nuclear supervisor NEC (see paragraph 3). b. ESRP Zone 2. In addition to the requirements of reference (a), be a frocked E-7 or in the paygrade of E-7, E-8 or E-9 on the date of the ESRP Zone 2 reenlistment. c. ESRP Zone 3. In addition to the requirements of reference (a): (1) Be a frocked E-8 or in the paygrade of E-8 or E-9 on the date of the ESRP Zone 3 reenlistment and (2) Have successfully previously served as, be currently serving as (on orders) or have been issued and accepted orders as a submarine engineering department master chief, nuclear aircraft carrier (CVN) major division leading chief petty officer, CVN reactor training division officer or CVN reactor department master chief. 5. Application Process. To ensure the approval message is released in a timely manner, ESRP reenlistment requests should be submitted 35 to 120 days in advance of the desired reenlistment date. Exceptions to this policy can be approved by the ESRP program manager on an individual basis. a. ESRP eligible service members must be recommended for reenlistment by their commanding officer. The command may use the checklist (enclosure (l) of reference (a)) to assist in submitting the ESRP request within the NSIPS. b. NSIPS is programmed to accept ESRP reenlistment requests and is the only method of submission. If the command is unable to submit ESRP reenlistment requests due to operational commitments, then the commands immediate superior in command may submit the request via NSIPS. Due to the transition from Officer Personnel Information System Force Management to NSIPS, the ESRP Program Manager can no longer submit a request for a Sailor or command. Entering an ESRP request in NSIPS is similar to that of submitting a SRB request. Other specifics for submitting ESRP requests in NSIPS are stated in reference (a). 6. Officer Programs. ESRP entitlement for Sailors who reenlist after applying for an officer program will be held pending selection results. For limited duty officer, the application deadline is considered the suspense date as published in reference (f) and future announcement messages. For all other commissioning programs, the date on which Nuclear Community Manager (OPNAV N133) approves the conditional release to apply for that program is the date after which additional ESRP entitlements will be held. 7. Recoupment. Repayment policy is governed by section 373 of reference (d), chapter 2 of reference (g) and reference (a), which collectively determines when repayment of the unearned portion of a bonus is required or not required, but left to Secretarial discretion or is prohibited. Section 373 of reference (d), requires repayment with certain exceptions. As a general rule, repayment of any unearned portion of a bonus will be sought. Examples of situations requiring repayment are provided in reference (a). 8. Service Record Entry. An Administrative Remarks (NAVPERS 1070/613) entry acknowledging recoupment policy via NSIPS is required in the record of the Service Member prior to execution of an ESRP reenlistment (examples are provided in enclosure (2) of reference (a)). 9. The point of contact is the ESRP Program Manager located at OPNAV N133 at (703) 604-5502/DSN 664 or via e-mail at nxag_n133d3(at)navy.mil or bullnuke(at)navy.mil. 10. Released by Vice Admiral John B.
