RMKS/1.  This NAVADMIN announces revised Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) 
award levels and reenlistment policy for Active Component (AC) and Full-Time 
Support (FTS), superseding reference (a).  Due to the high number of SRB 
takers in Fiscal Year 2019 to date, many skills are approaching or have 
already met their SRB quotas.  This NAVADMIN updates the SRB program by 
decreasing award levels for 88 skills in 20 ratings and removing award levels 
for 14 skills in 10 ratings.  Additionally, for administrative purposes, this 
NAVADMIN also lists 102 skills in 34 ratings that were previously closed via 
the Navy Personnel Command (NPC) website when those skills met their SRB 
quotas.  Over the past several years, the Navy has made a concerted effort to 
increase the agility of the SRB program by publishing more frequent updates.  
This message is a continuation of that effort, with an ultimate goal of 
making the SRB program even more agile by publishing all award level changes 
via MyNavy Portal (MNP) at  https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/pay-and-
benefits, then click on the *SRB* tab.  Until that change is made, Navy will 
continue to announce award level increases and decreases via NAVADMIN and 
close skills that reach their quota via the NPC website.

2.  Increased award levels are effective immediately and decreased levels are 
effective 30 days after the release of this NAVADMIN.
Award level closures reflected in this NAVADMIN that previously occurred are 
administrative in nature and are not subject to the 30- day grace period 
afforded to skills being reduced via the release of this NAVADMIN.  Annual 
bonus amounts may not exceed $30K per 12 months of additional obligated 
service as stated in reference (b).
Additional bonus calculation information can be found via MNP.

3.  Reenlistment requests for the listed SRB award levels will be approved 
based on quota availability.  SRB reenlistment requests for FTS are currently 
not being accepted.  SRB reenlistment requests for AC must be submitted to 
the Community Management Support Branch
(BUPERS-328) via Officer Personnel Information System (OPINS) or Navy 
Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) 35 to 120-days in advance of the 
requested reenlistment date for the Sailor.  Eligible Sailors desiring SRB 
reenlistment are encouraged to work with their chain of command as early as 
possible within their reenlistment window to maximize potential for SRB.  For 
information on the current list of SRB eligible ratings/skills based on 
available quotas and to ensure all requirements and timelines are met, visit 
MNP.  Addendums to the current award message posted on this site provide 
notification of skill closures and supersede the current NAVADMIN.  For 
commands with limited internet access, Command Career Counselors (CCC) should 
contact BUPERS-328 directly for the latest updates.

4.  AC SRB award levels are as follows (Note:  a * indicates a level located 
in other sections of paragraph 4, a - indicates a reduction from previous 
award level, a + indicates an increase from previous award level, a ^ 
indicates a skill previously closed via the NPC
website):

    b.  Notes
        (1) Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) 0000, commonly referred to as 
quad zero, is listed here to establish that Sailors in these ratings/career 
fields can hold any or no NEC and still be qualified for the SRB provided 
they meet all other applicable non- NEC related criteria.
        (2) Subsurface or surface designation does not mean an individual 
must be subsurface or enlisted surface warfare specialist qualified, but it 
indicates the component of the rating in which they can reasonably be 
expected to serve.  Training, qualifications and previous or projected duty 
assignments at-sea will indicate the appropriate rating component.  When 
using the force management system and OPINS to input an SRB precertification 
request, use the rating (with appropriate suffix designation/NEC) as 
specified in this NAVADMIN.  For example, a surface electronics technician 
with no NEC would submit *ET(SW)* on precertification for rating.
        (3) An SRB approval for all CT, IS, IT and ITS ratings will be 
contingent upon the Sailor having a current Single Scope Background 
Investigation (SSBI) or Tier 5 investigation, an active SSBI/Tier 5 or recent 
submission of an SSBI/Tier 5 package.
Commands must verify the Sailor has a current SSBI/Tier 5, active SSBI/Tier 5 
or has submitted an SSBI/Tier 5 package and make a note of this in the 
comments section of the precertification request.
        (4) E-3 to E-6 Sailors only.  Sailors selected for E-7 advancement 
are not eligible for SRB.
        (5) X is used as a placeholder to identify where multiple NECs within 
a rating are eligible for a stated award level.  Sailors in the specified 
rating that hold an NEC that includes the numbers preceding X are eligible 
for SRB.  For example, SO O9XA includes SO O91A, and SO O92A or T1XB includes 
all subsurface Electronics Technician navigation NECs contained in T1XA 
series.
        (6) Reenlistment bonuses for nuclear-trained Sailors.
            (a) Reenlistment compensation for zones 1 through 3 nuclear-
trained Sailors holding a nuclear supervisor NEC shall be provided under the 
Enlisted Supervisor Retention Pay (ESRP) program in line with policies and 
procedures detailed in reference (c) along with current ESRP multiples.
            (b) SRB entitlement for eligible nuclear-trained Sailors who 
reenlist after applying for an officer program will be held pending selection 
results.  For nuclear-trained Sailors only, the date on which conditional 
release is approved by Nuclear Propulsion Program Manager (OPNAV N133) as 
directed in reference (d) is considered the date of the application to an

5.  Sailors must reenlist within 180-days of their end of active obligated 
service (EAOS), except in the following cases:
    a.  Nuclear-trained Sailors.
    b.  Sailors who must obligate service (OBLISERV) to execute a permanent 
change of station move will be allowed to reenlist early any time within 1 
Calendar Year of the detachment month, but not later than the date of 
detachment from the last intermediate duty station.
    c.  Combat zone tax exclusion and Early Promote (EP) Sailors who 
submitted SRB requests on or before the release of NAVADMIN 302/18, Selective 
Reenlistment Bonus Update December 2018 and the Implementation of a Pay for 
Performance Pilot, will be grandfathered under paragraph 5 of reference (e).

6.  Pay for performance is a Sailor 2025 initiative and is being piloted as 
part of a talent management process improvement effort.
Eligibility and submission requirements are as follows:
    a.  To be eligible for the pay for performance SRB Pilot Sailors
must:
        (1) Be in the EM, EN, GSM, MM(SW), DC, HT or MR rating.
        (2) Have received two EPs in block 45 of their three most recent 
regular (Block 8) periodic evaluations (Block 10).  No transfer, concurrent 
or special evaluations will apply.
        (3) Have not received Non-Judicial Punishment within the last 3 
years.
        (4) Have not failed any part of the physical fitness assessment in 
the last 3 years.
    b.  Commands must submit a NAVPERS 1306/7, Enlisted Personnel Action 
Request, requesting the SRB kicker, signed copies of the evaluations of the 
Sailor and a printout of their physical readiness information management 
system data to BUPERS-328 once their precertification has been submitted.  
This requirement is only for those that fall under the provisions of this 
paragraph.
    c.  Award ceiling cap values under $100,000 will be raised by
$5,000 for Sailors eligible for the performance kicker.  For
example:  EN Zone A award ceiling will be raised from $30,000 to
$35,000 for Sailors who qualify for the performance kicker.  Award ceiling 
caps will not be adjusted over $100,000 under these provisions.

7.  SRB Submission Requirements
    a.  Commands are required to submit SRB reenlistment requests to
BUPERS-328 via OPINS or NSIPS 35 to 120 days in advance of the requested 
reenlistment date of the Sailor.  Requests submitted less than 35 days prior 
to the requested reenlistment date will be rejected.  However, commands may 
contact BUPERS-328 for waiver eligibility and procedures.  Sailors must have 
an approved SRB request before reenlisting.  The servicing personnel office 
is responsible for verifying the reenlistment, posting the contract, 
releasing the first payment and verifying the master military pay account.  
Commands shall immediately notify the Military Pay and Compensation Branch 
(OPNAV N130) when a Sailor fails to maintain eligibility in the skill for 
which SRB was paid (e.g., loss of security clearance, medical 
disqualification, loss of eligible NEC,
misconduct) or when a Sailor has an approved separation with a remaining SRB 
contract obligation.
    b.  Career Waypoints - Reenlistment (C-WAY-REEN).  Commands are 
authorized to submit SRB reenlistment requests prior to a Sailor receiving a 
C-WAY-REEN quota.  However, the C-WAY-REEN quota request must be submitted.  
In these cases, the SRB request will not be processed until the Sailor has 
received C-WAY-REEN confirmation.
SRB requests without C-WAY-REEN quota approval will be rejected in OPINS to 
keep the command informed of potential SRB approval issues.
Once a Sailor has an approved C-WAY-REEN quota, the command should contact 
BUPERS-328 to clear any rejections.  Failure to submit an SRB reenlistment 
request within the required 35 to 120 day submission window due to awaiting a 
C-WAY-REEN quota does not meet eligibility requirements for a 35 day 
submission waiver.
    c.  Sailors with approved SRB requests who do not reenlist on the date or 
for the term specified in the precertification message must have their 
command contact BUPERS-328 to initiate a reenlistment cancelation to avoid 
placing Sailors in an overpaid status.
    d.  To validate an inoperative extension of enlistment and expedite 
processing of an SRB request, include the following information in the 
remarks paragraph of the request:  term, narrative reason, authority and 
execution date of all inoperative extensions.  Failure to verify extension 
will cause processing delays and may result in rejection of the request or an 
approval at a lower amount.
    e.  Sailors must obtain an approval for extension from BUPERS-
328 in order to minimize the potential for loss of SRB eligibility.

8.  Acceptance of an NEC-specific SRB contract indicates an agreement between 
the Sailor and the Navy to use skills attributed to the NEC during the 
enlistment of the Sailor to meet Fleet readiness requirements.  In subsequent 
tours, a Sailor must be willing to be detailed during the normal projected 
rotation date window to an available billet within the SRB contracted NEC, 
consistent with sea-shore flow requirements.  Lateral conversions must follow 
reference (f), subparagraph 12d.  Lateral conversion requests will normally 
not be processed more than nine months before the EAOS.  Conversions to a 
rate with a lower award level normally will not be approved.  Personnel in a 
closed-loop NEC can reenlist by the NEC only.

9.  Reference (f), paragraph 12e, provides OBLISERV to Train (OTT) guidance.  
Requests are to be submitted to BUPERS-328 extension desk via e-mail.  A copy 
of the authorization message should be retained by the Sailor until the SRB 
reenlistment on graduation day from the course of instruction.  Use code 1CC 
for OTT SRB request in OPINS or NSIPS.  Additionally, OBLISERV requirements 
for schools are provided in reference (g).  OBLISERV will be determined based 
on the course length as provided in paragraph 3b of reference (g).  Paragraph
3c(1) no longer applies.

10.  In keeping with Department of Defense (DoD) policy, Sailors who accepted 
an enlistment bonus for extended enlistment (EBEE), as reflected on their 
Enlisted Bonus Payment Checklist (NAVCRUIT 1133/52, Enlistment Guarantees, 
New Accession Training Program Enlistment Guarantee or Professional 
Apprenticeship Career Track Program Enlistment Guarantees), are not 
authorized to use this inoperative extension time in the SRB calculation.  
Sailors who have inoperative extension time through a 5-year obligation or 6-
year obligation program may continue to have up to 24 months of inoperative 
extension time count towards the SRB calculation provided the reenlistment 
results in a new EAOS that is at least 24 months day-for-day past the current 
extended EAOS.  This calculation is performed automatically by BUPERS-328.  
Local commands are not authorized to cancel or change extensions for the 
purpose of immediate SRB reenlistments.  Commands must verify and annotate on 
the precertification request whether any inoperative extension time noted is 
part of an EBEE contract.

11.  Repayment policy is governed by section 373 of Title 37, U.S.
Code, DoD Financial Management Regulation (FMR) Chapter 2, Volume 7A and 
reference (f), which collectively determines when repayment of the unearned 
portion of a bonus is required or not required but left to Secretarial 
discretion or prohibited.  Section 373 of Title 37, U.S. Code requires 
repayment with certain exceptions.  As a general rule, repayment of any 
unearned portion of a bonus will be sought.

12.  The point of contact for a Sailor who has reenlisted and has not 
received their SRB payment or has questions concerning the taxation of their 
SRB and annual installments is the servicing pay office or personnel support 
detachment of the Sailor.  SRB tax information is also discussed in DoD FMR, 
Volume 7A, Chapter 44, table 44-1, rule 7.  The point of contact for a Sailor 
with questions regarding the SRB program or any information on their on- line 
personnel account is their CCC.  For technical questions or clarification, 
CCCs, not individual Sailors, are encouraged to contact BUPERS-328 at (901) 
874-3215 or (901) 874-3915/DSN 882 or via e-mail at 
mill_incen_pays(at)navy.mil or contact the SRB Help Desk at (901) 874-
2526/DSN 882.

13.  We will continue to assess retention behavior and adjust SRB award 
levels accordingly.

14.  This NAVADMIN will remain in effect until superseded or canceled, 
whichever comes first.
