RMKS/1.  This NAVADMIN announces: 
    a.  PRIMS-2 will be available for the Calendar Year 2022 (CY2022) 
Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA). 
    b.  Revised forearm plank standards. 
    c.  Provides additional guidance for the CY2022 PFA. 
 
2.  PFA Cycle 2022.  The cycle will be conducted from 1 April to 30 September 
2022 in line with references (a) and (b).  All medically cleared Sailors will 
participate in all three fitness modalities (push-ups, forearm plank, cardio 
or alternate cardio) to determine their CY2022 PFA cycle overall score. 
Forearm planks will count for PFA score.  Physical Readiness Guides to 
include references (c) through (e) are located at: 
https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Support-Services/21st-Century-Sailor/Physical-
Readiness/Guides/. 
    a.  The Physical Readiness Office will open the PFA Cycle 2022 in 
February 2022.  This PFA Cycle will be labeled PFA Cycle 1 2022 in PRIMS-2. 
    b.  Sailors will have access to physical readiness information through 
MyNavy Portal My Records and will electronically submit their Physical 
Activity Risk Factor Questionnaire (PARFQ) via MyNavy Portal upon their 
respective commands 10-week notification.  This is a change from the previous 
version of PRIMS. 
    c.  Revised Forearm Plank Standards. 
        (1) We learned from an analysis of 26,000 forearm plank records from 
the CY2021 PFA that Sailors performed well overall, there is a minor gender 
performance differential. 
        (2) As a result, we revised the forearm plank standards to be gender 
specific (i.e., separate male and female scoring tables) with a gradual age 
group stratification.  The Updated male and female forearm plank standards 
can be found in reference (d).  PFA calculators in both MyNavy Portal and the 
official PFA App are scheduled to be updated prior to 1 April 2022. 
    d.  Command Fitness Leaders (CFLs) and Assistant CFLs (ACFLs) guidance: 
        (1) CFL/ACFLs will enter PFA data into PRIMS-2 for the PFA Cycle 
2022. 
        (2) Prior to 1 April 2022, CFLs will be able to verify command 
rosters, assign members to departments and divisions, see commands reports 
and release/gain Sailors. 
        (3) On 1 April, CFL/ACFLs may enter scores into PRIMS-2.  CFL/ACFLs 
are prevented from entering scores until the PFA cycle commences. 
        (4) The number of ACFLs having access to PRIMS-2 for data entry will 
be limited based on command size (1 per 100 members due to licensing costs) 
and is different than the required number of ACFLs per command to effectively 
administer the PFA (1 per 25 members). 
        (5) CFLs should refer to reference (e) for detailed guidance. 
    e.  PRIMS-2 Training.  PRIMS-2 training will be offered bi-monthly for 
CFLs and ACFLs via Microsoft Teams.  Requests for training should be 
submitted to PRIMS(at)navy.mil.  Familiarization training materials are 
posted on the Physical Readiness program (PRP) website at: 
https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Support-Services/21st-Century-Sailor/Physical-
Readiness/ and also available to back-end users (CFL, ACFL, and Special User) 
via PRIMS-2. 
    f.  Validation.  Sailors who meet the criteria for *validation* in PFA 
Cycle 1 2022 will be eligible for exemption from participation in the PRT 
portion of PFA Cycle 1 2023 provided Sailors meet Age Adjusted Standards for 
the Body Composition Assessment (BCA) (i.e. everyone needs to take the BCA). 
This validation is contingent upon the Navy conducting two PFA cycles in 
2023. 
    g.  COVID-19 Environment.  The PFA Cycle 1 2022 will be conducted using 
procedures outlined in reference (c) and based on local health protection 
conditions (HPCON).  CFLs will adhere to all local HPCON safety measures 
prior to execution of the PFA. 
 
3.  PRIMS-2.  To gain access to PRIMS-2, the following must be provided to 
PRIMS(at)navy.mil: 
    a.  CFL access:  CFL Certification Course Certificate, CFL Transfer 
Designation Letter and SAAR-N Form. 
    b.  ACFL access:  Command ACFL Designation Letter and SAAR-N Form. 
Step by step instructions for completing a SAAR-N Form are located at: 
https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Support-Services/21st-Century-Sailor/Physical-
Readiness/Forms/. 
 
4.  Contact the PHP Office for additional information: 
    a.  For policy related questions via e-mail at PRP(at)navy.mil. 
    b.  For PRIMS related questions via e-mail at PRIMS(at)navy.mil. 
    c.  For policy or PRIMS related questions via phone at (901) 874-2210/

5.  This NAVADMIN will remain in effect until superseded or canceled, 
whichever occurs first.

      MONTGOMERY GI BILL PROGRAM UPDATE

      CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED// ROUTINE R 211934Z SEP 23 MID120000465065U FM CNO WASHINGTON DC TO NAVADMIN INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC BT UNCLAS NAVADMIN 226/23 PASS TO OFFICE CODES: FM CNO WASHINGTON DC//N1// INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC//N1// MSGID/GENADMIN/CNO WASHINGTON DC/N1/SEP// SUBJ/MONTGOMERY GI BILL PROGRAM UPDATE// REF/A/DOC/DOD/28DEC22// REF/B/DOC/BUPERS/5OCT04// NARR/REF A IS DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE INSTRUCTION 1322.16, MONTGOMERY GI BILL PROGRAM. REF B IS BUPERS INSTRUCTION 1780.1A, GI BILL EDUCATION BENEFITS PROGRAMS. RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN implements changes to the period of election to enroll/disenroll from the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB) as announced in reference (a) and serves to update policies and procedures in reference (b). These changes have the potential to impact Sailor pay due to the fact that MGIB will cost $1,200 for each Sailor who does not actively opt out of MGIB. Note that opting out of MGIB benefits does not impact the Service Member's Post 9-11 GI Bill benefits. 2. Effective 5 January 2023, Active Duty Service Members are no longer authorized to make a decision to opt out of MGIB during initial entry training. The opt out window will now occur between days 180 and 270 of service, counted from the first day a member enters Active Duty. During this 90-day window, all Service Members must be counseled and make a decision to opt out of MGIB. 3. Eligibility. With the exception of graduates of the U.S. Naval Academy, Reserve Officer Training Corps Scholarship Program, and members with prior Active Duty service, all Service Members who enter Active Duty are automatically enrolled in MGIB unless they opt out during the 90-day window discussed in paragraph 2. 4. Enrollment. Eligible Active Duty Service Members will be automatically enrolled under the MGIB Program, unless they decline this benefit. In line with reference (b), a signed MGIB Act of 1984 Basic Enrollment form (revised September 2022), Department of Defense (DD) Form 2366, is required to be signed by all eligible members. Service Members may only complete the form once and the election is irrevocable. 5. Mandatory Counseling. All Active Duty Service Members will be counseled on the MGIB program at least once before their 270th day and must be given the opportunity to opt out of MGIB between their 180th and 270th day of Active Duty. If not declined, payroll deduction for MGIB enrollment will begin the month following the Service Member's 270th day at $100 per month for 12 months. Note that the Post 9-11 GI Bill is no cost to the Service Member. 6. Since the majority of affected Service Members will still be in the training pipeline when they reach their decision window, MyNavy HR will provide the required counseling and ensure a signed election form is received and processed for those Service Members. For Service Members who report to their command before their election window, commands will be responsible for taking the following actions: a. Provide counseling on education opportunities. MGIB New Accession Counseling tool is available at https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Education/GI-Bill/MGIB-Enrollment/. b. Advise Service Members of their 90-day MGIB election window to ensure timely completion of enrollment/disenrollment requirements and to prevent erroneous pay deductions. No later than day 240 ensure all Service Members have completed, electronically signed, and submitted the DD Form 2366 to ensure timely processing ahead of day 270. c. Command Pay and Personnel Assistants will submit DD Form 2366 to MyNavy Career Center and must periodically review the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System to ensure that all Sailors at their command are counselled and complete their election in the designated window. 7. For specific instructions, best practices for counseling, completing and submitting DD Form 2366, refer to training presentation at https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Education/GI-Bill/MGIB-Enrollment/. 8. For questions concerning MGIB policy, contact LCDR Matthew Sullivan at (703)604-5310 or matthew.c.sullivan16.mil@us.navy.mil. 9. This NAVADMIN will remain in effect until superseded or canceled, whichever occurs first. 10. Released by Vice Admiral Richard J. Cheeseman, Jr., N1.// BT #0001 NNNN CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED//
