RMKS/1. Purpose. This ALNAVRESFOR provides supplemental execution
guidance regarding separation processing of Navy Reserve Personnel
refusing the COVID-19 vaccine as directed in reference (a).
1.a. For the purpose of this ALNAVRESFOR, the term Navy Reserve
Personnel includes all Selected Reserve (SELRES) members,
Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) members assigned to a Volunteer
Training Unit (VTU) and any IRR members currently performing active
duty orders.
1.b. Strategic Sealift Officers (SSOs) in the IRR and other IRR
members in the Active Status Pool (ASP), will be adjudicated per the
governing instructions for the IRR rather than this ALNAVRESFOR.
1.c. For the purposes of this message, use of the word *retirement*
should be read to include Navy Reserve Personnel who are eligible
for non-regular retirement with or without pay.
2. Action. Commanders are directed to initiate separation processing
IAW reference (a) and this ALNAVRESFOR.
2.a. Non-fully vaccinated Navy Reserve Personnel without approved
COVID-19 vaccination exemptions are ineligible for senior leadership
assignments.
2.b. Non-fully vaccinated Navy reserve personnel without approved
exemptions, with military service obligation (MSO) remaining, will
not be transferred to the IRR or VTU.
2.c. Non-fully vaccinated Navy Reserve Personnel without approved
COVID-19 vaccination exemptions are ineligible to telework or
reschedule IDT periods. Authorized absences may be authorized for
non-fully vaccinated Navy Reserve Personnel without an approved
COVID-19 exemption who:
2.c.(1). Have completed all separation processing requirements.
2.c.(2) Are not permitted to enter a DoD facility due to a positive
COVID-19 test.
2.d IAW reference (b) deadlines in reference (a) for Navy Reserve
Personnel not on active duty are adjusted from 21 January 2022 to
31 January 2022 to permit Navy Reserve Personnel the opportunity
during their January 2022 drill weekend to seek advice, and if
eligible, request to retire/separate on or before 1 June 2022.
2.e. IAW reference (b), in cases where Navy Reserve Personnel not
on active duty are notified after 7 January 2022 that their
exemption request was denied, and continue to refuse the vaccine,
will be provided 14 days from the date of such notification or
31 January 2022, whichever is later, to request resignation or
retirement if eligible. Such requests must still ensure resignation
or retirement on or before 1 June 2022.
2.f. Replace reference (a) paragraph 4.c with *Probationary
Officers (as defined in reference (c), but generally less than 5
years commissioned service).*
2.g. Replace reference (a) paragraph 4.d with *Non-Probationary
Officers (as defined in reference (c), but generally greater than
5 years of commissioned service).*
2.h. For enlisted Navy Reserve Personnel, submit separation
packages and letters of transmittal to PERS-9 using the functional
email accounts listed in paragraph 3.
2.i. NAVPERS form 1910/31 Block 4(a) statement shall be *Separation
by Reason of Misconduct Commission of a Serious Offense as
evidenced by violation of Article 92, UCMJ (violation of a lawful
general order - NAVADMIN 190/21 dtd 31 Aug 21 - refusal to be fully
vaccinated against COVID-19)*. The reference shall be *MILPERSMAN
1910-142*
2.j. Standing boards may be utilized to process multiple members
for separation. Funding for board members, Judge Advocates and
Legalmen shall be requested through existing processes.
2.k. Separation reporting. NRCs and RCCs will utilize the Navy
Reserve SharePoint ADSEP Portal to report COVID-19 separation
status. RCCs will request portal permissions from the POC listed
in paragraph 3. RCCs will grant portal permissions to NRCs. CNAFR
and CNIFR will report separation status via DoN Tracker.
2.l. Assign the AAP mobilization availability status (MAS) code to
all non-fully vaccinated Navy Reserve Personnel without an approved
exemption.
2.m. Submit mobilization cancellation requests for non-fully
vaccinated Navy Reserve Personnel without an approved exemption who
are tagged for mobilization but have not yet detached their NRA.
