POLICY UPDATE FOR MEMBERS APPROACHING ACTIVE DUTY

NARR/REF A IS THE SUPPLEMENTAL MAS AND IMS CODE GUIDANCE TO THE NAVY
RESERVE PERSONNEL MANUAL. REF B IS OPNAVINST 1001.27A, POLICY AND
PROCEDURES FOR RESERVE COMPONENT SAILORS' SERVICE BEYOND 16 YEARS OF
ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE//
RMKS/1. This ALNAVRESFOR supplements reference (a), revising the
criteria for the application of the SAD MAS code. Reference (b)
requires an OPNAV N13 approved waiver for an RC member who has
already or will attain 16 years of active duty (AD) service by the
completion of mobilization or Active Duty for Operational Support
(ADOS) orders.
2. In support of the waiver requirements delineated in reference
(b), the following timeline for the application of the SAD MAS code
in reference (a) is implemented upon release of this ALNAVRESFOR.
3. Program Guidance.
 a. The application of the SAD MAS code is revised from 16 years
or more of qualifying Total Active Duty Service (TOTAS) to 15 years
of TOTAS.
 b. Application of the SAD MAS code will no longer be
disqualifying for an RC member to be mobilized. Instead, CNRF N35
will account for an RC member's TOTAS and the total length of the
mobilization to ensure that an RC member will not attain 16 years
or more of AD service while executing the mobilization. If the
TOTAS of the RC member and the length of the mobilization, with
associated demobilization processing, will exceed 16 years AD
service, the RC member will only be sourced to the mobilization
with an OPNAV N13 approved 16 year waiver.
4. A separate waiver is required for each set of non-training
orders beyond 16 years cumulative AD service. Supported commands
requesting non-training orders for reserve members who currently
have, or at the completion of orders will have, 16 or more years of
cumulative AD service must seek permission from OPNAV (N13) prior
to issuance of orders. Approval of a 16 year waiver does not imply
intent to allow reserve members to exceed 18 years of cumulative AD
service and enter sanctuary. Instructions for submitting waivers are
contained in reference (b).
5. This ALNAVRESFOR will remain in effect until superseded or
cancelled, whichever occurs first.
