Dozens of military doctors and dentists preparing for retirement owe at least three more years of service because of record-keeping errors, the Navy said Friday — the second time in a week that military officials have publicly admitted to discovering administrative oversights that have derailed lives.

At least 65 dentists and physicians with the Navy Reserves have had three to four years of service erased from their records after an error was discovered in how their retirement credits had been calculated, the Navy said. Navy Reserve dentists and doctors provide care to members of any branch of service and their family members.

      For Enlisted - NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE UNIVERSITY

      CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED// ROUTINE R 081621Z MAY 24 MID120001090906U FM CNO WASHINGTON DC TO NAVADMIN INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC BT UNCLAS NAVADMIN 095/24 MSGID/NAVADMIN/CNO WASHINGTON DC/N2N6/MAY// SUBJ/NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE UNIVERSITY// REF/A/DOC/OPNAV/17JAN17// NARR/REF A IS OPNAVINST 3870.6A, OBLIGATED SERVICE REQUIREMENTS FOR INFORMATION WARFARE COMMUNITY ENLISTED PERSONNEL TO ATTEND THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE UNIVERSITY.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN solicits applications from the active-duty enlisted Information Warfare Community (IWC) personnel for enrollment in National Intelligence University (NIU) Bachelor of Science in Intelligence (BSI), Master of Science in Strategic Intelligence (MSSI), and Master of Science and Technology Intelligence (MSTI). These programs aim to prepare personnel for senior positions in the IWC and the broader national security enterprise. 2. NIU is the Intelligence Community's sole, accredited, federal degree-granting institution. It is a unique and technologically advanced university that focuses on the profession of intelligence and is the only institution of higher education in the nation that allows its students to study and complete research in the Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) arena. NIU is committed to offering and continuously maintaining an in-depth curriculum intended to enhance the desired analytical skills and competencies of intelligence analysis to include critical thinking, communications, engagement, and leadership. 3. Active-duty Sailors are eligible for the BSI, MSSI, and MSTI full-time programs. Selectees will be assigned as full-time students under permanent change of station orders to Bethesda, MD, with a July start. As full-time students, Sailors will be required to carry a full academic schedule year- round. Degree requirements must be completed in 12 months. 4. Active and reserve Sailors are eligible for the MSSI and MSTI part-time programs (there is currently no part-time BSI program). Selectees will attend either evening or weekend classes, either in person or via VTC (NIU does not offer asynchronous programs). Weekday part-time students will typically take two classes per quarter, with each class occurring one day per week for three hours over the ten-week quarter (i.e., ten 3-hour classes per class). Weekend part-time students will typically take two classes per quarter, with the classes occurring one weekend per month. Weekend part-time students also take part in an annual intensive 2-week summer program. Degree requirements are typically completed within 2-4 years. 5. Each degree program has specific eligibility requirements which can be found on the NIU website at https://ni-u.edu/admissions/. Competitive BSI applicants will have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale. Competitive MSSI/MSTI applicants will have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale. All applicants must hold or be eligible for a TS/SCI clearance. Orders to NIU will not be issued until the TS/SCI clearance is fully adjudicated. 6. Non-IWC enlisted personnel, who possess the requisite security clearance and meet NIU's eligibility requirements, may request an exception via their detailers and the NIU Navy Service Chair. NIU will not sponsor T5 personnel security investigations for enlisted personnel that do not have the required security clearance. 7. Potential full-time applicants must be active duty and shore tour eligible, in line with their community's Sea Shore Flow. They should begin their application process by contacting their command career counselors. If the NIU class start time requires the applicant to depart their current command early, they must request command concurrence before continuing the application process. Next, applicants must contact their detailers to discuss the implications for their current assignments and careers. Detailer release is required for this program. Failure to gain release may result in withdrawal of selection. Once the applicant has been released, the applicant will notify the NIU Navy Service Chair (see POC information below). The applicant will then submit their application via the instructions on the NIU website at https://ni-u.edu/admissions/. Finally, the NIU Navy Service Chair will submit a nomination memo to NIU Admissions on behalf of all full-time Navy applicants. 8. NIU's full-time academic year (AY) runs from July to June each year. Applicants should receive detailer release no later than the end of October of the year prior to the start of their desired AY. For example, applicants for AY25-26 must receive detailer release no later than October 31, 2024. Applicants are highly encouraged to begin the process early and not wait until the last moment. 9. Potential part-time applicants must be located within the National Capital Region (NCR) and/or assigned to a major intelligence center (e.g., ONI, Combat Support Agency, Combatant Command JIOC) with access to TS VTC facilities for the duration of their NIU education program. The applicant will then submit their application via the instructions on the NIU website at https://ni-u.edu/nominations/ nomination memo from the NIU Navy Service Chair is required. 10. Per OPNAVINST 3870.6A, full-time applicants for the MSSI or MSTI programs must obligate 60 months of service. Full-time applicants for the BSI program must obligate 54 months of service. Obligated service reflects the total time while in the education program and post-education. Part-time applicants do not incur a service obligation if the course work does not occur during working hours. 11. General information about NIU can be found at https://ni-u.edu/about- niu/. 12. The NIU point of contact is CDR Jay McVann, NIU Navy Service Chair, at jay.p.mcvann(at)odni.gov. 13. This message will remain in effect until superseded. 14. Released by Vice Admiral K. O. Thomas, Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information Warfare, OPNAV N2N6.// BT #0001 NNNN CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED//
