This NAVADMIN announces revised selective reenlistment bonus (SRB) award levels for active component (AC) and full time support (FTS). This NAVADMIN supersedes reference (a). 2. Increased award levels are effective immediately and decreased levels are effective 30 days after the release of this NAVADMIN. 3. Continuing with the policy initiated by reference (b), reenlistment requests for the following SRB award levels will be approved based on quota availability. 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. Navy Personnel Command Enlisted Career Administration Division (PERS-81) maintains the current list of SRB eligible ratings/skills based on available quotas at the following website: http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers- npc/career/enlistedcareeradmin/pages/srb.aspx. For those commands with limited internet access, command career counselors should contact Enlisted Active Programs (PERS-811) directly for the latest updates. 4. FTS new reenlistment contracts for SRB are not currently being accepted.

Notes a. The SRB for this rating or Navy enlisted classification (NEC) is tied to an incumbent billet or to orders negotiated for the next billet. Commands must verify if the member is currently in, or has orders to a billet requiring this NEC and annotate this verification in the comments section of the precertification request. Personnel not in their negotiating window at the time of reenlistment should sign NAVPERS 1070/613, Administrative Remarks, agreeing to take orders to an NEC billet. The NAVPERS 1070/613 should be forwarded to member*s respective detailer. b. An SRB approval for all CT, IS, IT, and ITS ratings will be contingent upon member having a current single scope background investigation (SSBI), an active SSBI or recent submission of an SSBI package. Commands must verify the member has a current SSBI, active SSBI, or has submitted an SSBI package and make note of this in the comments section of the precertification request. c. Reenlistment bonuses for nuclear trained personnel: (1) Reenlistment compensation for zone 1-3 nuclear trained personnel holding a nuclear supervisor NEC shall be provided under the enlisted supervisor retention pay (ESRP) program in accordance with (IAW) policies and procedures detailed in reference (c). Current ESRP multiples are detailed in reference (d). (2) SRB entitlement for eligible nuclear-trained service members who reenlist after applying for an officer program will be held pending selection results. The date on which conditional release is approved by Nuclear Propulsion Programs (N133) per reference (e) is considered the date of the application to an officer program. d. Letters appearing with an NEC are only for administrative use. e. 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 the officer personnel information system (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 'ETSW' on precertification for rating. f. Subsurface NECs. Subsurface electronics technician 14XXA identifies all subsurface electronics technician communications Sailors who hold NECs beginning with 14. Subsurface electronics technician navigation 14XXB identifies subsurface electronics technician navigation Sailors and includes all subsurface electronics technician navigation NECs beginning with 14. g. Ratings eligible for NEC 0304 are: AWO, ET, QM, and OS. h. 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. i. E-3 to E-6 personnel only. j. E-4 to E-6 personnel only. k. This skill was rolled into 14XXA. 6. Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Guidance. Sailors assigned to LCS platforms or with orders to an LCS platform who possess multiple NECs specifically required for LCS assignment are authorized to reenlist for the most lucrative SRB-eligible NEC, regardless of assigned rating. 7. Reenlistment Opportunity: a. Sailors serving in tier one skills are eligible to reenlist any time within the same fiscal year of their end of active obligated service (EAOS). b. Sailors serving in a tier two or three skill must reenlist in the same fiscal year as their EAOS and within 90 days of their EAOS. c. Sailors serving in a tier two or three skill and eligible for combat zone tax exclusion (CZTE) are authorized to reenlist anytime within the same fiscal year as their EAOS. These Sailors along with command career counselors (CCC) must annotate in the remarks section of the precertification request whether they are currently CZTE eligible or serving in a qualified hazardous duty area. A condition of approval of their precertification request is that the Sailor*s reenlistment occurs in a month during which CZTE qualification applies. d. Sailors serving in tier two or tier three SRB skills who received an *early promote* in block 45 of their most recent regular periodic evaluation will be allowed to reenlist early any time within the fiscal year of their EAOS. No transfer, concurrent, or special evaluations will apply. Sailors advanced within the 12 months prior to their EAOS will be allowed to substitute the last regular periodic evaluation in their previous paygrade. Personnel must e-mail a signed copy of the evaluation to PERS-81 once their precertification has been submitted. This requirement is only for those that fall under the provisions of this paragraph. 8. SRB Precertification Requirements: a. Career Waypoints - Reenlistment (C-WAY-REEN): Commands are authorized to submit SRB reenlistment requests prior to a member receiving a C-WAY-REEN quota; however, the C-WAY-REEN quota request must have been submitted and the SRB request will not be processed until the member has received C-WAY-REEN confirmation. SRB requests without C-WAY-REEN approval will still be rejected in the OPINS to keep the command informed of potential SRB approval issues. Once a member has an approved C-WAY-REEN quota, the command should contact PERS-81 to clear any rejections. b. Commands are required to submit SRB reenlistment requests to PERS-81 via OPINS or Navy standard integrated personnel system (NSIPS) 35-120 days in advance of the Sailor’s requested reenlistment date. Requests submitted less than 35 days prior to the requested reenlistment date will be rejected; however, commands may contact PERS-81 for waiver eligibility and procedures. Sailors must have approved precertification 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. c. Sailors with approved precertification who do not reenlist on the date or for the term specified in the precertification message must have their command contact PERS-81 to initiate a reenlistment cancellation 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 PERS-81 in order to minimize the potential for loss of SRB eligibility. 9. NEC-Specific SRB and Lateral Conversions. 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 Sailor’s enlistment 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), paragraph 12d. Lateral conversion requests will not be processed more than nine months before the EAOS. Conversions to a rate with a lower award level will not be approved. Personnel in a *closed-loop* NEC can reenlist by the NEC only. 10. Obligated Service to Train (OTT) and then Reenlist. See reference (f), paragraph 12e, for OTT guidance. Requests are to be submitted to PERS-81 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 (1RC for FTS) for OTT SRB request in OPINS or NSIPS. 11. Inoperative Extensions Policy. In keeping with Department of Defense (DoD) policy, personnel who accepted an enlistment bonus for extended enlistment (EBEE), as reflected on their NAVCRUIT 1133/52 (EG, NAT or PACT), are not authorized to use this inoperative extension time in the SRB calculation. Sailors who have inoperative extension time through a five-year obligation or six-year obligation program, or as authorized in NAVADMIN 007/09, 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 PERS-81. 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. 12. Repayment. Repayment policy is governed by Title 37 U.S. Code 373, and references (e), (g) and (h), which collectively determine when repayment of the unearned portion of a bonus is required, not required but left to secretarial discretion, or prohibited. Title 37 U.S. Code 373 requires repayment with certain exceptions. As a general rule, repayment of any unearned portion of a bonus will be sought. a. Repayment will not be sought when a member fails to complete an SRB contract IAW with the complete policy cited for each of the following circumstances: (1) Death, not due to misconduct, IAW reference (e). (2) Incurs an injury or illness, not due to misconduct, under specified conditions, resulting in separation or retirement for disability under Title 10 U.S. Code, chapter 61, IAW reference (e). (3) Separation under a hardship or sole survivor discharge IAW reference (f); and (4) Completion of the contract is prevented by the Navy due to specified management actions IAW reference (e). b. Repayment is at discretion of secretarial process when a member fails to complete an SRB contract IAW the complete policy cited for each of the following circumstances. Repayment action will be initiated for these circumstances, until and unless the secretarial process waives or remits recoupment: (1) Separation for medical reasons not covered by paragraph 12a(2), IAW reference (e); (2) Medical reasons preclude completion of SRB contract, but member is not separated and continues in another capacity IAW reference (e); and (3) The secretarial process determines that recoupment is contrary to a personnel policy or management objective, against equity or good conscience, or contrary to the best interest of the United States IAW reference (e). c. Repayment is required for the following circumstances: (1) An approved request for voluntary release from the written agreement specifying the condition for receipt of the bonus or voluntary separation from the naval service; (2) An approved voluntary request for relief from a qualifying assignment; (3) Failure to execute orders to a billet commensurate with the individual*s specialty or skill, grade, or career progression; (4) Disability or physical disqualification resulting from misconduct, willful neglect, or incurred during a period of unauthorized absence; (5) Separation for cause, including misconduct; (6) An approved detachment for cause; (7) Separation by reason of weight control and/or physical readiness test failure; and (8) Any other situation not covered by paragraph 12c. 13. To ensure all requirements and timelines are met, visit the following SRB page of the NPC website: http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers- npc/career/payandbenefits/N130/pages/N130D.aspx. 14. 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 Sailor’s servicing pay office or personnel support detachment. SRB tax information is also discussed in DoD Financial Management Regulation 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 PERS on-line account is their CCC. For technical questions or clarification, CCCs, not individual Sailors, are encouraged to contact PERS-81 at (901) 874-2526/DSN 882, via fax at (901) 874-2623/DSN 882 or via e-mail EMCM(SS) Douglas B. Irish at douglas.b.irish(at)navy.mil or Mr. Francisco Palomo at francisco.palomo(at)navy.mil. 15. We will continue to assess retention behavior and adjust SRB award levels accordingly. 16. This NAVADMIN will remain in effect until superseded or canceled, whichever comes first. 17. Released by VADM W. F. Moran, N1.// BT #1803 NNNN UNCLASSIFIED//
