Certification shall commence upon the release of this NAVADMIN and continue through 31 August 2017. In line with reference (a), commands that do not complete the required certification by 31 August 2017 will have their Sailors SDAP terminated retroactive to 1 June 2017. 2.

(2) Annual SDAP report requesters are to include their primary unit identification code (UIC) in the subject line and any required subordinate UICs in the e-mail body.

Commands with no AMM will need to submit a CMS-ID AMM access request as outlined on the Navy Personnel Command (NPC) web site http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers- npc/enlisted/cmsid/Pages/default2.aspx. b. Verify your command as a whole and make changes as follows: (1) Add all Sailors who are eligible for SDAP, but not listed in the annual SDAP report. To add, simply handwrite or type the name, rate, effective date, and level on the bottom of the Annual SDAP report. If there is not enough space, attach a list on command letterhead. (2) Draw a line through any Sailor who is no longer eligible and put a brief description as to why they are no longer eligible (transfer/separation/loss of Navy Enlisted Classifications).
