This NAVADMIN announces updates to the High Year Tenure (HYT) policy by amending HYT length of service (LOS) gates for master chief petty officers currently serving as rated command master chiefs or NEC qualified command master chiefs in the case of Full Time Support (FTS) and Selected Reserve (SELRES) master chief petty officers. Revisions to references (a) and (b) are forthcoming and will be published at a later date. All other HYT policy contained in reference (b) remains in effect. 2. The HYT policy of the Navy establishes LOS gates by paygrade. The Navys continuing efforts to improve retention of talented and experienced Sailors includes retention of our best senior enlisted leaders during the height of their knowledge, education, and value to our organization. This NAVADMIN will also grant the additional time needed to gain experience to prepare them, as they progress in their careers, to serve Flag or General Officers (FO/GO), Commanding Officers, and Sailors. 3. Effective 1 January 2019, HYT policy is amended to reflect new LOS gates for rated Active Duty Fleet (FLTCM), Force (FORCM) and Command (CMDCM) master chiefs and NEC qualified FTS and SELRES master chiefs. Effective 1 January 2019, HYT LOS gates are as follows: Rating HYT (current) HYT (new) All MCPO ratings except 30 30 CMDCM/FORCM/FLTCM CMDCM 30 32 CMDCM (1/2-star FO/GO) 32 34 CMDCM/FORCM/FLTCM (3/4-star FO/GO) 35 36 MCPON 38 38 4. Eligibility guidelines. For those personnel planning to transition to the Fleet Reserve or retire under current HYT LOS, and who would be subject to the new HYT LOS gates effective 1 January 2019, the following guidelines are provided: a. AC and FTS members who currently have approved Fleet Reserve or retirement dates on or after 1 January 2019 and before their new HYT LOS must decide no later than 31 October 2018 if an opportunity for placement into a new assignment exists, either through the Command Senior Enlisted Leader Management Office (CSELMO) Director (for FO/GO opportunities) or through the Command Senior Enlisted Leader (CSEL) Detailer. (1) If an opportunity for placement into a new assignment is not possible, the member will not remain on active duty and will execute their Fleet Reserve or Retirement orders as originally planned. (2) If an opportunity for placement into a new assignment is possible, and in line with paragraph 4a above and reference (c), members with an approved Fleet Reserve or retirement date who desire to remain on active duty will submit a cancellation request to Commander, Navy Personnel Command (COMNAVPERSCOM) Enlisted Retirements Office (PERS-836) at the following e- mail address: enlisted_active_duty_retirements(at)navy.mil. Once received, approval of Fleet Reserve or retirement cancellation requests serves as authority to cancel previously issued retirement orders, which are issued by the local supporting personnel office, and serves as authority for members to obligate additional service to reach the new HYT date, as directed on the new set of issued orders. PERS-836 will forward all approved cancellation requests to COMNAVPERSCOM, Enlisted Assignment Division (PERS-40). b. Members in receipt of either Fleet Reserve or retirement orders who have executed any portion of those orders, to include movement of household goods or dependents, shall include this information in their request to PERS- 836 for Fleet Reserve and retirement to be considered for approval on a case- by-case basis. c. SELRES members who reach HYT on or after 1 January 2019 and before the new proposed HYT gates must decide no later than 31 October 2018 if an opportunity for placement into a new assignment exists through the Force Master Chief of the Navy Reserve. If placement is not possible, the member will not remain in the Reserves and will be required to submit for retirement (with or without pay). Orders will be issued by Commander, Navy Reserve Forces Command (CNRFC) upon approval. d. Reserve Component Master Chief Petty Officers of the Individual Ready Reserve that have the 8CMC NEC and are assigned to the Voluntary Training Unit are not in a CMDCM billet. Those MCPOs that desire to mobilize to a validated E9 8CMC requirement will be screened by Commander Navy Reserve Forces Command and if applicable can submit a HYT Waiver request as outlined in reference (b). 5.
