This NAVADMIN solicits applications for the 2020 Navy Legislative Fellows Program. The Legislative Fellows Program allows naval officers, senior enlisted and Department of the Navy civilians to broaden their understanding of the legislative process and the operation of the U.S. Congress through a year-long full-time assignment to the office of a member of the House of Representatives or the Senate. The Legislative Fellows Program also enhances the ability of the Navy to fulfill its role in the national policy development process. 2. This is a highly competitive program. Records must reflect sustained superior performance and potential for future assignments in critical billets. Upon completion of the program, officers earn the legislative fellowship additional qualification designation. 3. Military Applicants. Participation is open to all Active Duty and Full- Time Support unrestricted line, restricted line and staff corps officers in the permanent grades of O-3 through O-5. Enlisted participation is open to all Active Duty Navy occupational specialty codes in the permanent grades of E-7 through E-9. The selection process will focus on individual performance, promotion potential, academic and subspecialty qualifications, needs of the Navy and availability for follow-on assignment. Officers with permanent change of station orders already issued will not be considered. a. Applicants must be available for permanent change of station assignment to Washington, DC, from November 2019 through December 2020. During the fellowship, officers and senior enlisted Sailors will be assigned to the Office of Legislative Affairs for administrative purposes.
