This NAVADMIN announces revised nuclear Enlisted Supervisor Retention Pay (ESRP) award levels and supersedes reference (a). Selective reenlistment bonus (SRB) award levels for nuclear-trained Sailors are published separately in line with reference (b) with updates posted on MyNavy Portal (MNP) under the *SRB* tab at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/pay-and-benefits. The ESRP program provides a retention incentive to senior Navy nuclear-trained enlisted Sailors with highly specialized skills. The legal authority for ESRP is contained in section 331 of reference (c). Current ESRP requirements limit the program as follows: a. The minimum reenlistment length is 3 years. b. The maximum bonus amount for each year of additional obligated service (AOS) is limited to 30,000 dollars as stated in section 331 of reference (c). The implication of this limit is that to earn a 100,000- dollar bonus the minimum AOS required is 40 months. c. The maximum lifetime bonus amount is 360,000 dollars. d. All ESRP payments must be received prior to completion of 26 years of service (YOS). The implication of this limit is that any ESRP installment that would be due after 26 YOS will be paid in the final installment prior to completion of 26 YOS. 2. ESRP Award Multiples. Increased award levels are effective immediately and decreased levels are effective 30 days after the release of this NAVADMIN. Updated ESRP multiple values for Zone 1 (at least 10, but not more than 14 YOS), Zone 2 (at least 14, but not more than 18 YOS) and Zone 3 (at least 18, but not more than 23 YOS) in line with reference (d) are listed below: a. ESRP Zone 1 and Zone 2 award level updates (AOS computation stops at completion 16 YOS for Zone 1 and 18 YOS for Zone 2): Rating PNEC Zone 1 Change Zone 2 Change ETNSS N13S 9.5 4.5 EMNSS N14S 8.0 (+0.5) 4.5 MMNSS N15S 7.5 4.5 ELTSS N16S 7.5 4.5 ETNSW N23S 7.5 4.5 EMNSW N24S 8.0 (+0.5) 4.5 MMNSW N25S 7.5 (-0.5) 4.5 ELTSW N26S 6.0 (-0.5) 4.5 b.

Eligibility. Only Sailors assigned as an active supervisor Navy enlisted classification (NEC) listed in paragraph 2 are eligible to reenlist for ESRP. In addition, Service Members must hold a current security clearance or in an open status for a new investigation. ESRP requests and anniversary payments for personnel with inactive NECs (N59X/N89X) will be held in abeyance pending final resolution. Overall ESRP eligibility requirements are defined in reference (d). In addition, to encourage career progression and provide incentive for continued superior at-sea service, the following supplementary eligibility requirements remain in place for each ESRP zone: a. ESRP Zone 1. In addition to the requirements of reference (d), be assigned an active nuclear supervisor NEC (see paragraph 2). b. ESRP Zone 2. In addition to the requirements of reference (d), be a frocked E-7 or in the paygrade of E-7, E-8 or E-9 on the date of the ESRP Zone 2 reenlistment. c. ESRP Zone 3. In addition to the requirements of reference (d): (1) Be a frocked E-8 or in the paygrade of E-8 or E-9 on the date of the ESRP Zone 3 reenlistment and (2) Have successfully previously served as, be currently serving as (on orders), or have been issued and accepted orders as a submarine engineering department master chief, nuclear aircraft carrier (CVN) major division leading chief petty officer, CVN reactor training division officer or CVN reactor department master chief. 4. Application Process. To ensure the approval message is released in a timely manner, ESRP reenlistment requests will be submitted 35 to 120 days in advance of the desired reenlistment date. Exceptions to this policy will be approved by the ESRP program manager on an individual basis. a. Officer Personnel Information System (OPINS) and Force Management System is programmed to process ESRP reenlistment requests and employs the same process used to request and approve SRB reenlistment requests. Career counselors and personnel support detachments are familiar with this program and should use it as the primary method of ESRP request submission. The ESRP request type is 3AA for Sailors on active-duty and 3BB for broken service requests. b. If OPINS is not available, the command can e-mail (scanned copy of request) or mail the request directly to the ESRP program manager using the format found in reference (d). If operational commitments limit the ability to submit ESRP applications via this manner, commands should submit the ESRP request via message to the immediate superior in charge, who can submit the OPINS request. ESRP requests sent directly to the ESRP program manager by message or mail may result in a processing delay. c. E-6 and below Zone 1 Sailors not already obligated beyond 14 YOS will require an approved career waypoints reenlistment (C-WAY-REEN) quota. Sailors selected for advancement or frocked to chief petty officer do not require an approved C-WAY-REEN quota. C-WAY submission and quota approval can be pursued in parallel with the OPINS request for ESRP. d. A Sailor must be pre-approved for an ESRP reenlistment. ESRP approval will not currently notify the Defense Joint Military Pay System (DJMS) of the intent of the Sailor to reenlist. Until DJMS can be programmed to accept ESRP reenlistment payments, manual processing is required. Payments should post to the account of the Sailor within 14 days following the day the ESRP program manager receives notification of reenlistment. Initial payment will be authorized as soon as the contract execution is reflected in the enlisted master file (EMF). In order to ensure prompt payment, new contracts must be posted to the EMF in a timely manner. e. Personnel support detachments and commands should contact Officer and Enlisted Nuclear Programs Branch (OPNAV N133), as opposed to Defense Finance and Accounting System to resolve any payment issues. f. A Sailor with an approved pre-certification who does not reenlist on the date specified in the pre-certification message must resubmit a request to revise the reenlistment date and ESRP award amount. g. ESRP eligible Sailors and their command career counselors should review reference (d), which provides further program details. Reference (d) and other helpful information can be accessed via MNP at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/career-planning, select the *Enlisted Community Managers* link, then select the *Nuclear* tab in the gray banner. 5. Officer Programs. ESRP entitlement for Sailors who reenlist after applying for an officer program will be held pending selection results. For limited duty officer, the application deadline is considered the suspense date as published in reference (e) and future announcement messages. For all other commissioning programs, the date on which OPNAV N133 approves the conditional release to apply for that program is the date after which additional ESRP entitlements will be held. 6. Recoupment. Repayment policy is governed by section 373 of reference (c), DoD Financial Management Regulation (FMR) Chapter 2, Volume 7A, and reference (d), which collectively determines when repayment of the unearned portion of a bonus is required or not required, but left to Secretarial discretion or is prohibited. Section 373 of reference (c), U.S. Code requires repayment with certain exceptions. As a general rule, repayment of any unearned portion of a bonus will be sought. Examples of situations requiring repayment are provided in reference (d). 7. Service Record Entry. An Administrative Remarks, NAVPERS 1070/613, entry acknowledging recoupment policy via Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System is required in the record of the Service Member prior to execution of an ESRP reenlistment (examples are provided in reference (d)). 8. The point of contact is the ESRP Program Manager located at OPNAV N133 at (703) 604-5502/DSN 664 or via e-mail at nxag_n133d3(at)navy.mil or bullnuke(at)navy.mil. 9. This NAVADMIN will remain in effect until superseded or canceled, whichever occurs first. 10. Released by Vice Admiral John B. Nowell, Jr, N1.// BT #0001 NNNN UNCLASSIFIED//
