REF D IS THE EDUCATION FOR SEAPOWER STRATEGY.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces changes to reference (a) and incorporates policy changes announced in references (b) through (d). The Department of the Navy Chief Learning Officer and the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Warfighting Development (OPNAV N7) collaborated on and concur with the changes to reference (a). File this NAVADMIN with reference (a) and implement these changes for all future Fitness Reports (FITREPs), effective immediately. 2. Learning, innovation and personal and professional development are part of our Naval heritage. References (b) through (d) build on this tradition by lifting education to a strategic priority alongside our platforms and weapons systems and unifying Departmental leadership direction to regard naval education as a critical warfighting enabler. To achieve a warfighting advantage we must instill continuous learning behaviors in our Navy Total Force to broaden and deepen their warfighting knowledge, which will enable adaptation and improvement, and strengthen mission command to outthink and outfight any challenger to American interests. The global environment is complex and rapidly changing and demands the commitment of the Naval Service to continuous learning and acceptance of education as an operational imperative. 3. To support these goals, and in conjunction with MyNavyHR efforts to integrate education effectively into Sailor 2025 talent management initiatives, FITREPs will include specific comments regarding education, learning and support for a learning culture. This requirement will allow us to identify, select and reward those officers who have demonstrated the commitment and ability to learn, as well as those who encourage and support the learning of others, by placing them into positions of influence at the tactical, operational and strategic levels. a. Reporting Seniors must document: (1) All personal achievements in education and learning that contribute to a culture of continuous learning, improved knowledge and warfighting effectiveness at both the individual and unit level. Resources include: (a) Resident and non-resident professional military education coursework, (b) Professional and academic qualifications and certifications, (c) Civilian education coursework, (d) A personal reading program that includes (but is not limited to) selections from the Chief of Naval Operations Reading List, (e) Participation in discussion groups and military societies, (f) Publishing in national security or military journals, and (g) Involvement in learning through new technologies. For purposes of this NAVADMIN, military societies are organizations that exist specifically to support education, training and professional development of personnel in a given community. The definition of military societies does not include associations intended to promote the morale or general well-being of Service Members. (2) Individual commitment to intellectual growth in ways beneficial to the Navy, including rigorous self-assessment and efforts to improve: (a) Leadership, (b) Decision making, (c) Creativity, (d) Analytic ability, (e) Commitment to ethics, (f) Geopolitical awareness, and (g) Understanding of emerging military technologies and complex military operations. (3) The effort of the individual to support the continuing education of subordinates they command or supervise. (4) The degree to which the officer continued to assess self, develop professionally, improve current skills and knowledge and acquire new skills. (5) The extent to which these achievements increase the breadth and depth of warfighting and leadership aptitude. b. The following guidance alters the scoring criteria for existing performance traits and instructions for written comments to capture educational and learning achievements in the NAVPERS 1610/2 (11-11) (FITNESS REPORT and COUNSELING RECORD (W2-O6)).
