The purpose of this NAVADMIN is to implement key force management personnel policy actions in the enlisted active component to ensure the Navy remains fully manned and operationally ready. References (a) and (b) are hereby updated for enlisted personnel. For those who have decided to separate, please review reference (c) for additional career progression opportunities in the Navys Selected Reserves. Navy encourages all qualified Sailors to stay Navy. See your career counselor for more information. While we strive to retain all qualified Sailors, commanding officers should continue to exercise their obligation to document performance and adjust their recommendation for retention, accordingly. 2. Sailors are encouraged to look for selective reenlistment bonus (SRB) updates frequently to take advantage of the opportunities published on the Navy’s SRB website at: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/References/Pay-Benefits/N130D/. Please keep in mind SRB levels may be adjusted up or down depending on rating health. 3. Early Separation Cancellation. Effective immediately, all enlisted early out programs and new time in grade requirement waivers are hereby cancelled. Service commitments such as enlistment contracts, service obligations for accepting permanent change of station orders, advancements, bonuses, training, etc., will be fulfilled. Service members experiencing difficulty in fulfilling obligated service requirements are encouraged to work with their chain of command and respective detailers to examine available alternatives to complete their obligation. a. Commanding officers still retain the 90-day early out authority for policy outlined in references (d) and (e). b. Service members previously granted approval will not be affected by this policy change. c. Service members interested in pursuing commissions in the Navy are still encouraged to submit requests. As always, these requests will be considered on a case by case basis. d. United States Space Force applicants are not affected by this policy change. 4. Delaying separation or retirement. The Navy is accepting applications from enlisted personnel who desire to delay their separation or retirement. The deadline for application submission is 31 August 2022. a. Service members with an approved separation or retirement date on or before 31 March 2023 are eligible to submit a request to their detailer to have their separation or retirement date delayed and projected rotation date (PRD) extended, up to 30 September 2023, if the billet they are in upon submission of the request will be gapped upon their departure. Requests to extend beyond 30 September 2023 will be considered on a case by case basis for expected gaps in operational billets. b. All Service members interested in extending retirements are invited to apply to their PERS-40 detailer to have their PRD extended no later than 90 days prior to the start of their previously requested terminal leave date or retirement date, (whichever comes first), via their chain of command utilizing their previously submitted Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) voluntary retirement request. For example, if the Service members terminal leave date starts on 8 May 2023, then the request will have to be submitted on or before 7 February 2023 into NSIPS. NOTE: A form 1306/7 Electronic Personnel Action request (ePAR) is not required for previously submitted or approved retirements. Priority for approval will be given to those Service members filling sea duty and critical billets that would otherwise be gapped. c. In line with reference (f), Service members who are separating or retiring due to high year tenure (HYT) may apply for a HYT waiver of their current HYT gate. HYT waivers will be considered for up to an additional 12 months for enlisted Sailors filling critical operational billets both at sea and shore that would otherwise be gapped, while maintaining the service members eligibility for advancement. Those service members will submit a command-endorsed ePAR to MyNavy Career Center (MNCC) via MyNavy Portal or by emailing the ePAR request directly to askmncc(at)navy.mil. Requests will be approved on a case by case basis. d. Service members with an approved separation or retirement date that are in a sea duty billet, will remain on sea duty if their request for voluntary extension is approved. (1) Sailors with an approved separation or retirement date who are in billets that are eligible for Sea Duty Incentive Pay (SDIP), and who are approved for a voluntary extension that exceeds their prescribed sea tour by at least 12 months, will receive SDIP. (2) Exceptions to the timeline to request SDIP and to the length of extension for SDIP will be granted by Enlisted Distribution Division (PERS-40) to accommodate these requests. The latest SDIP eligibility chart can be found at https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/References/Pay-Benefits/SDIP/. This chart is updated periodically so check for recent additions. For Service members who are in a SDIP eligible billet, an ePAR should be submitted to MNCC at askmncc(at)navy.mil and their detailer. (3) Service members approved for extension under this policy remain eligible to participate in the Navy wide advancement exam, or may be considered for advancement determination by a selection board if eligible, as long as they meet terminal eligibility date requirements set forth in reference (g). c. While all service members are encouraged to apply, the following will not be considered: (1) Service members who have executed any portion of their separation or retirement orders (e.g., household goods shipment). (2) Service members pending mandatory separation or retirement for age. (3) Service members approved for disability separation or retirement. (4) Service members being separated for misconduct. 5. If you have any questions regarding delaying a Service members separation or retirement date contact the appropriate detailer, their Enlisted Community Manager, or the MNCC at: askmncc(at)navy.mil or phone: 1-833-330-MNCC(6622).
