2.  ISSUE 202001:  PERS 2 publishes a "list of effective changes" for Pay/Personnel/
Travel SOPs.  All SOPs Summary updates are posted at:  
https://mpte.navy.deps.mil/sites/npc/pers2/SOPs%20Updates/Forms/AllItems.aspx. 
Ops Alerts are now issued in a more formal format and have been serialized to 
facilitate ready access and archiving.  All of the NPPSC e-mail Ops Alerts are archived at: 
https://mpte.navy.deps.mil/sites/npc/pers2/NPPSC/NPPSC%20OPS%20ALERTS/Forms/AllItems.aspx
A quick launch link (SOPs Updates & OPS ALERTS) is also on PERS-2, NPPSC, and all of the 
PSD website pages.

As part of the update process 2020 NAVADMINs thru 189/20, PPIBs (thru 20-18), MPAs 
(thru 22-20), NPPSC OPS Alerts, NSIPS Upgrades/Releases/WNFY/Smart Sheets and other 
Pay/Pers community feedback/updates were reviewed to identify additional reference 
documents and procedural changes/work arounds required for the existing SOPs. 
As of 06 July 2020, the most current overall COVID-19 policy can be found in the below 
cited references. Future NAVADMINs updating the policy are anticipated. Refer also to 
ALNAVs for COVID-19 impacts and updates on Department of the Navy Operations. 
The most current policy updates can be accessed from the COVID-19 Resources 
(CHINFO Navy Live Blog) link on the NPC Homepage.

3. Changes/updates with the most significant impact to the SOPs and PAYPERS community 
include:
  
  A. COVID-19 Related Guidance

    1.    ALNAV 067/20 Cancellation of ALNAV 044/20 AND ALNAV 049/20
ALNAV 044/20 Reissuance of Department of the Navy Travel Restrictions in response to 
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Hereby Cancelled).   
ALNAV 049/20 Modification to ALNAV 044/20 Reissuance of Department of the Navy Travel 
Restrictions in response to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Hereby Cancelled). 
Refer to ALNAV 067/20 for most recent guidance.

    2.    NAVADMIN 173/20 U.S. Navy COVID-19 Standardized Operational Guidance Version 2.0
This message updates and replaces the original U.S. Navy Standardized Operational Guidance 
issued in NAVADMIN 155/20, U.S. Navy COVID-19 Standardized Operational Guidance, which 
is hereby canceled. Key updates include: Modifies return to work criteria based on increased 
understanding of the COVID-19 threat; Clarifies post deployment ROM criteria; and, 
Includes additional bubble to bubble transfer considerations.

    3.  NAVADMIN 178/20 COVID-19 Testing

Ref a: DoD COVID-19 Task Force Memorandum, Testing and Reporting of DoD COVID-19 Screening.
Ref b: NAVADMIN 173/20, U.S. Navy COVID-19 Standardized Operational Guidance Version 2.
Ref c: USD P&R Force Health Protection Guidance Supp 10, DoD Guidance for COVID-19 Clinical 
Laboratory Diagnostic Testing Services.
Ref d: USD P&R Force Health Protection Guidance Supp 11, DoD Guidance for COVID-19 Surveillance 
Screening and Testing.
Ref e: NAVADMIN 147/20, Guidance to Commanders on Adjusting Health Protection Conditions and 
Base Services.

This NAVADMIN promulgates Navy’s Sentinel Surveillance Testing (SST) Strategy for COVID-19. 
It formalizes the process to request DoD testing capacity for Navy forces and the requirement 
to report the use of those requested tests per Ref a. This NAVADMIN should be used in conjunction 
with Ref b, as together they support Ref c and Navy’s diagnostic testing approach.  It formalizes 
surveillance testing as directed in Ref d, and provides supplemental guidance to 
Ref e, paragraph 4.c.4. 

Testing for COVID-19 has three primary benefits: 
(1) testing can uncover asymptomatic COVID-positive individuals who could unwittingly spread 
the virus 
(2) testing can assist in bounding an outbreak, and 
(3) surveillance testing can be used to detect disease early (a second wave or resurgence).
Testing also reinforces public health mitigation measures and informs our understanding of 
COVID-19 transmission.

    4.  NAVADMIN 189/20 Navy Mitigation Measures in Response to Coronavirus Outbreak Update 6
Ref a: NAVADMIN 168/20, Navy Mitigation Measures in response to Coronavirus Outbreak Update 5.  
Ref b: Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) Memo on Transition to Conditions-Based Phased Approach 
to Coronavirus Disease 2019 Personnel Movement and Travel Restrictions.  
Ref c: ALNAV 067/20, Cancellation of ALNAV 044/20 and ALNAV 049/20.  
Ref d: Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) Memo on Department of the Navy Implementation of 
Transition to Conditions-Based Approach to Coronavirus Disease 2019 Personnel Movement 
and Travel Restrictions. 
 
This NAVADMIN cancels reference (a), removes personal leave and liberty outside of the 
local area as restricted travel, and, in line with references (b) through (d), transitions 
the stop movement approach to domestic and overseas personnel travel to a conditions-based 
and phased approach to lifting of travel restrictions.  
All other guidance from reference (b) remains in effect until further notice.  

All commands shall continue to take specific actions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 
worldwide and Department of the Navy (DON) Navy Service Members will adhere to Force Health 
Protection Guidance (FHPG), applicable references cited in the NAVADMIN 

This NAVADMIN does not cancel or supersede Combatant Commander (CCDR) guidance for forces 
assigned or allocated to that Combatant Command (CCMD) or within that CCMD Area of 
Responsibility (AOR).  This NAVADMIN is effective immediately and reissues guidance for 
the Navy that will remain in effect until further notice.

  B. NETC PCS Waiver Exempt Memo
 
https://mpte.navy.deps.mil/sites/npc/pers2/SOPs%20Updates/2020/SOP%20CHANGE%20SUMMARY-JUNE-2020
The memo dated 02 July 2020 supersedes memo regarding same subject dated 30 June 2020. Ensure 
distribution so that PSDs and MNCC are informed of the change. 

  C. U.S. Navy COVID-19 Leaders Handbook 
https://mpte.navy.deps.mil/sites/npc/pers2/SOPs%20Updates/2020/SOP%20CHANGE%20SUMMARY-JUNE-2020
The 14 page U.S. Navy COVID-19 Leaders Handbook provides naval leaders at all levels with key 
information to educate their teams on the COVID-19 threat, provide data informed risk 
prevention and mitigation procedures, and distills key high level guidance to thrive within 
the COVID-19 environment.

  D. COVID-19 WAIVER REQUEST Form 
https://mpte.navy.deps.mil/sites/npc/pers2/SOPs%20Updates/2020/SOP%20CHANGE%20SUMMARY-JUNE-2020
***** Important Update NAVADMIN 168/20 has been superseded and canceled by NAVADMIN 189/20****
As many of you can imagine, there is a high volume of waivers that are being submitted to NPPSC/NPC.  
In an effort to expedite this process, please ensure waivers are submitted to NPPSC Admin 
Mailbox at: admin_nppsc.fct@navy.mil NLT 30 days prior to a member’s transfer date.  
Please review the top of the waiver form for proper email submission.  Specifically, the subject 
line in the correct format as it is described:
RANK/RATE LAST FIRST MIDDLE with full official names, in all caps, no commas, no periods, and in 
that order.  The PERS-451 system is designed for this type of entry.

CDR DOE ANDREW ZACHARY, Or
YN2 JONES ANDREW ZACHARY

Additionally, we are requesting entry of the waiver text, from Service Member’s information down 
through Gaining Command POC.  Please cut and paste the text from the waiver form into the body 
of the email.  This will help process waivers exponentially faster.

With the large numbers of requests, these small changes save a massive amount of time in processing, 
thereby allowing the waiver approvals to get back out to the fleet in a more timely manner.  
This greatly reduces stress on Sailors, commands, and PERS-4 as they are getting thousands of 
“where’s my waiver?” questions.  

We are still receiving waiver requests which are not complete.  All waiver requests require the 
gaining command concurrence (State such in the waiver form and that suffices for submission).  
Do not say “please see attached” but include the information in the waiver.

  F. COVID-19 Permanent Change of Station Restart Fact Sheet

https://mpte.navy.deps.mil/sites/npc/pers2/SOPs%20Updates/2020/SOP%20CHANGE%20SUMMARY-JUNE-2020

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic still presents risk to DoD Service members, 
civilians, and their families.  The OSD directed stop-movement order has impacted 42,000 Sailors 
who had orders between March and July 2020.  The Military is taking a conditions-based, phased 
approach to restarting PCS moves as instructed in memo from the Office of the Secretary of 
Defense (OSD.

In order to maximize fleet readiness, high priority sea duty units will be manned first so that 
they are ready to preserve maritime superiority and execute national tasking.  This means that 
the order of PCS moves will be based on the impacts to readiness rather than Projected Rotation 
Dates for those transferring.  The priority of assignments starts with operational sea duty and 
ends with shore duty in the continental U.S.  Because of this prioritization, Sailor’s departure 
dates may either be delayed or accelerated.  Navy Personnel Command (NPC) will work with the member, 
gaining and losing command to evaluate potential hardships and impacts on readiness.

  G.  NDAWS User Guide – included again this month to supplement NAVADMIN 177/20 cited below 

https://mpte.navy.deps.mil/sites/npc/pers2/SOPs%20Updates/2020/SOP%20CHANGE%20SUMMARY-JUNE-2020
As of 18 May 2020, NDAWS is performed through BOL and changes the way that awards are routed, 
signed, and uploaded in OMPF.  The user guide has been linked for reference.

to E4 must complete the Professional Military Knowledge Eligibility Exam (PMK-EE) as a mandatory 
Active Duty E4 advancement requirement by the cycle deadline date (31 January for the Spring 
cycle; 31 July for the Fall cycle). 
This OPS ALERT: Strongly recommends Learning Centers and commands include PMK-EE completion 
requirements in their INDOC briefs to cover all exam pay grades.

    2. Ops Alert 034-20 PCS Restriction of Movement (ROM) COVID-19 Accountability 
How to account for Restriction of Movement (ROM) during a Permanent Change of Station (PCS). 
Below are scenarios with regard to PCS ROM that may help you in determining when and how to charge 
ROM period on the Activity Gain module. While there may be other scenarios, these are the most 
common you will encounter: 
Scenario #1 – Sailor reports to command physically for duty (ACC 100 or 350); Command places 
Sailor in ROM after physically reporting. 
No period of ROM is reported on activity gain. Use report date and start all pay and allowances 
effective this date. 
Scenario #2 – Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders or authorizing official letter has Sailor 
reporting to a location other than Permanent Duty Station (PDS) as an ‘I’ stop (ACC OTHER THAN 100) 
for ROM, then service member reports to PDS for duty (ACC 100). 
ROM period is reported as TDY on panel 4 of activity gain (Using ‘I’ stop UIC). Use PDS report 
date to start all pay and allowances effective this date. 
Scenario # 3 – PCS orders directs Sailor to report to PDS for duty (ACC 100). Sailor arrives in 
geo-location of PDS and informs command via telcon/text msg of arrival, but member did not 
physically report. PDS command informs Sailor to ROM prior to reporting. Sailor physically reports 
to PDS command after a period of ROM. 
Service member ROM period will be accounted for as AD on panel 4. ROM period is reported as 
TT/AD NTE 14 days of ROM unless extended in writing. Gain Sailor on date he/she physically reports 
onboard. Use report date to start all pay and allowances effective this date.
 
    3.   Ops Alert 033-20 Officer Retire Retain Guidance (including Retention on Active Duty in a 
Retired Status Fact Sheet attachment, available at below link) 
https://mpte.navy.deps.mil/sites/npc/pers2/SOPs%20Updates/2020/SOP%20CHANGE%20SUMMARY-JUNE-2020
There are instances where an officer on active duty is permitted to remain on Active Duty in a 
retired status beyond their statutory retirement date. Navy Personnel Command (PERS-8) has provided 
guidance to Navy Pay and Personnel Support Center (NPPSC). The current Ops Alert and Retire/Retain 
Fact Sheet is provided to all PSDs and TSCs on processing procedures for active duty officers 
permitted to remain on Active Duty in a retired status (retire/retain) beyond their statutory 
retirement date. Review all approval letters and orders to ensure the active duty officer’s retention 
date aligns. Officers approved under this authority will have the following statement on their orders: 
“UPON BEING PLACED ON THE RETIRED LIST YOU ARE HEREBY RETAINED ON ACTIVE DUTY IN A RETIRED STATUS 
UNTIL XX XXX XXXX"
