All SOPs Summary updates are posted at:
https://mpte.navy.deps.mil/sites/npc/pers2/SOPs%20Updates/Forms/AllItems.aspx. 
Ops Alerts are issued in a formal format and have been serialized to 
facilitate ready access and archiving.  All of the NPPSC e-mail Ops Alerts are

Refer also to ALNAVs for COVID-19 impacts and updates on Department of the Navy 
Operations. 

3. Changes/updates with the most significant impact to the SOPs and PAYPERS community 
include:

A. Recent ALNAV/NAVADMIN and other COVID-19 Related Guidance

 1. ALNAV 062/21 2021-2022 Department of Navy Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccination Policy 
REF/A/DOC/SECDEF/24AUG21// 
REF A: SECDEF Memo Mandating Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination for DoD Service Members 
Vaccination is the most effective tool we have to prevent widespread manifestation of 
COVID-19 in our force. Within the last year, millions of Americans have received 
approved COVID-19 vaccines in response to this emergency. One of the approved vaccines 
has received full licensure from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This licensure 
approval provides additional confidence and comfort in the safety of the most effective 
tool we have in our arsenal against this threat. Considering this threat to the health 
and readiness of Service Members, vaccination against COVID-19 using a vaccine that has 
received full licensure from the FDA is now a mandatory requirement in accordance with
reference (a). Additional implementation guidance will be issued via Navy and Marine 
Corps administrative message. Refer to NAVADMIN 190/21 below.
The order to obtain full vaccination is a lawful order, and failure to comply is 
punishable as a violation of a lawful order under Article 92, Uniform Code of Military 
Justice, and may result in punitive or adverse administrative action or both. The 
Chief of Naval Operations and Commandant of the Marine Corps have authority to exercise 
the full range of administrative and disciplinary actions to hold non-exempt Service 
Members appropriately accountable. This may include, but is not limited to, removal of 
qualification for advancement, promotions, reenlistment, or continuation, consistent 
with existing regulations, or otherwise considering vaccination status in personnel 
actions as appropriate. 
Additional guidance will be provided with regard to reporting requirements of vaccination 
numbers on a weekly basis to Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Manpower & Reserve Affairs).

 2. NAVADMIN 190/21 2021-2022 Navy Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccination and Reporting Policy
REF/A/DOC/SECDEF/24AUG21//
REF/B/ALNAV/SECNAV/302126ZAUG21//
REF A: SECDEF Memo Mandating Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination for DoD Service Members
REF B: ALNAV 062/21, 2021-2022 Department of Navy Mandatory Covid-19 Vaccination Policy
Disease modeling forecasts that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 
(SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19, will continue to spread throughout the 
remainder of 2021. Data and modeling also indicate that the available vaccines will 
continue to be effective against severe illness and mortality caused by COVID 19. Of 
note, all Navy COVID deaths have been individuals not immunized (one individual was 
partially vaccinated). In consideration of this persistent health and readiness threat 
to Navy service members, vaccination against COVID-19 is now mandatory per references 
(a) and (b). This NAVADMIN provides guidance regarding implementation within the Navy.
Refer to subject NAVADMIN for implementation details.
 
 3. NAVADMIN 180/21 Update 3 to Navy COVID-19 Reporting Requirements 
    REF/A/NAVADMIN/OPNAV/211617ZAPR20// 
    REF/B/NAVADMIN/OPNAV/131734ZOCT20// 
    REF/C/OPNAVINST F3100.6K/10AUG21// 
    REF/D/NAVADMIN/OPNAV/171541ZAPR20// 
    REF/E/DOC/BUMED/27MAR20// 
     REF A: NAVADMIN 115/20 Update to Navy COVID-19 Reporting Requirements. 
     REF B: NAVADMIN 277/20 Update 2 to Navy COVID-19 Reporting Requirements. 
     REF C: OPNAVINST F3100.6K Special Incident Reporting Procedures (Refer also 
to NAVADMIN 181/21). 
     REF D: NAVADMIN 113/20 Restriction of Movement (ROM) Guidance Updated. 
     REF E: BUMED Return to Work Guidance. 
This message supersedes reporting guidance in refs (a) and (b), and supplements 
reporting guidance in ref (c) for COVID-19 reporting only, making vaccination status
a required field for all military personnel. In order to track the efficacy of our 
vaccine against the COVID delta variant, daily roll-up should include vaccination/
immunization status, symptomatic/asymptomatic status, and why tested. The updated 
mass-upload excel file includes vaccination status as a required field and will be 
downloaded and used by all unit level commands no later than 03 September 2021. 
OPREP-3 Navy Blue Message traffic is required in addition to SharePoint reporting for 
1) COVID-19 deaths, 2) media interest events, 3) COVID positive cases while at sea 
regardless of vaccine status, and/or 4) significant operational impacts. 
Reporting via OPNAV SharePoint site is required by all commands for all COVID cases 
for all military, civilians, dependents, and contractors. Once entered, commands 
are required to update changes in case status via the OPNAV SharePoint site within 
24 hours. An updated mass-upload excel file is available on SharePoint site at My 
Navy Portal site https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/navy-covid-19-reporting, with an 
effective implementation date of 03 September 2021. After the implementation date, 
old excel files for mass-uploads will no longer be accepted. 
Refer to subject NAVADMIN for additional details.

B. Ops Alerts
 
 1. Ops Alert 019-21 Amplifying Guidance for High Year Tenure (HYT) Extensions and 
Reenlistments for FY-22 Master Chief Petty Officer (MCPO), Senior Chief Petty Officer 
(SCPO) and Chief Petty Officer (CPO) Candidates
This information applies to the upcoming FY-22 Active Duty Chief Petty Officer 
(CPO) selection board. The purpose of this Ops Alert is to ensure that every 
eligible Sailor approaching HYT is not disadvantaged by the scheduling and timing 
of this year’s selection board results.
CPO selection board is scheduled for adjournment on 10 September 2021, and it is 
unlikely that results will be released by the end of September 2021. Therefore, 
eligible Sailors with a HYT of 30 September 2021, who were eligible for the selection 
board, may request a 60-day extension pending results release. We highly encourage 
applicable Sailors to request the extension now. If the eligible candidates choose 
not to extend the 60-days to await results, they will transfer to the Fleet Reserve 
on 30 September 2021, with the lengthy Board for Correction of Naval Records (BCNR) 
as the only available avenue to accept advancement (after-the-fact).
What This Means To You:
The timeframe to execute an extension will be compressed, be prepared to assist in 
expediting extensions and reenlistments outside of their normal 60-day notification window.
This only applies to board eligible candidates in accordance with NAVADMIN 050/21 
(paragraph 4.c.) and does not in any way change the eligibility lists within the NAVADMIN.
NAVADMIN 050/21: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/References/Messages/NAVADMIN-2021/
For extensions, eligible Sailors are to submit an ePAR/1306 via MNCC to BUPERS 328.

 2. Ops Alert 021-21 Dependency Application (DA)/Record of Emergency Data (Legacy) 
1070/602 Management for Officers in Charge and Directors Attention TSCs/PSDs/NOSCs/CPPAs: 
Effective immediately OICs and Directors WILL grant Personnel Clerk or Personnel 
Supervisor accounts to CPPAs that have proven to be exceptional at the mission and
responsible enough to utilize the access in NSIPS. Prior to granting access, OICs and 
Directors must ensure the following:
  a. CPPAs are to review the provisions outlined in the CPPA RED/DA Manager Letter. 
  b. The Unit Commander and CPPA understands that they are only to do Legacy Dependency 
Application/Record of Emergency Data (1070/602) for their RESPONSIBLE UIC(s) and no 
other functions within NSIPS.
  c. Training has been conducted with CPPAs to properly manage RED/DA, to include the 
operation of NSIPS and reports management. CPPAs utilizing the Personnel Clerk or 
Personnel Supervisor role access can also create RED/DA utilizing the wet signature process. 
PSD OIC/Directors have the authority to grant PERS Clerk and PERS Supervisor access to 
CPPAs that have proven to be exceptional at the mission and responsible enough to 
utilize the access. The access will solely be granted for Dependency Application processes 
and approval. All pay impacting Dependency Applications must be submitted via TOPS with 
key supporting documentation (KSDs) to the PSDs/TSCs for processing. 
Once the process has been completed for wet signature, commands are to maintain copies of 
all wet signature documents at the command level in a tickler file. TSCs, PSDs and NOSCs 
will be required to electronically submit the completed wet signed documents to the OMPF 
(PERS-313). 

Once the wet signature process transaction is completed, the service member/CPPA or 
PSD/TSC representative shall delete any pending RED/DA. This will remove any pending 
RED/DA created self-service transactions that the CPPA, TSC, PSD or NOSC has completed 
via the process on behalf of the service member for wet signature.
What This Means To You:
PSD/TSC/CPPA – Please review this Ops Alert in its entirety and also verify access to 
PERS-2 SharePoint site where the following SOPs and instructions are located.
   (a) MILPERSMAN 1070-270
   (b) MPT&E Standard Operating Procedure
   (c) OPNAVINST 3120.32D
   (d) U.S. Navy Regulations
If misuse of the access for any other transactions occurs, the CPPA will be removed of 
the access and reported to their CoC for further disciplinary action. CPPAs will also 
maintain their CPPA access once granted PERS Clerk or PERS Supervisor access for Legacy 
Dependency Application/Record of Emergency Data (1070/602).

 3. PPIB 21-24 FY-21 Strength Gains and Losses Processing
OPNAV N1 and NPC are preparing for FY-21 End Strength accounting. There has been an increasing 
trend of late processing of strength gains and strength losses throughout the Navy. In order 
to produce accurate End Strength reports to Congress, facilitate timely management of Navy 
fiscal controls, and effectively manage the size of the force, OPNAV N1 depends on field 
activities to process all strength gains and losses in a timely manner.
Requested Action. All field activities that process strength gains and strength losses 
should submit all FY-21 gains and losses to DFAS no later than Monday, October 4th. This 
should include all overdue transactions, not just August or September gains and losses 
unless an administrative process such as a medical hold, legal hold, etc. precludes 
processing the transaction.

 4. PPIB 21-25 TLE Expedited Extension and Approval Process
Temporary Lodging Expense Extension to 60 Days Maximum Request Process. PDTATAC Chair has 
approved an expedited process for documenting and approving Temporary Lodging Expense payments 
up to a maximum of 60 days in Military Housing Areas (MHAs) experiencing a critical housing 
shortage. This change is effective August 25, 2021. These changes are scheduled to appear in 
the Joint Travel Regulation (JTR), paragraph 050601, dated September 1, 2021. 
Required Action for Approval. The extension of TLE entitlement is not automatic. MHA 
locations experiencing a housing shortage that is resulting in longer stays in temporary 
lodging should request to be added to JTR, Table 5-14. This must be completed and approved 
prior to routing any traveler requests for TLE greater than 10 days. The approval process
and the required form are listed on the Defense Travel Management Office (DTMO) website. 
The following web links are provided to assist MHAs with the request and approval process:

	TLE Extension Form:
https://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/Docs/TLE_Extension_Request_Form.pdf
Individual TLE requests will not be considered, Sailors must work with their respective 
MHAs if they are experiencing a housing shortage. TLE extension requests are intended 
for areas where members cannot obtain housing, not just because an area is experiencing 
higher housing costs. Installation Commanding Officers and MHAs should consider the 
availability to obtain housing prior to endorsing TLE extension requests. MHAs experiencing 
housing shortages must send the requests to NXAG_N130C@navy.mil with proper endorsements 
from the Base CO or Installation Commander.

This NAVADMIN announces general military training (GMT) requirements for fiscal year (FY) 
2022. In line with DoDINST 1322.31, Common Military Training, the Navy has minimized the 
number of mandatory GMT topics to empower Commanders to decide what training their personnel 
should receive and how often they should receive it. Commanding Officers (CO) should review 
the command discretion GMT list to determine the frequency and method of additional 
training appropriate for their command. 
FY-22 Command Discretion GMT 
  a. Command discretion GMT is not required at any specified periodicity, but may have 
situational requirements (i.e. initial entry, pre-deployment, career milestones, etc.). 
COs should train their personnel at a time and place that best meets their command and 
mission needs. 
  b. The list of discretionary training topics has been updated to reflect the effort of 
the Culture of Excellence Oversight Committee, to simplify and align policies and programs 
that are duplicative or ineffective. For a comprehensive list of consolidated or cancelled 
training products, refer to NAVADMIN 329/20, Culture of Excellence Simplify and Align.
