(SRB) AWARD LEVELS FOR ACTIVE COMPONENT AND RESERVE COMPONENT FULL TIME
SUPPORT (FTS) AND SUPERSEDES REF A.  INCREASED AWARD LEVELS ARE
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY AND DECREASES ARE EFFECTIVE 30 DAYS FROM RELEASE
OF THIS MESSAGE.
2.  WHILE THE SRB PROGRAM CONTINUES TO BE THE NAVY'S PRIMARY MONETARY
INCENTIVE TO ENCOURAGE SAILORS WITH CRITICAL SKILLS AND VALUABLE
EXPERIENCE TO STAY NAVY, IT IS INCUMBENT UPON THE NAVY TO REMAIN WITHIN
CONGRESSIONALLY AUTHORIZED FUNDING LIMITS.
ADDITIONALLY, SRB IS USED TO HELP MINIMIZE OVER-EXECUTION OR UNDER-
EXECUTION OF CRITICAL SKILL RETENTION GOALS.  THEREFORE, AS
REENLISTMENT GOALS FOR PARTICULAR SKILLS ARE ACHIEVED, SRB AWARD LEVELS
FOR THOSE SKILLS WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE PLAN, BUT NO EARLIER THAN 30
DAYS FOLLOWING THE RELEASE OF THIS NAVADMIN.
NAVADMINS WILL BE RELEASED AS SKILLS ARE REMOVED FROM THE PLAN; HOWEVER,
THIS NAVADMIN CONSTITUTES THE 30-DAY NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENT SET BY
DOD POLICY FOR ANY SKILL SUBSEQUENTLY REMOVED FROM THE PROGRAM.
SAILORS ARE ENCOURAGED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SRB AS SOON AS ELIGIBILITY
REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN MET ACCORDING TO THIS NAVADMIN AND REFS B AND C.
3.  ALL SRB SKILLS FOR FY10 HAVE BEEN EVALUATED AND PLACED IN ONE OF
THREE TIERS.  VARYING AWARD LEVELS AND EARLY REENLISTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
HAVE BEEN PROVIDED FOR EACH TIER.  SAILORS SERVING IN TIER ONE SKILLS,
AS WELL AS THE EXCEPTIONS OUTLINED IN REF B, PARA 12.A AND REF C, PARA
4 ARE ELIGIBLE TO REENLIST EARLY ANY TIME WITHIN THE FISCAL YEAR OF
THEIR EAOS.  NUCLEAR SAILORS MAY STILL CROSS FISCAL YEAR BOUNDARIES.
SAILORS SERVING IN TIER TWO OR TIER THREE SKILLS WHO RECEIVED AN EARLY
PROMOTE ON THEIR MOST RECENT REGULAR PERIODIC EVALUATION REPORT MAY
ALSO REENLIST ANY TIME WITHIN THE FISCAL YEAR PRIOR TO THEIR EAOS (SEE
PARA 6 FOR MORE DETAILS AND GUIDELINES).  ALL OTHER SAILORS IN TIER TWO
AND TIER THREE SKILLS MAY REENLIST UP TO 90 DAYS IN ADVANCE OF THEIR
EAOS AS DIRECTED IN REF C.  ALL SAILORS, REGARDLESS OF SKILL TIER MUST
MEET ALL ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA UNDER PARA 9 AND MUST SUBMIT

(12) NEC 8201, 8278, 8289 ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THIS FTS SRB.
6.  EARLY REENLISTMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR "EARLY PROMOTE" SAILORS SERVING
IN TIER TWO OR TIER THREE SRB SKILLS.  SAILORS SERVING IN TIER TWO OR
TIER THREE SRB SKILLS WHO RECEIVED AN "EP" IN BLOCK 45 OF THEIR MOST
RECENT REGULAR PERIODIC EVALUATION OR FITNESS REPORT WILL BE ALLOWED TO
REENLIST EARLY ANY TIME WITHIN THE FISCAL YEAR OF THEIR EAOS.  NO
TRANSFER, CONCURRENT, OR SPECIAL EVALUATIONS WILL APPLY.  SAILORS
ADVANCED WITHIN THE 12-MONTHS PRIOR TO THEIR EAOS, WILL BE ALLOWED TO
SUBSTITUTE THE LAST REGULAR PERIODIC EVALUATION OR FITNESS REPORT IN
THEIR PREVIOUS PAY GRADE.
PERSONNEL MUST FAX OR EMAIL A SIGNED COPY OF THE EVALUATION TO
PERS-811 ONCE THEIR PRECERT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED.  THIS REQUIREMENT IS
ONLY FOR THOSE THAT FALL UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH.
7.  THE FOLLOWING GUIDANCE IS PROVIDED ON NAVY ENLISTED CLASSIFICATION
(NEC) SPECIFIC SRB AND LATERAL CONVERSIONS.
ACCEPTANCE OF AN NEC-SPECIFIC SRB CONTRACT INDICATES AN AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE SAILOR AND THE NAVY TO UTILIZE SKILLS ATTRIBUTED TO THE NEC
DURING THE SAILOR'S ENLISTMENT TO MEET FLEET READINESS REQUIREMENTS.
IN SUBSEQUENT TOURS, A SAILOR MUST BE WILLING TO BE DETAILED DURING THE
NORMAL PROJECTED ROTATION DATE WINDOW TO AN AVAILABLE BILLET WITHIN THE
SRB CONTRACTED NEC, CONSISTENT WITH SEA-SHORE FLOW REQUIREMENTS.
LATERAL CONVERSIONS MUST FOLLOW REF B, PARA 12.D.  LATERAL CONVERSION
REQUESTS WILL NOT BE PROCESSED MORE THAN NINE MONTHS BEFORE THE EAOS.
CONVERSIONS TO A RATE WITH A LOWER AWARD LEVEL WILL NOT BE APPROVED.
PERSONNEL IN A "CLOSED-LOOP" NEC CAN REENLIST BY THE NEC ONLY.
8.  PERFORM-TO-SERVE (PTS) REQUIREMENTS.  AN SRB REQUEST FOR A SAILOR
WHO REQUIRES PTS APPROVAL MUST BE SUBMITTED AFTER THE SAILOR HAS BEEN
OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED OF PTS APPROVAL.
9.  REENLISTMENT PROCEDURES.  SAILORS MAY REQUEST TO REENLIST EARLY FOR
SRB SO LONG AS THEIR EAOS IS WITHIN THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR AND IS NOT
LATER THAN 90 DAYS FROM THE REQUESTED DATE OF REENLISTMENT.  SEE PARA 6
OF THIS NAVADMIN; REF B, PARA 12.A; AND REF C, PARA 4 FOR EXCEPTIONS TO
THIS POLICY.  OTHER POLICIES AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES IN REFS A
AND B AND THE DEFENSE JOINT MILITARY PAY SYSTEM (DJMS) PROCEDURES
TRAINING GUIDE REMAIN IN EFFECT.
10.  OBLIGATED SERVICE TO TRAIN (OTT) AND THEN REENLIST.  SEE REF B,
PARA 12.E. FOR OTT GUIDANCE.  REQUESTS ARE TO BE SUBMITTED TO
PERS-811 VIA NAVPERS 1306/7, ENLISTED PERSONNEL ACTION REQUEST.
A COPY OF THE AUTHORIZATION MESSAGE SHOULD BE RETAINED BY THE SAILOR
UNTIL THE SRB REENLISTMENT ON GRADUATION DAY FROM THE COURSE OF
INSTRUCTION.  USE CODE 1CC (1RC FOR FTS) FOR OTT SRB REQUESTS IN OPINS.
11.  COMMAND RESPONSIBILITIES AND PROCEDURES.
    A.  COMMANDS MUST SUBMIT SRB REQUESTS VIA OPINS 35-120 DAYS IN
ADVANCE OF THE SAILOR'S EAOS OR REENLISTMENT DATE TO ENSURE THE
APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL MESSAGE WILL REACH THE SAILOR'S COMMAND AND THE
DEFENSE FINANCE AND ACCOUNTING SERVICE (DFAS) BEFORE THE REENLISTMENT
DATE.  TIMELINESS IS CRITICAL BECAUSE THE  APPROVED PRECERT NOTIFIES
THE DJMS OF THE SAILOR'S INTENT TO REENLIST, PREVENTS INTERRUPTION OF
PAY, AND ENSURES THE INITIAL SRB PAYMENT POSTS TO THE SAILOR'S ACCOUNT.
ANY CHANGES TO THE APPROVAL MAY CAUSE ERRORS AND SLOW PAYMENTS.  AS A
RESULT, CHANGES SHOULD BE PREVENTED.  REQUESTS SUBMITTED LESS THAN 35
DAYS PRIOR TO THE REENLISTMENT DATE WITHOUT SUBSTANTIAL JUSTIFICATION
WILL BE REJECTED.  SAILORS MUST HAVE APPROVED PRECERTS BEFORE
REENLISTING.  THE SERVICING PERSONNEL OFFICE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
VERIFYING THE REENLISTMENT, POSTING THE CONTRACT, RELEASING THE FIRST
PAYMENT, AND VERIFYING THE MASTER MILITARY PAY ACCOUNT.
    B.  COMMANDS INITIATING SRB PRECERT REQUESTS MUST ENSURE ALL OF THE
DATA INCLUDED IN THE PRECERT REQUEST IS CORRECT AND THE SAILOR IS
ELIGIBLE TO REENLIST FOR THE REQUESTED SRB.  THE SRB REQUEST SHALL NOT
BE ENTERED INTO OPINS UNTIL THE COMMANDING OFFICER HAS APPROVED THE
REENLISTMENT REQUEST.
    C.  SAILORS WITH APPROVED PRECERTS WHO DO NOT REENLIST ON THE DATE
OR FOR THE TERM SPECIFIED IN THE PRECERT MESSAGE MUST HAVE THEIR
COMMAND CONTACT PERS-811D TO INITIATE A REENLISTMENT CANCELLATION TO
AVOID PLACING SAILORS IN AN OVERPAID STATUS.
12.  INOPERATIVE EXTENSIONS POLICY.  IN KEEPING WITH DOD POLICY,
PERSONNEL WHO ACCEPTED AN ENLISTMENT BONUS FOR EXTENDED ENLISTMENT
(EBEE), AS REFLECTED ON THEIR NAVCRUIT 1133/52, WILL NO LONGER BE
AUTHORIZED TO USE THIS INOPERATIVE EXTENSION TIME IN THE SRB
CALCULATION.  SAILORS WHO HAVE INOPERATIVE EXTENSION TIME THROUGH A 5YO
OR 6YO PROGRAM, OR AS AUTHORIZED IN NAVADMIN 007/09, MAY CONTINUE TO
HAVE A MAXIMUM OF 24 MONTHS OF INOPERATIVE EXTENSION TIME NOT COUNT
AGAINST THE CALCULATION OF SRB PROVIDED THE REENLISTMENT RESULTS IN A
NEW EAOS THAT IS AT LEAST 24 MONTHS DAY-FOR-DAY PAST THE CURRENT
EXTENDED EAOS.
THIS CALCULATION IS PERFORMED AUTOMATICALLY BY PERS-811.  LOCAL
COMMANDS ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO CANCEL EXTENSIONS FOR THE PURPOSE OF
IMMEDIATE SRB REENLISTMENTS.  COMMANDS MUST VERIFY AND ANNOTATE ON THE
PRECERT REQUEST WHETHER ANY INOPERATIVE EXTENSION TIME NOTED IS PART OF
AN EBEE CONTRACT.
13.  PRECERT REQUIREMENTS.  THE FOLLOWING ARE REQUIRED WHEN SUBMITTING
PRECERT REQUESTS:
    A.  TO VALIDATE AN INOPERATIVE EXTENSION OF ENLISTMENT AND EXPEDITE
PROCESSING OF AN SRB REQUEST, INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING IN THE REMARKS
PARAGRAPH OF THE REQUEST:  TERM, NARRATIVE REASON, AUTHORITY, AND
EXECUTION DATE OF ALL INOPERATIVE EXTENSIONS.
FAILURE TO VERIFY EXTENSIONS WILL CAUSE PROCESSING DELAYS AND MAY
RESULT IN REJECTION OF THE REQUEST OR AN APPROVAL AT A LOWER AMOUNT.
    B.  SAILORS MUST OBTAIN AN APPROVAL FOR EXTENSION FROM PERS
811 IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE THE POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF SRB ELIGIBILITY.
14.  LITTORAL COMBAT SHIP (LCS) GUIDANCE.  SAILORS ASSIGNED TO LCS
PLATFORMS OR WITH ORDERS TO AN LCS PLATFORM WHO POSSESS AN NEC
SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED FOR LCS ASSIGNMENT (I.E., HYBRID
SAILORS) ARE AUTHORIZED TO REENLIST FOR THE MORE LUCRATIVE SRB-
ELIGIBLE NEC, REGARDLESS OF ASSIGNED RATING.
15.  TO ENSURE THAT ALL REQUIREMENTS AND TIMELINES ARE MET, VISIT THE
FOLLOWING SRB PAGE OF THE NPC
WEBSITE: WWW.NPC.NAVY.MIL/CAREERINFO/PAYANDBENEFITS/N130/N130D
16.  POINT OF CONTACT FOR A SAILOR WHO HAS REENLISTED AND HAS NOT
RECEIVED THEIR SRB PAYMENT, OR HAS QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE TAXATION OF
THEIR SRB AND ANNUAL INSTALLMENTS, IS THE SAILOR'S SERVICING PAY OFFICE
OR PSD.  SRB TAX INFO IS ALSO DISCUSSED IN DODFMR VOL 7A, CH 44, TABLE
44-1, RULE 7.  THE POINT OF CONTACT FOR A SAILOR WITH QUESTIONS
REGARDING THE SRB PROGRAM OR ANY INFORMATION ON THEIR BUPERS-ON-LINE
ACCOUNT IS THEIR COMMAND CAREER COUNSELOR (CCC).  FOR TECHNICAL
QUESTIONS OR CLARIFICATIONS, CCCS, NOT THE INDIVIDUAL SAILORS, ARE
ENCOURAGED TO CONTACT PERS-811D AT (901) 874-2526/DSN 882, FAX (901)
874-2623/DSN 882 OR E-MAIL EMCM(SS) IRISH AT
DOUGLAS.B.IRISH(AT)NAVY.MIL OR MR. FRANK PALOMO AT
FRANCISCO.PALOMO(AT)NAVY.MIL.
17.  WE WILL CONTINUE TO ASSESS RETENTION BEHAVIOR AND ADJUST SRB AWARD
LEVELS ACCORDINGLY.

]]> As expected, the Navy Selective Re-enlistment Bonus program (SRB) seems to be making a comeback for 2010. NAVADMIN 250/09 states without surprise, “Contingent upon receipt of congressional defense appropriations for FY10 or enactment of a  continuing resolution authority, levels listed in para 4 below are effective as of 01 October 2009 and pre-certification requests will be accepted 35-120 days prior to the desired reenlistment date.” Congress needs to ensure they get the 2010 Defense Budget in front of the President for signature prior to the beginning of FY-2010. So far the defense budget has hit only a few snags but should be ready in plenty of time making a continuing resolution unnecessary (my fingers are crossed :) ).

NAVADMIN 250/09 has been superseded by NAVADMIN 028/10 as of 22 Jan 2010.

RMKS/1.  THIS NAVADMIN ANNOUNCES THE FY10 SELECTIVE REENLISTMENT BONUS
(SRB) AWARD LEVELS FOR ACTIVE COMPONENT AND RESERVE COMPONENT FULL TIME
SUPPORT (FTS) AND SUPERSEDES REF A.  CONTINGENT UPON RECEIPT OF
CONGRESSIONAL DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS FOR FY10 OR ENACTMENT OF A
CONTINUING RESOLUTION AUTHORITY, LEVELS LISTED IN PARA 4 BELOW ARE
EFFECTIVE AS OF 01 OCTOBER 2009 AND PRECERTIFICATION REQUESTS WILL BE
ACCEPTED 35-120 DAYS PRIOR TO THE DESIRED REENLISTMENT DATE.  HOWEVER,
PERS-811 WILL NOT RELEASE SRB REENLISTMENT PRECERTIFICATION MESSAGES
UNTIL 01 OCTOBER 2009 OR WHEN FY10 FUNDING IS MADE AVAILABLE, WHICHEVER
IS LATER.

2.  THE SRB PROGRAM ENHANCES THE NAVY'S ABILITY TO SIZE, SHAPE AND
STABILIZE THE FORCE BY USING A MONETARY INCENTIVE TO ENCOURAGE SAILORS
WITH CRITICAL SKILLS AND VALUABLE EXPERIENCE TO STAY NAVY.  SRB IS A
MARKET-BASED INCENTIVE AND AWARD LEVELS ARE STRATEGICALLY ADJUSTED AS
RETENTION NEEDS DICTATE.  AS REENLISTMENT GOALS FOR PARTICULAR SKILLS
ARE ACHIEVED, SRB LEVELS WILL BE EVALUATED FOR REDUCTION OR REMOVAL.

3.  ALL SRB SKILLS FOR FY10 HAVE BEEN EVALUATED AND PLACED IN ONE OF
THREE TIERS.  VARYING AWARD LEVELS AND EARLY REENLISTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
HAVE BEEN PROVIDED FOR EACH TIER.  SAILORS SERVING IN TIER ONE SKILLS,
AS WELL AS THE EXCEPTIONS OUTLINED IN REF B, PARA 12.A AND REF C, PARA 4
ARE ELIGIBLE TO REENLIST EARLY ANY TIME WITHIN THE FISCAL YEAR OF THEIR EAOS.
NUCLEAR SAILORS MAY STILL CROSS FISCAL YEAR BOUNDARIES.  SAILORS SERVING IN
TIER TWO OR TIER THREE SKILLS WHO RECEIVED AN EARLY PROMOTE ON THEIR MOST
RECENT REGULAR PERIODIC EVALUATION REPORT MAY ALSO REENLIST ANY TIME
WITHIN THE FISCAL YEAR PRIOR TO THEIR EAOS (SEE PARA 6 FOR MORE DETAILS
AND GUIDELINES).  ALL OTHER SAILORS IN TIER TWO AND TIER THREE SKILLS MAY
REENLIST UP TO 90 DAYS IN ADVANCE OF THEIR EAOS AS DIRECTED IN REF C.
ALL SAILORS, REGARDLESS OF SKILL TIER MUST MEET ALL ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
UNDER PARA 9 AND MUST SUBMIT PRECERTIFICATION REQUESTS TO PERS-811 NO
LATER THAN 35-DAYS IN ADVANCE OF THE REQUESTED REENLISTMENT DATE.

5.  NOTES
(1) THE SRB FOR THIS RATING NEC IS TIED TO AN INCUMBENT BILLET OR TO
ORDERS NEGOTIATED FOR THE NEXT BILLET.  COMMANDS MUST VERIFY THE MEMBER
IS CURRENTLY IN, OR HAS ORDERS TO, A BILLET REQUIRING THIS NEC AND
ANNOTATE THIS VERIFICATION IN THE COMMENTS SECTION OF THE PRECERT
REQUEST, IF REENLISTMENT FOR AN SRB IS INTENDED TO FILL NAVY
REQUIREMENTS FOR SPECIFIC SKILL SETS TIED TO THESE BILLETS.
(2) AN SRB APPROVAL FOR ALL CRYPTOLOGIC TECHNICIANS AND INTELLIGENCE
SPECIALISTS WILL BE CONTINGENT UPON MEMBER HAVING A CURRENT SINGLE
SCOPE BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION (SSBI), AN ACTIVE SSBI OR RECENT
SUBMISSION OF AN SSBI PACKAGE.  COMMANDS MUST VERIFY THE MEMBER HAS A
CURRENT SSBI, ACTIVE SSBI, OR HAS SUBMITTED AN SSBI PACKAGE AND MAKE
NOTE OF THIS IN THE COMMENTS SECTION OF THE PRECERT REQUEST.
(3) REENLISTMENT COMPENSATION FOR ZONE C NUCLEAR TRAINED PERSONNEL
HOLDING A NUCLEAR SUPERVISOR NEC SHALL BE PROVIDED UNDER THE ENLISTED
SUPERVISOR RETENTION PAY PROGRAM (ESRP) PER NAVADMIN 159/06 OR CURRENT.
NECS 3359 AND 3389 ARE INACTIVE NECS.  MEMBERS HOLDING THESE NECS MAY
REENLIST AT THE AWARD LEVEL SPECIFIED FOR THE LAST ACTIVE NEC HELD.
(4) LETTERS APPEARING WITH AN NEC ARE FOR ADMINISTRATIVE USE ONLY.
(5) SUBSURFACE OR SURFACE DESIGNATION DOES NOT MEAN AN INDIVIDUAL MUST
BE SUBSURFACE OR ENLISTED SURFACE WARFARE SPECIALIST QUALIFIED, BUT
INDICATES THE COMPONENT OF THE RATING IN WHICH THEY CAN REASONABLY BE
EXPECTED TO SERVE.  TRAINING, QUALIFICATIONS, AND PREVIOUS OR PROJECTED
DUTY ASSIGNMENTS AT SEA WILL INDICATE THE APPROPRIATE RATING COMPONENT.
WHEN USING FORMAN/OPINS TO INPUT A SRB PRECERT REQUEST, USE THE RATING
(WITH APPROPRIATE SUFFIX DESIGNATION)/NEC AS SPECIFIED IN THIS NAVADMIN.
FOR EXAMPLE, SURFACE ELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN WITH NO NEC WOULD SUBMIT
"ETSW" ON PRECERT FOR RATING.
(6) SUBSURFACE NECS.  SUBSURFACE ELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN 14XXA
IDENTIFIES ALL SUBSURFACE ELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN COMMUNICATIONS SAILORS
WHO HOLD NECS BEGINNING WITH 14.  SUBSURFACE ELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN NAV
14XXB IDENTIFIES SUBSURFACE ELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN NAVIGATION SAILORS
AND INCLUDES ALL SUBSURFACE ELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN NAV NECS BEGINNING
WITH 14.
(7) SUBSURFACE ELECTRONICS TECHNICIANS, FIRE CONTROL TECHNICIANS,
MISSILE TECHNICIANS AND SUBSURFACE SONAR TECHNICIANS THAT POSSESS AN IT
NEC ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE AWARD LEVELS CORRESPONDING TO THE RESPECTIVE
INFORMATION SYSTEMS TECHNICIAN (IT) NEC AWARD LEVEL.
(8) MEMBERS HOLDING NEC 3913 MAY REENLIST AT THE AWARD LEVEL SPECIFIED
FOR NEC 3912.
(9) DUE TO SIGNIFICANT NAVY ALIGNMENT AND CHANGES ASSOCIATED WITH
ACTIVE RESERVE INTEGRATION, FTS SRB REENLISTMENTS ARE LIMITED TO A
FOUR-YEAR TERM, PROVIDED A MEMBER REENLISTS INTO THE NEXT ZONE AS
REQUIRED BY OPNAVINST 1160.8A AND DODI 1304.29.  ADDITIONALLY, AN FTS
SAILOR MAY REENLIST AND RECEIVE ONLY ONE SRB PER ZONE (ZONE A, ZONE B,
AND ZONE C) DURING A CAREER.  THIS FTS SRB AWARD PLAN APPLIES TO THE
ACTIVE GUARD AND RESERVE MEMBERS OF THE FTS PROGRAM, IT DOES NOT APPLY
TO FTS CANVASSER RECRUITERS.
(10) ONE OF THE BELOW LISTED TYPE CODES SHALL BE USED WHEN SUBMITTING
THE SRB PRECEPT:  CODE 1RR, IMMEDIATE REENLISTMENT FOR FULL TIME
SUPPORT SRB.  CODE 1RB, BROKEN SERVICE REENLISTMENT FOR FULL TIME
SUPPORT SRB.  CODE 1RC, OBLISERV TO TRAIN AND REENLIST FOR FULL TIME
SUPPORT.
(11) NEC 8201, 8278, 8289 ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THIS FTS SRB.

6. EARLY REENLISTMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR "EARLY PROMOTE" SAILORS SERVING
IN TIER TWO OR TIER THREE SRB SKILLS.  SAILORS SERVING IN TIER TWO OR
TIER THREE SRB SKILLS WHO RECEIVED AN "EP" IN BLOCK 45 OF THEIR MOST
RECENT REGULAR PERIODIC EVALUATION OR FITNESS REPORT WILL BE ALLOWED TO
REENLIST EARLY ANY TIME WITHIN THE FISCAL YEAR OF THEIR EAOS.  NO
TRANSFER, CONCURRENT, OR SPECIAL EVALUATIONS WILL APPLY.  SAILORS
ADVANCED WITHIN THE 12-MONTHS PRIOR TO THEIR EAOS, WILL BE ALLOWED TO
SUBSTITUTE THE LAST REGULAR PERIODIC EVALUATION OR FITNESS REPORT IN
THEIR PREVIOUS PAY GRADE.  PERSONNEL MUST FAX OR EMAIL A SIGNED COPY OF
THE EVALUATION TO PERS-811 ONCE THEIR PRECERT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED.
THIS REQUIREMENT IS ONLY FOR THOSE THAT FALL UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF
THIS PARAGRAPH.

7.  THE FOLLOWING GUIDANCE IS PROVIDED ON NAVY ENLISTED CLASSIFICATION
(NEC) SPECIFIC SRB AND LATERAL CONVERSIONS.  ACCEPTANCE OF AN NEC-
SPECIFIC SRB CONTRACT INDICATES AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE SAILOR AND THE
NAVY TO UTILIZE SKILLS ATTRIBUTED TO THE NEC DURING THE SAILOR'S
ENLISTMENT TO MEET FLEET READINESS REQUIREMENTS.  IN SUBSEQUENT TOURS,
A SAILOR MUST BE WILLING TO BE DETAILED DURING THE NORMAL PROJECTED
ROTATION DATE WINDOW TO AN AVAILABLE BILLET WITHIN THE SRB CONTRACTED
NEC, CONSISTENT WITH SEA-SHORE FLOW REQUIREMENTS.
LATERAL CONVERSIONS MUST FOLLOW REF B, PARA 12.D.  LATERAL CONVERSION
REQUESTS WILL NOT BE PROCESSED MORE THAN NINE MONTHS BEFORE THE EAOS.
CONVERSIONS TO A RATE WITH A LOWER AWARD LEVEL WILL NOT BE APPROVED.
PERSONNEL IN A "CLOSED-LOOP" NEC CAN REENLIST BY THE NEC ONLY.

8.  PERFORM-TO-SERVE (PTS) REQUIREMENTS.  AN SRB REQUEST FOR A SAILOR
WHO REQUIRES PTS APPROVAL MUST BE SUBMITTED AFTER THE SAILOR HAS BEEN
OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED OF PTS APPROVAL.  THE STATUS OF PTS APPROVAL MAY BE
VIEWED THROUGH THE OFFICER PERSONNEL INFORMATION SYSTEM (OPINS) IN THE
ESTIMATED DATE OF LOSS TO NAVY (EDLN) FIELD OF THE I31 SCREEN.

9.  REENLISTMENT PROCEDURES.  SAILORS MAY REQUEST TO REENLIST EARLY FOR
SRB SO LONG AS THEIR EAOS IS WITHIN THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR AND IS NOT
LATER THAN 90 DAYS FROM THE REQUESTED DATE OF REENLISTMENT.
SEE PARA 6 OF THIS NAVADMIN REF B, PARA 12. A, AND REF C PARA 4 FOR
EXCEPTIONS TO THIS POLICY.  OTHER POLICIES AND ADMINISTRATIVE
PROCEDURES IN REFS A AND B AND THE DEFENSE JOINT MILITARY PAY SYSTEM
(DJMS) PROCEDURES TRAINING GUIDE REMAIN IN EFFECT.

10.  OBLIGATED SERVICE TO TRAIN (OTT) AND THEN REENLIST.  SEE REF B,
PARA 12.E. FOR OTT GUIDANCE.  REQUESTS ARE TO BE SUBMITTED TO PERS-811
VIA NAVPERS 1306/7, ENLISTED PERSONNEL ACTION REQUEST.  A COPY OF THE
AUTHORIZATION MESSAGE SHOULD BE RETAINED BY THE SAILOR UNTIL THE SRB
REENLISTMENT ON GRADUATION DAY FROM THE COURSE OF INSTRUCTION.  USE
CODE 1CC (1RC FOR FTS) FOR OTT SRB REQUESTS IN OPINS.

11.  COMMAND RESPONSIBILITIES AND PROCEDURES.
    A.  COMMANDS MUST SUBMIT SRB REQUESTS VIA OPINS 35-120 DAYS IN
ADVANCE OF THE SAILOR'S EAOS OR REENLISTMENT DATE TO ENSURE THE
APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL MESSAGE WILL REACH THE SAILOR'S COMMAND AND THE
DEFENSE FINANCE AND ACCOUNTING SERVICE (DFAS) BEFORE THE REENLISTMENT
DATE.  TIMELINESS IS CRITICAL BECAUSE THE APPROVED PRECERT NOTIFIES THE
DJMS OF THE SAILOR'S INTENT TO REENLIST, PREVENTS INTERRUPTION OF PAY,
AND ENSURES THE INITIAL SRB PAYMENT POSTS TO THE SAILOR'S ACCOUNT.  ANY
CHANGES TO THE APPROVAL MAY CAUSE ERRORS AND SLOW PAYMENTS.  AS A
RESULT, CHANGES SHOULD BE PREVENTED.  REQUESTS SUBMITTED LESS THAN 35
DAYS PRIOR TO THE REENLISTMENT DATE WITHOUT SUBSTANTIAL JUSTIFICATION
WILL BE REJECTED.  SAILORS MUST HAVE APPROVED PRECERTS BEFORE
REENLISTING.  THE SERVICING PERSONNEL OFFICE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
VERIFYING THE REENLISTMENT, POSTING THE CONTRACT, RELEASING THE FIRST
PAYMENT, AND VERIFYING THE MASTER MILITARY PAY ACCOUNT.
    B.  COMMANDS INITIATING SRB PRECERT REQUESTS MUST ENSURE ALL OF THE
DATA INCLUDED IN THE PRECERT REQUEST IS CORRECT AND THE SAILOR IS
ELIGIBLE TO REENLIST FOR THE REQUESTED SRB.  THE SRB REQUEST SHALL NOT
BE ENTERED INTO OPINS UNTIL THE COMMANDING OFFICER HAS APPROVED THE
REENLISTMENT REQUEST.
    C.  SAILORS WITH APPROVED PRECERTS WHO DO NOT REENLIST ON THE DATE
OR FOR THE TERM SPECIFIED IN THE PRECERT MESSAGE MUST HAVE THEIR
COMMAND CONTACT PERS-811D TO INITIATE A REENLISTMENT CANCELLATION TO
AVOID PLACING SAILORS IN AN OVERPAID STATUS.

12.  INOPERATIVE EXTENSIONS POLICY CHANGE.  IN KEEPING WITH DOD POLICY,
PERSONNEL WHO ACCEPTED AN ENLISTMENT BONUS FOR EXTENDED ENLISTMENT
(EBEE), AS REFLECTED ON THEIR NAVCRUIT 1133/52, WILL NO LONGER BE
AUTHORIZED TO USE THIS INOPERATIVE EXTENSION TIME IN THE SRB
CALCULATION.  SAILORS WHO HAVE INOPERATIVE EXTENSION TIME THROUGH A 5YO
OR 6YO PROGRAM, OR AS AUTHORIZED IN NAVADMIN 007/09, MAY CONTINUE TO
HAVE A MAXIMUM OF 24 MONTHS OF INOPERATIVE EXTENSION TIME NOT COUNT
AGAINST THE CALCULATION OF SRB PROVIDED THE REENLISTMENT RESULTS IN A
NEW EAOS THAT IS AT LEAST 24 MONTHS DAY-FOR-DAY PAST THE CURRENT
EXTENDED EAOS.  THIS CALCULATION IS PERFORMED AUTOMATICALLY BY PERS-811.
LOCAL COMMANDS ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO CANCEL EXTENSIONS FOR THE PURPOSE
OF IMMEDIATE SRB REENLISTMENTS.  COMMANDS MUST VERIFY AND ANNOTATE ON
THE PRECERT REQUEST WHETHER ANY INOPERATIVE EXTENSION TIME NOTED IS
PART OF AN EBEE CONTRACT.

13.  PRECERT REQUIREMENTS.  THE FOLLOWING ARE REQUIRED WHEN SUBMITTING
PRECERT REQUESTS:
    A.  TO VALIDATE AN INOPERATIVE EXTENSION OF ENLISTMENT AND EXPEDITE
PROCESSING OF AN SRB REQUEST, INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING IN THE REMARKS
PARAGRAPH OF THE REQUEST:  TERM, NARRATIVE REASON, AUTHORITY, AND
EXECUTION DATE OF ALL INOPERATIVE EXTENSIONS.  FAILURE TO VERIFY
EXTENSIONS WILL CAUSE PROCESSING DELAYS AND MAY RESULT IN REJECTION OF
THE REQUEST OR AN APPROVAL AT A LOWER AMOUNT.
    B.  SAILORS MUST OBTAIN AN APPROVAL FOR EXTENSION FROM PERS 811 IN
ORDER TO MINIMIZE THE POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF SRB ELIGIBILITY.

14.  LITTORAL COMBAT SHIP (LCS) GUIDANCE.  SAILORS ASSIGNED TO LCS
PLATFORMS OR WITH ORDERS TO AN LCS PLATFORM WHO POSSESS AN NEC
SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED FOR LCS ASSIGNMENT (I.E., HYBRID SAILORS) ARE
AUTHORIZED TO REENLIST FOR THE MORE LUCRATIVE SRB-ELIGIBLE NEC,
REGARDLESS OF ASSIGNED RATING.

15.  TO ENSURE THAT ALL REQUIREMENTS AND TIMELINES ARE MET, VISIT THE
FOLLOWING SRB PAGE OF THE NPC WEBSITE:
WWW.NPC.NAVY.MIL/CAREERINFO/PAYANDBENEFITS/N130/N130D

16.  POINT OF CONTACT FOR A SAILOR WHO HAS REENLISTED AND HAS NOT
RECEIVED THEIR SRB PAYMENT, OR HAS QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE TAXATION OF
THEIR SRB AND ANNUAL INSTALLMENTS, IS THE SAILOR'S SERVICING PAY OFFICE
OR PSD.  SRB TAX INFO IS ALSO DISCUSSED IN DODFMR VOL 7A, CH 44, TABLE
44-1, RULE 7.  THE POINT OF CONTACT FOR A SAILOR WITH QUESTIONS
REGARDING THE SRB PROGRAM OR ANY INFORMATION ON THEIR BUPERS-ON-LINE
ACCOUNT IS THEIR COMMAND CAREER COUNSELOR (CCC).  FOR TECHNICAL
QUESTIONS OR CLARIFICATIONS, CCCS, NOT THE INDIVIDUAL SAILORS, ARE
ENCOURAGED TO CONTACT PERS-811D AT (901) 874-2526/DSN 882, FAX (901)

RMKS/1. THIS NAVADMIN PROVIDES A STATUS UPDATE OF THE FY-10 SELECTIVE
REENLISTMENT BONUS (SRB) PROGRAM AND A REMINDER FOR COMMANDS TO
ACTIVELY ENGAGE THEIR SAILORS ON THE INCENTIVES PRESENTED THROUGH THE
SRB PROGRAM. SRB OPPORTUNITIES AND REQUIREMENTS HAVE CHANGED. COMMAND
LEADERS SHOULD REFAMILIARIZE THEMSELVES WITH REFS A THROUGH C IN ORDER
TO PROPERLY ADVISE ELIGIBLE PERSONNEL.

2. OVER 1,300 SAILORS HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF SRB THIS FISCAL YEAR.
WHILE THE SRB PROGRAM CONTINUES TO BE THE NAVY’S PRIMARY MONETARY
INCENTIVE TO ENCOURAGE SAILORS WITH CRITICAL SKILLS AND VALUABLE
EXPERIENCE TO STAY NAVY, WE MUST ALSO REMAIN WITHIN CONGRESSIONALLY
AUTHORIZED FUNDING LIMITS. ADDITIONALLY, SRB IS USED AS A FORCE
STABLIZATION TOOL TO HELP MINIMIZE OVER-EXECUTION OR UNDER-EXECUTION OF
CRITICAL SKILL RETENTION GOALS. THEREFORE, AS REENLISTMENT GOALS FOR
PARTICULAR SKILLS ARE ACHIEVED, SRB AWARD LEVELS FOR THOSE SKILLS WILL
BE REMOVED FROM THE PLAN, BUT NO EARLIER THAN 30 DAYS FOLLOWING THE
RELEASE OF A NAVADMIN ANNOUNCING THE AWARD LEVELS. SAILORS ARE
ENCOURAGED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SRB AS SOON AS ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
HAVE BEEN MET IAW REFS A THROUGH C.

3. COMMANDS MUST SUBMIT SRB REQUESTS VIA OPINS 35-120 DAYS IN ADVANCE
OF THE SAILOR’S REQUESTED REENLISTMENT DATE. REQUESTS SUBMITTED LESS
THAN 35 DAYS PRIOR TO THE REENLISTMENT DATE WITHOUT SUBSTANTIAL
JUSTIFICATION WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

4. SAILORS ARE ENCOURAGED TO WORK WITH THEIR COMMAND CAREER COUNSELORS,
COMMAND MASTER CHIEFS, AND CHAIN OF COMMAND TO INITIATE THE
REENLISTMENT PROCEDURES WELL IN ADVANCE OF THEIR EAOS.

]]> The good news is the Navy is retaining a very high quality workforce, the bad news is bonuses for reenlisting in FY-2009 have been suspended.

From the NAVADMIN, “Temporarily suspending the SRB program and the acceptance of any new requests for the remainder of this fiscal year. These changes are effective immediately. Those requests which have been received by pers-811 through OPINS prior to 1600 central daylight time, 10 June 2009, will still be processed IAW refs a, b and c.”

RMKS/1. THE NAVY HAS HAD A SUPERB YEAR WITH RESPECT TO INCREASED RETENTION AND REDUCED ATTRITION. ACROSS THE BOARD, LEADERSHIP AT ALL LEVELS IN THE CHAIN OF COMMAND AND OUR PERSONNEL INITIATIVES HAVE PAID DIVIDENDS. AS EXAMPLES, WE HAVE ACHIEVED OUR FISCAL YEAR RETENTION GOALS IN ZONE A NUCLEAR RATINGS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 38 YEARS, AND OUR
MORE STRESSED EXPEDITIONARY RATINGS AS A WHOLE ARE TRACKING ABOVE THEIR PREDICTED PHASING GOALS.
2. ONE OF THE PERSONNEL TOOLS WE HAVE IS THE SELECTIVE REENLISTMENT BONUS (SRB); A MARKET-BASED INCENTIVE PROGRAM DESIGNED TO HELP RETAIN THOSE SAILORS WHO SERVE IN OUR MOST CRITICAL RATINGS AND NECS. THIS YEAR, THE SRB PROGRAM IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR OTHER INITIATIVES, HAVE PERFORMED AS DESIGNED AND WE ARE ON TRACK TO MEET OR EXCEED MANY OF OUR
FY-09 RETENTION GOALS, INCLUDING OUR MOST HISTORICALLY HARD TO FILL AREAS.
3. BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD SUCH GREAT SUCCESS THIS FISCAL YEAR, WE ARE NOW AT THE FUNDING LIMITS OF OUR CONGRESSIONAL AUTHORITY FOR SRB. MATCHING SRB’S INTENT AS A FORCE SHAPING TOOL, AND IN LIGHT OF OUR EXCELLENT PROGRESS THIS YEAR, WE CONSEQUENTLY ARE TEMPORARILY SUSPENDING THE SRB PROGRAM AND THE ACCEPTANCE OF ANY NEW REQUESTS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS FISCAL YEAR. THESE CHANGES ARE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. THOSE REQUESTS WHICH HAVE BEEN RECEIVED BY PERS-811 THROUGH OPINS PRIOR TO 1600 CENTRAL DAYLIGHT TIME, 10 JUNE 2009, WILL STILL BE PROCESSED IAW REFS A, B AND C.
4. WE WILL BEGIN TO ACCEPT NEW SRB REQUESTS IN EARLY FY-10. A SUBSEQUENT NAVADMIN WILL PROVIDE SRB WINDOWS OF OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE SAILORS WHO QUALIFY, AND WILL ADJUST SPECIFIC RATING AND NEC AWARD LEVELS TO MEET THE CRITICAL NEEDS OF OUR FORCE.
5. AS WE TRANSITION OUR RETENTION FOCUS TOWARDS FY-10, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE SRB PROGRAM REMAINS FLEXIBLE AND AGILE IN ORDER TO RAPIDLY RESPOND TO CHANGING CONDITIONS THAT CHALLENGE OUR ABILITY TO MAINTAIN THE HEALTH OF OUR FORCE. THEREFORE, YOU CAN EXPECT THE PROGRAM WILL CONTINUE TO BE APPLIED IN A DYNAMIC MANNER THROUGHOUT FY-10, AS IT WAS
EXECUTED THIS YEAR.
6. THE SRB PROGRAM IS ONE PIECE OF OUR WORLD-CLASS PAY AND COMPENSATION PACKAGE. WHILE NOT EVERY SAILOR WILL QUALIFY FOR AN SRB, ALL OUR SAILORS ARE VITAL TO THE SUCCESSFUL EXECUTION OF NAVY MISSIONS. WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK TO MAINTAIN AND IMPROVE THIS OUTSTANDING PAY AND COMPENSATION PACKAGE THAT SUSTAINS OUR NAVY. EACH OF YOU SHOULD BE
PROUD OF THE TREMENDOUS JOB YOU DO EVERY DAY FOR OUR GREAT NATION.
7. FINALLY, I OFFER MY PERSONAL APPRECIATION TO THOSE WHO PROVIDED THE OUTSTANDING MENTORING AND GUIDANCE IN LEADING OUR SAILORS IN CHALLENGING TIMES. YOUR COVENANT LEADERSHIP HAS DIRECTLY CONTRIBUTED ACHIEVING OUR PERSONNEL GOALS, IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF OUR FORCE, AND ENSURING THE NAVY’S ABILITY TO ACCOMPLISH ITS GLOBAL MISSIONS.

]]> First comment is, Add the American Forces Press Service with the Navy Times that should capitalize Sailor!

Prologue: When retention and recruiting do well it has been the manpower gurus natural response to pull billets from recruiting duty, reducing the workforce by as much as 25% or more. Then when times get tough the knee jerks the other way and those same manpower gurus pump the force, seemingly over night, back to the numbers we see today. Often times the increase in the size of the force is too late. One example is 1997 and there are many others.

Hopefully we have learned our lessons of the past.

Onward.

At the end of the current Navy force reduction, manning of ratings should start to level off. I would expect recruiting accession mission to increase slightly over the next couple of years, depending of course that retention numbers keep around where they are now but I don’t think that will be the case.

I believe we will overshoot our projected losses, especially nukes.

Navy Stabilizes Force as it Nears End-strength Goal, Admiral Says
By Gerry J. Gilmore
American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, March 19, 2009 – After years of downsizing, the U.S. Navy has nearly achieved its end-strength goal of 329,000 sailors, a senior naval officer said here today.
“For the Navy, force stabilization marks a transitional period, where we are now finished downsizing,” Rear Adm. Daniel P. Holloway, director of the Navy’s military personnel, plans and policy division, told Pentagon Channel and American Forces Press Service reporters.

The Navy has been reducing its ranks by 8,000 to 10,000 servicemembers a year for the past six to seven years, Holloway said, noting his service now is close to reaching its designed end-strength goal of about 329,000 sailors.

“We’re currently halfway through the fiscal year within 1 percent of that goal in stabilizing the force,” the two-star admiral said.

And, as the Navy stabilizes its force, Holloway said, it wants to recruit and retain only the best and brightest sailors to support the nation’s maritime strategy and the joint warfighter.

Holloway said he hears positive feedback about today’s “excellent” sailors. The Navy’s Perform-to-Serve program that’s been in place for years, he said, evaluates sailors’ duty performance to ascertain their capability for continued service.

Qualified sailors also may have the opportunity to switch to high-demand jobs at re-enlistment time, Holloway said. Today’s sailors are serving in Afghanistan and Iraq, he said, as members of provincial reconstruction teams and improvised explosive device suppression crews, with civil affairs groups, and in security and detention operations.

“We’re getting a record number of volunteers now” to fill such billets, Holloway said, adding that he’s hearing “that the Army and Marine Corps” appreciate the sailors’ contributions.

The Navy employs two types of assignment categories while providing sailors to serve in overseas slots, Holloway said. The individual augmentee process, he said, is used to fill positions on a very short notice.

Global war on terrorism support assignments are known by the acronym GSA, Holloway said. They involve “predictable” overseas assignments of a year’s duration, he said, that would be repetitively filled.

“We can, in advance, look at that requirement,” Holloway said of GSA-system sourced assignments, while in the meantime, assignment managers scan the force to see who’d be ready to deploy after completion of their present assignment.

Career managers don’t pull sailors out of their present duty assignments when filling GSA billets, he noted, which results in less disruption to sailors’ lives.

Meanwhile, Holloway said, the Navy continues to attract high-quality recruits.

“We are a world-class outfit and we do require world-class performance,” Holloway said. “So, the standards are high.”

With the recent SRB reductions it stands that retention numbers over the near term will start to fall as part of this planned reduction. Couple that with a need for high tech, Navy trained nukes and others to enter the civilian workforce due to the increase in construction of nuclear power plants and other projects requiring the talent of today’s Sailor. A handful of permits have already been issued – there is a shortage of qualified/experienced personnel and companies are willing to pay more than the military can pay.

I know N1 has to have this down to a science by now and I am sure they are scouting the civilian employment potential of our Sailors – I just hope N1 isn’t producing forecasts based strictly on 5 year old data.
Don’t let the nations employment figures throw you into a false sense of security – today’s Sailor will continue to be desired and sought after!

]]> The $90,000 cap for Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) and new lower multiples will become effective 1 May 2009. All SRB award levels NOT listed below are reduced or remain at zero.

The drop in levels, I would think, are not budget related as much as manning levels in the rates that experienced a drop. The SRB has always been a retention tool, retention good in a rating – little to no bonus. Retention and recruiting are at levels we have not seen in years.

Rmks/1. This NAVADMIN announces revised Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) award levels for the active component and supersedes Ref A. Reserve component Full Time Support (FTS) will continue to follow award levels prescribed in REF A.

2. Due to retention in the force at levels higher than seen over the past ten years, we are projected to meet our required numbers of personnel with critical skills this fiscal year. Therefore, we are reducing SRB levels. Revised award levels for those NEC’s still to receive SRB are listed below. The reductions to multiples and ceilings applied to non-nuclear ratings/NEC’s are effective as of 01 May 2009. This date was chosen to allow Sailors an opportunity to request a reservation before the lower limit takes effect. Nuclear rating/NEC award levels will be effective as of 11 May 2009. All selective reenlistment award levels not listed are reduced to or remain at zero.

3. Information on decreased award levels. Sailors in non-nuclear skills in which the SRB award level is being reduced or terminated, and who have a Navy Personnel Command (NPC) approval message, or a pending precert with PERS 811 for a reenlistment date after 30 April 2009, must resubmit the request for a new reenlistment date of 30 April 2009 or earlier to be eligible for the higher award level, provided their EAOS is not later than 8 June 2009 (90 days following the effective date of this message as described in ref c). This EAOS restriction, i.e., EAOS must be on or before 8 June 2009, also applies in the case of a Sailor whose SRB award level has decreased (or been terminated) but who did not already possess an approval message or precert from PERS 811. A Sailor must meet all eligibility criteria under para 10 for the new, or requested, date of reenlistment. The only exceptions to this are outlined in ref b, Para 12.a and REF C, para 4.

4. The following non-nuclear selective reenlistment bonus award level reductions are effective 1 May 2009. All ceilings have been reduced. A “-” symbol preceding an award level indicates a decrease to that award level for that specific zone. All selective reenlistment award levels not listed below are reduced to or remain at zero effective 1 May 2009:

6. Notes
(1) The SRB for this rating NEC is tied to an incumbent billet or to orders negotiated for the next billet. Commands must verify the member is currently in, or has orders to, a billet requiring this NEC and annotate this verification in the comments section of the precert request, if reenlistment for an SRB is intended to fill Navy requirements for specific skill sets tied to these billets.
(2) An SRB approval for all Cryptologic Technicians will be contingent upon member having a current single scope background investigation (SSBI), an active SSBI or recent submission of an SSBI package. Commands must verify the member has a current SSBI active SSBI, or has submitted an SSBI package and make note of this in the comments section of the precert request.
(3) Reenlistment compensation for zone c nuclear trained personnel holding a nuclear supervisor NEC shall be provided under the enlisted supervisor retention pay program (ESRP) per NAVADMIN 159/06 or current. NECs 3359 and 3389 are inactive NECs. Members holding these NECs may reenlist at the award level specified for the last active NEC held.
7. REF C announced new SRB policies on the early reenlistment window. REF D announced changes in policies on short term extensions. There have been several policy changes over the past few months and it is imperative every Sailor and their chain of command read and understand these changes and the subsequent impacts to their career decisions. This will reduce interruptions in pay and help maximize timeliness of SRB processing.
8. The following guidance is provided on Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) specific SRB and lateral conversions. Acceptance of an NEC-specific SRB contract indicates an agreement between the Sailor and Navy to utilize skills attributed to the NEC during the Sailor’s enlistment to meet fleet readiness requirements. In subsequent tours, a Sailor must be willing to be detailed during the normal projected rotation date window to an available billet within the SRB contracted NEC, consistent with sea-shore flow requirements. Lateral conversions must follow REF B, para 12.d. Lateral conversion requests will not be processed more than nine months before the expiration of active obligated service (EAOS). Conversions to a rate with a lower award level will not be approved.
9. Perform-to-Serve (PTS) requirements. An SRB request for a Sailor who requires pts approval must be submitted after the Sailor has been officially notified of PTS approval. The status of PTS approval may be viewed through OPINS in the estimated date of loss to Navy (EDLN) field of the I31 screen.
10. Reenlistment procedures. Sailors may request to reenlist early for SRB so long as their EAOS is within the current fiscal year and their hard EAOS is not later than 90 days from the requested date of reenlistment. See ref b, para 12.a and ref c, para 4 for exceptions to this policy. Other policies and administrative procedures in refs a and b and the defense joint military pay system (DJMS) procedures training guide remain in effect. It is recommended Sailors reenlist as close as possible to their EAOS to preserve the maximum value of their SRB payment. Because SRB is calculated based on the number of months for which a Sailor reenlists beyond their current EAOS, reenlisting early reduces the SRB payment.
11. Obligated service to train (OTT) and then reenlist. See ref b, Para 12.e. For OTT guidance. Requests are to be submitted to PERS-811 via NAVPERS 1306/7, enlisted personnel action request. A copy of the authorization message should be retained in the field service jacket or by the Sailor until the SRB reenlistment on graduation day from the course of instruction. Use code 1CC (1RC for FTS) for OTT SRB requests in OPINS.
12. Command responsibilities and procedures. a. Commands must submit SRB requests via OPINS 35-120 days in advance of the Sailor’s EAOS or reenlistment date to ensure the approval or disapproval message will reach the Sailor’s command and the defense finance and accounting service (DFAS) before the reenlistment date. Timeliness is critical because the approved precert notifies the DJMS of the Sailor’s intent to reenlist, prevents interruption of pay, and ensures the initial SRB payment posts to the Sailor’s account. Any changes to the approval may cause errors and slow payments. As a result, changes should be prevented. Requests submitted less than 35 days prior to the reenlistment date without substantial justification will be rejected. Sailors must have approved precerts before reenlisting, though they may wait until their EAOS to reenlist. The servicing personnel office is responsible for verifying the reenlistment, posting the contract and releasing the first payment. b. Commands initiating SRB precerts must ensure all of the data included in the precert request is correct and the Sailor is eligible to reenlist for the requested SRB. The SRB request shall not be entered into OPINS until the commanding officer has approved the reenlistment request. c. A Sailor with an approved precert who does not reenlist on the date or for the term specified on the precert message must have their command contact pers-811d to initiate a reenlistment cancellation to avoid placing the Sailor in an overpaid status.
13. Inoperative extensions. A maximum of 24 months of inoperative extension time will not count against the calculation of a Sailor’s SRB provided the reenlistment is for greater than the period of the Inoperative extension plus 24 months day-for-day. This calculation Is performed automatically by PERS 811. Local commands are not authorized to cancel extensions for the purpose of immediate SRB reenlistments.
14. Precert requirements. The following are required when submitting precert requests: a. To validate an inoperative extension of enlistment and expedite processing of an SRB request, include the following in the remarks paragraph of the request: term, narrative reason, authority, and execution date of all inoperative extensions. Failure to verify extensions will cause processing delays and may result in rejection of the request or an approval at a lower amount. b. A conditional extension of enlistment (any extension less than 24 months) must meet the reasons and terms specified in MILPERSMAN 1160-040 and refs a and d, and must be approved by Pers-811. Sailors must obtain an approval for extension from PERS-811 in order to minimize the potential for loss of SRB eligibility. c. Personnel in a closed loop NEC can reenlist by the NEC only.
15. Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) guidance. Sailors assigned to LCS platforms or with orders to an LCS platform who possess an NEC specifically required for LCS assignment (i.e., hybrid Sailors) are authorized to reenlist for the more lucrative SRB-eligible NEC, regardless of assigned rating.
16. Point of contact for a Sailor who has reenlisted and has not received their SRB payment, or has questions concerning the taxation of their SRB and annual installments, is the Sailor’s servicing pay office or PSD/CSD. SRB tax info is also discussed in DODFMR vol 7a, ch 44, table 44-1, rule 7. The point of contact for a Sailor with questions regarding the SRB program is their Command Career Counselor (CCC). For technical questions or clarifications, CCCs, not the Individual Sailors, are encouraged to contact pers-811d at (901) 874-2526/dsn 882, fax (901) 874-2623/dsn 882 or e-mail at ETC(SW/AW) Mccann at scott.mccann(at)navy.mil or Mr. Frank Palomo at francisco.palomo(at)navy.mil.
17. We will continue to assess retention behavior and adjust SRB award levels accordingly.

RMKS/1.  THIS NAVADMIN ANNOUNCES REVISED SELECTIVE REENLISTMENT
BONUS (SRB) AWARD LEVELS FOR ACTIVE COMPONENT AND RESERVE COMPONENT
FULL TIME SUPPORT (FTS).  THIS NAVADMIN SUPERSEDES NAVADMIN 240/08.
INCREASED AWARD LEVELS ARE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY AND DECREASES ARE
EFFECTIVE 11 MARCH 2009.
2.  THE INCREASE IN MOST OF THE ENLISTED NUCLEAR PROGRAM SRB AWARD
LEVELS ARE IN EFFECT FOR A LIMITED PERIOD.  THESE NEW AWARD LEVELS
ARE LISTED BELOW IN PARA 13.  THIS IS A UNIQUE REENLISTMENT
OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR MOST CRITICAL NUCLEAR SKILLS.  THE NUCLEAR
PROGRAM SRB AWARD LEVELS LISTED IN PARA 13 WILL BE REDUCED TO AT OR
BELOW THEIR CURRENT LEVELS NO LATER THAN 11 MAY 2009.  A SEPARATE
NAVADMIN WILL BE RELEASED 30 DAYS PRIOR TO THE REDUCTION TO CONFIRM
THE SPECIFIC SRB AWARD LEVEL REDUCTIONS FOR THE ENLISTED NUCLEAR
PROGRAM.
3.  REF B ANNOUNCED NEW SRB POLICIES ON THE EARLY REENLISTMENT
WINDOW.  REF C ANNOUNCED CHANGES IN POLICIES ON SHORT TERM
EXTENSIONS.  THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL POLICY CHANGES OVER THE PAST
FEW MONTHS AND IT IS IMPERATIVE EVERY SAILOR AND THEIR CHAIN OF
COMMAND READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE CHANGES AND THE SUBSEQUENT IMPACTS
TO THEIR CAREER DECISION MAKING OPPORTUNITIES.  THIS WILL REDUCE
INTERRUPTIONS IN PAY AND HELP MAXIMIZE TIMELINESS OF SRB PROCESSING.
4.  THE FOLLOWING GUIDANCE IS PROVIDED ON NAVY ENLISTED
CLASSIFICATION (NEC) SPECIFIC SRB AND LATERAL CONVERSIONS.
ACCEPTANCE OF AN NEC-SPECIFIC SRB CONTRACT INDICATES AN AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE SAILOR AND THE NAVY TO UTILIZE THE SKILLS ATTRIBUTED TO
THE NEC DURING THE SAILOR'S ENLISTMENT TO MEET FLEET READINESS
REQUIREMENTS.  IN SUBSEQUENT TOURS, A SAILOR MUST BE WILLING TO BE
DETAILED DURING THE NORMAL PROJECTED ROTATION DATE WINDOW TO A
BILLET AVAILABLE WITHIN THE SRB CONTRACTED NEC, CONSISTENT WITH
SEA-SHORE FLOW REQUIREMENTS.  LATERAL CONVERSIONS MUST FOLLOW REF
A, PARA 12.D.  LATERAL CONVERSION REQUESTS WILL NOT BE PROCESSED
MORE THAN NINE MONTHS BEFORE THE EXPIRATION OF ACTIVE OBLIGATED
SERVICE (EAOS).  CONVERSIONS TO A RATE WITH A LOWER AWARD LEVEL
WILL NOT BE APPROVED.
5.  INFORMATION ON INCREASED AND DECREASED AWARD LEVELS.
    A.  AN ELIGIBLE SAILOR WITH A NAVY PERSONNEL COMMAND (NPC)
APPROVED SRB REQUEST WHO HAS NOT YET REENLISTED OR EXECUTED AN SRB
QUALIFYING EXTENSION, AND WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM A HIGHER AWARD
LEVEL UNDER THIS PLAN, WILL BE RE-APPROVED USING THE NEW AWARD LEVEL.
SAILORS SHOULD ALLOW AT LEAST ONE FULL WORKING DAY FOR THE
REPROGRAMMING OF THE OFFICER PERSONNEL INFORMATION SYSTEM (OPINS)
WITH THE NEW AWARD LEVELS.  ONCE OPINS IS REPROGRAMMED, THE AFFECTED
APPROVALS WILL BE UPDATED BY PERS-811 AND NEW APPROVAL MESSAGES WILL
BE TRANSMITTED TO THE SAILOR'S COMMAND.  ALLOW THREE WORKING DAYS
FOR THESE NEW MESSAGES TO REACH COMMANDS PRIOR TO CONTACTING THE SRB
DESK.  THE COMMAND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THE SAILOR'S PAY
ACCOUNT IS UPDATED TO REFLECT THE NEW AMOUNT AND THAT ANY ERRORS IN
THE PAY SYSTEM ARE CORRECTED AND CLEARED.
    B.  A SAILOR IN A SKILL LISTED FOR REDUCTION OR TERMINATION OF
AWARD LEVEL WHO HAS AN APPROVAL MESSAGE OR A PENDING
PRECERTIFICATION (PRECERT) FOR A REENLISTMENT DATE AFTER 10 MARCH
2009, MUST RESUBMIT THE REQUEST FOR A NEW REENLISTMENT DATE OF
10 MARCH 2009 OR EARLIER TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE HIGHER AWARD LEVEL
PROVIDED THEIR EAOS IS NOT LATER THAN 9 MAY 2009 (90 DAYS FOLLOWING
THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS MESSAGE AS DESCRIBED IN REF B.  THIS EAOS
RESTRICTION, I.E., EAOS MUST BE ON OR BEFORE 9 MAY 2009, ALSO
APPLIES IN THE CASE OF A SAILOR WHOSE SRB AWARD LEVEL HAS DECREASED
(OR BEEN TERMINATED) BUT WHO DID NOT ALREADY POSSESS AN APPROVAL
MESSAGE OR PRECERT.  A SAILOR MUST MEET ALL ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
UNDER PARA 7 FOR THE NEW, OR REQUESTED, DATE OF REENLISTMENT.  THE
ONLY EXCEPTIONS TO THIS ARE OUTLINED IN REF A, PARA 12.A AND REF B,
PARA 4.
6.  PERFORM-TO-SERVE (PTS) REQUIREMENTS.  AN SRB REQUEST FOR A
SAILOR WHO REQUIRES PTS APPROVAL MUST BE SUBMITTED AFTER THE SAILOR
HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED OF PTS APPROVAL.  THE STATUS OF PTS
APPROVAL MAY BE VIEWED THROUGH OPINS IN THE ESTIMATED DATE OF LOSS
TO NAVY (EDLN) FIELD OF THE I31 SCREEN.
7.  REENLISTMENT PROCEDURES.  SAILORS MAY REQUEST TO REENLIST EARLY
FOR SRB SO LONG AS THEIR EAOS IS WITHIN THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR AND
THEIR HARD EAOS IS NOT LATER THAN 90 DAYS FROM THE REQUESTED DATE OF
REENLISTMENT.  SEE REF A, PARA 12 AND REF B, PARA 4 FOR EXCEPTIONS
TO THIS POLICY.  OTHER POLICIES AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES IN REF
A AND THE DEFENSE JOINT MILITARY PAY SYSTEM (DJMS) PROCEDURES
TRAINING GUIDE REMAIN IN EFFECT.  IT IS RECOMMENDED SAILORS REENLIST
AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THEIR EAOS TO PRESERVE THE MAXIMUM VALUE OF
THEIR SRB PAYMENT.  BECAUSE SRB IS CALCULATED BASED ON THE NUMBER OF
MONTHS FOR WHICH A SAILOR REENLISTS BEYOND THEIR CURRENT EAOS,
REENLISTING EARLY REDUCES THE SRB PAYMENT.
8.  OBLIGATE SERVICE TO TRAIN (OTT) AND THEN REENLIST.  SEE REF A,
PARA 12.E. FOR OTT GUIDANCE.  REQUESTS ARE TO BE SUBMITTED TO
PERS-811 VIA NAVPERS 1306/7, ENLISTED PERSONNEL ACTION REQUEST.  A COPY
OF THE AUTHORIZATION MESSAGE SHOULD BE b  RETAINED IN THE FIELD SERVICE
JACKET OR BY THE SAILOR UNTIL THE SRB REENLISTMENT ON GRADUATION DAY
FROM THE COURSE OF INSTRUCTION.  USE CODE 1CC FOR OTT SRB REQUESTS IN
OPINS.
9.  COMMAND RESPONSIBILITIES AND PROCEDURES.
    A.  COMMANDS MUST SUBMIT SRB REQUESTS VIA OPINS 35-120 DAYS IN
ADVANCE OF THE SAILORS EAOS OR REENLISTMENT DATE TO ENSURE THE
APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL MESSAGE WILL REACH THE SAILOR'S COMMAND AND
THE DEFENSE FINANCE AND ACCOUNTING SERVICE (DFAS) BEFORE THE
REENLISTMENT DATE.  TIMELINESS IS CRITICAL BECAUSE THE APPROVED
PRECERT NOTIFIES THE DJMS OF THE SAILOR'S INTENT TO REENLIST,
PREVENTS INTERRUPTION OF PAY, AND ENSURES THE INITIAL SRB PAYMENT
POSTS TO THE SAILOR'S ACCOUNT.  ANY CHANGES TO THE APPROVAL MAY
CAUSE ERRORS AND SLOW PAYMENTS.  AS A RESULT, CHANGES SHOULD BE
PREVENTED.  REQUESTS SUBMITTED LESS THAN 35 DAYS PRIOR TO THE
REENLISTMENT DATE MAY BE REJECTED.  SAILORS MUST HAVE APPROVED
PRECERTS BEFORE REENLISTING, THOUGH THEY MAY WAIT UNTIL THEIR EAOS
TO REENLIST.  THE SERVICING PERSONNEL OFFICE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
VERIFYING THE REENLISTMENT, POSTING THE CONTRACT AND RELEASING THE
FIRST PAYMENT.
    B.  COMMANDS INITIATING SRB PRECERTS MUST ENSURE ALL OF THE DATA
INCLUDED IN THE PRECERT REQUEST IS CORRECT AND THE SAILOR IS
ELIGIBLE TO REENLIST FOR THE REQUESTED SRB.  THE SRB REQUEST SHALL
NOT BE ENTERED INTO OPINS UNTIL THE COMMANDING OFFICER HAS APPROVED
THE REENLISTMENT REQUEST.
    C.  A SAILOR WITH AN APPROVED PRECERT WHO DOES NOT REENLIST ON
THE DATE OR FOR THE TERM SPECIFIED ON THE PRECERT MESSAGE MUST HAVE
THEIR COMMAND CONTACT PERS-811D TO INITIATE A REENLISTMENT
CANCELLATION TO AVOID PLACING THE SAILOR IN AN OVERPAID STATUS.
10.  CANCELLATION OF INOPERATIVE EXTENSIONS.  ANY SAILOR MAY REQUEST
TO CANCEL UP TO 24 MONTHS OF AN INOPERATIVE EXTENSION OF ENLISTMENT
PROVIDED PARA A AND B BELOW ARE MET:
    A.  CANCELLATION OF THE EXTENSION IS AUTHORIZED BY PERS-811
BEFORE IT BECOMES OPERATIVE.
    B.  THE SAILOR IMMEDIATELY REENLISTS FOR AT LEAST 24 MONTHS
BEYOND THE EXTENDED EAOS, DAY-FOR-DAY.
    C.  ALL INOPERATIVE EXTENSIONS NOT CANCELLED BY PERS-811 WILL
COUNT AGAINST THE CALCULATION OF A SAILOR'S SRB AWARD UNLESS THE
REENLISTMENT IS FOR GREATER THAN THE PERIOD OF THE INOPERATIVE
EXTENSION PLUS 24 MONTHS DAY-FOR-DAY.  A SAILOR WITH A 24-MONTH
INOPERATIVE EXTENSION WHO EXECUTES A FOUR-YEAR REENLISTMENT ON, NOT
BEFORE OR AFTER, THE EAOS WILL RECEIVE 48 MONTHS WORTH OF SRB.
    D.  IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO CANCEL AN INOPERATIVE EXTENSION OF 24
MONTHS OR LESS, PROVIDED THE REENLISTMENT MEETS THE 24 MONTHS DAY-
FOR-DAY RULE.
    E.   EXTENSIONS FOR GREATER THAN 24 MONTHS MAY NOT BE CANCELLED.
EXTENSIONS EXECUTED FOR ENLISTMENT BONUSES AND NAVY CASH WILL NOT BE
CANCELLED.
11.  PRECERT REQUIREMENTS.  THE FOLLOWING ARE REQUIRED WHEN
SUBMITTING PRECERT REQUESTS:
    A.  TO VALIDATE AN INOPERATIVE EXTENSION OF ENLISTMENT AND

REMARKS PARAGRAPH OF THE REQUEST:  TERM, NARRATIVE REASON, AUTHORITY,
AND EXECUTION DATE OF ALL INOPERATIVE EXTENSIONS.  FAILURE TO VERIFY
EXTENSIONS MAY CAUSE PROCESSING DELAYS AND RESULT IN REJECTION OF
THE REQUEST OR AN APPROVAL AT A LOWER AMOUNT.
    B.  A CONDITIONAL EXTENSION OF ENLISTMENT (ANY EXTENSION LESS
THAN 24 MONTHS) MUST MEET THE REASONS AND TERMS SPECIFIED IN REF A
AND MILPERSMAN 1160-040 AND REF C, AND MUST BE APPROVED BY PERS-811.
SAILORS MUST OBTAIN AN APPROVAL FOR EXTENSION FROM PERS-811 IN ORDER
TO MINIMIZE THE POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF SRB ELIGIBILITY.
    C.  PERSONNEL IN A CLOSED LOOP NEC CAN REENLIST BY THE NEC ONLY.
12.  LITTORAL COMBAT SHIP (LCS) GUIDANCE.  SAILORS ASSIGNED TO LCS
PLATFORMS OR WITH ORDERS TO AN LCS PLATFORM WHO POSSESS AN NEC
SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED FOR LCS ASSIGNMENT (I.E., HYBRID SAILORS) ARE
AUTHORIZED TO REENLIST FOR THE MORE LUCRATIVE SRB- ELIGIBLE NEC,
REGARDLESS OF ASSIGNED RATING.
13.  REVISED AWARD PLAN.
    A.  A "-" SYMBOL PRECEDING AN AWARD LEVEL INDICATES A DECREASE
TO THAT AWARD AND/OR CEILING LEVEL FOR THAT SPECIFIC ZONE.  A "+"
SYMBOL PRECEDING AN AWARD LEVEL FOR A SPECIFIC ZONE OR PRECEDING A
RATING INDICATES AN INCREASE TO THAT AWARD LEVEL AND/OR CEILING FOR
THAT SPECIFIC ZONE OR THE ADDITION OF THE RATING TO THE SRB AWARD
PLAN.
    B.  THE FOLLOWING RATINGS AND NECS ARE ESSENTIAL TO OUR
CONTINUED WARFIGHTING EFFORT.  COMMUNITY MANAGERS ARE FOCUSED ON
PROVIDING SAILORS THE APPROPRIATE INCENTIVE TO RETAIN THE RIGHT
INDIVIDUALS WITH THE RIGHT SKILLS AND ESSENTIAL FLEET AND LEADERSHIP
EXPERIENCE.

]]> NAVADMIN 006/09 was released today placing a re-enlistment requirement of 90 days from the end of your obligated service (EAOS) for getting your selective reenlistment bonus (SRB). At least one of the exceptions is Sailors who are eligible for combat zone tax exclusion (CZTE) or serving in a qualified hazardous duty area (HDA) and have a hard EAOS that falls in the most current fiscal year are not subject to the 90-day rolling window of eligibility and are authorized to reenlist anytime within the fiscal year. These Sailors, along with command career counselors must annotate in the remarks section of the pre-certification request whether they are currently CZTE eligible or serving in a qualified HDA. A condition of approval of this pre-certification request is that the Sailor’s reenlistment occurs in a month during which CZTE or HDA qualification applies. Here is the NAVADMIN in its entirety;

08// AMPN/REF A IS SRB PROGRAM INSTRUCTION (OPNAVINST 1160.8A), REF B

RMKS/1. THIS NAVADMIN ANNOUNCES CHANGES TO POLICIES IN REF A, PARA 12
AND REF B GOVERNING THE EARLY REENLISTMENT WINDOW FOR SRB ELIGIBLE
SAILORS.
2. EARLY REENLISTMENT WINDOW. EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, SAILORS CAN
REENLIST FOR SRB NO MORE THAN 90 DAYS PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THEIR
ACTIVE OBLIGATED SERVICE OR EAOS (EXCLUDES ANY NON-OPERATIVE
EXTENSION(S) OF ENLISTMENT AND WILL BE REFERRED TO THROUGHOUT THIS
NAVADMIN AS “HARD EAOS”) UNLESS THEY FALL UNDER THE CURRENT EXCEPTIONS
IN PARA 12 OF REF A OR THEY ARE REENLISTING FOR ONE OF THE
RATINGS/NECS/SKILLS LISTED BELOW IN PARA 4. ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE
LIST IN PARA 4, IF NEEDED, WILL BE INCLUDED IN FUTURE SRB AWARD PLAN
NAVADMINS. THIS POLICY CHANGE INSTITUTES A ROLLING 90-DAY WINDOW TO
REENLIST EARLY FOR SRB WITHIN THE FISCAL YEAR. THIS ROLLING WINDOW
WILL PROGRESS THROUGH THE FISCAL YEAR BUT WILL NOT CROSS THE FISCAL
YEAR BOUNDARY. THIS IS A CHANGE FROM THE CURRENT POLICY IN PARA 12 OF
REF A AND OF REF B UNDER WHICH A SAILOR IS ELIGIBLE TO REENLIST EARLY
FOR SRB ANY TIME WITHIN THE SAME FISCAL YEAR AS THEIR HARD EAOS. ALL
SRB REENLISTMENT REQUESTS ARE REQUIRED TO BE SUBMITTED VIA OPINS 35-
120 DAYS PRIOR TO THE REQUESTED REENLISTMENT DATE. SRB REQUESTS
SUBMITTED LESS THAN 35 DAYS IN ADVANCE OF THE REQUESTED DATE OF
REENLISTMENT MAY BE REJECTED.
3. WHEN A NEW SRB AWARD PLAN IS ANNOUNCED, THE 90-DAY ROLLING WINDOW
REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR ALL SRB-ELIGIBLE SAILORS WITH AWARD LEVELS THAT
REMAIN THE SAME OR INCREASE. A SAILOR WHOSE SRB AWARD LEVEL DECREASES
OR IS REMOVED IS ELIGIBLE TO REENLIST IN THE FIRST 30 DAYS FOLLOWING
RELEASE OF A NEW SRB AWARD PLAN ONLY IF THEIR HARD EAOS IS WITHIN 90
DAYS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE MESSAGE. ON THE DAY AFTER THAT
PERIOD ENDS, A NEW 90-DAY ROLLING PERIOD BEGINS. AS WITH THE
EXCEPTIONS MENTIONED IN PARA 2 ABOVE, EXCEPTIONS TO THIS CHANGE IN THE
SRB EARLY REENLISTMENT WINDOW POLICY ARE IN REF A, PARA 12 AND PARA 4
BELOW.
4. THE FOLLOWING NECS IN ZONES A, B AND C ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE 90-
DAY ROLLING WINDOW OF ELIGIBILITY AND ARE AUTHORIZED TO REENLIST
ANYTIME WITHIN THE FISCAL YEAR:
RATING NEC
EOD 5333
EOD 5335
EOD 5337
SO 5320

ADDITIONALLY, SAILORS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE FOR COMBAT ZONE TAX EXCLUSION
