RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces revised Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB)
award levels and reenlistment policy for Active Component and Full-Time
Support (FTS). This NAVADMIN expands the SRB program by adding 39 skills in
24 ratings that have not received SRB in recent years, and also expands the
eligibility window to reenlist for SRB from 90 days to 180 days before a
Sailors End of Active Obligated Service (EAOS) within the same fiscal year,
and supersedes reference (a). Changes to Navy Enlisted Classifications
(NECs) as a result of the new NEC construct are reflected throughout this
NAVADMIN. As a reference, both legacy and new NECs are listed below to show
SRB eligible ratings/skills. Legacy NECs are annotated in this NAVADMIN as
LNEC and new NECs are annotated as NNEC. Commands should check the NPC
website listed in paragraph 3 for updates as new NECs are released.
2. Increased award levels are effective immediately and decreased levels are
effective 30 days after the release of this NAVADMIN.
3. Reenlistment requests for the following SRB award levels will be approved
based on quota availability. SRB reenlistment requests must be submitted to
Enlisted Career Administration/Enlisted Boards
(BUPERS-328) via Officer Personnel Information System (OPINS) or Navy
Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) 35 to 120 days in advance of the
requested reenlistment date for the Sailor. Eligible Sailors desiring SRB
reenlistment are encouraged to work with their chain of command as early as
possible within their reenlistment window to maximize potential for SRB.
BUPERS-328 maintains the current list of SRB eligible ratings/skills based on
available quotas at the following website:
http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-
npc/career/enlistedcareeradmin/pages/srb.aspx. Addendums to the current
award message posted on this site provide notification of skill closures and
supersede the current NAVADMIN. For those commands with limited internet
access, command career counselors
(CCC) should contact BUPERS-328 directly for the latest updates.
4. Active component SRB award levels are as follows (Note: a * indicates a
level located in other sections of paragraph 5, a - indicates a reduction
from previous award level, a + indicates an increase from previous award
level):

b. Notes
(1) NEC 0000, commonly referred to as quad zero, is listed here to
establish that Sailors in these ratings/career fields can hold any or no NEC
and still be qualified for the SRB provided they meet all other applicable
non-NEC related criteria.
(2) Subsurface or surface designation does not mean an individual
must be subsurface or enlisted surface warfare specialist qualified, but it
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 the force management system and the OPINS to input a SRB
precertification request, use the rating (with appropriate suffix
designation/NEC) as specified in this NAVADMIN. For example, a surface
electronics technician with no NEC would submit 'ET(SW)' on precertification
for rating.
(3) An SRB approval for all CT, IS, IT, and ITS ratings will be
contingent upon the Sailor having a current single scope background
investigation (SSBI) or Tier 5 investigation, an active SSBI/Tier 5 or recent
submission of a SSBI/Tier 5 package. Commands must verify the Sailor has a
current SSBI/Tier 5, active SSBI/Tier 5, or has submitted a SSBI/Tier 5
package and make note of this in the comments section of the precertification
request.
(4) E-3 to E-6 Sailors only. Sailors selected for E-7 advancement
are not eligible for SRB.
(5) X is used as a placeholder to identify where multiple LNECs
within a rating are eligible for a stated award level.
Sailors in the specified rating that hold an LNEC that includes the numbers
preceding X or XX are eligible for SRB. For example, SO 539XA includes SO
5391 and SO 5392 or 14XX includes all subsurface electronics technician
navigation LNECs beginning with 14.
(6) Letters appearing with an LNEC are only for administrative use.
(7) Reenlistment bonuses for nuclear-trained Sailors:
(a) Reenlistment compensation for zones 1 through 3 nuclear-
trained Sailors holding a nuclear supervisor NEC shall be provided under the
Enlisted Supervisor Retention Pay (ESRP) Program in line with policies and
procedures detailed in reference (b) along with current ESRP multiples.
(b) SRB entitlement for eligible nuclear-trained Sailors who
reenlist after applying for an officer program will be held pending selection
results. For nuclear-trained Sailors only, the date on which conditional
release is approved by Nuclear Propulsion Program Manager (OPNAV N133) as
directed in reference (c) is considered the date of the application to an
officer program with the exception of STA-21(N) and Limited Duty Officer
(LDO). For STA-
21(N) and LDO, the application deadline is considered the suspense date.
(8) E-4 to E-6 Sailors only. Sailors selected for E-7 advancement
are not eligible for SRB.
(9) E-3 to E-5 Sailors only. Sailors selected for E-6 advancement
are not eligible for SRB.
(10) FC AEGIS 0000 SRB eligibility contingent upon graduation of an
FCA NEC awarding "C" School.
(11) Sailors holding a CTI NEC must be differentiated by Enlisted
Manning Code (EMC). Only Sailors having one of the following NECs and
assigned in the respective EMC are eligible for
SRB:
(a) LNEC(NNEC): 9SPA, EMC: B515
(b) LNEC(NNEC): 9520(813A)/9RUS, EMC: B516
(c) LNEC(NNEC): 9ARB/9PES, EMC: B511
(d) LNEC(NNEC): 9CMN, EMC: B512
5. Sailors must reenlist within 180 days and in the same fiscal year as
their EAOS, except in the following cases:
a. Nuclear-trained Sailors.
b. Sailors eligible for combat zone tax exclusion (CZTE) are authorized
to reenlist anytime within the same fiscal year as their EAOS. These
Sailors, along with CCC must annotate in the remarks section of the
precertification request whether they are currently CZTE eligible or serving
in a qualified hazardous duty area. A condition of approval of their
precertification request is that the reenlistment of the Sailor occurs in a
month during which CZTE qualification applies.
c. Sailors who received an Early Promote in block 45 of their most
recent regular periodic evaluation 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 in
their previous pay grade. Personnel must e-mail a signed copy of the
evaluation to
PERS-81 once their precertification has been submitted. This requirement is
only for those that fall under the provisions of this paragraph.
6. SRB Submission Requirements
a. Commands are required to submit SRB reenlistment requests to
BUPERS-328 via OPINS or NSIPS 35 to 120 days in advance of the requested
reenlistment date of the Sailor. Requests submitted less than 35 days prior
to the requested reenlistment date will be rejected. However, commands may
contact BUPERS-328 for waiver eligibility and procedures. Sailors must have
an approved SRB request 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.
Commands shall immediately notify OPNAV N130 when a Sailor fails to maintain
eligibility in the skill for which SRB was paid (e.g., loss of Security
Clearance, Medical Disqualification, loss of eligible NEC, Misconduct) or
when a Sailor has an approved separation with a remaining SRB contract
obligation.
b. Career Waypoints - Reenlistment (C-WAY-REEN). Commands are
authorized to submit SRB reenlistment requests prior to a Sailor receiving a
C-WAY-REEN quota. However, the C-WAY-REEN quota request must be submitted.
In these cases, the SRB request will not be processed until the Sailor has
received C-WAY-REEN confirmation.
SRB requests without C-WAY-REEN quota approval will be rejected in OPINS to
keep the command informed of potential SRB approval issues.
Once a Sailor has an approved C-WAY-REEN quota, the command should contact
BUPERS-328 to clear any rejections. Failure to submit a SRB reenlistment
request within the required 35 to 120 day submission window due to awaiting a
C-WAY-REEN quota does not meet eligibility requirements for a 35 day
submission waiver.
c. Sailors with approved SRB requests who do not reenlist on the date or
for the term specified in the precertification message must have their
command contact BUPERS-328 to initiate a reenlistment cancellation to avoid
placing Sailors in an overpaid status.
d. To validate an inoperative extension of enlistment and expedite
processing of an SRB request, include the following information in the
remarks paragraph of the request: term, narrative reason, authority, and
execution date of all inoperative extensions. Failure to verify extension
will cause processing delays and may result in rejection of the request or an
approval at a lower amount.
e. Sailors must obtain an approval for extension from BUPERS-
328 in order to minimize the potential for loss of SRB eligibility.
7. Acceptance of an NEC-specific SRB contract indicates an agreement between
the Sailor and the Navy to use skills attributed to the NEC during the
enlistment of the Sailor 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
reference (d), paragraph 12d. Lateral conversion requests will normally not
be processed more than 9 months before the EAOS. Conversions to a rate with
a lower award level normally will not be approved. Personnel in a closed-
loop NEC can reenlist by the NEC only.
8. Reference (d), paragraph 12e, provides OBLISERV to Train (OTT) guidance.
Requests are to be submitted to PERS-81 extension desk via e-mail. 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 request in OPINS or NSIPS. Additionally, OBLISERV
requirements for schools are provided in reference (e). OBLISERV will be
determined based on the course length as provided in paragraph 3.b. of
reference (e). Paragraph 3.c.(1) no longer applies.
9. In keeping with Department of Defense (DoD) policy, Sailors who accepted
an enlistment bonus for extended enlistment (EBEE), as reflected on their
Enlisted Bonus Payment Checklist (NAVCRUIT
1133/52 (Enlistment Guarantees, New Accession Training Program Enlistment
Guarantee or Professional Apprenticeship Career Track Program Enlistment
Guarantees)), are not authorized to use this inoperative extension time in
the SRB calculation. Sailors who have inoperative extension time through a
5-year obligation or 6-year obligation program, or as authorized in the
Control of Conditional Short Term Extensions NAVADMIN, may continue to have
up to 24 months of inoperative extension time count towards the SRB
calculation 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 BUPERS-328. Local commands are not authorized to
cancel or change extensions for the purpose of immediate SRB reenlistments.
Commands must verify and annotate on the precertification request whether any
inoperative extension time noted is part of an EBEE contract.
10. Repayment policy is governed by section 373 of Title 37 of U.S.
Code, Chapter 2, Volume 7A, of the DoD Financial Management Regulation (FMR);
and reference (d), which collectively determines when repayment of the
unearned portion of a bonus is required or not required but left to
Secretarial discretion, or prohibited. Section
373 of Title 37 of U.S. Code requires repayment with certain exceptions. As
a general rule, repayment of any unearned portion of a bonus will be sought.
11. To ensure all requirements and timelines are met, visit the following
SRB page of the NPC website:
http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-
npc/career/enlistedcareeradmin/Pages/SRB.aspx.
12. The 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 servicing pay office or personnel support
detachment of the Sailor. SRB tax information is also discussed in DoD FMR,
Volume 7A, Chapter 44, table 44-1, rule 7. The point of contact for a Sailor
with questions regarding the SRB program or any information on their on- line
personnel account is their CCC. For technical questions or clarification,
CCCs, not individual Sailors, are encouraged to contact MMNCM James Lucky,
BUPERS-328, at (901) 874-3215/DSN 882 or via e-mail at
james.lucky1@navy.mil, or Mr. Francisco Palomo at
(901) 874-3915/DSN 882, or via e-mail at francisco.palomo@navy.mil, or the
SRB Help Desk at (901) 874- 2526/DSN 882.
13. We will continue to assess retention behavior and adjust SRB award
levels accordingly.
14. This NAVADMIN will remain in effect until superseded or canceled,
whichever comes first.
