5. NOTES
A. THE SRB FOR THIS RATING OR NAVY ENLISTED CLASSIFICATION
(NEC) IS TIED TO AN INCUMBENT BILLET OR TO ORDERS NEGOTIATED FOR THE NEXT
BILLET. COMMANDS MUST VERIFY IF THE MEMBER IS CURRENTLY IN, OR HAS ORDERS TO
A BILLET REQUIRING THIS NEC AND ANNOTATE THIS VERIFICATION IN THE COMMENTS
SECTION OF THE PRECERTIFICATION REQUEST.
B. AN SRB APPROVAL FOR ALL CT, IS, IT, AND ITS RATINGS 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 A
SSBI PACKAGE AND MAKE NOTE OF THIS IN THE COMMENTS SECTION OF THE
PRECERTIFICATION REQUEST.
C. REENLISTMENT COMPENSATION FOR ZONE 1-3 NUCLEAR TRAINED PERSONNEL
HOLDING A NUCLEAR SUPERVISOR NEC SHALL BE PROVIDED UNDER THE ENLISTED
SUPERVISOR RETENTION PAY (ESRP) PROGRAM IAW POLICIES AND PROCEDURES DETAILED
IN REF (C).
D. LETTERS APPEARING WITH AN NEC ARE ONLY FOR ADMINISTRATIVE USE.
E. 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
(FORMAN) AND THE OFFICER PERSONNEL INFORMATION SYSTEM (OPINS) TO INPUT A SRB
PRECERTIFICATION 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 PRECERTIFICATION
FOR RATING.
F. SUBSURFACE NECS. SUBSURFACE ELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN 14XXA IDENTIFIES
ALL SUBSURFACE ELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN COMMUNICATIONS SAILORS WHO HOLD NECS
BEGINNING WITH THE NUMBER 14. SUBSURFACE ELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN NAVIGATION
14XXB IDENTIFIES SUBSURFACE ELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN NAVIGATION SAILORS AND
INCLUDES ALL SUBSURFACE ELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN NAVIGATION NECS BEGINNING WITH
THE NUMBER 14.
G. RATINGS ELIGIBLE FOR NEC 0304 ARE: AWO, ET, QM, AND OS.
H. 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.
I. E-3 TO E-6 PERSONNEL ONLY.
J. E-4 TO E-6 PERSONNEL ONLY.
K. IF THE REQUEST IS SUBMITTED TO NAVY STANDARD INTEGRATED PERSONNEL
SYSTEM (NSIPS), THE NEC OF 5392 SHOULD BE SUBMITTED AND NAVY PERSONNEL
COMMAND (NPC) WILL MAKE THE CORRECTION TO THE APPROPRIATE NEC IN THE OPINS
SYSTEM. IF SUBMITTED VIA OPINS, 5392A OR 5392B SHOULD BE SUBMITTED AS
APPROPRIATE.
L. IF THE REQUEST IS SUBMITTED TO NSIPS, THE NEC OF 0416 SHOULD BE
SUBMITTED AND NPC WILL MAKE THE CORRECTION TO NEC 0416S IN THE OPINS SYSTEM.
IF SUBMITTED VIA OPINS 0416S SHOULD BE SUBMITTED.
6. LITTORAL COMBAT SHIP (LCS) GUIDANCE. SAILORS ASSIGNED TO LCS PLATFORMS
OR WITH ORDERS TO AN LCS PLATFORM WHO POSSESS MULTIPLE NECS SPECIFICALLY
REQUIRED FOR LCS ASSIGNMENT ARE AUTHORIZED TO REENLIST FOR THE MOST LUCRATIVE
SRB-ELIGIBLE NEC, REGARDLESS OF ASSIGNED RATING.
7. REENLISTMENT OPPORTUNITY:
A. SAILORS SERVING IN TIER ONE SKILLS ARE ELIGIBLE TO REENLIST ANY TIME
WITHIN THE SAME FISCAL YEAR (FY) OF THEIR END OF ACTIVE OBLIGATED SERVICE
(EAOS).
B. SAILORS SERVING IN A TIER TWO OR THREE SKILL MUST REENLIST IN THE
SAME FY AS THEIR EAOS AND WITHIN 90 DAYS OF THEIR EAOS.
C. SAILORS SERVING IN A TIER TWO OR THREE SKILL AND ELIGIBLE FOR COMBAT
ZONE TAX EXCLUSION (CZTE) ARE AUTHORIZED TO REENLIST ANYTIME WITHIN THE SAME
FY AS THEIR EAOS. THESE SAILORS ALONG WITH COMMAND CAREER COUNSELORS MUST
ANNOTATE IN THE REMARKS SECTION OF THE PRECERTIFICATION REQUEST WHETHER THEY
ARE CURRENTLY CZTE ELIGIBLE OR SERVING IN A QUALIFIED HAZARDOUS DUTY AREA
(QHDA). A CONDITION OF APPROVAL OF THEIR PRECERTIFICATION REQUEST IS THAT
THE SAILOR'S REENLISTMENT OCCURS IN A MONTH DURING WHICH CZTE QUALIFICATION
APPLIES.
D. SAILORS SERVING IN TIER TWO OR TIER THREE SRB SKILLS WHO RECEIVED AN
EP IN BLOCK 45 OF THEIR MOST RECENT REGULAR PERIODIC EVALUATION WILL BE
ALLOWED TO REENLIST EARLY ANY TIME WITHIN THE FY 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 PAYGRADE. PERSONNEL MUST E-MAIL A
SIGNED COPY OF THE EVALUATION TO NPC (PERS-81) ONCE THEIR PRECERTIFICATION
HAS BEEN SUBMITTED. THIS REQUIREMENT IS ONLY FOR THOSE THAT FALL UNDER THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH.
8. SRB PRECERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS:
A. CAREER WAYPOINTS - REENLISTMENT (CWAY-REEN): COMMANDS ARE AUTHORIZED
TO SUBMIT SRB REENLISTMENT REQUESTS PRIOR TO A MEMBER RECEIVING A CWAY-REEN
QUOTA; HOWEVER, THE CWAY-REEN QUOTA REQUEST MUST HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED AND THE
SRB REQUEST WILL NOT BE PROCESSED UNTIL THE MEMBER HAS RECEIVED CWAY-REEN
CONFIRMATION. SRB REQUESTS WITHOUT CWAY-REEN APPROVAL WILL STILL BE REJECTED
IN THE OPINS TO KEEP THE COMMAND INFORMED OF POTENTIAL SRB APPROVAL ISSUES.
ONCE A MEMBER HAS AN APPROVED CWAY-REEN QUOTA, THE COMMAND SHOULD CONTACT
PERS-81 TO CLEAR ANY REJECTIONS.
B. COMMANDS ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT SRB REENLISTMENT REQUESTS TO
PERS-81 VIA OPINS OR NSIPS 35-120 DAYS IN ADVANCE OF THE SAILOR'S REQUESTED
REENLISTMENT DATE. REQUESTS SUBMITTED LESS THAN 35 DAYS PRIOR TO THE
REQUESTED REENLISTMENT DATE WILL BE REJECTED; HOWEVER, COMMANDS MAY CONTACT
PERS-81 FOR WAIVER ELIGIBILITY AND PROCEDURES.
SAILORS MUST HAVE APPROVED PRECERTIFICATION BEFORE REENLISTING. THE QQQQ
SERVICING PERSONNEL OFFICE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR VERIFYING THE REENLISTMENT,
POSTING THE CONTRACT, RELEASING THE FIRST PAYMENT, AND VERIFYING THE MASTER
MILITARY PAY ACCOUNT.
C. SAILORS WITH APPROVED PRECERTIFICATION WHO DO NOT REENLIST ON THE
DATE OR FOR THE TERM SPECIFIED IN THE PRECERTIFICATION MESSAGE MUST HAVE
THEIR COMMAND CONTACT NPC (PERS-81) 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 NPC
(PERS-81) IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE THE POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF SRB ELIGIBILITY.
9. NEC-SPECIFIC SRB AND LATERAL CONVERSIONS. ACCEPTANCE OF A NEC- SPECIFIC
SRB CONTRACT INDICATES AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE SAILOR AND THE NAVY TO USE
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 (D), 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.
10. OBLIGATED SERVICE TO TRAIN (OTT) AND THEN REENLIST. SEE REF (D), PARA
12.E, FOR OTT GUIDANCE. REQUESTS ARE TO BE SUBMITTED TO NPC
(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 THE INSTRUCTION. USE CODE 1CC (1RC FOR FTS) FOR OTT SRB
REQUEST IN OPINS OR NSIPS.
11. INOPERATIVE EXTENSIONS POLICY. IN KEEPING WITH DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
(DOD) POLICY, PERSONNEL WHO ACCEPTED AN ENLISTMENT BONUS (EB) FOR EXTENDED
EBEE, AS REFLECTED ON THEIR NAVCRUIT 1133/52, ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO USE THIS
INOPERATIVE EXTENSION TIME IN THE SRB CALCULATION. SAILORS WHO HAVE
INOPERATIVE EXTENSION TIME THROUGH A FIVE-YEAR OBLIGATION OR SIX-YEAR
OBLIGATION PROGRAM, OR AS AUTHORIZED IN REF (E), 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 NPC (PERS-81). 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 EB FOR EBEE CONTRACT.
12. REPAYMENT. REPAYMENT POLICY IS GOVERNED BY SECTION 373 OF TITLE 37,
U.S. CODE, AND REFS (F) THROUGH (I), WHICH COLLECTIVELY DETERMINE WHEN
