RMKS/1.  THIS NAVADMIN ANNOUNCES REVISED 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 FY11 OR ENACTMENT OF A 
CONTINUING RESOLUTION AUTHORITY, LEVELS LISTED IN PARA 4 BELOW ARE 
EFFECTIVE AS OF 1 OCTOBER 2010 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 1 OCTOBER 2010 OR WHEN FY11 FUNDING IS MADE AVAILABLE, WHICHEVER 
IS LATER.

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 
AS A FORCE SHAPING AND STABILIZATION TOOL TO HELP MINIMIZE OVER/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 DEPARTMENT OF 
DEFENSE (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 FY11 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 PARA 12.A OF REF B AND PARA 4 OF 
REF C, ARE ELIGIBLE TO REENLIST EARLY ANY TIME WITHIN THE FISCAL YEAR 
OF THEIR END OF ACTIVE OBLIGATED SERVICE (EAOS).  NUCLEAR SAILORS MAY 
STILL CROSS FISCAL YEAR BOUNDARIES.  SAILORS SERVING IN TIER TWO OR 
TIER THREE SKILLS WHO RECEIVED AN EARLY PROMOTE (EP) 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 NAVY PERSONNEL COMMAND (NAVPERSCOM (PERS-811)) NO LATER 
THAN 35 DAYS IN ADVANCE OF  THE REQUESTED REENLISTMENT DATE.

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 CT, IS, AND IT RATINGS WILL BE 
CONTINGENT UPON MEMBER HAVING A CURRENT SINGLE SCOPE BACKGROUND

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 THE FORCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 
(FORMAN) AND THE OFFICER PERSONNEL INFORMATION SYSTEM (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.

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 REFS B AND E.  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 RESERVE MEMBERS OF THE FTS PROGRAM; 
IT DOES NOT APPLY TO FTS CANVASSER RECRUITERS.
        (10) ONE OF THE FOLLOWING TYPE CODES SHALL BE USED WHEN 
SUBMITTING THE SRB

6.  EARLY REENLISTMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR EP 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 
PAYGRADE.  PERSONNEL MUST FAX OR EMAIL A SIGNED COPY OF THE EVALUATION 
TO NAVPERSCOM (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 NEC-SPECIFIC SRB AND LATERAL 
CONVERSIONS.
ACCEPTANCE OF A 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.  THE 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 
NAVPERSCOM (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

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 AS THE APPROVED PRECERT NOTIFIES 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 AVOIDED.  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 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 NAVPERSCOM (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, 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 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 
NAVPERSCOM (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 ENLISTED BONUS FOR EXTENDED 
ENLISTMENT (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 NAVPERSCOM 
(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 MULTIPLE NEC'S 
SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED FOR LCS ASSIGNMENT ARE AUTHORIZED TO REENLIST FOR 
THE MOST LUCRATIVE SRB-ELIGIBLE NEC, REGARDLESS OF ASSIGNED RATING.
