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 SO 5326 SB 5350 SB 5352 ADDITIONALLY, 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 PRECERTIFICATION REQUEST WHETHER THEY ARE CURRENTLY CZTE ELIGIBLE OR SERVING IN A QUALIFIED HDA. A CONDITION OF APPROVAL OF THIS PRECERTIFICATION REQUEST IS THAT THE SAILOR'S REENLISTMENT OCCURS IN A MONTH DURING WHICH CZTE OR HDA QUALIFICATION APPLIES. COMMANDS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR VALIDATING THEIR SAILOR'S CZTE OR HDA QUALIFICATION AT THE TIME OF REENLISTMENT. 5. SRB REENLISTMENT REQUESTS ALREADY RECEIVED BY PERS-811 THROUGH OPINS AS OF THE DATE OF RELEASE OF THIS NAVADMIN WILL BE PROCESSED UNDER THE PREVIOUS POLICIES IN REF A AND NAVADMIN 240/08, THE CURRENT SRB AWARD PLAN. ALL NEW SRB REENLISTMENT REQUESTS RECEIVED BY PERS-811 AFTER THE RELEASE OF THIS NAVADMIN WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE POLICY CHANGES OF THIS NAVADMIN. ALL OTHER SRB PROGRAM POLICIES AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES IN REFS A AND B AND THE DEFENSE JOINT MILITARY PAY SYSTEM (DJMS) PROCEDURES TRAINING GUIDE REMAIN IN EFFECT.
