RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN supersedes and cancels reference (a). It does not
impose a new requirement. It provides updated guidance and changes the
*effective from* reporting date for certain sex-related offenses per
references (b) and (c). Changes to reference (a) are:
a. Submission timeline of Sexual Offense Accountability Record,
(NAVPERS 1070/887) to a member’s Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) is
increased from two business days to five business days from adjudication of
non-judicial punishment (NJP) or at the completion of the appeal process and
from two business days to five business days from adjudication of a court-
martial.
b. Commanders, commanding officers (CO), and officers in charge (OIC)
are directed to conduct a review and submit NAVPERS 1070/887 for all
personnel within their command who were convicted at court-martial or awarded
NJP for any sex-related offenses listed in paragraph 6 since 26 December
2013.
c. Further amplification of these updates are found in paragraphs 5 and
8 respectively.
2. Reference (b) requires:
a. The inclusion of disposition information on certain sex-related
offenses in the personnel service records of service members.
b. The mandatory review of each service member*s personnel record
notation of those sex-related offenses by commanders, COs, and OICs of the
service members.
3. The purpose of including disposition information on certain sex-related
offenses in personnel service records is to alert commanders, COs, and OICs
of members in their commands who received a court-martial conviction or NJP
for these offenses to reduce the likelihood that repeat offenses will escape
the notice of commanders, COs, and OICs.
4. Per references (b) and (c), commanders, COs, and OICs shall submit and
file NAVPERS 1070/887 in a member*s OMPF where it will remain for the
duration of his or her career.
5. NAVPERS 1070/887 will be used to annotate the OMPF of any service member
who is convicted at court-martial or awarded NJP for sex-related offense(s),
listed in paragraph 6 below, regardless of recommendation for retention or
separation from the naval service. The NAVPERS 1070/887 will be submitted
within five business days of action being determined/adjudication of NJP or
when the appeal process has been completed and five business days of
adjudication at court-martial using the e-Submission (e-SUB) application on
BUPERS Online (BOL) for those with e-Sub access. Commands without e-SUB
access will mail NAVPERS 1070/887 to:
Commander
Navy Personnel Command
PERS-313
5720 Integrity Drive
Millington, TN 38055-3130
NAVPERS 1070/887 will be filed in the service member*s OMPF under field code
91 (FC 91). Once the OMPF is updated, NAVPERS 1070/887 will be available for
commanders, COs, and OICs to review using the OMPF command view application
on BOL.
6. Commands will document sex-related offenses on NAVPERS 1070/887 to
include: violation of Articles 120, 120a, 120b, 120c, or 125 of the Uniform
Code of Military Justice (UCMJ); or an attempt to commit any of these
offenses punishable under Article 80 of the UCMJ.
7. In the Navy, the term punitive administrative action, as delineated in
references (b) and (c), is limited to punishments imposed by court-martial or
NJP (e.g., punitive letters of reprimand). Therefore, the punitive
administrative action option in NAVPERS 1070/887 is not applicable and should
not be used.
8. No later than 2 March 2015, commanders, COs, and OICs shall submit
NAVPERS 1070/887 for any service member who was convicted at court-martial or
awarded NJP for any sex-related offense listed in paragraph 6 above since 26
December 2013. If a service member has since transferred, it is the
responsibility of the losing command to complete the NAVPERS 1070/887 for the
service member, regardless of recommendation for retention or separation from
the naval service.
9. Commands will review the OMPF of all permanently assigned and newly
transferred personnel no later than 3 April 2015 to determine if any service
member has any documented FC 91 entries. Commanders, COs, and OICs are
required to review all documents in FC 91 for all newly reporting personnel
within 30 days of checking onboard. In order to identify these documents in
a member*s record, the OMPF can be sorted by form number NAVPERS 1070/887 or
by FC 91.
10. NAVPERS 1070/887 is a fillable form and is available online at the
following website: http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/
reference/forms/Pages/default.aspx.
11. These requirements do not supersede any requirements for reporting or
processing NJP or court-martial actions as required by the MILPERSMAN,
requirements for reporting incidents of sexual assault stipulated in
references (d) through (f), or requirements to submit the Sexual Assault
Disposition Report (NAVPERS 1752/1).
12. Point of contact is LCDR Christopher Labissiere, OPNAV N17, at (703)604-
6989/DSN 664 or via e-mail at christopher.labissie@navy.mil.
13. This NAVADMIN will remain in effect until superseded or canceled,
whichever occurs first.
