4. ESTABLISHMENT OF ITS RATING: ALL ITS DESIGNATED SAILORS ARE NO LONGER
ELIGIBLE TO REQUEST SRB UNDER ORIGINAL SOURCE RATING AND MUST MEET CRITERIA
LISTED IN PARA 3.
5. NOTES
A. THE SRB FOR THIS RATING NAVY ENLISTED CLASSIFICATION
(NEC) IS TIED TO AN INCUMBENT BILLET OR TO ORDERS NEGOTIATED FOR THE NEXT
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.
B. AN SRB APPROVAL FOR ALL CT, 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 PRECERT REQUEST.
C. NUCLEAR NECS 3359 AND 3389 ARE INACTIVE NECS. MEMBERS HOLDING THESE
NECS MAY REENLIST AT THE AWARD LEVEL SPECIFIED FOR THE LAST ACTIVE NEC HELD
WITH ECM APPROVAL. REENLISTMENT COMPENSATION FOR ZONE C 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 REFS E AND F.
D. LETTERS APPEARING WITH AN NEC ARE FOR ADMINISTRATIVE USE ONLY.
E. 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.
F. SUBSURFACE NECS. SUBSURFACE ELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN 14XXA IDENTIFIES
ALL SUBSURFACE ELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN COMMUNICATIONS SAILORS WHO HOLD NECS
BEGINNING WITH 14. SUBSURFACE ELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN NAVIGATION 14XXB
IDENTIFIES SUBSURFACE ELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN NAVIGATION SAILORS AND INCLUDES
ALL SUBSURFACE ELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN NAVIGATION NECS BEGINNING WITH 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 SRB PROVIDED THEY MEET ALL OTHER APPLICABLE NON-NEC
RELATED CRITERIA.
6. EARLY REENLISTMENT OPPORTUNITY: 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.
ADDITIONALLY, 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 E-MAIL 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. SRB PRECERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS:
A. PERFORM-TO-SERVE (PTS): COMMANDS ARE AUTHORIZED TO SUBMIT SRB
REENLISTMENT REQUESTS PRIOR TO A MEMBER RECEIVING A PTS QUOTA; HOWEVER, THE
PTS QUOTA REQUEST MUST HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED AND THE SRB REQUEST WILL NOT BE
PROCESSED UNTIL THE MEMBER HAS RECEIVED PTS CONFIRMATION. SRB REQUESTS
WITHOUT PTS APPROVAL WILL STILL BE REJECTED IN THE OFFICER PERSONNEL
INFORMATION SYSTEM (OPINS) TO KEEP THE COMMAND INFORMED OF POTENTIAL SRB
APPROVAL ISSUES. ONCE A MEMBER HAS AN APPROVED PTS QUOTA, THE COMMAND SHOULD
CONTACT PERS-811 TO CLEAR ANY REJECTIONS.
B. COMMANDS ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT SRB REENLISTMENT REQUESTS TO PERS-811
VIA OPINS 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-811 FOR WAIVER ELIGIBILITY AND PROCEDURES. 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.
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-811) TO INITIATE A REENLISTMENT CANCELLATION TO AVOID PLACING
SAILORS IN AN OVERPAID STATUS.
D. TO VALIDATE AN INOPERATIVE EXTENSION OF ENLISTMENT AND QQQQ 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.
E. SAILORS MUST OBTAIN AN APPROVAL FOR EXTENSION FROM NAVPERSCOM (PERS-
811) IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE THE POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF SRB ELIGIBILITY.
8. 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 SAILORS 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.
9. 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 INSTRUCTION. USE CODE 1CC
(1RC FOR FTS) FOR OTT SRB REQUESTS IN OPINS.
10. 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 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 NAVPERSCOM (PERS-811). LOCAL COMMANDS ARE NOT
AUTHORIZED TO CANCEL OR CHANGE 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.
11. 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.
12. 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/PAYANDBENEFITS/N130/PAGES/N130D.ASPX
13. WE WILL CONTINUE TO ASSESS RETENTION BEHAVIOR AND ADJUST SRB AWARD LEVELS
ACCORDINGLY.
14. 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 SAILORS SERVICING PAY OFFICE OR PERSONNEL SUPPORT
DETACHMENT. SRB TAX INFORMATION IS ALSO DISCUSSED IN DOD FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
REGULATION VOL 7A, CH 44, TABLE 44-1, RULE 7. THE POINT OF CONTACT FOR A
SAILOR WITH QUESTIONS REGARDING THE SRB PROGRAM OR ANY INFORMATION ON THEIR
BUPERS ON-LINE ACCOUNT IS THEIR COMMAND CAREER COUNSELOR (CCC). FOR TECHNICAL
QUESTIONS OR CLARIFICATIONS, CCC'S, NOT THE INDIVIDUAL SAILORS, ARE ENCOURAGED
TO CONTACT NAVPERSCOM (PERS-811) AT (901) 874-2526/DSN 882, FAX (901) 874-
2623/DSN 882 OR E-MAIL EMCM(SS) IRISH AT douglas.b.irish@navy.mil, MR.
