RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces the implementation of a tiered multiple for
nuclear trained Sailors executing Zone B Selective Reenlistment Bonus
(SRB). Nuclear trained Sailors reenlisting in SRB Zone B who commit to
return to sea following their shore tour will, receive a higher SRB multiple
and higher contract limit.
2. Purpose. Maintaining a strong and talented cadre of Second Sea Tour
(SEA-2) Sailors is vital to maximizing the warfighting capabilities of the
nuclear fleet. This NAVADMIN creates a unique retention incentive for
qualified, career-minded, nuclear trained Sailors who commit to return to
sea.
3. Eligibility. Nuclear trained Sailors must meet all requirements listed
in references (a) and (b) for Zone B reenlistment and the following:
a. Qualified propulsion plant watch supervisor or engineering watch
supervisor (currently holding the N33Z NEC)
b. Reenlist in SRB Zone B for a period of six years during their First
Sea Tour (SEA-1); or earliest opportunity, if transferred from SEA-1 prior to
six years of service.
Forward any questions regarding reenlistment timing to Nuclear Enlisted
Programs (OPNAV N133D).
4. Incentive. These nuclear trained Sailors will be able to utilize a 10.5
multiple for purposes of calculating their SRB Zone B bonus in line with
reference (a). Additionally, the following limits apply to these SRBs
replacing those listed in reference (a): (1) $40,000 per year of additional
obligated service and (2) $160,000 per contract. All other portions of
reference (a) are applicable.
5. Execution. The maximum award level >$100,000 or $40,000/year of active
obligated service is not yet programed into Navy Standard Integrated
Personnel System (NSIPS).
Sailors seeking to take advantage of bonuses in excess of $100,000 should
submit the bonus as normal in NSIPS. Once the SRB pre-certification is
approved, contact the SRB help desk at 901-874-3215 or
mill_incen_pays.fct@navy.mil to recalculate the bonus for the correct amount.
6. Note. Executing a six year SRB Zone B and committing to a SEA-2 tour
does not preclude Sailors from re-enlisting in the enlisted supervisor
retention pay Zone 1 in line with reference (b).
7. The point of contact is the Nuclear Enlisted Community Manager, OPNAV
N133D, and can be reached at (703) 604-5491/DSN 664 or via e-mail at
bullnuke@navy.mil.
