RMKS/1.  THIS NAVADMIN ANNOUNCES THE FY10 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 FY10 OR ENACTMENT OF A 
CONTINUING RESOLUTION AUTHORITY, LEVELS LISTED IN PARA 4 BELOW ARE 
EFFECTIVE AS OF 01 OCTOBER 2009 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 01 OCTOBER 2009 OR WHEN FY10 FUNDING IS MADE AVAILABLE, WHICHEVER 
IS LATER.

2.  THE SRB PROGRAM ENHANCES THE NAVY'S ABILITY TO SIZE, SHAPE AND 
STABILIZE THE FORCE BY USING A MONETARY INCENTIVE TO ENCOURAGE SAILORS 
WITH CRITICAL SKILLS AND VALUABLE EXPERIENCE TO STAY NAVY.  SRB IS A 
MARKET-BASED INCENTIVE AND AWARD LEVELS ARE STRATEGICALLY ADJUSTED AS 
RETENTION NEEDS DICTATE.  AS REENLISTMENT GOALS FOR PARTICULAR SKILLS 
ARE ACHIEVED, SRB LEVELS WILL BE EVALUATED FOR REDUCTION OR REMOVAL.

3.  ALL SRB SKILLS FOR FY10 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 REF B, PARA 12.A AND REF C, PARA 4 
ARE ELIGIBLE TO REENLIST EARLY ANY TIME WITHIN THE FISCAL YEAR OF THEIR EAOS.  
NUCLEAR SAILORS MAY STILL CROSS FISCAL YEAR BOUNDARIES.  SAILORS SERVING IN 
TIER TWO OR TIER THREE SKILLS WHO RECEIVED AN EARLY PROMOTE 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 PERS-811 NO 
LATER THAN 35-DAYS IN ADVANCE OF THE REQUESTED REENLISTMENT DATE.

6. EARLY REENLISTMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR "EARLY PROMOTE" 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 PAY GRADE.  PERSONNEL MUST FAX OR EMAIL A SIGNED COPY OF 
THE EVALUATION TO 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 NAVY ENLISTED CLASSIFICATION 
(NEC) SPECIFIC SRB AND LATERAL CONVERSIONS.  ACCEPTANCE OF AN 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.  AN SRB REQUEST FOR A SAILOR 
WHO REQUIRES PTS APPROVAL MUST BE SUBMITTED AFTER THE SAILOR HAS BEEN 
OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED OF PTS APPROVAL.  THE STATUS OF PTS APPROVAL MAY BE 
VIEWED THROUGH THE OFFICER PERSONNEL INFORMATION SYSTEM (OPINS) IN THE 
ESTIMATED DATE OF LOSS TO NAVY (EDLN) FIELD OF THE I31 SCREEN.

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 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.

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 BECAUSE THE APPROVED PRECERT NOTIFIES THE 
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 PREVENTED.  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 OF THE 
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 PERS-811D TO INITIATE A REENLISTMENT CANCELLATION TO 
AVOID PLACING SAILORS IN AN OVERPAID STATUS.

12.  INOPERATIVE EXTENSIONS POLICY CHANGE.  IN KEEPING WITH DOD POLICY, 
PERSONNEL WHO ACCEPTED AN ENLISTMENT BONUS FOR EXTENDED ENLISTMENT 
(EBEE), AS REFLECTED ON THEIR NAVCRUIT 1133/52, WILL NO LONGER BE 
AUTHORIZED TO USE THIS INOPERATIVE EXTENSION TIME IN THE SRB 
CALCULATION.  SAILORS WHO HAVE INOPERATIVE EXTENSION TIME THROUGH A 5YO 
OR 6YO 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 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 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 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 AN NEC 
SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED FOR LCS ASSIGNMENT (I.E., HYBRID SAILORS) ARE 
AUTHORIZED TO REENLIST FOR THE MORE LUCRATIVE SRB-ELIGIBLE NEC, 
REGARDLESS OF ASSIGNED RATING.

15.  TO ENSURE THAT ALL REQUIREMENTS AND TIMELINES ARE MET, VISIT THE 
FOLLOWING SRB PAGE OF THE NPC WEBSITE:  
WWW.NPC.NAVY.MIL/CAREERINFO/PAYANDBENEFITS/N130/N130D

16.  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 SAILOR'S SERVICING PAY OFFICE 
OR PSD.  SRB TAX INFO IS ALSO DISCUSSED IN DODFMR 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, CCCS, NOT THE INDIVIDUAL SAILORS, ARE 
ENCOURAGED TO CONTACT PERS-811D AT (901) 874-2526/DSN 882, FAX (901) 
874-2623/DSN 882 OR E-MAIL AT ETC(SW/AW) MCCANN AT 
scott.mccann@navy.mil OR MR. FRANK PALOMO AT 
francisco.palomo@navy.mil.

17.  WE WILL CONTINUE TO ASSESS RETENTION BEHAVIOR AND ADJUST SRB AWARD 
LEVELS ACCORDINGLY.
