2. POLICY UPDATES CONTAINED IN THIS NAVADMIN PROVIDE GUIDANCE REGARDING
UPCOMING CHANGES TO THE SRB ANNIVERSARY PAYMENT POLICY IN ADVANCE OF A PENDING
UPDATE TO REF C. SPECIFICALLY, ALL SAILORS REENLISTING AND RECEIVING THEIR
INITIAL SRB PAYMENT ON OR AFTER 1 OCTOBER 2012 WILL RECEIVE ANNUAL SRB
INSTALLMENTS DURING THE ANNIVERSARY MONTH OF THEIR REENLISTMENT DATE (E.G.,
SAILORS REENLISTING IN DECEMBER 2012, WILL RECEIVE THEIR INITIAL SRB PAYMENT
UPON REENLISTMENT, THEIR NEXT ANNUAL INSTALLMENT IN DECEMBER 2013, AND ALL
SUBSEQUENT INSTALLMENTS ANNUALLY IN DECEMBER UNTIL THE FULL CONTRACTED
DISBURSEMENT HAS BEEN REACHED). SAILORS UNDER CURRENT SRB CONTRACTS, AS WELL
AS THOSE REENLISTING PRIOR TO 1 OCTOBER 2012, WILL BE GRANDFATHERED UNDER THE
SRB ANNIVERSARY PAYMENT POLICY STATED IN PARA 13 OF REF C, AND CONTINUE TO
RECEIVE ANNIVERSARY PAYMENTS ANNUALLY IN OCTOBER UNTIL THE FULL CONTRACTED
DISBURSEMENT HAS BEEN REACHED.
3. THIS MESSAGE TEMPORARILY LIFTS THE RESTRICTION PREVENTING MEMBERS WITH
FY13 EXPIRATION OF ACTIVE OBLIGATED SERVICE (EAOS) DATES FROM REENLISTING FOR
SRB IN FY12. ACCORDINGLY, ALL FY13 EAOS SAILORS (REGARDLESS OF SRB TIER) ARE
ENCOURAGED TO APPLY FOR SRB AND REENLIST ON OR BEFORE 30 SEPTMBER 2012. FY13
EAOS SAILORS ELECTING TO REENLIST IN FY12 ARE AUTHORIZED TO SUBMIT SRB
REQUESTS WITHOUT REGARD TO THE 35-DAY PRECERTIFICATION REQUIREMENT OUTLINED IN
PARA 8 BELOW, BUT MUST BE OTHERWISE ELIGIBLE FOR SRB IAW REF C AND HAVE A
VALID PTS QUOTA PRIOR TO THEIR SELECTED REENLISTMENT DATE. STANDARD EARLY

RECEIVE APPROVAL TO REENLIST FOR SRB BEFORE
1 OCTOBER 2012.
4. CONTINUING WITH THE POLICY INITIATED BY REF B, REENLISTMENT REQUESTS FOR
THE FOLLOWING SRB AWARD LEVELS WILL BE APPROVED BASED ON QUOTA AVAILABILITY.

6. 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. MEMBERS HOLDING INACTIVE NUCLEAR NECS 3359 AND 3389 MAY REENLIST AT
THE AWARD LEVEL SPECIFIED FOR THE LAST ACTIVE NEC HELD WITH PRIOR ECM APPROVAL
VIA E-MAIL AT nxag_n133d2@navy.mil OR AT (703) 604-5491/DSN 664.
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 REF D.
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.
7. 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 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 PERS-811 ONCE
THEIR PRECERT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED.
THIS REQUIREMENT IS ONLY FOR THOSE THAT FALL UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
PARAGRAPH.
8. 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 BE REJECTED IN 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
PERS-811 TO INITIATE A REENLISTMENT CANCELLATION TO AVOID OVERPAYMENT.
D. 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.
E. SAILORS MUST OBTAIN AN APPROVAL FOR EXTENSION FROM PERS-811 IN ORDER
TO MINIMIZE THE POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF SRB ELIGIBILITY.
9. THE FOLLOWING GUIDANCE IS PROVIDED ON 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.
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. 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
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 EBEE CONTRACT.
12. RECOUPMENT. THE FOLLOWING IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LATEST OSD
GUIDELINES ESTABLISHED IN REF E AND PROVIDES ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE ON RECOUPMENT
POLICY NOT SPECIFICALLY COVERED IN PARA 18 OF REF C. AN INDIVIDUAL WHO IS
PAID: A BONUS; SPECIAL OR INCENTIVE PAY; AND THE RECEIPT IS CONTINGENT UPON
THE INDIVIDUAL FULFILLING SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF ELIGIBILITY, SERVICE, OR
ASSIGNMENT, SHALL REPAY THE UNITED STATES QQQQ ANY UNEARNED PORTION OF THE
BONUS, OR SPECIAL OR INCENTIVE PAY IF THE INDIVIDUAL FAILS TO FULFILL THE
CONDITIONS OF ELIGIBILITY, SERVICE, OR ASSIGNMENT AND MAY NOT RECEIVE ANY
UNPAID AMOUNT OF THE BONUS OR SPECIAL OR INCENTIVE PAY AFTER FAILING TO
FULFILL SUCH SPECIFIED CONDITIONS.
SITUATIONS REQUIRING REPAYMENT INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:
A. AN APPROVED REQUEST FOR VOLUNTARY RELEASE FROM THE WRITTEN AGREEMENT
SPECIFYING THE CONDITIONS FOR RECEIPT OF THE BONUS OR VOLUNTARY SEPARATION
FROM THE NAVAL SERVICE;
B. AN APPROVED VOLUNTARY REQUEST FOR RELIEF FROM A QUALIFYING ASSIGNMENT;
C. FAILURE TO EXECUTE ORDERS TO A BILLET COMMENSURATE WITH THE
INDIVIDUAL'S SPECIALTY OR SKILL, GRADE, OR CAREER PROGRESSION;
D. DISABILITY OR PHYSICAL DISQUALIFICATION RESULTING FROM MISCONDUCT,
WILLFUL NEGLECT, OR INCURRED DURING A PERIOD OF UNAUTHORIZED ABSENCE;
E. SEPARATION OR REASSIGNMENT RESULTING FROM A MEDICAL CONDITION NOT
AMOUNTING TO A DISABILITY (AS DEFINED IN MILPERSMAN 1910-120);
F. SEPARATION FOR CAUSE, INCLUDING MISCONDUCT;
G. AN APPROVED DETACHMENT FOR CAUSE; AND
H. SEPARATION BY REASON OF WEIGHT CONTROL AND/OR PHYSICAL READINESS TEST
FAILURE.
13. 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.

THEIR SRB PAYMENT, OR HAS QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE TAXATION OF THEIR SRB AND
ANNUAL INSTALLMENTS, IS THE SAILOR'S SERVICING PAY OFFICE OR PERSONNEL SUPPORT

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, THE CCC, NOT THE INDIVIDUAL SAILOR, IS
ENCOURAGED TO CONTACT PERS-811 AT (901) 874-2526/DSN 882, VIA FAX AT (901)
