RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces revised Selective Reenlistment
Bonus (SRB) award levels and reenlistment policy for active
component and Full-Time Support (FTS). This NAVADMIN supersedes
reference (a). Rating modernization efforts have no impact on this
program and traditional rating titles are used throughout this
NAVADMIN.
2. Increased award levels are effective immediately and decreased
levels are effective 30 days after the release of this NAVADMIN.
Policy changes to the reenlistment eligibility window listed in
paragraph 7 are effective 30 days after the release of this
NAVADMIN.
3. Reenlistment requests for the following SRB award levels will be
approved based on quota availability. SRB reenlistment requests
must be submitted to Enlisted Career Administration/Enlisted Boards
(PERS-81) via Officer Personnel Information System (OPINS) or Navy
Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) 35 to 120 days in
advance of the requested reenlistment date for the Sailor. Eligible
Sailors desiring SRB reenlistment are encouraged to work with their
chain of command as early as possible within their reenlistment
window to maximize potential for SRB. Enlisted Active Program
Incentives (PERS-813) maintains the current list of SRB eligible
ratings/skills based on available quotas at the following website:
http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-
npc/career/enlistedcareeradmin/pages/srb.aspx. Addendums to the
current award message posted on this site provide notification of
skill closures and supersede the current NAVADMIN. For those
commands with limited internet access, command career counselors
(CCC) should contact PERS-813 directly for the latest updates.

b. Notes
(1) Navy Enlisted Classification (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 the SRB provided they meet all other applicable non-
NEC related criteria.
(2) Subsurface or surface designation does not mean an
individual must be subsurface or enlisted surface warfare specialist
qualified, but it 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 and the OPINS to input a SRB precertification request, use
the rating (with appropriate suffix designation/NEC) as specified in
this NAVADMIN. For example, a surface electronics technician with
no NEC would submit 'ET(SW)' on precertification for rating.
(3) A SRB approval for all CT, IS, IT, and ITS ratings will
be contingent upon the Service Member having a current single scope
background investigation (SSBI), an active SSBI or recent submission
of a SSBI package. Commands must verify the Service Member has a
current SSBI, active SSBI, or has submitted a SSBI package and make
note of this in the comments section of the precertification
request.
(4) E-3 to E-6 personnel only.
(5) X is used as a placeholder to identify where multiple
NECs within a rating are eligible for a stated award level. Service
Members in the specified rating that hold a NEC that includes the
numbers preceding X or XX are eligible for SRB. For example, SO
539XA includes SO 5391 and SO 5392 or 14XX includes all subsurface
electronics technician navigation NECs beginning with 14.
(6) Letters appearing with a NEC are only for administrative
use.
(7) Reenlistment bonuses for nuclear trained personnel:
(a) Reenlistment compensation for zones 1 through 3
nuclear trained personnel holding a nuclear supervisor NEC shall be
provided under the Enlisted Supervisor Retention Pay (ESRP) Program
in line with policies and procedures detailed in reference (b) along
with current ESRP multiples.
(b) SRB entitlement for eligible nuclear-trained Service
Members who reenlist after applying for an officer program will be
held pending selection results. For nuclear trained personnel only,
the date on which conditional release is approved by Nuclear
Propulsion Program Manager (N133) as directed in reference (c) is
considered the date of the application to an officer program.
(8) E-4 to E-6 personnel only.
6. Reenlistment Opportunity. Sailors must reenlist within 90 days
and in the same fiscal year as their End of Active Obligated Service
(OBLISERV (EAOS)), except in the following cases:
a. Nuclear trained Sailors.
b. Sailors eligible for combat zone tax exclusion (CZTE) are
authorized to reenlist anytime within the same fiscal year as their
EAOS. These Sailors, along with CCC must annotate in the remarks
section of the precertification request whether they are currently
CZTE eligible or serving in a qualified hazardous duty area. A
condition of approval of their precertification request is that the
reenlistment of the Sailor occurs in a month during which CZTE
qualification applies.
c. Sailors who received an Early Promote in block 45 of their
most recent regular periodic evaluation 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 in their previous
pay grade. Personnel must e-mail a signed copy of the evaluation to
PERS-81 once their precertification has been submitted. This
requirement is only for those that fall under the provisions of this
paragraph.
7. SRB Submission Requirements
a. Commands are required to submit SRB reenlistment requests to
PERS-81 via OPINS or NSIPS 35 to 120 days in advance of the Sailors
requested reenlistment date. Requests submitted less than 35 days
prior to the requested reenlistment date will be rejected. However,
commands may contact PERS-81 for waiver eligibility and procedures.
Sailors must have an approved SRB request 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. Career Waypoints - Reenlistment (C-WAY-REEN): Commands are
authorized to submit SRB reenlistment requests prior to a Service
Member receiving a C-WAY-REEN quota. However, the C-WAY-REEN quota
request must be submitted. In these cases, the SRB request will not
be processed until the Service Member has received C-WAY-REEN
confirmation. SRB requests without C-WAY-REEN approval will be
rejected in OPINS to keep the command informed of potential SRB
approval issues. Once a Service Member has an approved C-WAY-REEN
quota, the command should contact PERS-81 to clear any rejections.
Failure to submit a SRB reenlistment request within the required 120
to 35 day submission window due to awaiting a C-WAY-REEN quota does
not meet eligibility requirements for a 35 day submission waiver.
c. Sailors with approved SRB requests who do not reenlist on
the date or for the term specified in the precertification message
must have their command contact PERS-81 to initiate a reenlistment
cancellation to avoid placing Sailors in an overpaid status.
d. To validate an inoperative extension of enlistment and
expedite processing of a SRB request, include the following
information in the remarks paragraph of the request: term,
narrative reason, authority, and execution date of all inoperative
extensions. Failure to verify extension 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-81
in order to minimize the potential for loss of SRB eligibility.
f. For FTS SRB reenlistment requests use one of the below
listed type codes:
(1) CODE 1RR, Immediate Reenlistment for FTS SRB.
(2) CODE 1RB, Broken Service Reenlistment for FTS SRB.
(3) CODE 1RC, OBLISERV to Train and Reenlist for FTS SRB.
8. NEC-Specific SRB and Lateral Conversions. Acceptance of a NEC-
specific SRB contract indicates an agreement between the Sailor and
the Navy to use skills attributed to the NEC during the enlistment
of the Sailor 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 reference (d), paragraph 12d.
Lateral conversion requests will normally not be processed more than
nine months before the EAOS. Conversions to a rate with a lower
award level normally will not be approved. Personnel in a closed-
loop NEC can reenlist by the NEC only.
9. OBLISERV to Train (OTT). Reference (d), paragraph 12e, provides
OTT guidance. Requests are to be submitted to PERS-81 extension
desk via e-mail. 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 request in OPINS or NSIPS.
10. Inoperative Extensions Policy. In keeping with Department of
Defense (DoD) policy, personnel who accepted an enlistment bonus for
extended enlistment (EBEE), as reflected on their Enlisted Bonus
Payment Checklist (NAVCRUIT 1133/52 (Enlistment Guarantees, New
Accession Training Program Enlistment Guarantee or Professional
Apprenticeship Career Track Program Enlistment Guarantees)), 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 Control of Conditional Short Term Extensions (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-81. Local commands are not
authorized to cancel or change extensions for the purpose of
immediate SRB reenlistments. Commands must verify and annotate on
the precertification request whether any inoperative extension time
noted is part of an EBEE contract.
11. Repayment. Repayment policy is governed by section 373 of
Title 37 of U.S. Code, Chapter 2 Volume 7A of the DoD Financial
Management Regulation (FMR), and reference (d), which collectively
determines when repayment of the unearned portion of a bonus is
required or not required but left to Secretarial discretion, or
prohibited. Section 373 of Title 37 of U.S. Code requires repayment
with certain exceptions. As a general rule, repayment of any
unearned portion of a bonus will be sought.
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. 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 servicing pay office or
personnel support detachment of the Sailor. SRB tax information is
also discussed in DoD FMR, Volume 7A, Chapter 44, table 44-1,
rule 7. The point of contact for a Sailor with questions regarding
the SRB program or any information on their on-line personnel
account is their CCC. For technical questions or clarification,
CCCs, not individual Sailors, are encouraged to contact MCPO James
Lucky, PERS-813, at (901) 874-3215/DSN 882, fax at (901) 874-
2623/DSN 882, or via e-mail at james.lucky1@navy.mil, Mr.
Francisco Palomo at (901) 874-3915/DSN 882, or via e-mail at
francisco.palomo@navy.mil, or the SRB Help Desk at
(901) 874-2526/DSN 882.
14. We will continue to assess retention behavior and adjust SRB
award levels accordingly.
15. This NAVADMIN will remain in effect until superseded or
canceled, whichever comes first.
