RMKS/1. IAW REF A, STARTING 1 NOVEMBER 2010, THE OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY
OPERATIONS (OCO) SUPPORT ASSIGNMENT
(OSA) PROCESS WILL REPLACE THE GSA DETAILING PROCESS FOR ENLISTED
SAILORS. THIS NAVADMIN SUPERCEDES REFS B AND C.
2. OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS SUPPORT ASSIGNMENT (OSA) PROCESS
OVERVIEW.
A. PRIOR TO ENTERING INTO NEGOTIATIONS WITH RATING DETAILER,
SAILORS DESIRING AN
INDIVIDUAL AUGMENTATION ASSIGNMENT SHOULD SELECT THE "OSA PREFERENCE"
OPTION IN THE
SPECIAL PROGRAMS SECTION OF THEIR DUTY PREFERENCE PAGE IN CMS/ID, NINE
TO TWELVE MONTHS PRIOR TO THEIR CURRENT PROJECTED ROTATION DATE (PRD).
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT SAILORS UPDATE THEIR EMAIL AND PHONE CONTACT
INFORMATION IN CMS/ID PRIOR TO SELECTING THE OSA PREFERENCE OPTION TO
FACILITATE TIMELY CONTACT AND NEGOTIATIONS PRIOR TO THE MEMBER ENTERING
INTO THEIR NORMAL DETAILING WINDOW. PERFORM TO SERVE (PTS) SCREENING
AND APPROVAL IS A PRE-REQUISITE FOR OSA SELECTION, UNLESS THE CURRENT
EXPIRATION OF ACTIVE OBLIGATED SERVICE (EAOS)/SOFT EXPIRATION OF ACTIVE
OBLIGATED SERVICE (SEAOS) DATE IS SET BEYOND THE END OF OSA ESTIMATED
RETURN DATE PLUS THREE MONTHS. IN GENERAL, THIS MEANS THAT UNLESS YOUR
EAOS/SEAOS IS AT LEAST 15-16 MONTHS BEYOND YOUR CURRENT PRD MONTH (FOR
12-MONTH ASSIGNMENTS), YOU WILL NEED PTS APPROVAL TO ESTABLISH
ELIGIBILITY FOR AN OSA ASSIGNMENT.
B. SAILORS WILL BE CONTACTED BY NAVPERSCOM (NPC) OSA
DETAILING CELL (PERS 4013GS) AFTER THE SAILOR HAS SELECTED THE OSA
PREFERENCE OPTION IN THEIR CMS /ID SPECIAL DUTY PREFERENCE PAGE.
C. SAILORS AND THE PERS OSA DETAILING CELL WILL WORK
TOGETHER TO FIND AN OSA BILLET
FOR WHICH THE SAILOR IS A GOOD FIT. SAILORS ARE ENCOURAGED TO HAVE AN
IDEA OF THE THEATER/COUNTRY, LENGTH OF TOUR, AND TYPE OF BILLET THEY
PREFER. IF A BILLET IS NOT AGREED UPON, OR NO BILLET IS AVAILABLE, THE
SAILOR WILL COMMENCE NORMAL RATING DETAILER NEGOTIATIONS AND CMS/ID
APPLICATIONS ONCE IN THEIR NINE MONTH PRD WINDOW.
D. OSA NOMINATIONS WILL BE SUBMITTED TO UNITED STATES FLEET
FORCES (USFF) FOR FINAL APPROVAL. ONCE APPROVED, THE PERS OSA
DETAILING CELL AND THE SAILOR, ALONG WITH THE RESPECTIVE GEOGRAPHIC
BUDGET SUBMITTING OFFICE (BSO)/TYPE COMMANDER (TYCOM), WILL BE NOTIFIED
OF SELECTION. THE SELECTED SAILOR WILL BE CONSIDERED "UNDER ORDERS"
FOR PCS DETAILING PURPOSES UNTIL THEIR PRD IS ADJUSTED AND THEY ROLL
INTO THEIR NEW DETAILING WINDOW.
E. TEMPORARY ADDITIONAL DUTY (TEMADD) ORDERS SHALL BE
WRITTEN BY NPC WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF THE SAILOR'S SUCCESSFUL
ACCEPTANCE BY USFF AS AN OSA CANDIDATE. INTERMEDIATE TEMPORARY DUTY
(ITDY) ORDERS WILL BE ISSUED ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS.
F. TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO FIRST I-STOP (NMPS REPORT DATE), AND
UPON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF ALL IA/OSA PRE-SCREENINGS, PERS-40
WILL ADJUST THE SAILOR'S PRD AND APPLY AN OSA DISTRIBUTABLE NAVY
ENLISTED CLASSIFICATION (DNEC) CODE. THE NEW PRD WILL BE 60 DAYS AFTER
THE ESTIMATED RETURN FROM THE OSA TOUR. THE OSA DNEC WILL MASK THE
SAILOR FROM THEIR PARENT COMMAND'S MANNING AND THE OSA SAILOR WILL NOT
COUNT AGAINST THE COMMAND FOR MANNING PURPOSES.
G. FOLLOW-ON PCS ORDERS. WHEN OSA SAILORS ARE WITHIN NINE
MONTHS OF THEIR NEW PRD, THEY WILL BE ELIGIBLE TO NEGOTIATE ORDERS
WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE RATING DETAILER.
H. UPON COMPLETION OF THE OSA DEPLOYMENT, SAILORS WILL RETURN TO
THEIR EXISTING (PRE-OSA) PARENT COMMAND FOR APPROXIMATELY 60 DAYS PRIOR
TO DEPARTING FOR THEIR NEXT PCS ASSIGNMENT. THE 60 DAYS AT THE PARENT
COMMAND SHALL BE RESERVED FOR REINTEGRATION, POST-DEPLOYMENT SCREENINGS,
LEAVE, AND PCS MOVE PREPARATION (HHG MOVE SETUP, ADMINISTRATIVE
PROCESSES, ETC.). SAILORS SHALL THEN EXECUTE THEIR NEW PCS ORDERS, AS
WRITTEN.
3. OSA ADMINISTRATION AND PREREQUISITES.
A. OSA CANDIDATE BUSINESS RULES.
(1) OSA ELIGIBILITY. SAILORS WHO VOLUNTEER FOR AN IA
ASSIGNMENT AND ARE WITHIN NINE AND TWELVE MONTHS OF PRD.
SAILORS WITHIN NINE MONTHS OF THEIR PRD ALSO MAY APPLY FOR OSA ORDERS BY
DIRECTLY CONTACTING THEIR RATING DETAILER WHO WILL NOMINATE THEM,
PROVIDED THEIR RATING DETAILER CONCURS WITH THE ASSIGNMENT, TO THE PERS
OSA DETAILING CELL FOR AN OSA ASSIGNMENT.
(2) SAILORS WHO PREVIOUSLY COMPLETED AN IA ASSIGNMENT MAY
VOLUNTEER FOR AN OSA ASSIGNMENT.
(3) SAILORS WHO ARE TRANSFERRING FROM A NAVY "A" OR "C" SCHOOL
ASSIGNMENT AND HAVE NOT YET COMPLETED THEIR FIRST PCS TOUR ARE NOT
ELIGIBLE FOR AN OSA ASSIGNMENT.
(4) RANK. OSA CANDIDATES MUST BE ONE UP/ONE DOWN FROM THE
STATED REQUIREMENT, UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED IN THE REQUIREMENT. OSA
CANDIDATES MUST BE E-3 OR ABOVE AT THE TIME OF ADMINISTRATIVE SCREENING
TO BE ACCEPTED FOR OSA ASSIGNMENTS WITH THE FOLLOWING EXCEPTIONS: (1)
OSA CANDIDATES MUST BE E-4 OR ABOVE FOR ASSIGNMENT TO DETAINEE
OPERATIONS MISSIONS; AND (2) HOSPITAL APPRENTICE (HA/E-2) SAILORS MAY
SERVE IN HEALTH SERVICE AUGMENTATION PROGRAM (HSAP) BILLETS DUE TO THEIR
SPECIALIZED TRAINING AND MEDICAL SKILLS. ADDITIONAL EXCEPTIONS MAY BE
EVALUATED ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS.
(5) LOW SUPPLY/HIGH DEMAND (LS/HD). PERSONNEL LS/HD SKILL SETS
MAY NOT BE USED TO FILL A REQUIREMENT OUTSIDE THEIR SKILL SET AND SHALL
NOT BE ASSIGNED TO AN "ANY RATING OR ANY PETTY OFFICER" OSA BILLET
ASSIGNMENT. USFF N1 WILL MANAGE AND TASK LS/HD COMMUNITIES.
(6) SECURITY CLEARANCE. AT THE TIME OF THE OSA REQUEST,
CANDIDATES MUST POSSESS THE REQUIRED SECURITY CLEARANCE, OR HAVE INTERIM
CLEARANCE GRANTED AND THE APPROPRIATE INVESTIGATION INITIATED.
CLEARANCE STATUS, INCLUDING INTERIM CLEARANCE STATUS, MUST BE REFLECTED
IN JPAS.
(7) NEC. IF A NEC IS SPECIFICALLY STATED IN THE REQUIREMENT, THE
OSA CANDIDATE MUST CURRENTLY HOLD THE APPROPRIATE NEC. USFF N1 HOLDS
WAIVER AUTHORITY.
(8) PRD. THE START OF THE OSA ORDERS MUST CONFORM TO CURRENT
DETAILING RULES (I.E., PRD MUST BE WITHIN THREE (3) MONTHS OF START OF
OSA).
(9) EAOS.
(A) SAILORS MUST HAVE SUFFICIENT TIME REMAINING ON CURRENT
ENLISTMENT TO COMPLETE THE OSA TOUR. IF A SAILOR HAS BEEN SELECTED FOR
AN OSA, BUT DOES NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT EAOS TIME TO COMPLETE THE OSA
DEPLOYMENT, THEY ARE REQUIRED TO BE PTS SCREENED AND APPROVED, AS
APPROPRIATE. THE SAILOR, THROUGH THE PARENT COMMAND AND LOCAL PSD, MUST
COMPLETE THE OBLISERV REQUIREMENT OF A MINIMUM OF 90 DAYS (MAXIMUM OF
120 DAYS FOR EXTENSIONS OF ENLISTMENT) AFTER THE ESTIMATED RETURN FROM
THE OSA TOUR. THIS SHOULD BE COMPLETED WITHIN 30 DAYS OF TEMADD/ITDY
ORDERS DTG AND IS INCLUDED AS PART OF THE EXPEDITIONARY SCREENING
CHECKLIST.
(B) ALTHOUGH REENLISTMENT IS DESIRED, IF THE SAILOR IS
ELIGIBLE IN ALL RESPECTS, RECEIPT OF TEMADD/ITDY ORDERS SERVES AS
SUFFICIENT DOCUMENTATION FOR OSA ASSIGNMENT AND ALLOWS OVERMANNED RATING
ZONES TO EXTEND IN ORDER TO MEET OBLISERV WITHOUT PERS-811
AUTHORIZATION.
THIS MESSAGE ALSO PROVIDES EARLY REENLISTMENT WINDOW FOR NON-SRB SAILORS
TO MEET OBLISERV. ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS, AFTER RECEIPT OF TEMADD/ITDY
ORDERS, PERS-811 WILL ENTERTAIN EXCEPTIONS TO EXTENSION POLICIES FOR
RATINGS/NECS LISTED IN THE LATEST SRB NAVADMIN THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF THE
SRB REENLISTMENT WINDOW.
(10) PERFORM TO SERVE (PTS). SAILORS MUST BE PTS SCREENED AND
APPROVED, AS APPROPRIATE, TO BE SELECTED FOR AN OSA DEPLOYMENT, UNLESS
THE CURRENT EAOS/SEAOS DATE IS SET BEYOND THE END OF OSA ESTIMATED
RETURN DATE PLUS THREE MONTHS. IN GENERAL, THIS MEANS THAT UNLESS YOUR
EAOS/SEAOS IS AT LEAST 15-16 MONTHS BEYOND YOUR CURRENT PRD MONTH (FOR
12-MONTH ASSIGNMENTS), YOU WILL NEED PTS APPROVAL TO ESTABLISH
ELIGIBILITY FOR AN OSA DEPLOYMENT. DUE TO THE TIMING OF SELECTION FOR
AN OSA DEPLOYMENT, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT SAILORS SUBMIT A PTS
APPLICATION NO LATER THAN 13 MONTHS PRIOR TO PRD. THIS IS TO ENSURE
THEY ARE IN THE PTS SYSTEM AND HAVE BEEN APPROPRIATELY SCREENED PRIOR TO
APPLYING FOR AN OSA DEPLOYMENT.
(11) OVERSEAS TOUR EXTENSION INCENTIVES PROGRAM (OTEIP). A
SAILOR THAT IS ELECTING TO EXECUTE AN OSA DEPLOYMENT FROM AN OCONUS
LOCATION IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE OTEIP, AS REFERENCED IN REF H, DUE TO
EXTENDED TAD STATUS.
(12) STATUS-OF-FORCES AGREEMENT (SOFA).
(A) A SOFA WITH A FOREIGN NATION PROTECTS SAILORS AND THEIR
DEPENDENTS WHILE STATIONED OCONUS. PROVIDED THAT THE OVERSEAS COMMANDER
AGREES TO HOST DEPENDENTS WHILE THE SAILOR IS ON IA, SOFA POLICIES
GENERALLY SHOULD NOT REQUIRE FAMILIES TO LEAVE THE FOREIGN COUNTRY IN
WHICH THEY ARE CURRENTLY SERVING.
(B) IF A SAILOR ASSIGNED TO AN OVERSEAS COMMAND WOULD LIKE
TO VOLUNTEER FOR OSA, PRIOR TO SELECTING AN OSA ON THEIR PREFERENCE PAGE
ON CMS/ID, THEY MUST FIRST INQUIRE, VIA THEIR CURRENT CHAIN-OF-COMMAND,
IF THAT PARTICULAR COMMAND/COMMANDER CAN HOST THE DEPENDENTS WHILE THE
MEMBER IS TAD ON AN OSA ASSIGNMENT, IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL SOFA RULES.
IF THE COMMAND CANNOT HOST THE DEPENDENTS DUE TO SOFA, THE SAILOR CAN
STILL APPLY WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY MUST QUALIFY FOR A
DESIGNATED-PLACE MOVE VIA ITDY ORDERS FOR THEIR DEPENDENTS AND MUST
INFORM THE PERS OSA DETAILING CELL OF THE SITUATION AND THE FAMILY'S
INTENTIONS DURING THE NEGOTIATION PHASE.
(C) IF A SAILOR IS REQUIRED TO MOVE HIS/HER FAMILY BACK TO A
CONUS LOCATION DURING THE OSA DEPLOYMENT, OR IF THE PARTICULAR HOST
NATION SOFA RULES ARE SO RESTRICTIVE AS TO NOT ALLOW A MEMBER TO KEEP
DEPENDENTS IN THE PRESENT LOCATION WHILE TAD ON AN OSA DEPLOYMENT, THEN
SAILORS MAY QUALIFY FOR A DESIGNATED-PLACE MOVE VIA ITDY ORDERS.
CONTACT PERS 4G FOR MORE INFORMATION USING THE IAHHG@NAVY.MIL EMAIL
ADDRESS FOR SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.
(D) RETURN OF DEPENDENTS FROM A DESIGNATED-PLACE MOVE BACK
TO THE OCONUS PDS IS LIMITED TO CASES WHERE THE MEMBER HAS 12 MONTHS OR
MORE REMAINING AT THE OLD PDS AFTER THE ARRIVAL OF DEPENDENTS OR
HOUSEHOLD GOODS, WHICHEVER IS LATER, AND DOES NOT HAVE FOLLOW ON PCS
ORDERS.
(13) HIGH YEAR TENURE (HYT).
(A) SAILORS DETERMINED TO BE HYT MAY VOLUNTEER FOR OSA
ORDERS PROVIDED THE ESTIMATED RETURN FROM DEPLOYMENT ALLOWS FOR A
MINIMUM OF FOUR MONTHS TRANSITION BETWEEN RETURN AND THE MANDATORY
SEPARATION DATE.
(B) REQUESTS TO WAIVE MINIMUM TRANSITION TIME WILL BE
EVALUATED ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS.
(C) SAILORS ALREADY IN POSSESSION OF OSA ORDERS, WHO ARE
SUBSEQUENTLY DEEMED TO BE HYT, WILL BE EVALUATED ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS
BY USFF AND NPC.
(14) RETIREMENT.
(A) SAILORS WHO HAVE SUBMITTED AND BEEN APPROVED FOR
RETIREMENT MAY NOT VOLUNTEER FOR OSA ORDERS UNLESS THE ESTIMATED RETURN
FROM DEPLOYMENT ALLOWS FOR A MINIMUM OF FIVE MONTHS TRANSITION BETWEEN
RETURN AND RETIREMENT DATE.
(B) REQUESTS TO WAIVE MINIMUM TRANSITION TIME WILL BE
EVALUATED ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS.
(15) AUXILIARY. NO "AUXILIARIES" WILL BE IDENTIFIED FOR OSA
BILLETS. IF A SELECTEE FALLS OUT GREATER THAN 150 DAYS BEFORE FIRST I-
STOP, PERS WILL ATTEMPT TO REPLACE THE UNPLANNED LOSS. IF FALLOUT
OCCURS AT 150 DAYS OR LESS BEFORE THE FIRST I-STOP, PERS SHALL PASS TO
USFF FOR IAMM SOURCING. OSA CANDIDATES CANNOT BE IDENTIFIED AS EMBEDDED
ALTERNATES, BUT THEY CAN BE USED TO FILL A BILLET IF A PRIMARY CANDIDATE
FALLS OUT, PROVIDED THE RATING DETAILER AGREES.
B. OSA ORDERS.
(1) TYPE OF ORDERS. ONCE APPROVED FOR AN OSA BILLET, SAILORS
RECEIVE TEMADD OR ITDY ORDERS ISSUED BY PERS-4G3. THE ORDERS WILL BE
FROM THE SAILOR'S CURRENT PARENT COMMAND FOR THE DURATION OF THE OSA
DEPLOYMENT.
(2) PRD. AN OSA SAILOR'S PRD WILL BE ADJUSTED APPROXIMATELY TWO
WEEKS PRIOR TO FIRST I-STOP (NMPS DATE) OF OSA ORDERS. THE OSA SAILOR'S
PRD WILL BE ADJUSTED TO THE ESTIMATED RETURN DATE PLUS 60 DAYS. SAILORS
WILL RETURN TO THEIR PARENT COMMAND UPON COMPLETION OF OSA DEPLOYMENT
FOR THIS 60-DAY PERIOD.
(3) OSA DNEC CODE. NPC WILL ASSIGN AN OSA DNEC CODE TO OSA
SAILORS APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THE FIRST I-STOP OF OSA ORDERS.
THIS OSA DNEC WILL PLACE THE SAILOR IN A SEPARATE DISTRIBUTION CATEGORY,
ENSURING THE PARENT COMMAND MANNING/READINESS LEVELS ARE UNAFFECTED BY
THE SAILOR'S OSA ASSIGNMENT. IT ALSO ALLOWS A NORMAL RELIEF REQUISITION
TO BE GENERATED FOR FILL AT THE SAILOR'S ORIGINALPRD. STANDARD
ASSIGNMENT, DETAILING, REQUISITION PRIORITY AND PROCEDURES REMAIN IN
EFFECT FOR BILLETS VACATED BY SAILORS SELECTING AN OSA ASSIGNMENT.
(4) OSA ORDERS. SAILORS CAN VIEW TEMADD/ITDY ORDERS ON
BUPERS ONLINE (BOL):
(A) LOG ONTO BUPERS ONLINE AT HTTPS://BOL.NAVY.MIL/;
(B) SELECT THE "NMCMPS" LINK OR "VIEW IA ORDERS" LINK;
(C) CLICK "VIEW MY ORDERS" IN UPPER MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN.
(5) OSA PARENT COMMAND. THE OSA SAILOR WILL ADMINISTRATIVELY
REMAIN WITH THEIR CURRENT PARENT COMMAND THROUGHOUT THE DURATION OF THE
OSA ASSIGNMENT. PARENT COMMANDS RETAIN ALL COMMAND IA COORDINATOR
(CIAC) RESPONSIBILITIES PRIOR TO, DURING, AND AFTER THE SAILOR'S OSA
ASSIGNMENT.
PARENT COMMAND WILL CONDUCT A PROPER HAND-OFF OF CIAC DUTIES WHEN SAILOR
PERMANENTLY DETACHES TO ENSURE POST-DEPLOYMENT CHECKLISTS ARE COMPLETED.
(6) OSA PRE-SCREENING REQUIREMENTS. ALL OSA SAILORS
REQUIRE MEDICAL, DENTAL AND PERSONNEL SUITABILITY SCREENING PER
THE EXPEDITIONARY SCREENING CHECKLIST POSTED ON HTTP://WWW.IA.NAVY.MIL
WITHIN 30 DAYS OF TEMADD/ITDY ORDERS DTG. DEPENDENT SCREENING IS NOT
REQUIRED. WHEN SERVICE MEMBER SCREENING IS COMPLETE, COMMAND
REPRESENTATIVES (WITH COMMAND CAREER COUNSELOR OR ABOVE ACCESS), SHOULD
ENTER RESULTS ON BOL USING THE "IA ASSIGNMENT" BUTTON. COMMANDS FAILING
TO COMPLETE SCREENING WITHIN THE 30 DAYS OF TEMADD/ITDY ORDERS DATE TIME
GROUP
(DTG) WILL RECEIVE A USFF DELINQUENT REPORT OF SUITABILITY FOR OSA
SCREENING MESSAGE. PARENT COMMANDS MUST IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY USFF (VIA
BSO/TYCOM) AND ANNOTATE THE OVERSEAS/IA SCREENING APPLICATION ON BOL IF
AN OSA SAILOR IS DETERMINED "UNSUITABLE" PER STANDARDS AS SET FORTH IN
THE EXPEDITIONARY SCREENING CHECKLIST.
C. CHANGES TO OSA ORDERS. ONCE AN INDIVIDUAL RECEIVES OSA ORDERS,
CERTAIN SCENARIOS MAY REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THOSE ORDERS. THE
FOLLOWING WILL
APPLY:
(1) TRAINING TRACK CHANGES. OSA ORDERS MAY ADJUST DUE TO
NECESSARY CHANGES IN TRAINING TRACKS TO SUPPORT MISSION REQUIREMENTS.
(A) USFF MAY MODIFY (CHANGE THE START DATE) OSA ORDERS BY
ORDERS MODIFIED (ORDMOD) TO DEPART UP TO 30 DAYS PRIOR TO OR 90 DAYS
LATER THAN THE ORIGINAL FIRST I-STOP DATE DUE TO CHANGES IN MISSION OR
TRAINING REQUIREMENTS. USFF WILL INFORM BSO /TYCOM/PERS OSA CELL OF
ORDERS CHANGES, AND WILL INFORM THE OSA SAILOR VIA THEIR CHAIN OF
COMMAND. IF ESTIMATED DATE OF RETURN SHIFTS LATER BY MORE THAN 30 DAYS,
THEN PERS OSA DETAILING CELL WILL BE INFORMED BY USFF TO ADJUST THE PRD
ACCORDINGLY.
(B) IF SHIFT WILL BE GREATER THAN STATED ABOVE, THE SAILOR
WILL BE GIVEN AN OPTION TO ACCEPT THE NEW TIMELINE OR REQUEST NEW OSA
ORDERS. USFF WILL WORK WITH THE BSO/TYCOM/PERS OSA CELL TO FIND A NEW
BILLET. WHEN POSSIBLE, USFF WILL PROVIDE UP TO THREE ALTERNATIVE IA
BILLETS AS OPTIONS FOR THE PERS OSA CELL TO DISCUSS WITH THE SAILOR. IF
THE SAILOR DOES NOT ACCEPT ONE OF THE NEWLY PROPOSED BILLETS ORNO LONGER
DESIRES TO GO ON AN OSA DEPLOYMENT, THE OSA CELL WILL INFORM USFF AND
THE SAILOR'S RATING DETAILER AND THE SAILOR WILL BE DETAILED TO A NEW
PCS ASSIGNMENT.
(2) MISSION CANCELLATION. IF AN OSA BILLET IS CANCELLED, THE
SAILOR WILL HAVE THE OPTION TO BE ASSIGNED TO ANOTHER OSA BILLET,
PROVIDED ONE IS AVAILABLE WITHIN RANK AND SKILL-SET MATCH. USFF
WILLWORK WITH THE BSO/TYCOM/PERS OSA CELL TO IDENTIFY A NEW BILLET
ASSIGNMENT.
WHEN POSSIBLE, USFF WILL PROVIDE UP TO THREE ALTERNATIVE IA BILLETS AS
OPTIONS FOR THE PERS OSA CELL TO DISCUSS WITH THE SAILOR. IF THE SAILOR
DOES NOT ACCEPT ONE OF THE NEWLY PROPOSED BILLETS OR NO LONGER DESIRES
TO GO ON AN OSA DEPLOYMENT, THE PERS OSA CELL WILL INFORM USFF AND THE
SAILOR'S RATING DETAILER, AND THE MEMBER WILL BE DETAILED TO A NEW PCS
ASSIGNMENT. IF A MEMBER HAS INITIATED AN OBLISERVE EXTENSION THROUGH
THEIR RESPECTIVE PERSONNEL OFFICE AND DOES NOT GO FORWARD ON THE OSA DUE
TO A MISSION CANCELLATION, IT IS INCUMBENT ON THE PARENT COMMAND TO
CANCEL THE OBLISERVE VIA THEIR RESPECTIVE PERSONNEL OFFICE.
(3) OSA FALLOUTS. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OSA SAILOR
AND PARENT COMMAND TO NOTIFY USFF (VIA BSO/TYCOM/PERS OSA CELL)
IMMEDIATELY SHOULD AN OSA SAILOR FALLOUT FOR ANY REASON (FAILURE OF
EXPEDITIONARY SCREENING CHECKLIST, MEDICAL, EXTREME FAMILY HARDSHIP,
ETC.).
SHOULD AN OSA SAILOR FALL OUT, USFF WILL INFORM THE PERS OSA DETAILING
CELL TO NOTIFY THE SAILOR'S RATING DETAILER AND THE SAILOR WILL BE
DETAILED TO A NEW PCS ASSIGNMENT. IF A MEMBER HAS INITIATED AN
OBLISERVE EXTENSION THROUGH THEIR RESPECTIVE PERSONNEL OFFICE AND DOES
NOT GO FORWARD ON THE OSA DUE TO A FALLOUT, IT IS INCUMBENTON THE PARENT
COMMAND TO CANCEL THE OBLISERVE VIA THEIR RESPECTIVE PERSONNEL OFFICE.
(4) EXTENSIONS IN THEATER.
(A) OSA SAILORS MAY REQUEST AN EXTENSION IN THEATER PROVIDED
THAT: (1) THE EXTENSION REQUEST IS APPROVED BY THEIR CHAIN OF COMMAND IN
THEATER;
(2) THEIR RATING DETAILER
CONCURS; (3) THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT ALREADY ACCEPTED BY USFF FOR THE
NEXT ROTATION; AND (4) THERE ARE NO PTS/HYT CONFLICTS.
(B) SAILORS ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT AN ENLISTED PERSONNEL
ACTION REQUEST (NAVPERS 1306/7) TO THEIR RESPECTIVE RATING DETAILER.
(C) ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS/REQUIREMENTS MAY BE APPLICABLE
BASED ON LOCATION/AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY OF OSA ASSIGNMENT AND/OR TYPE
OF DUTY /MISSION.
(5) BACK-TO-BACK OSA.
(A) OSA SAILORS MAY APPLY FOR BACK-TO-BACK OSA DEPLOYMENTS
USING THE STANDARD OSA PROCESS.
(B) CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS/REQUIREMENTS MAY BE APPLICABLE
BASED ON LOCATION/AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY OF OSA DEPLOYMENT AND/OR TYPE
OF DUTY /MISSION.
4. OSA SAILOR BENEFITS.
A. ANY SAILOR WHO HAS COMPLETED AN OSA OR GSA DEPLOYMENT SHALL BE
EXCLUDED FROM SELECTION FOR IA ASSIGNMENT FOR THREE (3) YEARS AFTER
COMPLETION OF IA DEPLOYMENT. LS/HD RATINGS THAT DO NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT
INVENTORY TO SUPPORT A THREE-YEAR EXCLUSION WILL BE HANDLED ON A CASE-
BY-CASE BASIS.
B. SAILORS MAY QUALIFY FOR A DESIGNATED PLACE MOVE VIA ITDY ORDERS
ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. CONTACT PERS-4G FOR MORE INFORMATION ON
QUALIFICATIONS OR USE THE IAHHG@NAVY.MIL EMAIL ADDRESS FOR SPECIFIC
QUESTIONS.
C. SAILORS WHO VOLUNTEER FOR AN OSA ASSIGNMENT WILL HAVE
POST-OSA CHOICE OF COAST DETAILING FOR THEIR FOLLOW-ON PCS ORDERS
NEGOTIATION. IF THE SAILOR IS TAKING A SEA DUTY BILLET FOLLOWING THEIR
OSA DEPLOYMENT, THE RATING DETAILER WILL STRIVE TO DETAIL MEMBERS TO
UNITS NOT DEPLOYING IMMEDIATELY WHENEVER POSSIBLE, WITH RESPECT TO THE
MEMBER'S DESIRES FOR BILLET AND LOCATION.
D. DWELL/ITEMPO.
(1) EXECUTION OF OSA ORDERS. SAILORS WHO OPT FOR OSA DEPLOYMENT
WILL BE CONSIDERED VOLUNTEERS FOR THOSE ORDERS, AND WILL AUTOMATICALLY
BE WAIVED FOR DWELL/ITEMPO REQUIREMENTS CONTAINED IN OPNAVINST 3000.13C.
(2) POST OSA DEPLOYMENTS. SAILORS WHO HAVE FOLLOW-ON SEA DUTY
ORDERS SUBSEQUENT TO AN OSA DEPLOYMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED VOLUNTEERS FOR
THOSE ORDERS AND WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE WAIVED FOR DWELL/ITEMPO
REQUIREMENTS CONTAINED IN OPNAVINST 3000.13C.
E. OSA DEPLOYMENTS WILL BE CONSIDERED A VOLUNTARY CONTINUATION OF
CURRENT TYPE DUTY AND FOLLOW-ON TOURS WILL BE SET BASED ON NORMAL
SEA/SHORE TOUR LENGTHS.
5. WHILE EVERY EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO EXECUTE OSA, GSA AND IAMM
BUSINESS RULES AS PUBLISHED IN NAVADMINS, THERE WILL BE CIRCUMSTANCES
WHICH CANNOT BE ANTICIPATED. THE NAVY IS COMMITTED TO FINDING THE BEST
BALANCE BETWEEN THE IA MISSION, NEEDS/DESIRES OF THE SAILOR, AND COMMAND
READINESS. UNANTICIPATED DEMANDS MAY REQUIRE TAILORED SOLUTIONS NOT
COVERED IN CURRENT BUSINESS RULES.
6. YOUR EFFORTS REMAIN CRITICAL TO ENSURING NAVY PROVIDES THE RIGHT
SAILOR WITH THE RIGHT SKILLS AT THE RIGHT TIME TO MEET OUR NATION'S OCO
REQUIREMENTS. I AM PROUD OF THE WORK BEING DONE BY OUR IA SAILORS AND
THANK EACH OF YOU FOR THE SUPPORT YOU CONTINUE TO GIVE THIS EFFORT EVERY
DAY.
