Hey all, does anyone have any insight if NAVADMIN 142/22 has any effect on the MED board process? Copy and pasted for ease of reading below.
NARR/REF A IS MILPERSMAN 1300-500, REASSIGNMENT FOR HUMANITARIAN REASONS
(HUMS).
REF B IS 1910-108, SEPARATION BY REASON OF CONVENIENCE OF THE GOVERNMENT -
EARLY RELEASE TO FURTHER EDUCATION.
REF C IS MILPERSMAN 1910-102, SEPARATION BY REASON OF CHANGES IN SERVICE
OBLIGATION (ACTIVE DUTY AND INACTIVE NAVY RESERVISTS).
RMKS/1. The purpose of this NAVADMIN is to announce implementation
of key force management (FM) personnel policy actions in the
enlisted active component (AC) to ensure Navy remains fully manned
and operationally ready. As the Navy shifts into an environment of
sustainment, retention of every capable Sailor will be critical to
the operational readiness of the Navy. Due to the uncertainty
regarding COVID-19 Pandemic vaccination losses and the recruiting
environment, where competition for talent is especially tough, the
Navy is opening the aperture for additional FM personnel policy
levers to retain Sailors. This requires retention of the right
talent, at a time of uncertainty to ensure sustainment of the force.
2. Early Separation Cancellation. Retention of every capable
Sailor will be critical to the operational readiness of the Navy.
Therefore all enlisted early out programs and time in grade
requirement waivers are cancelled. Service commitments such as
enlistment contracts, service obligations for accepting permanent
change of station orders, advancements, bonuses, training, etc., are
expected to be fulfilled. Service Members experiencing difficulty
in fulfilling obligated service requirements are encouraged to work
with their chain of command and respective detailers to examine
available alternatives to complete their obligation, to include
reassignments to other duties for humanitarian reasons, in line with
reference (a). Unless otherwise directed, this policy expires 30
September 2023.
a. Commanding Officers retain 90-day early out authority for
policy outlined in references (b) and (c).
b. Service Members previously granted approval, or who have an
existing request pending at Commander, Navy Personnel Command
(COMNAVPERSCOM) as of the release of this NAVADMIN, will not be
affected by this policy change.
c. Sailors pursuing commissions in the Navy and other branches
of Service can still submit such requests, each request will be
handled on a case by case basis.
d. United States Space Force applicants are not affected by
this policy change.
3. Voluntary Extension Opportunity. The Navy is accepting
applications from enlisted personnel, except COVID-19 vaccination
refusers, who desire to delay their separation or retirement.
Service Members with an approved separation or retirement date
before 30 September 2022 are eligible to submit a request to their
detailer to have their separation or retirement date delayed between
6 and 12 months. All Service Members interested in extending,
are invited to apply, but priority for approval will be given to
those Service Members filling sea duty and critical billets.
Requests must be received by 30 June 2022. Command endorsed
requests to delay a separation or retirement date should be
initiated through the appropriate PERS-40 detailer. Approved
extension request, will not go beyond 30 September 2023.
a. Service Members who are separating or retiring due to High
Year Tenure (HYT) may apply for a waiver of their current HYT gate.
HYT waivers will be considered for up to an additional 12 months for
enlisted Sailors filling critical operational billets both at sea
and shore. Requests will be approved on a case-by-case basis.
Sailors will submit a command endorsed form 1306/7 Enlisted
Personnel Action Request (ePAR) to My Navy Career Center (MNCC) via
MyNavy Portal or by emailing the ePAR request directly to
askmncc(at)navy.mil.
b. Service Members with an approved separation or retirement
date that are in a sea duty billet, will remain on sea duty if their
request for voluntary extension is approved.

length of extension for SDIP have been approved to accommodate these
requests. The latest SDIP eligibility chart can be found at

updated periodically so check for recent additions. For Sailors who
are in an SDIP eligible billet, a Form 1306/7 ePAR should be
submitted to MNCC at askmncc(at)navy.mil and your detailer.
