13 - 17 Jan Jacksonville

Say Something Supply Corps

Save the date! February 23, 2020…the Supply Corps’ 225th Birthday. We’re sure you have something to say

about it, but can you say it in 20 words or less? We’re hoping you can because we would like your “Say

Something Supply Corps” in one of next year’s Quarterly Newsletters as we celebrate the history of the Supply

Corps in each edition. Send your “Say Something Supply Corps” directly to the newsletter editor

at: matthew.morrison1@navy.mil. Remember, 20 words or less. We look forward to hearing from you!

Officer Inventory Shortage

For a multitude of reasons, the Supply Corps is experiencing inventory shortfalls that will result in gaps in

Supply Corps billets as we begin FY20 and continue into the foreseeable future. The largest deficiencies will

be felt in the LT to CDR ranks. Therefore, to support the Chief of the Supply Corps in meeting our world-wide

responsibilities, the Office of Supply Corps Personnel (OP) will begin detailing in accordance with Navy

Personnel Command’s “Priority Officer Manning Thresholds”. The below “Priority Order” and “Manning

Target” will be used as a guideline as we continue working with each of your commands:

Priority Order Manning Target Minimum Target

1. Operational Assignments 100% 100%

2. Fleets (Geo/Numbered) 95% 90%

3. COCOMs 85% 80%

4. Overseas Shore Duty 85% 80%

5. Joint Staff/OPNAV 90% 90%

6. Service School Staffs 90% 85%

7. TYCOM/SYSCOM/HQ Staff 85% 80%

8. Other CONUS Shore Duty 80% 80%

2

In the near future, OP will command representatives to review organizational manning and discuss a way

ahead. Your input and suggestions for which billet(s) can best accept the risk of a gap will be an important part

of that discussion. For your planning purposes, command-initiated/supported early rotations from organizations

will likely result in a gap until the actual PRD of that officer.

As we begin FY20, please consider and research opportunities that can minimize the impact of reduced

manning. Conducting early turnovers in a TAD status, completing school/training requirements in advance of

PCS, reducing enroute leave during PCS, careful consideration of dates for approved retirements and requests

for shortened PRDs, civilian and Reservist backfill opportunities can all potentially reduce the impact of an

upcoming gap in personnel.

We appreciate your understanding of the community’s manpower challenge and thank you, in advance, for your

advocacy within your command as we negotiate reliefs and minimize gaps. As always, please feel free to reach

out to the OP staff with any questions you might have.

CY20 CAPT and CDR Daisy Chains

As we finish the CY20 CAPT and CDR slating, we are going to focus on daisy chains to meet turnover, training

and retirement requirements to derive amenable detach and report dates. This is a complex and potentially

contentious effort due to the numerous variables and conflicting priorities between gaining and losing

commands. Once the stakeholders (“gatekeepers”) come to consensus on detach and report dates for all the

officers in a particular daisy chain, we will draft orders. Depending on the fiscal situation for both PCS and

training (OM&N), we intend to have hard copy orders released by the end of January 2020. We appreciate your

patience as we work the daisy chains this fall.

O-4 Operational / Overseas Tours

Did you know that roughly 34% (70+ billets per year) of the LCDR billets are Operational or

Overseas? Assuming two tours as a LCDR, the Supply Corps will need 68% of our LCDRs to complete an

Operational or Overseas assignment during this 5-year time in grade. These are outstanding opportunities to

lead sailors in a warfighting capacity, diversify and/or balance your career assignments and directly contribute

to the community being “Ready For Sea!”. Talk to your mentor and detailer about the value of an O-4

Operational or Overseas tour.

Post Graduate School Update

A Supply Corps Operational Planning Team (OPT) is evaluating the processes and procedures on how we detail

officers to postgraduate education, most specifically, NPS, CIVINS and the War Colleges. Your patience is

greatly appreciated as address obstacles limiting PG opportunities.

FY20 JPME II Schedule

JPME II Class 20-2 30 Mar – 5 Jun

JPME II Class 20-3 22 Jun – 28 Aug

JPME II Class 20-4 14 Sep – 20 Nov

Earlier this year the NDU Joint Forces Staff College, Joint and Combined Warfighting School (JCWS)

anticipated reducing throughput in the 10 week version of JPME II. NDU has since rescinded that action.

Interested officers (O4 and above) should submit preferences to the O5 Detailer

(O5_Suppo_Dtlr.fct@navy.mil). A full course description can be found at

https://jfsc.ndu.edu/Academics/Joint-and-Combined-Warfighting-School-JCWS/Course-Description/.

Transition Assistance Program Changes

The Transition Assistance Program (TAP) prepares eligible Service members and their families to face the

many challenges of transitioning from active duty back to civilian life. TAP enables Service members to fulfill

the requirements of the Veterans Opportunity to Work (VOW) to Hire Heroes Act of 2012 and meet their

Career Readiness Standards (CRS) as mandated by the TAP for Military Personnel Department of Defense

Instruction 1332.35.

Note: Effective 1 Oct 2019, ALL transitioning Service members must attend an Initial Self-Assessment

Counseling (IC) no less than 365 days prior to official separation, which prepares them for their

TAP Workshop that encompasses 3-days of core mandated curriculum and a selected career track that focuses

either on Employment, Entrepreneurship Education or Vocational training.

Key changes that tailor TAP to the Sailors needs include:

A Mandatory self-assessment, initial in-person counseling by a command career counselor and

assignment into one of three pathways or tiers, 365 days or more prior to separation.

Mandatory completion of pre-separation counseling which is conducted during the first day of

transition class.

Completion of a 2-day track during days 4 and 5 of transition courses.

Information on TAP can be found under the 21st Century Sailor tab at:

Self-assessment worksheet and counseling tool.

Additional resources.

Golden/Silver Ticket

NAVADMIN 047/18 announced the development of the Targeted Reentry Program which is designed to

streamline the process to allow for a service member to re-enter the Navy at the same career point within the

first or second year after separation if approved by their respective community. TRP empowers commanding

officers (CO) to identify Active Component (AC) and Full Time Support (FTS) officer and enlisted personnel

who have elected to leave active-duty (AD) service and do not desire to affiliate with the Ready Reserve and

recommend them to be awarded a Golden Ticket or Silver Ticket. For more information please visit

https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/career/talentmanagement.

Ruehlin Seminar

The Ruehlin Seminar is an Executive Transition Assistance Program (XTAP) which focuses strictly on the

practical aspects of career transition, including the process of managing a career and finding the right job. The

seminar is usually provided to those senior officers (05/06), enlisted personnel (E8/E9) and Warrant Officers

who have 20-30+ years on active duty who are planning to retire in the next two years. NOTE: The Ruehlin

Seminar does not replace the required Transition Assistance Program (TAP) for officer and enlisted personnel

separating/retiring from Active Duty.

There are two seminars scheduled for FY20:

Location: Washington, DC area specific location: Cowan and Associates

2316 South Eads Street

Arlington, VA 22202

Dates: 11-15 May 2020 (please request attendance NLT 6 weeks from start date)

Limited to 14 active duty participants and their partner

Location: San Diego, CA area specific location: Pacific Beacon Building

If you are interested in attending an upcoming seminar, please contact the Supply Corps Career Counselor at

supplycorpscareercounselor@navy.mil.

Blended Retirement System (BRS)

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2016 created a new military retirement

system that blends a defined benefit annuity with a defined contribution plan, through the Thrift Savings Plan

(TSP). The primary difference between BRS and the legacy “High-3” system is that BRS adjusts the years of

service multiplier from 2.5 percent to 2.0 percent for calculating monthly retired pay. In addition, the BRS

includes automatic government contributions of 1 percent of basic pay and government matching contributions

of up to an additional 4 percent of basic pay to a service member’s TSP account. The law also included a

continuation pay provision, which is a direct cash payout (like a bonus), in return for additional obligated

service. Changes to the Uniform Services’ retirement system went into effect January 1, 2018. Always check

with your Human Resource/Workforce Management/Personnel servicing center and visit the BRS Resource

website at http://militarypay.defense.gov/BlendedRetirement for the latest information.

Official Biography

Captains and Commanders, it is imperative that you have an updated and official biography! This is the first

impression you make at a gaining command when OP nominates you for an assignment. These nominations

typically include your Officer Record Brief (ORB) and biography. Lieutenant Commanders and Lieutenants are

also encouraged to have their biographies updated periodically for nominative positions as well! An official

biography should include the letterhead and a current portrait as depicted in the below example:

https://www.navy.mil/navydata/bios/navybio.asp?bioID=769.

Update Your Assignment Preferences

Your preferences are used to assist detailers in finding the right fit for you and the Navy in your next

assignment. You may update your preferences at any time. Detailers only use your most recent update in the

detailing process. Remember, officer preferences are not a substitute for collaborating with your detailer on

your next assignment. You can send us your preferences by emailing your respective detailer.

APC Calculation & PG School Preferences

Postgraduate (PG) education is a career milestone for Supply Corps officers, and all officers should have their

Academic Profile Code (APC) calculated as soon as possible after commissioning. Its Your Education

6

playbook (available via eSUPPO app) provides details on how to have your score calculated and how to better

your score if required for a program you aspire towards. Once your APC score is updated, email your top three

PG school curriculum preferences to the Career Counselor at supplycorpscareercounselor@navy.mil. Once

updated, your preferences can be verified in block 94 of your Officer Data Card (ODC).

Records Maintenance – NSIPS System Update

NSIPS recently migrated to an AWS GovCloud environment. As board season is quickly upon us don’t delay

in reviewing your record for accuracy and completion. Remember, your record is your career resume.

92A/929 AQDs: Upon reporting to a second operational tour officers should contact the supply corps career

counselor to ensure their record reflects the 92A AQD. Officers should also contact the career counselor upon

successful completion of that second operational tour to ensure the 929 AQD is recorded.

eSUPPO Mobile App

The eSUPPO app provides single-source access to Supply Corps news, billet listings, reference material,

community-related NAVSUP instructions, and links to community-related social media pages and websites.

Download it today on your Apple or Android device(s) via the Apple App Store or Google Play by searching

for “eSUPPO.”

Are you PCSing?

Navy Personnel Command released a new app called MyPCS Mobile that gives active-duty sailors the ability

to electronically submit travel receipts, complete vouchers and apply for government housing and childcare

during their moves between duty stations. The app, which can be used without a Common Access Card after a

one-time setup, is available to all sailors by accessing it through the Navy App Locker

(www.applocker.navy.mil) or MyNavy Portal.

We periodically send information regarding boards, graduate education opportunities, helpful reminders, the OP

Monthly, etc. Note: 11-25% of all Supply Officers are missing elements in their OP contact information

file. Please send us your updated contact information to supplycorpscareercounselor@navy.mil. Sample
