6 Jun 1944: Allied forces land troops on Normandy beaches
On 6 June 1944, Operation Overlord (D-Day) – the Allied forces landed troops on Normandy beaches for the largest amphibious landing in history, beginning the march eastward to defeat Germany. In a larger strategic sense, the successful Allied landing in France was a psychological blow to the German occupation of Europe. It called into question the German Army's ability to control western Europe, dramatically increased partisan activity against enemy occupation, and heartened the spirits of all those fighting against Nazi tyranny. The balance of power on the continent, already weakened by Soviet offensives into Poland, was decisively tipped into Allied favor. From that point on, the Allies would begin the drive into Germany that ultimately destroyed the Nazi regime on 7 May 1945.To read indepth about D-Day, please click here for the Navy Library’s Online Reading Room:http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq109-1.htm

Focusing On Resilience: 21st Century Sailor Office Established Release Date: 6/5/2013 7:14:00 AM From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Effective June 1, Navy headquarters staff realigned in support of the establishment of 21st Century Sailor office (OPNAV N17).
Establishment of the 21st Century Sailor office will provide for more coordinated and streamlined efforts in Sailor resiliency and readiness programs. Full details of the realignment can be found in Naval Administrative Message 153/13.
The office is responsible for the integration of the Navy's objectives for equal opportunity, Sailor personal and family readiness; physical readiness; substance abuse prevention; suicide prevention; sexual harassment and sexual assault prevention and response (SAPR), hazing prevention, and transition assistance.
"The goal of 21st Century Sailor office is to provide our Sailors with the support network, programs, resources, training, and skills needed to overcome adversity and thrive," said Rear Adm. Walter "Ted" Carter, Director of the 21st Century Sailor office. "Resilience is not one program or initiative, but a comprehensive effort to build life skills that not only ensure Navy readiness, but also fully develop the personal and professional talent of our force. The 21st Century Sailor office will drive policy and strategies that are responsive to our Sailors and their families."
The 21st Century Sailor office was created through a realignment of existing Navy resources as part of the recommendations from Task Force Resilient. Task Force Resilient was chartered by Vice Chief of Naval Operations (VCNO) Adm. Mark Ferguson on January 22, 2013 to review Navy resiliency efforts as well as suicide related events in order to increase resilience and reduce suicides.
Led by Rear Adm. Walter "Ted" Carter, Task Force Resilient determined Navy resilience resources could better serve Sailors if aligned under one overarching and integrated organization that provided unity of effort across the Navy enterprise. Task Force Resilient recommended establishing the 21st Century office, led by a Line Flag officer, to serve as the overall lead for Navy resilience efforts by focusing on outcomes and continuity of care across Navy programs.
"Building resilience through a culture of total fitness (physical, mental, social, and spiritual) will empower a force that is always ready to operate forward and execute our warfighting mission," said Carter. "There is much work to be done, but the 21st Century Sailor office establishment is an important step toward supporting life skills programs that our Sailors will want to better themselves and improve our readiness."
21st Century Sailor office will include six individual policy branches residing under the N17 organization: Total Sailor Fitness (N170), Suicide Prevention (N171), Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (N172), Sexual Harassment Prevention and Equal Opportunity (N173), and the Office of Hazing Prevention (N174).
The realignment of the Navy 21st Century Sailor Office began June 1, 2013 and will be completed prior to January 2014.

Benefit Training For Same-Sex Partners And Children Begins Release Date: 6/4/2013 12:26:00 PM From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The Navy will begin training for leadership and support elements to be ready to provide eligible benefits to same-sex domestic partners of service members and their children beginning August 31.
"Extending these benefits reinforces the principle that all those who volunteer to serve are treated with dignity and respect and ensured fairness and equal treatment to the extent allowable under law," said Rear Adm. Tony Kurta, director military plans and policy.
Training must be accessed by all current and prospective, active and reserve command triads via Navy e-Learning and must be completed by August 23 according to NAVADMIN 152/13.
The training will assist leadership in a knowledgeable and professional extension of benefits beginning August 31 when service members will be able to submit a "Declaration of Domestic Partnership for DEERS Enrollment" (DD653) and obtain a Department of Defense identification for their same-sex partners to access benefits detailed in the February 11 memo by Secretary of Defense.
Earlier this year, the Department of Defense identified family member and dependent benefits that the services can lawfully provide to same-sex partners and their families through changes in Department of Defense policies and regulation. To make all of these benefits available to same-sex partners of our service members, Navy reviewed and is modifying all necessary instructions, notices, and MILSPERMAN articles, and conducting training to ensure a clear understanding of the benefits and documentation requirements.
Benefits that will be extended to same-sex domestic partners and families include:
* Dependent ID cards (DD Form 1173) which will be renewed in accordance with existing policies
* Commissary and Exchange
* Access to Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR)
* Access to child and youth programs. This includes child care, youth programs and youth sponsorship.
* Space-Available Travel on DoD Aircraft

Survey Says: Vec Provides Outstanding Customer Service Release Date: 5/31/2013 4:22:00 PM By Chief Mass Communication Specialist Jayme Pastoric, Center for Personal and Professional Development Public Affairs VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (NNS) -- A recent online survey conducted by Navy Personnel Research, Studies and Technology (NPRST) indicate the Virtual Education Center (VEC) is providing a high level of service to the fleet.
Launched in 2010, the VEC is a state-of-the-art call center providing voluntary education services, including education counseling and tuition assistance processing.
"The purpose of the VEC is to provide outreach education services to active duty Sailors and veterans around the world, and tuition assistance to active duty Sailors," said Sharen Richardson, VEC supervisor.
The VEC serves as the Navy College Program's central location for receiving and responding to toll-free telephone, electronic mail, fax, and U.S. Postal service inquiries dealing with all off-duty voluntary education programs and services. The VEC processes tuition assistance applications, serves as a hub for requesting the Joint Services Transcript (JST) and provides easy access to information on the Navy College Program and other voluntary education opportunities.
Open Monday through Friday, from 6 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, the VEC is staffed by academic advisors who will answer questions and process requests pertaining to all facets of the Navy's voluntary education programs. It's a one-stop shop for educational questions Sailors have.
"We fund Sailors throughout the world with tuition assistance toward their educational goals, provide educational guidance and counseling and correct and update sailors and Navy veterans' Joint Services Transcript with accurate training and college information," said Richardson.
This fiscal year, the VEC has processed and authorized more than 71,000 tuition assistance requests, sent out 10,000 JSTS to colleges and posted more than 5,000 degrees.
"We are successful one Sailor at a time," said Richardson. "When we help individuals reach their goals, they let us know. Most of the staff would tell you this is the joy in doing what we do. The little things they (VEC staff) do culminate into big rewards for our Sailors."
VEC provides world-class customer service to all active duty Navy, veterans, family members and Navy College Office staffs.
"Since 2010, our ongoing focus is to provide outstanding customer service to Navy personnel within this virtual 'call center' environment and ensure a consistent message is delivered by the VEC as well as our NCO colleagues in the field," said Dr. Mary Redd-Clary, Navy Voluntary Education program director. "We want to make sure our communications with both active duty and Navy veterans is maintained at a high quality, whether the interaction occurs on the phone or via email."
CPPD is responsible for providing a wide range of personal and professional development courses and materials, including General Military Training, Navy instructor training, alcohol and drug awareness program training, suicide and sexual assault prevention, bystander intervention, and personal responsibility classes. CPPD's required leadership training is delivered multiple times throughout a Sailor's career via command-delivered enlisted leadership training material and officer leadership courses in a schoolhouse setting. CPPD also administers the Navy's voluntary education program, which provides Sailors with the opportunity to earn college degrees. CPPD additionally manages the United Services Military Apprenticeship Program (USMAP), which offers Sailors the opportunity to earn civilian apprenticeship certifications.

CPPD: Where Mind Meets Mission
For more news from Center for Personal and Professional Development, visit www.navy.mil/local/voledpao/ . Career Navigator Goes Online Release Date: 5/31/2013 8:12:00 AM By Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The Navy is bringing together all enlisted career management policies, processes and multiple information technology systems under the umbrella of the Career Navigator program in order to provide Sailors with tools and information to plan and execute their career decisions as announced in NAVADMINs 149/13 and 150/13 released May 30.
"Our goal is to provide Sailors with career opportunities across the continuum of Active and Reserve service," said Rear Adm. Tony Kurta, director of military personnel plans and policy. "We have dismantled PTS and created a reenlistment process that is more advantageous for Sailors. We're simplifying the process and providing information sooner, giving our Sailors interactive capability that will enable more transparency and feedback capability and ultimately allow Sailors to be more actively involved in managing their careers."
Career Navigator will use Career Waypoints (formerly Fleet RIDE) as the IT system that supports key Sailor decisions about which way to go next in their career. Career Waypoints will include the enlisted career management processes that allow Sailors to give their intentions to reenlist, reclassify, designate into a rate, convert or transition between the Active Component and Reserve Component. Accordingly these processes will be called: Reenlistment (formerly Perform To Serve (PTS)), Reclassification (formerly production management office (PMO)), PACT designation (formerly rating entry for general apprentice (REGA)), Conversion and Transition. Changes to the system, policy and process names will occur in the next few months.
Beginning June 3, Sailors will receive results of reenlistment applications earlier and the process will align with orders negotiation. Sailors will find out if they've been approved sooner, and have more time to apply for orders through the Career Management System Interactive Detailing (CMS-ID), in the Reenlistment Career Waypoint for active duty.
All Sailors will continue to indicate their intentions to reenlist or separate with their career counselor. They will submit their intentions through their career counselor 13 months before their active obligated service, as extended (SEAOS), one month earlier than before. Sailors can still change their minds after this initial submission, and are encouraged to let their career counselors know if they've made a change as soon as possible.
"Knowing Sailors' intentions is critical to accurately predict how many Sailors we will have in each skillset, rate and paygrade going forward" said Kurta. "This ensures the maximum opportunity to reenlist in rate for those Sailors who desire to stay, offers opportunities for Sailors to convert to a new rate or transition between components, and improves advancement opportunity."
All eligible and command-approved E-6 Sailors will be approved for reenlistment on their first application, according to officials. While there is still a need for Sailors to tell their career counselor their intentions, if they want to reenlist and have command approval to do so, they will be given reenlistment approval on their first application. Soon, as the IT system is updated, Sailors and their commands will receive confirmation immediately upon submittal.
Navy officials say 100 percent of eligible, command approved Sailors in skillsets that are open (undermanned) or balanced will also receive approval to reenlist on their first application, and within 30 days. This will also become immediate with planned IT updates.
The changes will give eligible and command-approved E-5 and below Sailors answers about reenlistment requests earlier. This process has also been aligned with orders negotiation so Sailors will have more time to negotiate for the orders they want.
Sailors in skillsets that are competitive or overmanned, or that have special requirements such as the nuclear community, will receive information sooner about their ability to reenlist in rate, or opportunity to convert to a different rate or transition to the Reserves. Many of these Sailors will also receive approval to reenlist on their first application depending on the manning in their year group.
According to Kurta, with this new design, approximately 75% of Sailors who want to reenlist will be approved on their first application and all Sailors will know at least 10 months from the end of their contract whether they will be able to reenlist in their current rate.
"Each month, we have been processing approximately 12,000 reenlistment applications," Kurta said. "This number is expected to decrease significantly since the majority of Sailors will not have to apply for multiple months before receiving a decision. Sailors not approved to reenlist in rate will have additional time to apply to convert into another rating where opportunity exists. "
For Sailors who are in overmanned or competitive skillsets will have up to 11 monthly reviews grouped into three phases beginning 13 months from their expiration of SEAOS. Each phase will present the career options available to a Sailor.
The first phase provides Sailors with four reviews starting 13 months from SEAOS with three options of in-rate reenlistment, conversion to another rating or transition into selected Reserves (SELRES ).
In the second phase, Sailors who have not been given the go ahead for reenlistment in-rate will be given four more reviews with the options of conversion to a new rate or transition into SELRES.
In the third and final phase, Sailors will receive up to three reviews to transition into SELRES.
Other changes to improve Sailors' career management include updates to rating designation for Professional Career Track (PACT) Sailors, rating conversions for Reserve Sailors, and Reserve component to active component augmentation. These updates will be supported by several information technology enhancements to Career Waypoints and are also effective, June 3.
The second change automatically generates partial applications for PACT Sailors who meet minimum qualification requirements. The NAVADMIN also modifies policy to allow time in rate (TIR) Sailors to apply for a rating entry designation (RED) quotas.
The final process changes impact Sailors in the Reserve Component, as part of continuum of service initiatives announced in NAVADMIN 114/10. Starting June 3, SELRES and voluntary training unit (VTU) Sailors will be able to request active duty augmentation through the transition module within Career Waypoints, provided they meet specific program requirements. The program is being expanded to include FTS opportunities and to allow conversions into ratings with available quotas provided Sailors meet program requirements.
Additionally, SELRES Sailors will be able to request conversion to an undermanned SELRES rating through Career Waypoints, instead of routing paper packages to PERS-8 for approval.
Previous Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) restrictions are now lifted for augmented members. Reserve Component Sailors who augment onto active duty may be eligible to receive SRB based on current active duty SRB authorizations and their amount of continuous active duty service.
To be eligible for SRB, Reserve Sailors must have completed at least 17 continuous months of active Naval service (other than active duty for training), but not more than 20 years of active military service at some time in their career. To ensure all requirements are met, visit the SRB page of the NPC Website.
To learn more about the Career Navigator program, Sailors may speak with their chain of command, career counselor, read the NAVADMIN, or call NPC customer service center at 1-866-U-ASK-NPC, (1-866-827-5672) or e-mail at CSCMailbox@navy.mil.

(NNS) -- The Navy is accepting applications from eligible officers for the Fiscal Year 2014 (FY 14) Specialty Career Path (SCP) Program, in a Navy message released May 31.
The SCP Program provides officers alternatives to the traditional command-at-sea-career path and supports demand for senior unrestricted line officer expertise in growing mission areas.
The program is designed to develop and utilize selected officers in the following distinct specialty career paths:
*Operations Analysis
*Financial Management
*Naval Operational Planner
*Anti-terrorism/Force Protection
*Shore Installation Management
*Anti-Submarine Warfare

Officers who meet eligibility requirements may apply for up to two specialty career paths. The board will select eligible officers best qualified to serve the needs of the Navy in each specialty career path. Selectees will retain their original officer designator and will receive an additional qualification designator that indicates their area of specialization.
The program provides selectees jobs with increasing complexity and responsibility. Officers will gain experience and develop management and leadership skills that will best serve the Navy while providing enhanced opportunity for successful career transition upon retirement.
The FY 14 SCP Selection Board will also screen previously unselected SCP lieutenant commanders and commanders for SCP executive (XO) and commanding officer (CO) billets within their mission areas. SCP XO and CO screened officers will be eligible to fill designated SCP milestone billets.
