Secretary of the Navy Mabus and Chief of Naval Operations Greenert visited with Sailors and Marines in Afghanistan and aboard ships to discuss security efforts and thank them for their service. The Peleliu Amphibious Ready Group completed an eight-month deployment visiting ports in several countries. The USS Kearsarge arrived in Israel for a port visit while embarked Marines from the 26th MEU. The Military Sealift Command received the first Mobile Landing Platform, USNS Montford Point.
The MCPON asks Chief Petty Officers to help prevent sexual assault in the Navy by talking to at least one sailor per week about prevention. He wants each sailor to then commit to discussing prevention with one of their shipmates, to spread the message throughout the fleet. The excerpt is included to get the word out that sexual assault will not be tolerated. It asks everyone to work together to stamp out this issue.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

What’s Hot
NAVADMIN 245/10 explains changes to the FY11 TA Policy implementing quarterly
allocation. This policy does not apply to Navy College Program Afloat College
Education (NCPACE).
Effective Oct. 1, 2010, funding for TA will be allocated quarterly based on historic
usage rates and remaining available funds. When this allocation is reached, no
further TA applications will be processed for the remainder of that quarter.
Unprocessed applications will be held for processing the following quarter. A Navy
college office staff member will work with each Sailor to determine alternative
course options should the request not be approved. Sailors will continue to be
allowed to submit TA applications at any time, but the applications will not be
processed more than 30 days prior to the start of the fiscal quarter in which the
class starts. Applications will be processed on a first come, first served basis
based upon the online application date.
Sailors should also consider further utilizing other educational opportunities and
study tools available such as Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education
Support (DANTES) and College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) testing, NCPACE,
and academic skills courses, and Navy College program resources to focus studies
and enable off-duty education success.
BLUF:
1. The quarters are Oct-Dec; Jan-Mar; Apr-Jun and Jul-Sept.
2. Sailors may submit TA requests at any time.
3. TA requests will be processed 30 days in advance of the fiscal quarter for only
classes that begin in that quarter.
4. It will be on a first come first served basis.
5. Sailors whose requests are not funded will be contacted by the NCO. They may
not have to resubmit an application if there is a class offered the following quarter
that fits into their education plan. They will retain the original date of the
submission, putting them at the top of the queue for the next quarter. If there
are no classes, they will have to resubmit.
6. For Sailors who cannot reach the Virtual Education Center or have access to a
computer, they may send a NAVAL Message to CPPD.
7. This starts Oct. 1 but Sailors who know what they want to take in the first
quarter may submit now.
3. Bottom Line: Up Front Page 3
Post 9/11 GI Bill Service Obligation Requirement
BLUF: You must understand the guidelines for transferability of the Post 9/11 GI
benefits in order to successfully transfer your benefits.
Navy Personnel Command reports a 25-29 percent rejection rate for requests to
transfer the Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits to family members. Sailors need to
understand transferability guidelines regarding Obligated Service (OBLSERV)
commitment. Service obligation begins on the date you complete your request
for transferability. Officers and enlisted must complete appropriate
documentation AND ensure obligation is reflected in the member’s electronic
service record (ESR). Members can verify their obligated service by logging
into “Self-service ESR” at https://nsips.nmci.navy.mil (CAC required). Officers
must complete a page 13 agreeing to the additional service obligation.
Applications that do not have appropriate service obligation documented in the
ESR will be disapproved and returned for resubmission. If disapproved, a new
service obligation date must be calculated. For more detailed information,
please review NAVADMIN 203/09 and/or visit the Post 9/11 GI Bill NPC page at
http://www.npc.navy.mil/CareerInfo/Education/GIBill/Post_9_11.htm
The Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP)
BLUF: EFMP ensures that Sailors are assigned to geographical areas where
specialized support is available to suit the medical, educational, community and
personnel needs of the family.
The Navy has 16,000 families enrolled in the Exceptional Family Member
Program (EFMP), but some Sailors are not updating their packages before
entering their detailing window. EFMP was established to help alleviate
hardships on family members by ensuring their special needs are considered in
the detailing process. Enrollment ensures family members' needs are identified
so that Sailors are stationed where those needs can best be met. Detailers
need an updated EFM status before they can release orders. Local coordinators
at the nearest Military Treatment Facility can be contacted to confirm update
status and timeframe. Family member status updates are required nine
months prior to a Sailor's Projected Rotation Date, every three years, or
whenever the enrolled member's need changes.
For more information about EFMP, visit their website at
www.npc.navy.mil/CommandSupport/ExceptionalFamilyMember/ or call the
NPC Customer Service Center toll-free at 1-866-827-5672.
4. Page 4 Bottom Line: Up Front
Take Control of Your Orders Negotiate with CMS/ID
BLUF: Take charge of your career and your future assignments by knowing the
ins-and-outs of CMS/ID, talking to your CCC and ensuring your PTS is in on time.
Sailors should know the ins-and-outs of CMS/ID. CMS/ID helps Sailors look for
the perfect job - including those with financial incentives and in support of
worldwide contingencies. Active-duty Sailors can apply for jobs directly in
CMS/ID for about two weeks during each monthly requisition cycle. Sailors can
apply for up to five billets per CMS cycle, while keeping sea/shore rotation in
mind. Other factors may limit you—such as lack of Perform-To-Serve approval,
expired Exceptional Family Member status, Security Clearance issues or poor
results on evaluations or physical readiness tests. The Orders Negotiation
Window for all Sailors changed in early 2010 from five months to three months
to encourage more aggressive participation by Sailors. This means that nine-
to-seven months before Sailors’ projected rotation dates (PRD), they should be
on CMS/ID. This allows a three-month window to negotiate before a Sailor
becomes eligible for an involuntary “needs of the Navy” assignment.
Understand What it Takes to Get Advanced
BLUF: Sailors who earn a good promotion recommendation on their evaluations
and who score well on the advancement exam have the greatest opportunity to
advance to the next paygrade.
The Navy's enlisted advancement system is based on vacancies in each rating,
so it's important for members to understand what they can do to be
competitive. High retention rates contributed to a lower than average number
of Sailors advancing from the March exam cycle, and we expect the September
cycle to be very competitive as well. In each enlisted rating, Sailors are rank-
ordered by their Final Multiple Score (FMS). Competition to earn the higher
FMS is primarily based on a Sailor's performance and knowledge. Passed not
advanced (PNA), awards, service in paygrade (SIPG) and education points
contribute to the FMS, but it is the individual performance and exam score
which have the greatest impact on the FMS.
The FMS computation chart is posted on the Navy Advancement Center's
Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Pensacola-FL/Navy-
Advancement-Center/213190711299 and the NKO Web portal:
https://wwwa.nko.navy.mil/portal/careermanagement/navyadvancementcent
er (CAC required).

Performance Evaluation and Advancement Guidance
for Individual Augmentee Sailors
BLUF: Leaders, continue to set your IA/GSA/OSA Sailors up for success by
keeping them competitive with their peers through the new policy regarding
evals.
NAVADMIN 215/10 outlines execution policy for performance evaluations and
advancement eligibility for IA/GSA/OSA Sailors. These changes are designed so
applicable Sailors are recognized for their service away from their parent
command, and remain competitive with their counterparts. Effective 1 August
2010, regular reporting seniors must maintain regular performance evaluation
continuity and use billet Subcategory (block 21) code "Indiv /Aug" to break out
personnel who are serving on, or have completed an IA/GSA/OSA assignment.
Furthermore, NAVADMIN 215/10 provides policy guidance on concurrent
performance evaluation while on an IA, Performance Mark Average (PMA)
calculation and Time in Rate (TIR) waivers procedures.
Navy Academic Skills Courses Go Online
BLUF: The Navy Academic Skills program assists you with reviewing, refreshing
and enhancing your skills for success in college.
The Navy Academic Skills Program offered through 21 Navy College Learning
Centers (NCLC) is moving to an online-only version available to service
members. The Online Academic Skills Course (OASC) provides access to basic
educational and academic skills at no cost to the student.
As of Sept. 30, the current academic skills program available in NCLCs and the
shore-based instructor-led English, math, and language basic skills courses will
no longer be available to shore commands.
OASC is available at the Navy Knowledge Online website www.nko.navy.mil via
the NKO Learning Tab and on the Navy College Program website at
https://www.navycollege.navy.mil/ under the academic skills link.

Changes on the Enlisted Performance, Conduct,
Detachment for Cause (DFC) and Separations
BLUF: Know, understand and conduct training on the changes to the
MILPERSMAN articles regarding enlisted performance, conduct, DFC and
separations.
Based on inputs from leadership, the Navy has changed its Military Personnel
Manual regarding enlisted performance, conduct, Detachment for Cause (DFC)
and separations. Announced in NAVADMIN 210/10, the changes impact
MILPERSMAN Articles 1910-156, 1616-010 and 1616-040.
The changes in Article 1910-156 give commanders and COs the ability to
separate Sailors for unsatisfactory performance and those who cannot carry out
their assigned duties.
Article 1616-010 deals with DFC of enlisted personnel and changes align those
procedures with those for officers. The previous version allowed for the first
flag officer in the chain of command to approve a DFC for enlisted personnel,
but this amended version changes the approval authority to the Commander,
Navy Personnel Command (CNPC).
Changes to Article 1616-040 aligns the enlisted misconduct reporting process of
civilian and military disciplinary incidents involving first class petty officers or
chief petty officers (E-6/7/8/9) with the officer misconduct reporting process.
It makes mandatory the reporting of civilian and military disciplinary incidents
and incidents that might receive widespread public interest for E-6 through E-9
to CNPC. Incidents include, but are not limited to, the assault of a civilian,
sexual abuse, and murder. Read referenced NAVADMIN for full details.
Be Prepared, Get Insured!
BLUF: Your personal property has value and the only way to protect it is to have
it insured.
Lessons from Katrina and the Millington flood have demonstrated that many of
our Sailors do not have home owners or renters insurance. It’s cheap,
irreplaceable and vital in the aftermath of a catastrophe. It’s too late after
the disaster hits to find out our Sailors had no or inadequate insurance. Advise
your Sailors to insure their property properly and to read the small print in
regards to actual coverage. Sailors need to bear in mind that Public Private
Venture (PPV) housing or the government covers very little.
7. Bottom Line: Up Front Page 7
Memorial Service Travel
BLUF: Casualty Assistance Calls Officers and commands need to be aware of
the revisions to government-funded travel of family members and authorized
beneficiaries.
ALNAV 045/10 announces the revisions authorizing government-funded travel of
family members/authorized beneficiaries to a command/unit sponsored
memorial service at a location other than the burial site. All eligible relatives
are authorized travel and transportation allowances for one round-trip to the
installation or unit memorial service. This round-trip is in addition to the
burial ceremony. Reimbursable expenses are limited to authorized travel
allowances.
Changes to Defense Activity for Non-Traditional
Education Support Retesting Policy
BLUF: Continuing education is vital to personal and professional growth.
Prepare yourself for college-level exams prior to taking them.
NAVADMIN 231/10 modifies the retest option for the college level examination
program (CLEP), defense activity for non-traditional education (DANTES)
subject standardized test (DSST), and Excelsior college examinations (ECE).
These programs provide a valuable resource to Sailors in earning college credit
toward an educational degree, and to the Navy in incurring less tuition
assistance (TA) costs.
In an effort to encourage service members to better prepare for initial exams
and reduce Navy costs, DANTES will only fund a service member’s initial
examination fee for each CLEP, DSST and ECE exam. Sailors who do not
receive a passing score, are no longer able to retest on a no cost basis. To
retest, members must wait 180 calendar days between test dates and must
personally fund the retest.
Free exam study sheets are available at the Navy Knowledge Online (NKO)
website under the learning tab, or on the DANTES website at
www.dantes.doded.mil

Advancement Exam Prep
BLUF: Advancement exams are just around the corner … visit the Navy’s
Advancement Center’s NKO web portal and make sure you are ready!
Advancement exams are coming soon and the first thing you should do is
download your bibliography on the Navy Advancement Center's (NAC's) NKO
Web portal at
https://wwwa.nko.navy.mil/portal/careermanagement/navyadvancementcent
er/home/advancementexamstategyguide(aesg).
Bibliographies are published six months prior to the exam administration dates.
Individual rating bibliographies are exam cycle specific. In other words, the
reference list that posts for each exam is generated from each exam question.
During Advancement Examination Development Conferences (AEDCs), visiting
CPO Fleet Subject Matter Experts (FSMEs) assign a specific reference to every
question in the exam bank. As FSMEs select questions for exams, an exam
bibliography is created from those questions. The FSMEs then decides whether
chapters or sections of the entire publication should be published for a
particular reference. Some FSMEs elect to be very specific for their rating and
provide detailed bibliographies, whereas FSMEs in other ratings decide to
publish broad publication information without chapters or sections.
Also on the NAC Web portal, you will see a link for "Topics" next to the BIB link.
Your exam was developed from the Occupational and Professional Military
Knowledge Topics and Subtopics. This information is presented in alphabetical
order, not order of importance. Why is this information key to your exam
preparation? The Topic and Subtopic list gives you insight to how the FSMEs
from your rating compartmentalized the information. Within each Topic you
can see how the FSMEs broke down the information. By applying the
references from the exam bibliography to listed Topics and Subtopics, you can
better prepare and understand how your exam was designed. The Topic and
Subtopic list is a very powerful tool.
Good luck preparing for your exam. Remember, advancements are based on
vacancies. Your final multiple is compared to your peers in your rate, so good
performance and a high exam score are key to moving up!
