The Navy is canceling early separation programs and encouraging delayed separation as it aims to retain more sailors, especially in sea billets.
The Navy announced the cancellation of enlisted early out programs, as well as waivers for new time-in-grade requirement, in NAVADMIN 142/22, released on June 22.
Under the policy, service commitments, which include enlistment contracts and permanent changes of station, will be fulfilled. Anyone who has trouble completing their service requirements should work with their chain of command and/or detailers to figure out alternatives.
Those seeking commissions are still encouraged to do so, with those requests considered on a case-by-case basis.
