Study Notes
Navy Enlisted Retention Bonus (SRB) Program
- Primary Monetary Tool: The Navy's primary monetary tool for encouraging enlisted retention is the SRB program.
- Program Responsibility: The Deputy Chief of Naval Operations (CNO N1) is responsible for the SRB program.
- Policy Development: The Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV N13) develops and implements SRB policy.
- Program Management: OPNAV (N130) handles planning, programming, budgeting, and execution of the SRB program.
- Procedure Oversight: BUPERS-328 oversees SRB procedures and requirements, and takes action on requests.
- Retention Policies: BUPERS-32 and OPNAV (N133) are responsible for policies and planning regarding reenlistment and retention behavior, including identifying critical skills requiring SRB and calculating community needs.
- Eligibility Maintenance: OPNAV (N130) is notified if a service member loses eligibility for SRB (e.g., security clearance loss, medical disqualification, loss of NEC, misconduct).
- Eligibility Criteria: To be eligible for SRB, personnel must be active duty and designated E3 or above.
SRB Reenlistment Request Procedures
- Preferred Method: The preferred method for requesting SRB reenlistment approval is through OPINS, FORMAN, or NSIPS.
- Submission Deadline: SRB reenlistment requests must be submitted no later than 35 days before the desired effective date.
- Earliest Submission Date: Requests can be made up to 120 days prior to the desired effective date.
- Payment Determination: SRB payment can be determined as a flat rate or via a base pay multiple. Calculations use a system of increments (0.5 increases) based on specifics, which are shown as a figure in the provided text.
- Payment Structure: A portion of the SRB payment is made upfront at reenlistment, and the remaining balance is paid annually during the anniversary month of reenlistment (50% initial, 50% paid out each year during the anniversary month).
- Nuclear Personnel: If a nuclear member's active nuclear NEC is changed to inactive, their SRB entitlement isn't affected.
- SRB Payment Calculation: SRB payment calculation is based on monthly basic pay multiplied by additional obligated service months, then multiplying by their respective SRB award multiple. This multiple is increased in increments of 0.5.
- Reenlistment Eligibility Criteria: A table defines different eligibility levels (A, B, C) based on time served, impacting eligibility
