RELEASING AUTHORITY
The message releaser is a properly designated
individual authorized to release a message for
transmission in the name of the originator. The
individual’s signature validates the content of the
message and affirms compliance with message drafting
instructions contained in the NTP 3 and related
publications. Also, the releaser’s signature authorizes
transmission of message. A senior PN will normally
release messages while standing duty as command duty
officer, or when he or she is designated by the CO or
officer in charge (OIC).
REPORTS MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
According to SECNAVINST 5214.2B, reports
management is required to make sure reports and
reporting systems provide necessary information
effectively, efficiently, and economically.
Information is vital to the success of any
organization and provides the basis for management
decisions. Specific types of data are needed to meet
particular requirements. Reports are the major means for
providing this data. Reports management encompasses
the development of reports and reporting systems. As
conditions or needs change, reports management must
provide for improvement of reports or systems.
SECNAVINST 5214.2B contains information on
reports control, reports analysis, internal reports, public
reports, interagency reports, and a self-inspection guide
for managers.
PAY AND ALLOWANCE DOCUMENTS
PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION
Pay and allowance documents must be prepared
according to instructions contained in the
PAYPERSMAN or the SDSPROMAN. The screening
of pay and allowance documents is the responsibility of
all personnel handling the documents.
The office that prepares optical character reader
(OCR) or SDS documents for input to CHNAVPERS or
DFAS - Cleveland Center should establish local
procedures to make sure the preparation of documents
follows instructions. In addition, local procedures
should provide for proper storage and handling of forms,
OCR typewriter maintenance, and review of completed
documents.
The office that forwards OCR or SDS documents to
CHNAVPERS or DFAS - Cleveland Center will set up
local written procedures to screen out obvious and
common errors before documents are released. In fact,
local office directives ensure the personnel or disbursing
officer has adequate control over the preparation of
input documents.
The office should also establish a system that checks
the quality control of input, timely processing, and
efficient maintenance of local files. These directives
must, at a minimum, address daily transmittals,
timeliness of document preparation, quality control of
documents prepared or processed, and correction of
erroneous documents.
OCR and SDS documents must be signed by the CO
or a designated person authorized to sign for him or her.
If the CO authorizes another person to sign by direction
documents that affect pay, the CO must notify the
disbursing officer in writing that authorization has been
granted. The notification must include a sample
signature of the person authorized to sign. The
disbursing officer retains the authorization on file for as
long as it remains in effect.
SELECTIVE REENLISTMENT BONUS
PROGRAM
The SRB program is used to increase the number of
reenlistments in ratings and Navy Enlisted
Classification (NEC) codes having insufficient
retention. Reviews are conducted every 3 to 6 months
to determine which ratings or NECs will be authorized
SRB. Award levels are reduced or eliminated as
manning and/or retention improves in a rating or NEC
to make SRB funds available for other ratings or NECs.
Changes to the list of SRB eligible ratings or NECs and
respective award levels are announced by a
NAVADMIN message that is normally released 30 days
before the effective date of decreases or terminations.
GENERAL ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
Members must complete at least 21 continuous
months (excluding annual training [AT] [formerly
ACDUTRA]) but not more than 14 years of active naval
