RMKS/1.  THIS MARADMIN AMPLIFIES REF A WHICH REVISES ARTICLE 1137 TO 
REF B.  THIS CHANGE IS EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.

2.  PER REF B, THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY, CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS, 
AND COMMANDANT OF THE MARINE CORPS MAY PROMULGATE REGULATIONS OR 
INSTRUCTIONS THAT REQUIRE SERVICEMEMBERS TO REPORT CIVILIAN ARRESTS OR 
FILING OF CRIMINAL CHARGES IF THOSE REGULATIONS OR INSTRUCTIONS SERVE A 
REGULATORY OR ADMINISTRATIVE PURPOSE.  SPECIFICALLY:
    A.  PARAGRAPH 2 OF THE REVISED ARTICLE 1137 INCORPORATES PROVISIONS 
OF REF C AND EXTENDS THEM TO FOREIGN CONVICTIONS AND TO ALL PERSONS IN 
THE NAVAL SERVICE.
    B.  DISCIPLINARY ACTION RELATED TO SELF-REPORT OF ARREST BY 
CIVILIAN AUTHORITIES OR FILING OF CRIMINAL CHARGES:
        (1) FOR ARRESTS OR CHARGES FILED PRIOR TO THE RELEASE OF THIS 
MESSAGE, AND WHEN SELF-REPORTING OF SUCH ARREST OR CHARGE WAS REQUIRED 
BY REGULATION OR INSTRUCTION, COMMANDERS SHALL NOT IMPOSE DISCIPLINARY 
ACTION FOR FAILURE TO SELF-REPORT OR BASED SOLELY ON INFORMATION 
DERIVED FROM THE SELF-REPORT.
        (2) FOR ARRESTS OR CHARGES FILED AFTER THE RELEASE OF THIS 
MESSAGE, COMMANDERS MAY IMPOSE DISCIPLINARY ACTION BASED ON A FAILURE 
TO SELF-REPORT WHEN A REPORTING REQUIREMENT CONTAINED IN A REGULATION 
OR INSTRUCTION SERVES A REGULATORY OR ADMINISTRATIVE PURPOSE RATHER 
THAN A PUNITIVE PURPOSE.  COMMANDERS MAY ALSO IMPOSE DISCIPLINARY 
ACTION FOR THE UNDERLYING OFFENSE IF BASED SOLELY ON EVIDENCE DERIVED 
INDEPENDENTLY OF A SELF-REPORT.  CONSULT WITH A JUDGE ADVOCATE WITH ANY 
QUESTIONS PRIOR TO IMPOSING DISCIPLINARY ACTION.

3.  ACTION.  THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE NAVY (MANPOWER AND RESERVE
AFFAIRS) WILL REVIEW EXISTING SECNAV REGULATIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS, AND 
THE CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS AND THE COMMANDANT OF THE MARINE CORPS 
WILL REVIEW EXISTING OPNAV INSTRUCTIONS AND MARINE CORPS ORDERS, 
RESPECTIVELY.
THESE REVIEWS WILL DETERMINE WHETHER THERE IS A REGULATORY OR 
ADMINISTRATIVE PURPOSE TO JUSTIFY CERTAIN INSTRUCTIONS (E.G., OPNAVINST 
1330.2, NAVY CAREER INTERMISSON PILOT PROGRAM GUIDELINES) TO REQUIRE 
SELF-REPORTING OF CIVILIAN ARRESTS OR FILING OF CRIMINAL CHARGES AND TO 
PROMULGATE SUCH INSTRUCTIONS AND REGULATIONS, AS REQUIRED.  LOCAL 
COMMANDERS SHALL ENSURE LOCAL INSTRUCTIONS DO NOT INCLUDE A SELF-
REPORTING REQUIREMENT.

4.  RELEASED BY RAY MABUS, SECRETARY OF THE NAVY.
