INITIAL PHASE WILL INVOLVE FIRST-TERM SAILORS IN CREO 3 RATES WHO

OBLIGATION (5YO) OR 6YO PROGRAM, ARE CONSIDERED FIRST-TERM SAILORS:
HOWEVER, THEY DO NOT REQUIRE PTS APPROVAL FOR THEIR 12/24 MONTHS
EXTENSION TO BECOME OPERATIVE.  PERSONNEL ALREADY UNDER PCS ORDERS;

APPROVED SRB PRECERT AT THE TIME OF THE RELEASE OF THIS NAVADMIN ARE
NOT AFFECTED.
