“From the Desk of the BUMED FORCE MASTER CHIEF”

and Director of the Hospital Corps

28 July 2008

1. E-5 HIGH YEAR TENURE (HYT)

Please review the attached NAVADMIN 210/08 as it serves as a reminder to Sailors and Navy Leadership of the impending execution of E5 HYT at 14 years.

2. DEPLOYMENT HEALTH ASSESSMENT POLICY AND PROCESS

The attached NAVADMIN 207/08 supersedes and cancels NAVADMINs 142/03 and 206/06 and provides guidance for the Deployment Health Assessment (DHA) process.

3. ELECTRONIC MILITARY PERSONNEL RECORDS SYSTEMS (EMPRS)

The Navy is working to eliminate the requirement for SSN submittal under the Defense Integrated Military Human Resource System (DIHMHRS) program. Until that system is introduced, and to ensure the correct filing of reports, OMPF documents submitted without the full SSN are returned to the originating command for resubmission with full SSN. For more information please review the attached NAVADMIN 201/08
