Special release from Navy Personnel Command
WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Due to the destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina, the JASS Career Management System (JCMS) servers located at the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, New Orleans, are currently offline. The estimated time for restoration is unknown.
Because the outage is affecting the Aug. 23-31 application cycle, current applications cannot be reviewed. Sailors who submitted applications this cycle or who are less than six months from their PRD are encouraged to contact their detailer prior to 12 p.m. CDT Sept. 2.
Navy Personnel Command, as well as other major manpower claimants, has shifted to manual mode of operations with regard to distribution and orders negotiating until the damage can be fully assessed and repairs can be completed, as needed.
Commencing with the Sept. 7 application cycle and until further notice, Sailors must contact their respective detailer to submit verbal applications.
For Assignment Incentive Pay billets, Sailors must contact Joseph Ferdinand at (901) 874-3545 (DSN 882-3545) or via email at joseph.ferdinand@navy.mil.
All policies regarding the orders negotiating process remain in effect. The current schedule can be viewed at www.npc.navy.mil/enlisted/JASS.
Futher information will be provided when it becomes available.
