A new Navy policy issued Nov. 5 makes certain nuclear-qualified
Sailors eligible for Enlisted Supervisor Retention Pay (ESRP)
of up to $100,000 if they re-enlist and hold one of the
following NECs: 3363, 3364, 3365, 3366, 3393, 3394, 3395 and
3396. To qualify, they must be at least an E-6 and be in
re-enlistment Zone C (have between 10 and 16 years of active
service). Under the policy, outlined in NavAdmin 253/4, half
the ESRP will be paid up front, and the rest will be paid in
equal annual installments during the remainder of the
contract. The full amount will be determined by a mathematical
formula of base pay, the number of months of the re-enlistment,
and a multiple assigned the skill. The total amount of
re-enlistment bonuses during a career is capped at $200,000.
ESRP replaces the Selective Re-enlistment Bonus for eligible
Sailors.
