Soon, sailors will have one way to submit leave chits – electronically. The Navy plans to do away with the traditional paper leave chits. Once in place, a new electronic system will allow sailors to quickly submit leave chits up the chain of command. Shore-based implementation will begin in August; with shipboard commands phased in during the next two-year period. Sailors who have not yet established an electronic self-service electronic service record may do so at https://nsips.nmci.navy.mil or on shipboard NSIPS server. More details are available on the Navy Personnel Center Web site, http://www.npc.navy.mil/Channels/, in NAVADMIN 043/09.
