Good morning CAPT Schofer,
Hope your day is beginning well. I’m a family doc in Naples, and my wife Amanda is due in late January. Per the 2022 NDAA, 12 weeks of secondary caregiver leave is supposed to take effect by December 27th 2022 (1 year to the day after President Biden signed it into law). However, the instruction was last updated in February 2022 (increasing secondary caregiver leave to 3 weeks from 2 weeks). Do you know who I should speak with in regards to when the instruction will be updated to reflect the new changes?
I really appreciate any guidance you can provide, and I know that you are very busy.

No clue. Sorry. You could call the My Navy Career Center and ask, or you could contact the MC Chief’s Office. They might be able to look into it. CDR Jennifer Eng-Kulawy is the MC Policy/Practice Officer (contact in the global).
