SUBJ/CALENDAR YEAR 2023 NAVY LEGISLATIVE FELLOWSHIP CALL FOR APPLICATIONS//
REF/A/DOC/BUPERS/17DEC12//
AMPN/BUPERSINST 1560.21F, Navy Legislative Fellowship Program.//
Rmks/1. This NAVADMIN solicits applications for the 2023 Navy Legislative
Fellows Program. The Legislative Fellows Program allows naval officers,
senior enlisted and Department of the Navy civilians to broaden their
understanding of the legislative process and the operation of the U.S.
Congress through a year-long full-time assignment to the office of a member
of the House of Representatives or the Senate. The Legislative Fellows
Program also enhances the ability of the Navy to fulfill its role in the
national policy development process.
2. This is a highly competitive program. Records must reflect sustained
superior performance and potential for future assignments in critical
billets. Upon completion of the program, officers earn the legislative
fellowship Additional Qualification Designation (AQD 234).
3. Military Applicants. Participation is open to all Active Duty and Full-
Time Support unrestricted line, restricted line and staff corps officers in
the permanent grades of O-3 through O-5. Enlisted participation is open to
all Active Duty Navy occupational specialty codes in the permanent grades of
E-7 through E-9. The selection process will focus on individual performance,
promotion potential, academic and subspecialty qualifications, and needs of
the Navy and availability for follow-on assignment. Officers with permanent
change of station orders already issued will not be considered.
a. Applicants must be available for permanent change of station
assignment to Washington, DC, from November 2022 through December 2023.
During the fellowship, officers and senior enlisted Sailors will be assigned
to the Office of Legislative Affairs for administrative purposes. Upon
execution of orders, fellows agree to serve for three years following
completion or termination of the fellowship. A follow-on utilization tour in
legislative affairs is dependent on community-specific billet requirements,
needed officer progression and availability of legislative assignments. All
officer applicants must contact their detailers for counseling on the career
impact of participation in the Legislative Fellowship Program.
b. Submit applications via e-mail to the Office of Legislative Affairs
point of contact no later than 01 April 2022.

Abbreviated Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Military Members
The Workplace and Gender Relations (WGR) Survey of Military Members (Active and Reserve) is open! Feedback from the survey drives Navy policy, programs, resourcing, and training that impacts all Navy services members. An abbreviated survey is available for any military member (takes ~5 minutes).
· Go to DoDsurveys.mil to start the survey
A few important notes:
· The WGR Survey provides DoD with, among other things, official prevalence estimates for prior year sexual assault, sexual harassment, and gender discrimination in the military. The survey also provides important insight into service member perceptions of gender equality, command climate issues, and resilience. Feedback from this survey drives Navy policy, programs, resourcing, and training that impact all Navy service members.
- We need every Sailor to help inform workplace and gender relations.
- Go to DoDsurveys.mil to start the survey. Logging into the survey requires members to enter their DoDID and day (number) of birth. This ensures the survey is only taken one time.
- Remember this is used to set DoD and then DON and finally OPNAV policy.
- This survey has not been done since 2018 and will not be done again for two years. We have to energize every Sailor to participate in this survey.
- Go to DoDsurveys.mil to start the survey.

State of the Blog at the Beginning of 2022
Here is the annual blog post detailing the state of the blog as of the beginning of 2022.
Financial Report
Blog Profit = $135 loss!
As you probably realize, I pay for this and make no money from it, which is undoubtedly what has allowed me to keep doing this.
Blog Traffic
As of 12/30/21, we have just over 1,051,000 page views. Here is the blog traffic as measured by page views since I started it in 2015. See a pattern? In 2021, we topped out at over 311,000 views.
I get most referred traffic from Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and the StudentDoctor.net forum, in that order. The distant 5th is a link to my bog from Reddit, and I haven’t really figured out where the blog is mentioned or linked to on that platform.
