Here’s a link to a nice summary article with a link to the full PDF of the report. Keep in mind that it is still unclear if Congress will actually allow DoD to make any of these cuts:

Systems Issues Affecting Record Updates and New Way to Add Degrees to Your OSR
Thanks to all those who contacted me about this issue. This blog and the Promo Prep are truly crowdsourced. Here is the update from PERS:
“Due to recent NSIP/NES/OPINS server issues OSR/ODC updates are not happening until these issues are resolved. There is no estimated repair date at that this time. Any transcript sent since May 2021 is likely to not reflect until this issue is cleared. Please allow additional time for any education updates to reflect while techs continue to troubleshoot, contact MNCC for any updates, and submit Letters to Board if your OSR/ODC hasn’t updated. Please contact My Navy Career Center at ASKMNCC.fct@navy.mil or 1-833-330-6622 for routine business. This includes all matters with transcripts (with the exception of Navy-sponsored programs) and simple education record corrections.”
My takeaways:
- If you can’t fix your record, don’t be surprised.
- If you can’t fix your record, send a letter to the board.
- In order to add degrees to your Officer Summary Record (OSR), send them to the My Navy Career Center (not the Joint Transcript Center). The instructions can be found on this page.
I’ll update the Promo Prep document as soon as I can, probably this weekend.
Asst. Specialty Leader for Aerospace Medicine and Flight Surgery – O4/O5
We are soliciting applications for Assistant Specialty Leader (ASL) for Aerospace Medicine and Flight Surgery to assist in management and oversight of a community of over 270 aviation medicine physicians and previous flight surgeons.

You will liaise with the SL, detailer, residency program director, NAMI, TYCOMs, MAW Surgeons, and BUMED to ensure the community is on track to meet the mission of the Naval Aviation Enterprise and BUMED. Candidates should be board certified in Aerospace Medicine and O4-O5 in rank.
Please email LCDR Eng-Kulawy (contact in the global) by COB 1 OCT 2021 with a CV, Bio, PDFs of your Officer Summary Record (OSR) and Performance Summary Record (PSR), and a letter of intent indicating your desire for selection, prior operational experience, as well as several sentences explaining your desire to fill this role. There are no geographic limitations as the ASL role is a collateral duty. Please contact the current SL if you have any questions about the role of Assistant SL.
