Navy launches individual augmentee Web siteThe U.S. Fleet Forces Command has launched a Web site for sailors deployed as individual augmentees and their families, the Navy announced.

The site, www.ia.navy.mil, provides information on pay and benefits, support networks, emergency services and sailor and family handbooks.

It also offers a selection of videos from sailors who have already completed an augmentee tour. One sailor describes his efforts to teach Afghan children English, while another tells his story of working in a joint environment at the Embassy in Baghdad.

Fitness failures to keep sailors from billetsReserve sailors who have two physical fitness assessment failures in a three year period will no longer qualify for Individual Augmentee Manpower Management billets, according to changes announced last week to the Navy’s physical readiness policy.

Also, all "progress waivers" which were issued to sailors who failed a previous physical readiness test will expire Dec. 31. Those sailors on waivers who have three failures in the most recent four-year period, will be separated, according to a Navy message.

The message said the only exception is if a sailor receives a "readiness waiver," meaning their skill sets are vital to current command mission accomplishment.
