Electronic Service Record, Navy seeks 100 Percent
Release Date: 11/19/2009
By Navy Personnel Command Public Affairs
MILLINGTON, Tenn. - As the Navy moves forward with plans to eliminate the enlisted field service record more than 130,000 Sailors need to establish a self-service account that will allow them to access to their new digital record.
"The elimination of the Enlisted Field Service Record will begin in January 2010,"said Art Tate, NSIPS/ESR/CIMS Implementation Manager. "Once the paper record disappears, they will have to create an ESR (electronic service record) account if they wish to see what is in their record."
This move follows the action already taken for officers. The Navy eliminated the officer field service record in 2000. The Navy eliminated the officer field service record in 2000 and has already closed-out some enlisted field service records for Sailors in Millington, Tenn. and other test locations.
"I don't miss the paper record. It is easier to access it on-line, right from my desk. I don't even have to go anywhere," said Chief Navy Counselor (AW) Kelly Strickland, command career counselor at Navy Personnel Command. Strickland has logged-on to her ESR to verify her dependent's data and confirm classes she has completed have been entered in her record.
Chief of Naval Personnel announced the requirement for all active-duty and Reserve personnel to establish and maintain a self-service ESR early this year. These accounts will allow Sailors to review all personnel, training, and awards data by choosing in the view section of the ESR. Sailors also have limited self-service update capability.
The Navy first announced the implementation of the ESR in 2006 with NAVADMIN 292/06.
Self-service accounts can be created at https://nsips.nmci.navy.mil or on the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS)/ESR server on board ships.
NAVADMIN 043/09 directs all commands to use NSIPS/ESR as the single field level data entry point for all Sailors.
Commanding officers, executive officers and command master chiefs can obtain command-level view only access by completing the NSIPS/ESR system authorization request and contacting their local NSIPS area manager. This access provides the user view only capability for all ESR accounts within their UIC(s).
All commands responsible for service record entries are required to initiate updates in NSIPS/ESR; however official military personnel file requirements remain unchanged.
Sailors are ultimately responsible for the accuracy of their ESR and must contact the servicing personnel office if any information is incorrect.

MILITARY SPOUSES RESIDENCY RELIEF ACT
The White House
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
November 11, 2009
Statement by the President on S.475
Today I have signed into law S. 475, the "Military Spouses Residency Relief Act". This Act, among other things, would provide that when a service member leaves his or her home State in accord with military or naval orders, the service member's spouse may retain residency in his or her home State for voting and tax purposes, after relocating from that State to accompany the service member.
When the military orders service members to move, spouses who move with them often have to pay taxes in a new State or locality and lose the right to vote in the place considered to be home. This legislation will alleviate these and other burdens on our military families. As the Congress has recognized, and as the legislative history reflects, this legislation is an important means of maintaining the morale and readiness of our Armed Forces and significantly enhances the ability of our military to effectively recruit and retain these highly valued service personnel.
