The Navy plans to will <\/span>shutter nearly all of it‘<\/span>s Navy College offices in the continental U.S. by October 2016 in a huge reorganization that officials say will save money and still preserve customer service. the end of next fiscal year if a current budget proposal, details of which were obtained by Navy Times and confirmed as authentic \u2014 gets final approval and is included in the Navy’s fiscal 2017 budget.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navy officials have proposed closing most of the 33 offices in the continental U.S. and would shift most educational services processing and help to a hotline and website. But officials stress that this move won’t impact tuition assistance or other education benefits, only how you sign up for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a May 27 email to Navy voluntary education staff members, Capt. Janet Lomax, commanding officer of the Pensalola-based Naval Education and Training Professional Development and Technology Center said that an initial look at the fiscal 2017 budget “indicates funding for labor in VOLED will be significantly reduced starting in FY17,” she said. “The mark is against CONUS based Navy College Offices.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means, if finally approved, most of the remaining Navy College Offices around the United States would close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The total impact of any possible closures of Navy College Offices obviously has yet to be seen, but here’s a look at <\/span>What you need to know: now.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Revamp underway<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Navy’s training establishment is in the middle of a reorganization in the wake of the announcement by the Chief of Naval Personnel, Vice Adm. Bill Moran that the service would revamp it’s training <\/span>to focus more on the fleet and <\/span>reduce initial training pipelines and build more robust, career long training hat will mostly happen <\/span>in fleet concentration areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This costs money and <\/span>Officials are looking for what <\/span>every possible place to consolidate and save money to fund the new training. However, Navy officials are <\/span>denying<\/span>the <\/span>these cuts are a done deal and as such say the proposals are in the early stages of discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“All [Program Objective Memorandum 2017] POM17 <\/span>proposals are pre-decisional at this point and no final decisions have been made,” said Lt. Cmdr. Kate Meadows, spokewoman for the <\/span>Naval Education and Training CommandETC<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Navy also plans to close Cuts have already happened with the Navy closing <\/span>the Center for Personal and Professional Development in Dam Neck, Virginia, by which will happen <\/span>Sept. 30, and officials say they are seeking savings across the training domain and more things could see elimination or consolidation in the next few years to pave the way for the future education system<\/span>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Cutting offices and staff<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reality of the the <\/span>proposed cuts in labor costs is this will naturally bring with it then closing offices located on Navy Bases, though Navy officials say the proposals are so early in discussions that there isn’t even a plan in place as to which offices could be on the block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to sources, Capt. Janet Lomax, the head of the Naval Education and Training Professional Development and Technology Center, Capt. Janet Lomax, commanding officer of the Pensalola-based Naval Education and Training Professional Development and Technology Center<\/span>Lomax<\/span> told staff in a <\/span>June phone conference <\/span>that funding <\/span>cuts would eliminate result in <\/span>54 of the Navy’s <\/span>80 Navy College positions being eliminated<\/span>. This means, sources say, that all but two or three of the service’s 33 Navy College offices in CONUS would close. would continental United States would close. <\/span>Most likely, those sources say, <\/span>the remaining offices would be in the largest fleet areas, like areas of largest sailor concentration <\/span>such as Norfolk and San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2010, the service shutteredNavy cut<\/span> 15 Navy College offices at bases worldwide. The cuts, called a consolidation at the time, were necessary to fund the service’s Virtual Education Center, which that <\/span>helps sailors over the phone. with much<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Tuition money on tap<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support may be getting cut, but officials say tuition assistance and Navy College Afloat education benefits are safe. The bottom line up front is the fact Navy officials say the budget cut don’t include any cuts to the tuition assistance or the Navy College Afloat educational benefits. <\/span>“The Navy remains totally committed to funding tuition assistance at the current levels,” Meadows told Navy Times on June 19. The funding is expected to rise from $80 million this year to $89 million next. to are expected to increase slightly next year as the Navy spent $80 million in both fiscal year 2014 and expects to spend the same amount this year as well. In fiscal 2016, the budget request includes $88.84 million for TA.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And budgets are also rising for the Navy Program for Afloat College Education, known in the fleet as NCPACE, which puts instructors and college classes on Navy ships, with nearly $9 million set aside for fiscal 2016. Fiscal 2014, saw the Navy spend $7.75 million and this year, they’ll spend $8.36 million. The fiscal ’16 requested level is $8.71 million.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Closures<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the Navy closed the 15 college offices in 2009 and and <\/span>established the Virtual Education Center, customer traffic in the remaining <\/span>offices has dropped 47 percent, according to NETC data released<\/span> by NETC<\/span>. Overall, there were 130,000 visits to Navy College offices in fiscal 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, at the 33 U.S. Navy College Offices, the statistics say there were 130,000 visits to Navy College Offices nationp-wide in fiscal 2014. Of those roughly 100,000, the statistics show ended up needing actual counseling or assistance at the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will be no effect on any of the 10 overseas offices: Navy College Offices. Currently there are 10 overseas offices that are located at <\/span>Atsugi, Misawa, Sasebo and Yokosuka, Japan; Guam; Bahrain; Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; Rota, Spain; and Sigonella and Naples, Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Distance support<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the Navy does <\/span>pulls the trigger on the closings<\/span>, sailors will be forced at most U.S. bases in the United States <\/span>to go online for most of <\/span>their off-duty educational<\/span>services <\/span>needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Navy College website offers at www.navycollege.navy.mil, officials say has<\/span> many resources, including how to contact the Virtual Education Center, which is open Monday through Friday, 15 hours a each <\/span>day from 6am to 9pm, Eastern time<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the service closes most offices, all of their U.S. Navy College Offices, <\/span>officials say it will most <\/span>likely result in some increase in hours and services through the Virtual Education Center. And the Navy develops a sailor portal, access to these educational benefits and services will also come through that access, too.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fiscal 2014, officials say roughly 55,700 calls and another, 43,600 of those were documented as getting follow-on assistance from the virtual counselors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to both phone and online queries, in fiscal 2014, the center responded to both phone and online queries from sailors with 89,977 tuition assistance emails and another 33,703 emails sent sailors their joint service transcripts. In addition 18,438 emails answered general services inquires and 5,557 were counseling emails sent to advise sailors on specific items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
