 Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Ian Cotter. The deputy commander for the Enlisted Women in Submarines Task Force recently led a road show to encourage E1 to E8 enlisted females to join the submarine force. CNO recently detailed the Enlisted Women Integration Plan, opening submarine force billets to enlisted women. According to the plan, all submarine ratings and Navy enlisted classification codes will open to enlisted women in fiscal year 2015. The integration will be completed in two phases. The first abort Ohio-class submarines, and later abort Virginia-class attack submarines. Female officers have already been serving aboard submarines since 2011, and introducing enlisted females is the next step in creating a fully integrated submarine force. For eligible rates, pay grades and conversions, check out the new NAV admins on the NPC website.
