 Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Pet Officer James Stilpeck. The Navy is now opening the door for enlisted women to join the submarine force. CNO detailed the Enlisted Women Integration Plan in a recent NAV admin, 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 aboard Ohio-class submarines, and later aboard 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. For more information about female integration aboard submarines, visit navy.mil.
