This leaves ETS&#8217;ing sailors in limbo and unable to do things like move or acquire medical coverage. In an interview, Rear Adm. Stuart Satterwhite, the head of MyNavy Career Center promised to get it handled by the end of September. A little skepticism was expressed then:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>For sailors who have or are about to start their separation, the Navy\u2019s pay boss offered hope. Satterwhite promised that \u201cin the next few weeks,\u201d the backlog of DD-214s &#8212; the crucial record the civilian world uses to verify service &#8212; will get to the point where they are being issued before sailors get out of the Navy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will tell you that we will get to the point where we will deliver these ahead of [separation],\u201d Satterwhite promised.<\/p>\n<p>But the issue with this one form is somewhat emblematic of the larger struggle that the Navy has put itself in by revamping the sprawling and outdated system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we look at our DD-214s right now, I&#8217;m tracking this on a spreadsheet because our IT system doesn&#8217;t tell me the information I need,\u201d Satterwhite explained.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/apologize-navy-pay-boss-says-192535616.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall\">Military.com via Yahoo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>At least Excel is reliable.
