This uncovered medical care involves reproductive care and abortion. Those who are authorized for administrative leave would not get charged leave or lose pay. They would be able to use this time to transit to a location to obtain abortions or reproductive care.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b>From USNI News:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The new naval guidance follows that of the Department of Defense, which released its own guidance on Feb. 16. The Pentagon put out the new policies after pledging in October 2022 that it would allow service members to travel out of state to get reproductive health care, including abortions, after the Dobbs v. Jackson Women&#8217;s Health Organization Supreme Court case overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Department of the Navy (DON) is committed to ensuring the health, safety, and well-being of those who serve our country, and their families in an environment of safety, privacy, and respect. Our Sailors, Marines, and their families are often required to travel or relocate their households to meet our staffing, operational, and training requirements,&#8221; according to ALNAV 18\/23.<\/p>\n<p>Under the guidance, sailors and Marines who are on active-duty for at least 30 days can request administrative leave for non-covered reproductive health care and will not be charged with leave or loss of pay. A sailor or Marine may also accompany a dual-military spouse or dependent who receives care through administrative leave.<\/p>\n<p>Administrative leave can be requested for up to 21 days, according to the ALNAV. If a person ultimately decides to not have an abortion or other non-covered reproductive health care, the sailor or Marine will not be charged for the time off.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The period of absence will be limited to the minimum number of days essential to receive the required care and travel needed to access the care by the most expeditious means of transportation practicable,&#8221; according to the ALNAV. &#8220;COs will limit health information required to the minimum amount necessary to ensure eligibility and be reasonably sure the duration of the time authorized meets this criteria.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>USNI News has the rest of the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.usni.org\/2023\/03\/02\/navy-lays-out-new-policy-for-21-day-administrative-leave-for-abortion-and-reproductive-care\">story<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Department of the Navy laid out a policy that would accommodate Sailors and Marines in &hellip; <a title=\"Navy lays out policy for 21-day administrative leave for abortion and reproductive care\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=138025\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Navy lays out policy for 21-day administrative leave for abortion and reproductive care<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":661,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[84,119],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-138025","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-military-issues","category-navy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138025","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/661"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=138025"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138025\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=138025"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=138025"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=138025"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
