Opportunities for Enlisted Women in Submarines Thanks for all the support through the last selection cycle last year This year – marketing focus is going to be more based on career counselor networking We need your help to spread the word to your commands Women from other communities have the opportunity to convert into the submarine force We need women from all ranks and in all rates (want a distribution of female conversion Sailors across all rates and ranks on each Submarine) Conversions will serve as mentors to our more junior Sailors

Where we are today… Integrated 2 OHIO Class submarines (4 crews) with enlisted women Completing missions in every theater around the world Next submarine to begin integration this fall Committed to integrating VA-Class (fast attack) submarines starting 2021 Have already integrated USS MICHIGAN (Bangor, WA) and USS FLORIDA (Kings Bay, GA) USS OHIO will begin integration with enlisted women starting this fall (last selection cycle’s Sailors) MICHIGAN and FLORIDA have deployed with integrated crews and are completing missions around the world This summer, committed to integrating first two VIRGINIA class submarines USS NEW JERSEY, USS IOWA Will begin integration with officers in 2021, enlisted will follow Women will then have the ability to serve on all submarines platforms and complete all submarine missions

What’s the plan for enlisted women? Modify SSGN/SSBNs Integrate 14 crews total (12 OHIO Class crews, 2 VA Class crews) Integrate SSNs with VA submarines (built to accommodate female enlisted) following officer integration Crew composition Two CPOs from (YN/CS/LS/HM(IDC)/IT) 17 E6 and below (From any rate, into any non-nuclear rate) 10 new accession Sailors (nuclear and non-nuclear) Target 20% female crew (~32 women/crew) Modifying SSGN and SSBNs to accommodate enlisted women (this is what drives the order we are integrating boats) Plan is to integrate 8 total submarines (6 OHIO Class with 12 crews, and 2 VA Class boats) Crew composition Each integrated crew will consist of the following: (32 women/crew, which equates to about 20% of the crew) 3-5 female officers 2 female CPOs from following rates (YN/CS/LS/HM(IDC)/IT) 17 E-6 and below conversion Sailors (from any rate in current community to ANY non-nuclear submarine rating) Doesn’t matter if technical/non-technical, just need to qualify in ASVAB score 10 new accession Sailors (4 non nuclear, 4 new nuclear, 2 nuclear JSIs) Selection cycle for conversion Sailors will select 4 CPOs, 34 E-6 and below conversions What’s the plan for enlisted women?

Why submarines? Submarine Culture Dual crew submarines Missions Well trained, team oriented Dual crew submarines Time at sea Facilities Missions Advancement Opportunities Sub Pay Submarine Culture Dual crew submarines Two complete crews that time share with the boat (allows the submarines to have a high op-tempo without overstressing a crew) When in off crew (other crew is out to sea with the boat), good time for school and family time, don’t stand duty, etc Great facilities on bases Schedule for OHIO Class – 3-4 months at sea, quick refit upkeep period, other crew out to sea for 3-4 months Advancement Submarine Force usually advances well (part of our culture provides junior Sailors with the ability to do jobs well above paygrade) Sub Pay Don’t lose on shore as long as you are still qualified to go back to sea
