What action should a command take when it lacks approved Navy Standard Integration Personnel System Electronic Service Record access?

The correct action when a command lacks approved access to the Navy Standard Integration Personnel System Electronic Service Record is to manually complete the approved NAVPERS form from the NPC website. This approach ensures that personnel records and necessary documentation are maintained accurately and without delay, even when electronic access is unavailable. By completing the NAVPERS form, the command is still able to fulfill its requirements for record-keeping and personnel management.

Completing the form manually is a direct response that enables continuity in documenting personnel information. It provides a tangible solution that maintains compliance with military documentation standards, allowing the command to remain proactive in personnel management even amidst technical limitations.

Other options, while they may have reasonable validity in different contexts, do not address the immediate need for documentation as effectively. For instance, requesting access from higher command may lead to delays in processing, and submitting a request to the Personnel Office, while practical, may not yield immediate results. Postponing documentation is not a viable option as it risks potential issues in personnel management that could arise from incomplete records.
