11. 11 Navy TA Requirements  Navy has focused Sailor use of TA through policy changes and management controls: Pass most recent Physical Fitness Assessment Pass most recent rating exam Not in a Duty Under Instruction status Recommended for promotion No Non-Judicial Punishment in last six months Allowing TA funding for only one degree at each level No funding for Continuing Education Units Approved degree plan prior to TA authorization Sailors must serve one year at their first permanent duty station
