Navy SkillBridge.
NAVADMIN 064/23 (March 2023) is the current authoritative Navy SkillBridge policy and remains operative as of 2026. The Navy uses a four-tier rank-based cap that gives E5 and below the most generous treatment of any service (180 days), while O5 and above are limited to 90. Email registration is gone — applications must go through MyNavy Education.

How approval works
The Navy is explicit: "SkillBridge is not an entitlement and participation does impact readiness." Approval is per command and contingent on operational needs. Sailors must register and apply via the MyNavy Education portal at myeducation.netc.navy.mil — email-based applications are no longer accepted. For policy clarification, the Navy's official contact is navy_skillbridge.fct@navy.mil or (703) 604-5310.
One documentation gap worth flagging: the policy has been promulgated through two NAVADMINs and has not been formally codified into an OPNAVINST or MILPERSMAN entry. NAVADMIN 064/23 remains the controlling source, but expect periodic updates.
