1. Has the member or his or her dependent(s) previously been reassigned, prior to normal tour completion, due to unsuitability?
2. (For Enlisted Personnel) Has member obligated for the prescribed DOD tour? If "NO", member is unsuitable. NAVPERS 1070/613 entries for OBLISERV are prohibited.

Officers and enlisted personnel who REQUEST to separate/retire will be held to the DOD tour length.
Indebtedness and debt-to-income (DTI) ratio

Box 3.a (E-5 and above) Does the member, spouse, or family member(s) have serious problems of indebtedness, credit loss, or other financial problems which have not been reconciled with creditor(s) or interested parties?
Box 3.b (E-4 and below) Member must complete debt-to-income (DTI) ratio screening per OPNAVINST 1740.5D. Do not calculate the spouse's income unless guaranteed employment at the overseas location has been obtained. Is the DTI ratio 30% or greater?
Criminal offense, sex offense, illegal drugs or alcohol

4. Has the member or his or her dependent(s) been convicted of any criminal offense (civilian or military) within the last 24 months or has/had any involvement in an ongoing criminal action?
5. Has the member or his or her dependent(s) been convicted of a sex offense? Information regarding whether a person is a sex offender may be found at Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Web site (NSOPW) at www.nsopw.gov.
6. Does the member or his or her dependent(s) have a record of any involvement with illegal drugs or alcohol within the past 24 months? Successful completion of an aftercare program will qualify the member and the question can be answered NO. A waiver of aftercare program does not quality the member; answer YES.
Family Advocacy Program (FAP), spouse, PFAs

7. Is the member or his or her dependent(s) involved in an open Family Advocacy Program (FAP) case that is still under investigation or for which treatment was refused or is still ongoing? (If a local FAP representative is not available to provide a status of FAP issues, contact the Commander Navy Installation Command (CNIC) Lead of Case Management Section for FAP, at (901) 874-4361, DSN 882-4361, for this endorsement.). If the CO still wishes to request a waiver, the gaining command and fleet and family support center (FFSC) must support the waiver request.
8. Was the member's spouse previously a member of the Military Services and was the characterization of separation "Other than Honorable"? Explain in the remarks section.
9. Has member failed two or more PFAs in a 3-year period? If yes, comply with OPNAVINST 6110.1H and most recent NAVADMIN which govern Physical Readiness Program.
Custody agreement

10. Are any of the member's dependents covered in a custody agreement? If "NO" or "N/A", go to question 12.
a. Does agreement prevent removal of family members from continental United States (CONUS) without prior court approval or agreement between the interested parties? If "NO", go to question 12.
b. Has member obtained prior court approval of requisite agreement from other interested party for removal of family members from CONUS, if required by State law? (Navy policy does not require a separate agreement if not required by State law.)
Family Care Plan, performance, training, foreign national

11. Single parents/military couples with family members. Is there any reason why the Family Care Plan cannot be executed or is not per OPNAVINST 1740.4D?
NOTE: While the unique situation of single parents with dependents is not disqualifying, this fact should be noted in the remarks.
Box 12 Does member have a history of unsatisfactory or below standard performance (any mark below 3.0) or any NJPs in the last 2 years? Mark No or Yes.
13. Has the member and his or her adult dependents received "Level I" Anti-terrorism Force Protection (Level III for 0-5/0-6 Commanding Officer Awareness) training, prior to transfer, and has it been recorded on NAVPERS 1070/613?

Personnel E-3 and below: counseled and understand
Box 15: FOR PERSONNEL E-3 AND BELOW: Ensure the member has been counseled and understand he or she cannot be assigned accompanied overseas duty; for box 15, E-3 and below members will be assigned unaccompanied duty based on readiness needs. Acquiring family member(s) en route and bringing them without dependent entry approval/command sponsorship will most likely result in return to CONUS at his or her expense, and the Service member will complete the tour unaccompanied. Box 15, I have been counseled on the above statement and understand. Member's Signature:
