Not checking the accuracy of personal information. The member's name, date, and number of dependents must be accurately reflected as these details are foundational for the suitability review.
Providing incorrect or outdated Ship/Station and UIC information. It's essential to verify and enter the current assignment and Unit Identification Code.

Documents used along the form

When preparing for an overseas assignment or transfer within the United States Navy, the NAVPERS 1300/16 form, also known as the Report of Suitability for Overseas Assignments, is a crucial document. However, it's not the only form that service members might need to complete. Several other forms and documents are often used in conjunction with the NAVPERS 1300/16 to ensure a comprehensive review of the service member's and their dependents' suitability for overseas duty. Below is a list and brief descriptions of these commonly required forms and documents.

NAVMED 1300/1 Medical, Dental, and Educational Suitability Screening for Service and Family Members: This form is essential for screening the medical, dental, and educational suitability of service members and their dependents for overseas or remote duty assignments. It ensures that the overseas duty station can accommodate any special medical or educational needs.
DD Form 1172-2 Application for Identification Card/DEERS Enrollment: Required for the enrollment of dependents in DEERS (Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System) to obtain a military ID card. This is crucial for accessing healthcare and other benefits.
OPNAVINST 1740.4D Family Care Plan: Essential for single parents or dual-military couples with dependents, this plan outlines care arrangements for dependents during the service member's absence due to deployment, temporary duty, or unaccompanied tours.
NAVPERS 1070/613 Administrative Remarks: This form is utilized to document administrative remarks that may include the service member's acknowledgment of obligations, such as required service duration or changes in service status.
DD Form 2792 Family Member Medical Summary and DD Form 2792-1 Special Education/Early Intervention Summary: These forms are parts of the Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) Enrollment process, documenting medical and educational needs that could affect the family's assignment coordination.
NAVPERS 1336/3 Special Request/Authorization: Often used for various personal requests by the service member, including but not limited to, leave, transfer, and training requests.

Each of these forms plays a vital role in ensuring that both the service member and their family are fully prepared and suitable for their new assignment, addressing every aspect from medical needs and educational support to official DoD identification and specialized care plans. It's always recommended to start the process early and seek guidance from command or personnel offices to ensure all requirements are met efficiently.

Similar forms

The DD Form 2807-1, "Report of Medical History," shares similarities with the NAVPERS 1300/16 in its function of collecting health-related information to assess an individual’s fitness. While the NAVPERS 1300/16 focuses on suitability for overseas assignments, including both medical and other considerations (such as financial stability and criminal history), the DD 2807-1 specifically gathers a comprehensive medical history. This detailed medical information aids in making informed decisions about an individual's ability to safely and effectively serve, particularly in environments that may pose unique health risks or have limited medical support.
The DD Form 2648, "Pre-separation Counseling Checklist," although designed for a different purpose, parallels the NAVPERS 1300/16 in its comprehensive approach to preparation. The DD 2648 is used to ensure that service members are fully briefed on benefits, resources, and rights as they transition out of the military. Like the NAVPERS 1300/16, which prepares members for overseas assignments by evaluating a range of suitability factors, the DD 2648 addresses various aspects of a service member's life and future, ensuring they are prepared for the next stage.
The NAVMED 1300/1, "Medical, Dental, and Educational Suitability Screening for Service and Family Members," directly relates to the NAVPERS 1300/16 as its completion is a prerequisite for the latter. This form assesses the medical, dental, and educational needs of service members and their families to ensure that the receiving overseas location can accommodate them. It's a more focused document that, when combined with the broader considerations of the NAVPERS 1300/16, contributes to a thorough review of an individual's overall readiness for overseas service.
The DD Form 1172-2, "Application for Identification Card/DEERS Enrollment," though primarily used for administrative identification and benefits eligibility, shares a procedural connection with the NAVPERS 1300/16 through its role in managing the affairs of military personnel and their families. This form enrolls family members in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) and issues the necessary identification for access to military services and facilities. The process ensures dependents are properly documented and supported, much like the NAVPERS 1300/16's goal of verifying the suitability of service members and their families for overseas assignments and ensuring their needs are met.

Dos and Don'ts

Filling out the NAVPERS 1300/16 form, known as the Report of Suitability for Overseas Assignments, requires careful attention to detail and thoroughness. Below are lists of Dos and Don'ts to guide individuals through the process effectively:

Do:

Ensure all personal information is accurate and up-to-date, including the member's name, date, number of dependents, and present ship/station.
Review the entire form before starting to fill it out to understand all the requirements and questions thoroughly.
Respond truthfully to all questions regarding previous assignments, financial situations, health issues, and any legal matters, as this information is critical for evaluating suitability for overseas duty.
Consult with appropriate departments or officials for questions that require additional information or clarification, such as financial counselors for indebtedness issues, medical personnel for health-related questions, and legal advisors for questions concerning legal matters.
Carefully read and understand the privacy statement and the consequences of not providing mandatory information, as failure to comply may result in delays or disapproval of the request.

Don't:

Leave any required fields blank. If a question does not apply, make sure to mark it accordingly (e.g., "N/A" for not applicable) instead of leaving it empty.
Attempt to hide or falsify information about past financial issues, health problems, or legal convictions. Dishonesty may lead to severe consequences, including disciplinary action under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).
Forget to obtain the necessary waivers or endorsements before proceeding to Part II of the form, as these are crucial for the completion of the suitability review process.
Ignore the instructions regarding the handling of sensitive information, such as medical or personal data, to ensure privacy and compliance with regulations.
Overlook the need for comprehensive review by the Commanding Officer or Medical Treatment Facility Officials (for Part III and IV), as their endorsement is essential for the final decision on overseas assignment suitability.

Misconceptions

When discussing the NAVPERS 1300/16 form, "REPORT OF SUITABILITY FOR OVERSEAS ASSIGNMENTS," numerous misconceptions can arise due to its complexity and the specific requirements it entails. Clearing up these misunderstandings ensures individuals are better prepared and informed about the realities of submitting this form for overseas duty assignments.

Only applies to enlisted service members: A common misconception is that the NAVPERS 1300/16 form is exclusively used for enlisted personnel. In reality, this form applies to both officers and enlisted members of the Navy. Its purpose is broad, assessing suitability for overseas assignments for all service members, regardless of rank.
Automatic disqualification for past offenses: Many believe that any past criminal offense or involvement with illegal substances directly results in disqualification for overseas assignment. The truth is, certain conditions, such as successful completion of an aftercare program for substance abuse, can alter the outcome, enabling members to be deemed suitable.
Financial issues are overlooked: Some individuals assume that financial problems do not impact suitability for overseas duty. However, the form explicitly requires an assessment of financial stability, including indebtedness and credit loss, particularly for rankings E-5 and above. A high debt-to-income ratio for E-4 and below can also render a member unsuitable.
Sex offender status is not checked: Another incorrect assumption is that the NAVPERS 1300/16 form does not consider whether a service member or their dependents have been convicted as sex offenders. Contrary to this belief, the form requires checks against the Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Website (NSOPW) for both the member and their dependents.
Family members' history is irrelevant: There's a misunderstanding that only the service member's conduct and history are evaluated. In fact, the suitability review also encompasses the spouse and dependents, including any criminal offenses or involvement in Family Advocacy Program (FAP) cases.
Single parents and military couples are exempt: The belief that single parents or military couples with dependents are exempt from overseas assignments is not accurate. While their unique situation requires a family care plan, it does not automatically disqualify them from being assigned overseas.
Completing the form guarantees overseas assignment: Finally, a major misconception is that filling out and meeting the criteria on the NAVPERS 1300/16 form guarantees overseas assignment. The truth is, numerous factors, including command needs and specific roles, ultimately determine assignment suitability and approval.

Addressing these misconceptions about the NAVPERS 1300/16 provides clarity and enhances understanding among service members and their families, contributing to a smoother preparation process for potential overseas assignments.
