An Official US Navy mobile application, produced by the Navy PMW 240 Program Welcome to the Navy! The New to the Navy mobile application is for those Sailors (Enlisted and Officers) who are fresh out of Boot Camp or Officer Candidate School and ready to report to their first command. In addition, this application provides important information to aid the transition from civilian to military spouse. The app is a Navy Pay and Personnel subset of the Career Life Events (CLE) information found on My Navy Portal (MNP) soon to be released in 2017 and answers common questions new Sailors may have on pay and personnel matters as they transfer to a school or to their duty station.
