When is a special employee review required regardless of the time since the last employee review?

• A. On the date the member is awarded NJP or Convicted by a court martial.
• B. On the member's next birthday.
• C. Immediately upon assignment to a new duty station.
• D. At the end of the calendar year.

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that certain disciplinary actions automatically trigger a special employee review, no matter when the last review happened. When a member is awarded nonjudicial punishment or convicted by a court-martial, there is a potential impact on trust, character, and eligibility for sensitive duties or security clearances. Because those actions reflect changes in status that can affect ongoing responsibilities, the special review must occur on that specific date to reevaluate duties, access, or suitability.

Birthdays, a new duty station, or the end of the calendar year do not inherently signal a change in trustworthiness or eligibility that would mandate an immediate special review, so they aren’t triggers for this action.
