What this publication covers

This instruction serves as the fundamental information source for Active Component (AC) and Reserve Component (RC) personnel regarding FLPB and prescribes individual and command responsibilities relative to the program. b. There are several major changes in this instruction revision. (1) Introduces an explicit caution that the FLPB is a special pay, subject to change or disco ntinuation, and, as such, should not be counted on as a consistent source of income. (2) Provides greater detail on the FLPB administration and executi on processes. (3) Navy-established FLPB criteria are listed as possible practices vice standard policies so Navy may employ these practices to shape language capacity, but retain the flexibility to adjust the policy as necessary to support mission requirements.
