General Information:

Except for designated maintenance periods, MNA is available 24/7 for users to log in,

but not all capabilities are available at all times. Sailors can view their Personnel Detail

page or update their contact information whenever the system allows them to log in, but

they can view jobs and submit applications only during a specified period each month.

System status indicators on the login page and under the menu display the system’s

current phase. To plan your use of MNA, consult the Active/FTS or Reserve Schedule

that is displayed on the User Profile, which is accessible from the Home menu. Sailors

can also update contact information on their Personnel Detail page. However, the other

information on your Personnel Detail page cannot be edited in MNA—not even by the

data.

If any of the non-editable information in your Personnel Detail or professional history is

incorrect, consult your Career Counselor, local Personnel Office, or servicing Personnel

Support Detachment for guidance on having the corrections made in the appropriate

system.
