  8. NEC REMOVAL • NAVPERS 1221/6 • Official record reveals member is no longer qualified to retain NEC. • IDC has a documented psychological problem, substance abuse incident, or a substantiated Family Advocacy abuse case where treatment is refused or member is designated not eligible for treatment which adversely reflects on the member’s integrity, professional conduct or moral character. • Note: Such deviations from acceptable behavior or strong moral character may warrant (if retained) removal of the member from a patient care environment, removal of NECs, and forced conversion to an appropriate rating.

  9. NEC REMOVAL • NEC removal “for cause” is recommended and supported by the CO or a command requested NEC removal subsequent to documented incompetency. • An IDC fails to maintain “certification” and the IDC is not assigned/utilized as an IDC for three or more years and there is no opportunity for reassignment to and IDC billet at sea. • An IDC receives disciplinary action by military or civilian authorities for conduct which reflects adversely upon the member’s reliability, integrity, trustworthiness, or moral character.
