Navy Quick Links is the directory of links inside MyNavy Portal (MNP), the US Navy's self-service website for Sailors' personnel, training and education tools. It gathers hundreds of direct links to Navy systems in one place. Many of them need a Common Access Card (CAC) or a multi-factor login to open. Here is what Quick Links is, how to reach it safely and how it differs from similarly named military tools.
Navy Quick Links, quick answer:
- What it is: a searchable list of links to Navy personnel, pay, training and career tools inside MyNavy Portal.
- Official address: MyNavy Portal is hosted at mn3p.navy.mil. Quick Links is at mn3p.navy.mil/quick-links, with a "Quick Links Classic" fallback.
- Login: links marked with a lock icon require CAC or a supported multi-factor login.
- Safety: only use addresses ending in .mil. The old my.navy.mil address no longer works.
What Is MyNavy Portal?
MyNavy Portal (MNP) was created to bring Sailors' personnel, training and education websites together into one self-service site. In 2017 it ran at my.navy.mil and was managed by the Navy's Sea Warrior Program Office. A Navy story on the 2017 redesign noted that the "Quick Links" and "About MNP" pages had been redesigned to be more user-friendly.
The portal has since moved. The old my.navy.mil address returned a "not found" error when we checked on November 9, 2026, and MyNavy Portal now runs at mn3p.navy.mil.
What Is in Navy Quick Links?
Quick Links is a central directory of links to tools Sailors use regularly. Official descriptions call it a hub for "hundreds of direct links to tools and resources for Navy personnel". Depending on your role and access, it typically points to:
- Personnel and career records
- Pay and leave tools
- Training and education systems
- Advancement and assignment resources
- Forms, instructions and help desks
Links are listed alphabetically and can be searched. A lock icon marks links that require you to log in.
How to Access Navy Quick Links Safely
- Type the address yourself: go to mn3p.navy.mil rather than clicking links in emails or ads.
- Check the domain: official Navy sites end in .mil. Be wary of lookalike pages on .com or .net domains that copy portal guides.
- Open Quick Links: use the Quick Links page. If it is unavailable, try "Quick Links Classic", which MNP provides as a fallback.
- Log in when prompted: locked links require a CAC. MNP has also introduced options to sign in on mobile with multi-factor authentication instead of a CAC.
If a link fails, check MNP's maintenance notices or contact the Navy help desk listed on the portal. Do not enter your CAC PIN or credentials on a site that is not a .mil address.
MyNavy Portal vs MyNavy HR
These are easy to confuse. MyNavy HR (mynavyhr.navy.mil) is Navy Personnel Command's public website, which launched on February 15, 2021 to replace the old NPC website. It also has "quick links" on its homepage, mostly to policies and information. MyNavy Portal is the logged-in self-service site where Sailors manage their own records and tools.
Navy Quick Links vs DLA ASSIST QuickSearch
People searching for "quicklinks" sometimes land on a different military tool. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) runs ASSIST-QuickSearch, a public search engine for military specifications and standards. Its full database, ASSIST, describes itself as a "Database for Military Specifications and Military Standards" and requires an account or CAC login. These tools are for engineers and contractors working with specifications, not for Sailors' personnel records.
| Tool | Run by | Used for | Login |
|---|---|---|---|
| Navy Quick Links (MyNavy Portal) | US Navy | Links to Sailor personnel, pay, training and career tools | CAC or multi-factor for locked links |
| MyNavy HR | Navy Personnel Command | Public personnel policy and information | Mostly public |
| ASSIST-QuickSearch | Defense Logistics Agency | Searching military specifications and standards | None for basic search |
Common Navy Quick Links Problems
- "Page not found" at my.navy.mil: the portal moved. Use mn3p.navy.mil.
- CAC not recognised: check your card reader and certificates, and try a different supported browser.
- Quick Links page unavailable: use Quick Links Classic, or check the portal's notices for scheduled maintenance.
- Link opens but asks for a different login: some linked systems use their own logins, separate from MNP.

Checked on November 9, 2026, against Navy stories on DVIDS and DLA's ASSIST sites. Some .mil pages could not be loaded from our location, so descriptions of mn3p.navy.mil pages rely on the portal's published wording. Global Business News Today is not affiliated with the US Navy.
