In line with reference (a), all Active Duty Sailors in the ABE, ABF, ABH, AME, AO, CS, DC, EM, IC, GM, GSM, MM, QM, and RS ratings will be administered the RKE, which is executed through the exam process. RKE advancements will be conducted via Advance to Position (A2P) and Command Advance to Position (CA2P). Reference (a) should be read in its entirety for Billet Based Advancement (BBA) policy.  b. In line with reference (b), all other Active Duty and TAR Sailors will take NWAEs to compete for advancement via NWAE cycle- based legacy advancements. 2. In line with references (b) and (c), the Enlisted Advancement Worksheet (EAW) is the authoritative source of data used to determine Cycle 268 E5 and E6 eligibility.  a. Commands are to accurately validate, complete, and finalize all EAWs in the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System.  b. For some Sailors in BBA ratings, Educational Services Officers (ESOs) may be required to wait until the effective advancement date for the applicable paygrade to be updated before an EAW can be created manually.  c. EAW discrepancies should be addressed via the Post- examination Administration Comment (PAC) process after Cycle 268 worksheets are locked. 3. Cycle 268 timeline:  a. 31 July 2025: Professional Military Knowledge - Eligibility Exam (PMK-EE) completion deadline.  b. 31 August 2025: Enlisted Leader Development (ELD) course completion deadline.  c. 4 September 2025: E6 exam administration. EAW will close one week after the exam date on the worksheet.  d. 11 September 2025: E5 exam administration. EAW will close one week after the exam date on the worksheet.  e. Deviation from administration dates. In line with reference (b), commands that require rescheduling of NWAE or RKE administration date(s) (with valid reason) may request a deviation of NWAE or RKE administration from Navy Personnel Command (PERS- 803). If authorized, administration will be completed by 30 September 2025. 4. Eligibility requirements are found in chapter 2 of reference (b). The following information is specific to Cycle 268:  a.

In line with reference (d), PMK-EE remains mandatory once per paygrade for all E5 and E6 candidates to be eligible for exam cycle participation. Refer to reference (e) regarding special exceptions for E4 new accessions. Waivers are normally not approved without extraordinary circumstances.  e.

If clearance is revoked, an exam is not authorized until the discrepancy is corrected. An eligibility determination of "No Determination Made" constitutes an unfavorable adjudication.  h.
