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.

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.

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).
