UNCLASSIFIED// ROUTINE R 031844Z DEC 19 MID510000763984U FM CNO WASHINGTON DC TO NAVADMIN INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC BT UNCLAS NAVADMIN 276/19 PASS TO OFFICE CODES: FM CNO WASHINGTON DC//N1// INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC//N1// MSGID/GENADMIN/CNO WASHINGTON DC/N1/DEC// SUBJ/RELEASE OF MYNAVY ASSIGNMENT// RMKS/1. With the introduction of MyNavy Assignment (MNA), the future of enlisted detailing fundamentally changes. This revolutionary Sailor 2025 initiative is a product of years of listening to and learning from Sailors and incorporates Fleet-wide input command and Sailor into an enhanced detailing marketplace. MNA replaces the Career Management System - Interactive Detailing (CMS-ID) program and provides Sailors greater transparency, flexibility and choice during the assignment process. Recent CMS-ID upgrades (competition counters, advertisement of nominative billets, etc.) have received favorable Sailor reviews, and the introduction of MNA builds on this evolution of the detailing marketplace. MNA is also easier to use and allows Sailors to focus more on their career instead of just the process around billet assignment. With future planned enhancements, and as distributable inventory increases over time, expect to see even greater flexibility and choice offered via a variety of incentives made available through MNA. MNA also enhances command interaction, which in the end affords improved Fleet manning leading to increased readiness and lethality, all while improving the Sailor experience. 2. MNA goes live on 5 December 2019, replacing CMS-ID. All Active Duty and Full Time Support Sailors will be able to review and apply for advertised billets in MNA. Incorporation of Enlisted Reserve Sailors is planned for a future upgrade. Upon logging in to the new system, Sailors will immediately notice the new, modern Graphical User Interface (GUI). This GUI was designed with significant Fleet Sailor input and is a foundational element of delivering a modern Human Resources (HR) service and experience to all that use MNA. In addition to this new interface, MNA incorporates the following changes: a. Increased access window. To increase transparency, Sailors will have access throughout the entirety of every detailing cycle, with the exception of scheduled maintenance periods when new job vacancy data is released. b. Expanded job search capability. Gives Sailors the ability to search for all available vacant jobs as well as jobs with upcoming vacancies throughout the Navy, not just must-fill jobs in any given cycle. c. More job search tools. Expands job search filters to include categories with these titles - All Jobs, My Preferences, Bookmarks, Saved Searches, By Qualification and Rate Commonality Matches. d. Bookmark capability. Up to 100 jobs of interest may be bookmarked for future viewing and comparison. e. Improved application process. Increases the number of applications a Sailor may submit during an application cycle from five to seven. It also includes an Application Lifecycle Tracker dashboard, giving Sailors a quick visual reference on the status of their application. f. Professional Apprenticeship Career Track (PACT) Sailor assignments. PACT Sailors will view, apply and compete for billets leading to rating designation. PACT Sailors will see a tailored billet list based on individual eligibility. While a follow-on assignment at the current command of the PACT Sailor is considered optimal, billet vacancy will largely determine if the orders are to the current command, a new command, or A- School, leading to a rating designation. Command involvement in this process is paramount. PACT NAVADMIN 275/19 provides specific details on the new PACT designation process. g. MyResume. This feature expands Sailor ability to highlight professional and personal information to Detailers and prospective commands. The Sailor resume will present authoritative data used in assignment decisions to Sailors and prospective commands. Sailors will be able to add text, highlighting their experience, pertinent skillsets and accomplishments at their current and past commands as well as general comments to help market themselves for desired billets. h. Access to personal information. Gives Sailors easier access to their personal information, improved duty preferences, assignment history and MyResume. i. Enhanced messaging tools. Community notes from detailers and messages about new detailing polices or programs available to Sailors on the MNA homepage. j. Improved help, tutorial and tips functionality. 3. The MyNavy HR Team is committed to continual process improvement and has begun work on future updates to MNA to link rating conversion and re- enlistment/extension to billet assignments. We will continue to learn and adjust our business processes and practices as appropriate to improve transparency, flexibility and choice for both Sailors and commands. 4. We continually strive to make the process easier for Sailors to select their next assignment and better manage their careers. More than ever, we need our fighting force to focus on developing and maintaining the skills necessary to win the high-end fight and believe the release of MyNavy Assignment is a critical initiative that will help achieve this goal. 5.

This NAVADMIN announces revised selective reenlistment bonus (SRB) award levels and reenlistment policy for Active Component (AC) and Full-Time Support (FTS), updates to the pay for performance pilot (a Sailor 2025 initiative) and changes to how future SRB award levels will be announced. SRB award levels and reenlistment policy listed in this NAVADMIN supersede those contained in reference (a). Additionally, it expands the pay for performance pilot program, a Sailor 2025 initiative designed to better reward our top Sailors, where eligible Sailors can receive an additional 0.5 multiple or *kicker* in their SRB multiple if they meet specific criteria outlined in paragraph 6. Finally, all future SRB award level updates, to include the addition and closure of skills, will be published on the SRB website as opposed to being published via NAVADMIN. This change is part of a concerted effort to increase the agility of the SRB program by publishing updates more frequently. Updates will be posted on MyNavy Portal (MNP) under the *SRB* tab at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/pay-and-benefits. SRB policy updates will continue to be announced via NAVADMIN. SRBs aid in manning the Fleet by ensuring retention of qualified talent in critical skills, while the pay for performance pilot under Sailor 2025 rewards superior performance. 2. Increased award levels are effective immediately and decreased levels are effective 30 days after the release of this NAVADMIN. Annual bonus amounts may not exceed $30K per 12 months of additional obligated service as stated in reference (b). Additional bonus calculation information can be found via MNP. 3. Reenlistment requests for the listed SRB award levels will be approved based on quota availability. SRB reenlistment requests for FTS are currently not being accepted. SRB reenlistment requests for AC must be submitted to the Community Management Support Branch (BUPERS-328) via Officer Personnel Information System (OPINS) or Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) 35 to 120 days in advance of the requested reenlistment date for the Sailor. Eligible Sailors desiring SRB reenlistment are encouraged to work with their chain of command as early as possible within their reenlistment window to maximize potential for SRB. For information on the current list of SRB eligible ratings/skills based on available quotas and to ensure all requirements and timelines are met, visit MNP. Addendums to the current award message are posted on this site and provide notification of skill closures and supersede the current NAVADMIN. For commands with limited internet access, command career counselors (CCC) should contact BUPERS-328 directly for the latest updates. 4. AC SRB award levels are as follows (Note: A * indicates a level located in other sections of paragraph 4, a - indicates a reduction from previous award level and a + indicates an increase from previous award level. The and + are used solely to represent a trend): a.

Notes: (1) Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) 0000, commonly referred to as quad zero, is listed here to establish that Sailors in these ratings/career fields can hold any or no NEC and still be qualified for the SRB provided they meet all other applicable non- NEC related criteria. (2) Subsurface or surface designation does not mean an individual must be subsurface or enlisted surface warfare specialist qualified, but it indicates the component of the rating in which they can reasonably be expected to serve. Training, qualifications and previous or projected duty assignments at-sea will indicate the appropriate rating component. When using the force management system and OPINS to input an SRB precertification request, use the rating (with appropriate suffix designation/NEC) as specified in this NAVADMIN. For example, a surface electronics technician with no NEC would submit *ET(SW)* on precertification for rating. (3) An SRB approval for all CT, IS, IT and ITS ratings will be contingent upon the Sailor having a current Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI) or Tier 5 investigation, an active SSBI/Tier 5 or recent submission of an SSBI/Tier 5 package. Commands must verify the Sailor has a current SSBI/Tier 5, active SSBI/Tier 5 or has submitted an SSBI/Tier 5 package and make a note of this in the comments section of the precertification request. (4) E-3 to E-6 Sailors only. Sailors selected for E-7 advancement are not eligible for SRB. (5) X is used as a placeholder to identify where multiple NECs within a rating are eligible for a stated award level. Sailors in the specified rating who hold an NEC that includes the numbers preceding X are eligible for SRB. For example, SO O9XA includes SO O91A and SO O92A, and T1XB includes all subsurface Electronics Technician navigation NECs contained in T1XA series. (6) Reenlistment bonuses for nuclear-trained Sailors. (a) Reenlistment compensation for zones 1 through 3 nuclear- trained Sailors holding a nuclear supervisor NEC shall be provided under the Enlisted Supervisor Retention Pay (ESRP) Program in line with policies and procedures detailed in reference (c) along with current ESRP multiples. (b) SRB entitlement for eligible nuclear-trained Sailors who reenlist after applying for an officer program will be held pending selection results. For nuclear-trained Sailors only, the date on which conditional release is approved by Nuclear Propulsion Program Manager (OPNAV N133) as directed in reference (d), is considered the date of the application to an officer program with the exception of Seaman-to-Admiral-21 Nuclear Option (STA-21(N)) and Limited Duty Officer (LDO). For STA-21(N) and LDO, the application deadline is considered the suspense date. (7) E-4 to E-6 Sailors only. Sailors selected for E-7 advancement are not eligible for SRB. (8) E-3 to E-5 Sailors only. Sailors selected for E-6 advancement are not eligible for SRB. (9) FCA SRB eligibility contingent upon holding an Aegis Weapon System baseline technician or element supervisor NEC. (10) CTIs must meet minimum language readiness standard (L2/R2) for SRB eligibility, unless they possess a valid *Inability to Test* waiver from the Navy Language, Regional Expertise and Culture Office (OPNAV N13F). Sailors holding a CTI NEC must be differentiated by the Enlisted Manning Code (EMC). Only Sailors having one of the following NECs and assigned in the respective EMC are eligible for SRB: (a) NEC: 813A/9RUS, EMC: B516. (b) NEC: 9ARB/9HEB, EMC: B511. (c) NEC: 9CMN/9KOR, EMC: B512. (11) Sailors are eligible for a +0.5 pay for performance SRB kicker contingent upon meeting all requirements specified in paragraph 6 below. (12) For submarine Sailors only. 5. Sailors must reenlist within 270-days of their end of active obligated service (EAOS), except in the following cases: a. Nuclear-trained Sailors. b. Sailors who must obligate service (OBLISERV) to execute a permanent change of station move will be allowed to reenlist early any time within 1 Calendar Year of the detachment month, but not later than the date of detachment from the last intermediate duty station. 6. The pay for performance program is being piloted as part of the Navys overall talent management process improvement effort called Sailor 2025. Sailor 2025 is modernizing personnel management and training policies and systems to more effectively identify, recruit and train talented people and manage the force while improving warfighting readiness. Eligibility and submission requirements are as follows: a. To be eligible, Sailors must: (1) Be in the EM, EN, GSM, MM(SW), DC, HT, MR, CSS or AWS rating. (2) Have received two Early Promotes (EPs) in block 45 of their three most recent periodic evaluations. Block 8 may indicate REGULAR, FROCKED or SELECTED. Block 10 must be checked for periodic. No transfer, concurrent or special evaluations will apply. Evaluations are not limited to performance documented in the last three years. The intent is to evaluate the last three periodic evaluations, irrespective of how far back in a career that may go, so as not to limit eligibility to only those who have served at a single duty station for at least three years. (3) Have not received Non-Judicial Punishment within the last 3 years. (4) Have not failed any part of the physical fitness assessment in the last 3 years. b. Commands must submit a NAVPERS 1306/7, Enlisted Personnel Action Request, requesting the SRB kicker, signed copies of the evaluations of the Sailor and a printout of their physical readiness information management system data to BUPERS-328 once their precertification has been submitted. This requirement is only for those who fall under the provisions of this paragraph. c. Award ceiling cap values under $100,000 will be raised by $5,000 for Sailors eligible for the performance kicker. For example EN Zone A award ceiling will be raised from $30,000 to $35,000 for Sailors who qualify for the performance kicker. Award ceiling caps will not be adjusted over $100,000 under these provisions. 7. SRB Submission Requirements a. Commands are required to submit SRB reenlistment requests to BUPERS-328 via OPINS or NSIPS 35 to 120 days in advance of the requested reenlistment date of the Sailor. Requests submitted less than 35 days prior to the requested reenlistment date will be rejected. However, commands may contact BUPERS-328 for waiver eligibility and procedures. Sailors must have an approved SRB request before reenlisting. The servicing personnel office is responsible for verifying the reenlistment, posting the contract, releasing the first payment and verifying the master military pay account. Commands shall immediately notify the Military Pay and Compensation Branch (OPNAV N130), when a Sailor fails to maintain eligibility in the skill for which SRB was paid (e.g., loss of security clearance, medical disqualification, loss of eligible NEC, misconduct) or when a Sailor has an approved separation with a remaining SRB contract obligation. b. Career Waypoints - Reenlistment (C-WAY-REEN). Commands are authorized to submit SRB reenlistment requests prior to a Sailor receiving a C-WAY-REEN quota. However, the C-WAY-REEN quota request must be submitted. In these cases, the SRB request will not be processed until the Sailor has received C-WAY-REEN confirmation. SRB requests without C-WAY-REEN quota approval will be rejected in OPINS to keep the command informed of potential SRB approval issues. Once a Sailor has an approved C-WAY-REEN quota, the command should contact BUPERS-328 to clear any rejections. Failure to submit an SRB reenlistment request within the required 35 to 120-day submission window due to awaiting a C-WAY-REEN quota does not meet eligibility requirements for a 35-day submission waiver. c. Sailors with approved SRB requests who do not reenlist on the date or for the term specified in the precertification message must have their command contact BUPERS-328 to initiate a reenlistment cancelation to avoid placing Sailors in an overpaid status. d. To validate an inoperative extension of enlistment and expedite processing of an SRB request, include the following information in the remarks paragraph of the request: term, narrative reason, authority and execution date of all inoperative extensions. Failure to verify extension will cause processing delays and may result in rejection of the request or approval at a lower amount. e. Sailors must obtain approval for an extension from BUPERS-328 in order to minimize the potential for loss of SRB eligibility. 8. Acceptance of an NEC-specific SRB contract indicates an agreement between the Sailor and the Navy to use skills attributed to the NEC during the enlistment of the Sailor to meet Fleet readiness requirements. In subsequent tours, a Sailor must be willing to be detailed during the normal projected rotation date window to an available billet within the SRB contracted NEC, consistent with sea-shore flow requirements. Lateral conversions must follow reference (e), subparagraph 12d. Lateral conversion requests will normally not be processed more than 9 months before the EAOS. Conversions to a rate with a lower award level normally will not be approved. Personnel in a closed-loop NEC can reenlist by the NEC only. 9. Reference (e), paragraph 16f, provides OBLISERV to Train (OTT) guidance. Requests are to be submitted to BUPERS-328 extension desk via e-mail. A copy of the authorization message should be retained by the Sailor until the SRB reenlistment on graduation day from the course of instruction. Use code 1CC for OTT SRB request in OPINS or NSIPS. Additionally, OBLISERV requirements for schools are provided in reference (f). OBLISERV will be determined based on the course length, as provided in paragraph 3b of reference (f). Paragraph 3c(1) no longer applies. 10. In keeping with Department of Defense (DoD) policy, Sailors who accepted an enlistment bonus for extended enlistment (EBEE), as reflected on their Enlisted Bonus Payment Checklist (NAVCRUIT 1133/52, Enlistment Guarantees, New Accession Training Program Enlistment Guarantee or Professional Apprenticeship Career Track Program Enlistment Guarantees), are not authorized to use this inoperative extension time in the SRB calculation. Sailors who have inoperative extension time through a 5-year obligation or 6- year obligation program may continue to have up to 24 months of inoperative extension time count towards the SRB calculation provided the reenlistment results in a new EAOS that is at least 24 months day-for-day past the current extended EAOS. This calculation is performed automatically by BUPERS-328. Local commands are not authorized to cancel or change extensions for the purpose of immediate SRB reenlistments. Commands must verify and annotate on the precertification request whether any inoperative extension time noted is part of an EBEE contract. 11. Repayment policy is governed by section 373 of Title 37, U.S. Code, DoD Financial Management Regulation (FMR) Chapter 2, Volume 7A and reference (e), which collectively determines when repayment of the unearned portion of a bonus is required or not required but left to Secretarial discretion or prohibited. Section 373 of Title 37, U.S. Code, requires repayment with certain exceptions. As a general rule, repayment of any unearned portion of a bonus will be sought. 12. Sailors who have reenlisted and have not received their SRB payment or have questions concerning the taxation of their SRB and annual installments should work with their Command Pay and Personnel Administrator to contact the servicing pay office or personnel support detachment to resolve those issues. SRB tax information is also discussed in DoD FMR, Volume 7A, Chapter 44, table 44-1, rule 5. The point of contact for a Sailor with questions regarding the SRB program or any information on their on-line personnel account is their CCC. For questions regarding current award levels, check the SRB website via MNP at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/pay-and-benefits, then click on the *SRB* tab. For technical questions or clarification, CCCs, not individual Sailors, are encouraged to contact BUPERS-328 at (901) 874-3215 or (901) 874-3915/DSN 882 or via e-mail at mill_incen_pays(at)navy.mil or contact the SRB Help Desk at (901) 874-2526/DSN 882. 13.

Candidates must meet the eligibility requirements outlined in chapters 2 and 11 of reference (a) and this NAVADMIN prior to the scheduled board convening date. All requirements must reflect in the respective EMF prior to the board convening. Requirements achieved or posted to the record of the candidate after the scheduled board convening date are considered late and will not make a candidate eligible for the regularly scheduled board or entitle a candidate to an enlisted special selection board. Refer to paragraph 616 of reference (a) for E-8 through E-9 candidate validation procedures. Eligibility requirements include: a. The name of the candidate appears on the selection board eligibility list in the correct competitive group on their profile sheet. Candidates should register for e-mail notification for profile sheet updates via MNP at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/navy-advancement-center/my- advancement. Candidates and commands share equal responsibility to ensure the eligibility list is accurate. Because eligibility status can change without direct notification, candidates should verify their profile sheet on a continuous basis and commands must verify their ESVR weekly through the projected board adjourn date. b. In line with reference (a), the terminal eligibility date used to compute the TIR is 1 October 2020. The TIR date for E-8 candidates must be on or before 1 September 2017. The TIR date for E-9 candidates must be on or before 1 July 2017. c. High year tenure (HYT) waivers must be approved prior to the board convening. HYT date or approved HYT waivers for the current paygrade must be 1 July 2020 or later. Candidates who will be at HYT on 1 July 2020 for the next higher paygrade are ineligible for advancement, regardless of any approved HYT waiver. d. Commands must revalidate members whose disapproved or cancelled retirement authorization is adjudicated prior to the selection board convening date by sending an e-mail with the reason for revalidation to the Selection Board Eligibility Branch (PERS- 802). See paragraph 208 of reference (a) for Fleet Reserve request impacts to eligibility. e. Security clearance requirements. See paragraph 203 of reference (a).

Commands must verify and submit a message formatted e-mail to NETPDC (N321) and PERS-802 requesting invalidation of those selection board eligible candidates who no longer meet the rate specific and competitive group qualifications by the scheduled board convening date. g. Non-nuclear submarine Sailors must be designated as either SS, SU or SQ in line with reference (b) as of the board convening date to be eligible. Candidates designated as SG or SP are not eligible for advancement. h. While reference (c) required personnel who were selected for E-8 in FY-17 and FY-18 to successfully graduate from the senior enlisted academy (SEA) to be eligible for E-9 board consideration, increased throughput requirements made this unachievable. Therefore, this requirement is waived for E-8s selected in FY-17 and FY-18. Reference (c) will be revised with guidance for SEA requirements in future selection boards. 7. Competitive Groups. The below listed ratings are separated into competitive groups as applicable to the component of the candidate: a. CTI (Active-Duty E-8) Group 1 - Middle East and North Africa Group 2 - East and Far East Asia Group 3 - Latin and South America Group 4 - Eastern Europe b.

The Navy Advancement Center continues to process exam results from the Fall 2019 administrations. We are tracking well to publish results next week. CNP will provide the publication schedule, to include quotas, in advance of publication. The key document for you to review after publication is your Exam Profile Sheet. This PDF document is available for download on MyNavy Portal or using your NEAS Web self-service account at URL https://prod-neas.ncdc.navy.mil/NEASRpts/Individual.aspx. Profile Sheets give you some very important information. You will be given your Final Multiple Score factor totals (Exam Standard Score, Performance Mark Average, Service in Paygrade, Awards, Education Points, and Pass Not Advance Points) as well as the average FMS factor total points your competition had for the exam cycle. Also on your Profile Sheet is the Minimum FMS required to advance compared to your total FMS. One of the most important sections on the Profile Sheet is your exam performance. This section includes topic areas, the number of questions, what number of questions you answered correctly, and how well you did compared to your peers represented as a percentile. The status section at the bottom indicates your standing for the advancement cycle. Your status could be Advanced, PNA point, No PNA points, or Discrepancy. If you get a Profile Sheet in a discrepancy status, contact your command Educational Services Officer to resolve.

Sailors eligible to advance to Chief Petty Officer (CPO) for the upcoming Active Duty Cycle 246 will compete against peers for selection board eligibility. Only the top 60% of the rank order in each rating will be E7 selection board eligible (SBE). The rank order is based off only two factors - Reporting Senior Cumulative Average (RSCA) Performance Mark Average (PMA) and the candidates exam Standard Score (SS). RSCA PMA will be calculated in the Enlisted Advancement Worksheet using the last three years of performance evaluations, and your SS is determined by how many questions you answer correctly on the exam compared to peers. The Active Duty E7 Navy-wide exam will be administered on January 16, 2020. Exam scores range from 20 to 80, with an 80 going to the CPO candidate in a rating with the most correct responses. Exam specific bibliographies are available on MyNavy Portal and the Navy COOL website. E7 SBE results will be made available to command triads in early March. Refer to NAVADMIN 238/19 for more information. Good luck to all candidates!

Active Duty E6 Sailors eligible to advance to Chief Petty Officer can now review their advancement worksheet for Cycle 246 (January 2020) in the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) Enlisted Advancement Worksheet (EAW) module. Candidates can use their NSIPS self-service account to access EAW. Data in EAW is a snapshot in time and will not include the November 2019 evaluations or Reporting Senior Cumulative Average. All other data should be up to date. Command ESOs must manually enter any data in EAW that changes after worksheets are created. No action can be taken by the Sailor until their ESO routes the worksheet. System enhancements are being programmed that will provide ESOs with a data refresh capability and other EAW improvements based on user feedback. Those enhancements should be available after May 2020.

NEWPORT, R.I. (Nov. 1, 2019) (NNS) -- The first eight Navy warrant officer 1 (WO1) Sailors in decades graduated from the Limited Duty Officer/Chief Warrant Officer (LDO/CWO) Academy at Officer Training Command, Newport (OTCN), Nov. 1. The new warrant officers are Benjamin Nichols, Jonathon Wynn, Brent Gray, Ryan Snyder, Devan Sorenson, Nicholas Drenning, Kevin Koller, and Brian Ruzin. “I’m enthusiastic for this new program because we can pave the way for the future of the Navy’s cyberwarfare efforts,” said Warrant Officer Devan T. Sorenson, from Bozeman, Montana. “The unique world of this career field is modeled like a meritocracy where it is a collaborative environment to be effective. The evolution of technology outpaces the training so it is important to stay current.” “Our expertise comes from the enlisted ranks and we can better assist officers to make those necessary decisions through our experience,” said Warrant Officer Ryan C. Snyder, from Hollis, New Hampshire. “It is essential to be innovative and always strive to be the subject matter experts in this fast-paced field of cyberwarfare.” The LDO/CWO Academy is a four-week course designed to prepare these prior enlisted Sailors for their new roles in the wardroom per the Navy’s Officer Professional Core Competencies. The class officers at the schoolhouse develop these newly commissioned officers morally, mentally, and physically, and imbue them with the highest ideals of honor, courage, and commitment in order to prepare them for the Fleet. Additionally, the academy will prepare these officers to become effective leaders by developing fundamental skills in leadership, written and oral communication, career management and administration. “The new WO1 program opens up more advancement and designator opportunities,” said Cmdr. Zeverick L. Butts, the Director of the LDO/CWO Academy. “These new students bring unique skillsets and perspectives, increasing the dynamic interaction in the classroom for problem solving.” The eight WO1s along with the 45 LDOs and CWOs of class 20010 graduated during a ceremony on Nov. 1, 2019. Graduates of this academy, nicknamed “Mustang University,” will join the LDO/CWO community to support the war-fighting capability and readiness of Naval Forces through leadership, technical proficiency and experience. NAVADMIN 140/18 announced the implementation of the WO1 pay grade (W-1) for cyber warrant officers, and solicited applications for the FY-19 and FY-20 WO1 Cyber Warrant Selection Boards, the first since 1975. The rank was reinstated through the Cyber Warrant Officer In-Service Procurement Selection Board as the result of increasing threat of cyberwarfare on the modern battlefield. To be eligible, E5 and above applicants must be in the Cryptologic Technician Networks (CTN) rating, possess at least one of the following Interactive On-Net (ION) Operator naval enlisted classifications (NEC): H13A, H14A, H15A, or H16A, and meet time-in-service requirements. Officers appointed as cyber WO1 incur a six-year service obligation from the date of appointment, shall serve a minimum time in grade of 3 years and must complete a minimum of 12 years of time in service prior to promotion and commissioning to Chief Warrant Officer 2. The distinctive insignia worn on the WO1 cover of two cross-fouled anchors makes them easily recognizable in place of the traditional officer badge worn by other Naval Officers. Headquartered in Newport, Rhode Island, OTCN oversees Officer Candidate School, Officer Development School and Limited Duty Officer/Chief Warrant Officer Academy.

The Navy Advancement Center (NAC) is on track to publish the fall advancement cycles results around the Thanksgiving timeframe. Currently, NAC is scanning and processing answer sheets that were administered as late substitute exams and staff is correcting candidate records in the Navy Enlisted Advancement System. The priority is to process each Sailor's Final Multiple Score (FMS) and establish a rank order in each rating and paygrade. Quotas will be applied to the rank order to determine which Sailors will be advanced to the next-higher paygrade. A Sailor's opportunity to advance is based on quotas and their rating rank order. A results publication schedule will be released by the Chief of Naval Personnel at a later date.

Your Final Multiple Score (FMS) from previous advancement cycles is an important factor in Advancement to Position (A2P) selections. Active Duty E5s in their detailing window should refer to NAVADMIN 230/19 for more information.

Among many factors reviewed, documented misconduct and/or substandard performance within the past 3 years will be considered to determine whether to continue a board- eligible Sailor. Examples include, but are not limited to, receipt of an evaluation with an individual trait grade of 2.0 or below or any documented circumstance related to performance that results in a Sailors inability to perform in the rating or required duties (e.g., loss of a security clearance in a rating that requires a member to maintain continuous eligibility). 2.

(2) Selected Reserve (SELRES) and Voluntary Training Unit (VTU) E-7 through E-9 personnel with at least 20 years of qualifying service as of 31 August 2019 and 3 years TIR as of 31 August 2019 will be considered by the SECB. b. Fleet Reserve/retirement approval (1) All personnel who, as of 16 November 2019, have either a Navy Personnel Command (NAVPERSCOM) final authorization to transfer to the Fleet Reserve or an approved request to retire on or before 1 September 2020 will be exempt from the SECB. Approved requests cannot be rescinded after 16 November 2019. (2) Personnel meeting all other eligibility requirements who have a NAVPERSCOM approved transfer to the Fleet Reserve, retirement or Retired Reserve (with or without pay) after 1 September 2020 will be considered by the SECB. c. Sailors selected for chief warrant officer (CWO) by the FY- 20 Limited Duty Officer and Chief Warrant Officer In-Service Procurement Board held in January 2019 or selected by the FY-20 advancement boards are not eligible and will not be considered by the SECB.

Readiness appeals are approved by the Chief of Naval Personnel (CNP). Readiness appeal format is available at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/career-planning.

(2) A readiness appeal shall focus on the negative impact to unit or force readiness if the Sailor is separated, not for the convenience of the Sailor.

If the TYCOM recommends approval, the request is forwarded to NAVPERSCOM, Post Selection Board Matters Branch (PERS-833) for AC and FTS for further routing to CNP for final disposition. (4) Route SELRES appeal requests through the administrative chain of command via COMNAVRESFORCOM (N1) to the TYCOM.

(6) If the TYCOM (AC, FTS or SELRES) or COMNAVRESFORCOM (N1) (VTU) does not recommend approval, the request is disapproved and is returned to the requesting command. The TYCOM or COMNAVRESFORCOM (N1) will forward an electronic copy of disapprovals to NAVPERSCOM (PERS-833) for record retention.
