Every exam question is tied to a reference by visiting rating subject matter experts at Advancement Exam Readiness Review (AERR) panels. The answer to each question on your exam is linked to a page in a reference, and that information is stored with the question in the exam development system. At subsequent AERRs, questions and reference material are verified to ensure the information is still accurate, important, and relevant.

Welcome and glad you finally joined.

I am glad to say that the Selectee/ Chiefs group is up and running and some are networking. I'm especially happy that this got going during the Reserve's release. If you are a Selectee and would like to join that group, please send me your first, last name and rate.

The first pay increment for newly selected Chief Petty Officers begins September 16th. No less than 3% will be advanced monthly by seniority in each rating, and by fair share numbers across all ratings. A little more than 65% of the CPO selectees will be advanced in the final pay increment, August.

Don't forget that you can change your display name and/ or add a profile pic to add a little personality!

Congratulations to all that made it! To be included in the Selectee/ Chief group, I'll need your first and last name and rate. You can PM me, and I will validate later. I know this is a special and well deserved occasion!

for those who signed up, you still need to respond to the validation email..

Selectees who wish to be added to the Selectee/Chiefs member group should contact me after the list comes out. You will also have access to the Chiefs forum.

Is anyone having difficulties getting information from their command like before?

Congratulations!

Very weird. This year the forum is generating more money than last year, which ensure it keeps running, and we have a good amount of people joining - just less talking...

Yes, one person got the N

Has anyone else been notified?

Perhaps your true inner self is coming out as to why you joined the Navy. You love going out to sea and want to fight a whole bunch of big dummies between the devil and the deep blue sea! Just a guess though...

Yes, a few people reporting that their "advancements/selection board" is blank. That is a good sign so Triad should have the info. Next will be the public release 24hrs later. Has anyone been contacted by their Triad?

REF B IS OPNAVINST 1420.1B, ENLISTED TO OFFICER COMMISSIONING PROGRAMS APPLICATION ADMINISTRATIVE MANUAL. REF C IS MARINE CORPS ORDER 1040.43B, APPLICATION FOR NOMINATION TO THE U.S. NAVAL ACADEMY AND NAVAL ACADEMY PREPARATORY SCHOOL.// RMKS/1. The U.S. Naval Academy (USNA) is seeking top performing, energetic male and female Sailors and Marines, active and reserve, who have demonstrated strong leadership, for admission to the Naval Academy Class of 2023. Among each USNA class is a corps of prior-enlisted Sailors and Marines who infuse peer-level Fleet experience into the Brigade of Midshipmen. Twenty years from now, these young men and women, from all walks of American life, will lead our Fleet and operational forces. Commanding Officers (CO) are encouraged to identify motivated enlisted personnel who meet the criteria and may be good candidates for selection to USNA. 2. Successful candidates will be top-quality Sailors and Marines who fit the following profile: a. Academics (1) Possess a strong high school grade point average indicating the potential to succeed at USNA. Fleet applicants ranked in the top 40 percent of their high school class are typically considered competitive. (2) Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores taken within the last two years. The SAT is a three-part test consisting of reading, math, and writing. Applicants should aim to score above 500 in reading (verbal) and above 550 in math, with a combined minimum of 1050. There is no recommended score for the writing component, but it may be used for evaluation purposes. For applicants who have taken the American College Test (ACT) within the last two years, scores of at least 22 in English and 24 in Math are recommended. Potential candidates with SAT or ACT scores that are older than two years or below these guidelines are strongly encouraged to retake the test. (3) Typically completed four years of Mathematics, including a strong foundation in Geometry, Algebra, and Trigonometry, four years of English, and one year of Chemistry. Additionally, Physics, Calculus, History, and two years of a foreign language are strongly recommended. (4) Continued education since high school is vital; candidates are encouraged to strengthen their admission application with college courses in higher math and sciences. If schedule permits, applicants are encouraged to complete college courses that display current academic ability. b. Top performers who have demonstrated or possess strong leadership (e.g., past and present Command Junior Sailors/Bluejackets/Marines of the Quarter/Year, top 20 percent performers in "A" and "C" schools, class leaders, Honor Guard members, and community volunteers). c. Good moral character and unquestionable loyalty to the United States, as determined by a command interview and military recommendations. d. No record of disciplinary action under Article 15, Uniform Code of Military Justice, or conviction by civil court (except minor traffic violations) during the three years preceding application for admission. e. We are seeking candidates with outstanding physical fitness who are able or who have the potential to pass the Naval Academy physical fitness requirements. This should reflect on the latest PRT/PFA, PFT/CFT, and CFA results. The requirements can be found at https://www.usna.edu/AthleticDirector/_files/documents/ instructions/DIRATHINST6110.2B-MIDN-PFA-Procedures.pdf. f. Must not have passed their 23rd birthday on 1 July of the year of admission to USNA. g. Must not be married, pregnant, or have incurred obligations of parenthood. 3. Candidates with superior academic performance and strong military backgrounds may receive direct appointments to USNA. Top performers who need to strengthen their academic background may be selected to attend the Naval Academy Preparatory School (NAPS) in Newport, RI for one year and receive an appointment to USNA the following year. 4. Personnel selected to attend USNA or NAPS must be medically qualified by the Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board (DoDMERB) in order to be commissioned as an officer in the Navy or Marine Corps. Once candidates complete 50 percent of the application, their name will be sent to DoDMERB for the physical and eye exams. The candidate will be contacted by Concorde, the DoDMERB contractor, with information on where to receive the physical and eye exams. The Service Member will be contacted by the USNA Fleet Coordinator with information on how to get the physical and eye exam completed at their own Military Treatment Facility as an alternative. Reference (a) provides medical standards. 5. Up to 170 regular and reserve personnel may be appointed to USNA each year. The deadline to apply to the Class of 2023 is December 31, 2018. The deadline for all completed application documents is January 31, 2019. Applicants are strongly encouraged to complete their application as soon as possible. Packages completed before January 31, 2019 will be reviewed by the Admissions Board as soon as received. Packages will not be reviewed without the CO's endorsement. References (b) and (c) provide guidance. 6. An applicant becomes an official candidate by submitting a preliminary application on-line at www.usna.edu/admissions. After designation as a candidate, a candidate number, username, and password will be assigned and the candidate will be directed to complete the on-line application at www.usna.edu/candidateinformation. USNA operates on a rolling admissions process and Fleet applicants are encouraged to complete their applications early to improve competitiveness. 7. Direct application questions to the Fleet Liaison at (410) 293-1839/DSN 281 or bland(at)usna.edu, or write to: U.S. Naval Academy, Candidate Guidance Office, Halsey Field House, 52 King George St, Annapolis, MD 21402- 1318, Attn: Fleet Liaison. 8.
