From Naval Service Training Command Public Affairs GREAT LAKES (NNS) -- The Seaman-To-Admiral (STA-21) commissioning program, which provides an opportunity for qualified Sailors to receive college educations and navy commissions, is soliciting applications for fiscal year 2019, as announced in NAVADMIN 113/18 May 9. The deadline for submitting application packages is July 1. "STA-21 is a full-time, undergraduate education and commissioning program open to enlisted personnel of all pay grades and ratings to receive a top-notch college education and become commissioned officers," said Cathy Kempf, head of Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC) program and STA-21 selection and placement, at Naval Service Training Command's (NSTC) Officer Development (OD) directorate in Pensacola, Florida. According to Mark Gough, deputy director of the NSTC's OD directorate, the STA-21 program is one of the best officer commissioning programs the Navy has to offer. "STA-21 pays up to $10,000 per year for college costs such as tuition, books and fees," said Gough. "All the while, Sailors draw their full pay and allowances for their current pay grade. Under the STA-21 program, Sailors have up to 36 months, including summer semesters, to complete their Baccalaureate degree requirements." All STA-21 officer candidates attend the Naval Science Institute (NSI) course at Officer Training Command Newport (OTCN), Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island, prior to beginning college studies at an NROTC affiliated college or university. NSI is an eight-week course of intense officer preparation and indoctrination. Course enrollment is timed to allow college entrance during summer or fall semesters/quarters after selection. The STA-21 program benefits Sailors as well as the Navy. The average candidate has at least two years and in most cases more than four years of observed performance which assists in the process of selecting the most qualified Sailors to receive a commission. Additionally, STA-21 candidates are on average older than most midshipmen, bringing a maturity directly reflected in the more than 85 percent completion rate STA-21 program candidates boast. Additionally, many Sailors involved in the STA-21 program already have some college credit and some candidates have enough credits to finish ahead of the three years allotted to earn a degree. All of these factors - proven performance for better selection, maturity for higher completion rates, and previous college credit - save the Navy money while producing top-quality experienced Naval officers. According to NAVADMIN 113/18, the following target options and core are open for application for the FY-19 Selection Board: Surface Warfare (SWO), Nuclear (Surface/Sub), Special Warfare, Explosive Ordnance Disposal, Naval Flight Officer, Pilot, Civil Engineering Corps, Nurse Corps, and Information Professional. Applicants for Aviation options must meet the new minimum Aviation Selection Test Battery scores of AQR 5/PFAR 6 for Pilot (1390) and AQR 5/FOFAR 6 for NFO (1370) in line with Program Authorization (PA) 150D dated April 2018. The following target options have zero select opportunity for FY-18: Human Resources, Intelligence, Cryptologic Warfare (previously Information Warfare), Surface Warfare Engineering (SWO/ED) duty option, Medical Corps, Supply Corps, SWO Oceanography, Surface Warfare Officer/Information Professional (SWO/IP), and SWO/OCEANO. The Nuclear (Surface/Sub) target option is open to Sailors who are serving in the fleet and hold an active nuclear Navy enlisted classification (335X, 336X, 338X, or 339X). This option is a change to the previous year's eligibility policy. Sailors who are serving as a staff member or student in the Navy Nuclear Power Training pipeline are also eligible, as they have been in previous years. All applicants must be able to begin their first day of class in the first semester of their course work prior to commencing their eighth year of service. See the Nuclear Program Authorization (PA150A) dated December 2015 for more specific information and all other requirements to apply for the program. Additionally, applicants holding a nuclear Navy enlisted classification must receive conditional release, in line with reference (b), if applying for option outside the Nuclear Community, from the Nuclear Enlisted Community Manager (OPNAV N133D). In the STA-21 program, as it is in many competitive selection processes, it is often a candidate's extra efforts which can result in selection. "Do your best in all your endeavors, college courses, work performance, community involvement, and have superior performances on your Physical Fitness Assessments (PFA). With so many great sailors to choose from, selection boards often look for the tie breakers or the indicators of extra effort, potential and desire, in this regard the STA-21 program is no exception," Kempf said. "As always, performance is the number one criteria. When given the chance to lead, take it. No matter how small the opportunity, step up and lead people, and lead them well, while also attending to your physical, academic, and professional preparedness." Reporting seniors who feel they have a sailor with the potential to be selected by STA-21 should comment on their leadership skills and potential in their performance evaluations early in their career. These comments are highly regarded by the boards, even in junior Sailors. Kempf reminded all Sailors that are applying for STA-21 to have an endorsing letter from their commanding officers and to include their Scholastic Aptitude Test/American College Test (SAT/ACT) scores in their packages. This year's NAVADMIN includes numbers from last year. It states of the 342 applications received for FY-18, only 302 were board eligible. A total of 50 were selected to participate in the FY-18 STA-21 program. Each year, packages are not considered due to non-qualifying Scholastic Aptitude Test/American College Test (SAT/ACT) test scores, missing commanding officer (CO) endorsement/recommendation, recent non-judicial punishment, missing PFA cycles, missing or illegible submission of documents, and not meeting program age or PFA requirements. NAVADMIN 113/18 also states minimum eligibility requirements must be met before submitting an application. Applications should be mailed only when fully completed. Officer interview boards shall consist of three officers; the applicant's commanding officer may not be a board member and should not submit an interview appraisal sheet. The commanding officer's personal interview should be conducted only after the application is complete and the officer interview board has submitted their appraisals. The full picture of an applicant's academic and officer potential can only be determined by reviewing the SAT/ACT scores, high school/college transcripts, and a completed application package. Kempf echoed the NAVADMIN and said the commanding officer's endorsement is extremely important, especially the ranking of the individual among his/her peers. The endorsement should contain specifics about the individual's academic potential, commitment, leadership, service above self, and potential as a naval officer. Commanding officer comments should specify the primary option to which the individual is applying and address how the individual meets qualifications for that option. For junior Sailors with only schoolhouse evaluations, the CO must address this issue in his or her endorsement. Application packages must be postmarked on or before the July 1 deadline date. Selectees will be announced by NAVADMIN in the fall. Questions concerning this program should be directed to command career counselors or to the NSTC officer development directorate at (850) 452-9563.

Mike Bernacchi, NSTC commander, headquartered at Naval Station Great Lakes, Illinois, and his staff support the OD directorate and 98 percent of initial officer and enlisted accessions training for the Navy, as well as the Navy's Citizenship Development program. NSTC includes Recruit Training Command (RTC), the Navy's only boot camp at Naval Station Great Lakes, NROTC at more than 160 colleges and universities, OTCN, and Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (NJROTC) and Navy National Defense Cadet Corps (NNDCC) citizenship development programs at more than 600 high schools worldwide.

REF B IS NAVADMIN 177/17, NUCLEAR TRAINED SAILOR APPLICATIONS TO OFFICER COMMISSIONING PROGRAMS.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN solicits applications and provides guidance for the FY-19 Seaman to Admiral-21 (STA-21) Commissioning Program. 2. STA-21 is a full-time undergraduate education and commissioning program open to enlisted personnel of all paygrades and ratings who meet the eligibility requirements specified in reference (a). 3. Deadline for submission of applications for the FY-19 STA-21 Program is 1 July 2018. Application packages must be postmarked on or before the deadline date. It is recommended that applications be mailed prior to the deadline as early submission allows timely feedback to the Sailor for submission of missing or illegible documents. Deadline for submission of additional documentation to a package of the applicant is 1 August 2018. No additional documents can be added after this date. The selection board is scheduled to convene in September 2018, and the selectees will be announced via NAVADMIN. 4. The following target options and core are open for application for the FY-19 Selection Board: Surface Warfare (SWO), Nuclear (Surface/Sub), Special Warfare, Explosive Ordnance Disposal, Naval Flight Officer (NFO), Pilot, Civil Engineering Corps, Nurse Corps, and Information Professional. Applicants for Aviation options must meet the new minimum Aviation Selection Test Battery scores of AQR 5/PFAR 6 for Pilot (1390) and AQR 5/FOFAR 6 for NFO (1370) in line with Program Authorization (PA) 150D dated April 2018. 5. The following target options have zero select opportunity for FY-19: Human Resources, Intelligence, Cryptologic Warfare (previously Information Warfare), SWO Engineering Duty Option, SWO Information Professional Option, SWO Oceanography Option, Medical Corps, and Supply Corps. 6. The Nuclear (Surface/Sub) target option is open to Sailors who are serving in the fleet and hold an active nuclear Navy enlisted classification (335X, 336X, 338X, or 339X). Sailors who are serving as a staff member or student in the Navy Nuclear Power Training pipeline are also eligible. All applicants must be able to begin their first day of class in the first semester of their course work prior to commencing their eighth year of service. See the Nuclear Program Authorization (PA150A) dated December 2015 for more specific information and all other requirements to apply for the program. Additionally, applicants holding a nuclear Navy enlisted classification must receive conditional release, in line with reference (b), if applying for option outside the Nuclear Community, from the Nuclear Enlisted Community Manager (OPNAV N133D). 7. The following information addresses lessons learned from the FY-18 STA-21 selection process and board. This information is provided to preclude common errors: a. Of the 342 applications received for FY-18, only 302 were board eligible. A total of 50 were selected to participate in the FY-18 STA-21 Program. b. Each year, packages are not considered due to non-qualifying Scholastic Aptitude Test/American College Test (SAT/ACT) test scores, missing commanding officer (CO) endorsement/recommendation, recent non-judicial punishment, missing physical fitness assessment (PFA) cycles, missing or illegible submission of documents, and not meeting program age or PFA requirements. c. Minimum eligibility requirements must be met before submitting an application. Applications should be mailed only when fully completed. Officer interview boards shall consist of three officers. The applicants CO may not be a board member and should not submit an interview appraisal sheet. The COs personal interview should be conducted only after the application is complete and the officer interview board has submitted their appraisals. The full picture of an academic and officer potential applicant can only be determined by reviewing the SAT/ACT scores, high school/college transcripts, and a completed application package. d. The COs endorsement is extremely important, especially the ranking of the individual among his/her peers. The endorsement should contain specifics about the individuals academic potential, commitment, leadership, service above self, and potential as a naval officer. CO comments should specify the primary option to which the individual is applying and address how the individual meets qualifications for that option. For junior Sailors with only schoolhouse evaluations, the CO must address this issue in his or her endorsement. e. An interview board and nomination review board shall be conducted in line with reference (a). It is recommended that officers of the applicants designator of choice, if available, be asked to participate in the interview/nomination review board to assess the applicant for their community. Officer appraisals provide important insight on the applicant. The appraisal from the board should be a frank and honest assessment of the applicants leadership and academic potential. Appraisal forms should be typed in 10 or 12 point font. f. The applicants personal statement should address why the Sailor wants to become an officer, how the Sailors selection would improve the Navy, and why the Sailor is applying for a specific option. Sailors must also address any hardships or unique experiences that shaped their character. Junior Sailors should provide information on high school experiences as high school transcripts rarely provide in-depth information on involvement in sports, clubs, volunteer hours, work, etc. Additionally, applicants should address any anomalies in the package (e.g., poor high school grades, college grades, or service school grades, poor evaluation performance). The explanation should include details of the situation, how the applicant has overcome these issues, and why the applicant will be successful in the future. g. The application is a reflection of the applicant. Applicants must review their packages in their entirety before submitting. Check for misspelled words and improper grammar. Ensure all transcripts (high school and all colleges) are enclosed. Within the last year, applicants must have passed the PFA, to include body composition assessment and the physical readiness test with performance in the good category. For applicants who received a waiver on the most recent PRT, points will be awarded from the most recent observed score from the latest full test taken within a year of application (i.e., Fall 2017 and Spring 2018). A grade of satisfactory or failure of the above two required PRTs will make the applicant ineligible. h. Qualifying SAT/ACT scores are required. Include any additional recommendations, qualifications, or other accomplishments as a part of the package. i. It is recommended that the command retain a copy of the entire application package. The command copy should not be given to the applicant. 8. Mail completed applications to: Commander Naval Service Training Command (OD2/STA 21) 250 Dallas Street, Ste A Pensacola, FL 32508-5268 9. For questions, specific details, eligibility criteria, application requirements, and selection procedures, refer to reference (a), contact your command career counselor, or visit the STA-21 website at www.sta-21.navy.mil for the most up-to-date information. 10.

PENSACOLA, Fla. (NNS) -- The September 2018 Navy-wide enlisted advancement examinations (Cycle 240) testing dates for active duty, full time support, and canvasser recruiter Sailors who are advancement eligible to the paygrades of E4-E6 have been announced in Naval Administrative Message (NAVADMIN) 110/18, released May 2. Each Navy examination consists of 25 professional military knowledge and 150 job-specific rating technical questions. The Navy-wide examination dates are September 6 (E6), September 13 (E5), and September 20 (E4). Examination results are anticipated to be released to command Triads in November, prior to posting on the Navy Enlisted Advancement System (NEAS) website. During Advancement Examination Readiness Reviews held at NETPDC, visiting E7-E9 fleet subject matter experts (SMEs) in each enlisted rating ensure all examination questions can be linked to current references and publications. As rating SMEs select questions for the examination, an examination bibliography is developed for that specific cycle's exam, based on the source references for the questions on the exam. The Navy Advancement Center (NAC) updates bibliography information as fleet instructions and manuals change, and it is recommended that candidates check their bibliography a few times prior to the exam administration date. "The bibliographies should be a core focus of each Sailor's exam preparation process," said Master Chief Electronics Technician, Nuclear Power (SS) James Berhalter, command master chief of the Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC). "Keeping in mind that each cycle's exams are unique, I would recommend Sailors use only the official Navy bibliography sources for exam preparation." To download the bibliographies and an exam-specific topic list for the upcoming cycle, go to the Navy Advancement Center's My Navy Portal bibliography page: https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/navy-advancement-center/bibliographies or the Navy Credentialing Opportunities Online (COOL) website: http://www.cool.navy.mil/usn, under the Find & Select Related Credentials, Enlisted tab. Specific information on exam eligibility and requirements are detailed in NAVADMIN 110/18 and BUPERSINST 1430.16F. To support exam administration, the NEAS website also enables Education Services Officers to verify and correct the list of eligible candidates for their command, delete and forward examinations when necessary, and confirm examination ordering information. The NEAS Web address is: https://prod-neas.ncdc.navy.mil/. Prior to release of profile sheets, Triad notification of E4-E6 exam results will be provided via Bureau of Naval Personnel Online to authorized command representatives. Individual Sailors will be able to view/download their profile sheets at: https://prod-neas.ncdc.navy.mil/NEASRpts/Individual.aspx

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The Navy released the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP) plan, May 2, in NAVADMIN 109/18, increasing quotas and expanding commanding officers' ability to recognize and advance top performing Sailors. The updates to MAP are based on recommendations from senior enlisted leaders throughout the Fleet and include: *Commands can use MAP E-4 quotas to advance E-1 to E-3 Sailors. *E-6 time-in rate requirement (TIR) is now one year. However, nuclear trained Sailors must still complete at least two years as an E-5. Commands can select an E-5 Sailor for advancement with less than one year TIR through their Budget Submitting Office (BSO) / designated echelon II (Ech II) endorsement. *Commands can submit multiple MAP Certification Letters (MCL) during the MAP season. This ensures no command is holding up a MAP advancement in order to finalize all MAP command selects. This year, MAP will account for approximately 15 percent of all E-4 through E-6 advancements, with 7,012 MAP quotas, an increase of 2,795 quotas from 2017. Units will have 6,809 quotas with 203 quotas designated for the BSO. Advancement quotas by paygrade (Unit Identifier Code (UIC) and BSO) are: * E-4 - 2,977 * E-5 - 2,512 * E-6 - 1,523 MAP open season will last from July 1 - Aug. 31, but commands are encouraged to begin the MAP selection process and submit their MAP Certification Letter (MCL) as early as possible. The redistribution of unused MAP quotas will take place during the month of September. For more information on MAP, including quotas by UIC, controlled rates information, forms, points of contact, and answers to frequently asked questions go to http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/career/enlistedcareeradmin/Advancement/Pages/MAP.aspx MAP is one of Navy's continuing efforts to modernize personnel systems and processes under Sailor 2025. Sailor 2025 is the Navy's program to improve and modernize personnel management and training systems to more effectively recruit, develop, manage, reward, and retain the force of tomorrow. It is focused on empowering Sailors, updating policies, procedures, and operating systems, and providing the right training at the right time in the right way to ensure Sailors are ready for the Fleet.

UNCLASSIFIED ROUTINE R 021737Z MAY 18 FM CNO WASHINGTON DC TO NAVADMIN INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC BT UNCLAS NAVADMIN 109/18 PASS TO OFFICE CODES: FM CNO WASHINGTON DC//N1// INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC//N1// MSGID/GENADMIN/CNO WASHINGTON DC/N1/MAY// SUBJ/FY-18 MERITORIOUS ADVANCEMENT PROGRAM// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN supersedes NAVADMIN 079/17, and announces policy and guidance updates for the FY-18 Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP) season. 2. MAP Intent. As a part of Sailor 2025 and our continuing efforts to modernize personnel systems and processes, this NAVADMIN provides policy and guidance for the FY-18 MAP Season for Active Component (AC) and Full-Time Support (FTS) Sailors. Policy, guidance, and quota distribution for Selected Reserve will be outlined in a future all Navy Reserve message. We continue to refine and improve the program to further empower command triads to recognize their most highly talented Sailors through immediate advancement. Changes this season include: a. Increasing the total number of MAP quotas. The added flexibility and increased importance of MAP will account for approximately 15 percent of all E4-E6 advancements this year. b. Allowing multiple meritorious certification letter (MCL) submissions to provide maximum flexibility for commands. Commands have the ability to provide multiple MCLs this season in order to promptly advance their Sailors. This ensures commands do not hold up MAP advancements to finalize the selects from their command. c. Allowing commands to use E4 quotas to advance any E1-E3 Sailors to the next higher paygrade on a one-for-one basis. This will allow commands to recognize their best performers and advance Sailors to all paygrades E6 and below. d. Reducing the 2-year time-in-rate (TIR) to 1-year TIR for E6 MAP candidates with the additional ability for commands to select Sailors with no-TIR through Budget Submitting Officer (BSO)/designated Echelon 2 endorsement. Nuclear-trained Sailors (EMN, ETN, and MMN) must complete at least 2 years as an E5 before being eligible for advancement to E6. Commands that select Sailors with no-TIR will require a BSO/Echelon 2 endorsed letter to accompany the MCL. 3. Fleet Feedback. These modifications are the result of the close partnership with Navy leadership and the MAP strategic working group, which is comprised of senior enlisted leaders across the Fleet. The strategic working group assessed lessons learned from FY-17 and Sailor feedback to ensure command leadership triads are provided even greater opportunity and flexibility. As outlined in subparagraph 6c, commanding officers (CO) are highly encouraged to meritoriously advance highly deserving frocked Sailors to make their advancement effective immediately. 4. Community Health. Navy must balance rating community health and provide Sailors with advancement opportunity across all three advancement cycles two Navy Wide Advancement Exams (NWAE) and one MAP Season. a. To ensure communities remain healthy, commands that wish to nominate a Sailor in a controlled rate must submit their request via their chain of command to their BSO/Echelon 2 commands for consideration. BSO/Echelon 2 commands remain the approval authority for controlled rate requests. Requests not approved by the BSO/Echelon 2 command will be returned to the originating command, which can use the MAP quota to advance an alternate Sailor in a non- controlled rate. b. The following rates, by component, are controlled for the FY-18 MAP Season (i.e., BSO/Echelon 2 approval required to be MAP advanced into the rates listed): (1) AC: AWS1, BM1, CSS1, ABF2, ABH2, AD2, AE2, AM2, AME2, AO2, AT2, CSS2, CTM2, GSE2, MN2, PS2, SH2. (2) FTS: AME1, AS1, AT1, PR1, AME2, AS2, AT2. c. A request for a controlled rate quota must be submitted from the CO, via the chain of command, to their BSO/Echelon 2 command for approval. Adjudication and notification of the controlled rate requests by the BSO/Echelon 2 should be made no later than 30 days upon receipt. A copy of the BSO/Echelon 2 authorization letter must be submitted as an enclosure with the MCL as directed in paragraph 7. Each BSO/Echelon 2 command is the approval authority for exceptions to policy (ETP) for their subordinate commands. 5. MAP Quotas. MAP quotas are allocated to both individual commands and BSO/Echelon 2 commands. a. Command MAP quotas are calculated based on the eligible E3- E5 Billets Authorized (BA) at the command level, to include any subordinate UICs. The specific number of quotas, if any, will depend on the size of the E3-E5 BA at the command level, to include BA at both the parent and subordinate unit identification codes (UIC). At a minimum, a command with at least 15 E3-E5 BA will receive a MAP quota at the paygrade with the most billets (e.g., a command with 5 E3 billets and 10 E4 billets will receive 1 E5 quota). All Sailors assigned to subordinate UICs are eligible for MAP quotas assigned to the parent command. b. The BA associated with commands that do not generate MAP quotas are aggregated and then allocated to the BSO/Echelon 2 for distribution to any commands within that BSO/Echelon 2, including the headquarters command. c. All commands are authorized to request quotas from their BSO/Echelon 2, via their immediate superior in command (ISIC) and type commander (TYCOM), whether or not command quotas are authorized. BSO/Echelon 2s and TYCOMs may issue specific guidance on due dates or how subordinate commands must request a quota. Each BSO/Echelon 2 command is the approval authority for ETPs for their subordinate commands. d. The list of MAP quotas by UIC can be found on the Navy Personnel Command (NPC) website at http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers- npc/career/enlistedcareeradmin/ advancement/pages/map.aspx. 6. MAP Eligibility. MAP is open to all Sailors who meet advancement eligibility requirements. a. MAP open season will take place from 1 July 2018 to 31 August 2018. MAP redistribution season will take place from 1 September 2018 to 30 September 2018. b. The effective date of advancement is based on the date of the COs MCL but no earlier than 1 July 2018. The date of rate for E4-E6 MAP candidates will be 1 July 2018 while the date of rate for E2 and E3 MAP candidates will be the date of the MCL. Commands are encouraged to begin their MAP selection process and submit their MCL as early as possible to ensure Sailors are advanced and paid expeditiously. c. Sailors can only be meritoriously advanced one paygrade. Sailors can only be meritoriously advanced once during FY18 MAP Season. Sailors in a frocked status are not eligible for advancement to the next higher paygrade until effectively advanced (i.e., a frocked E5 cannot be meritoriously advanced to E6). However, COs are authorized and encouraged to MAP frocked Sailors who were selected for advancement from the Spring 2018, Cycle 239, NWAE provided they have not reached their effective pay date (i.e., a frocked E5 can be meritoriously advanced to E5. Refer to the profile sheet of the member for effective pay date). Sailors must have the following TIR in paygrades E1E5 for MAP advancement eligibility: (1) E6 1 July 2017 (1 July 2016 for nuclear-trained Sailors). (2) E5 and below No TIR requirement. d. COs may select an E6 MAP candidate with no-TIR through BSO/Ech 2 endorsement. The command must submit the BSO/Echelon 2 endorsement with the MCL. e. Sailors must be attached to the MAP authorized command during the FY- 18 MAP season. Projected rotation date change requests are recommended if a Sailor will transfer prior to the start of the MAP Season. f. Professional Apprenticeship Career Track (PACT) Sailors remain eligible for MAP advancement, provided the Sailor has an approved quota for rating designation (i.e., approved quota in Career Waypoints (C-WAY)) via the NWAE or Rating Entry Designation. MAP advancement is not authorized for PACT Sailors with designation approval for A-School required ratings. g. Director, Military Personnel Plans and Policy (OPNAV (N13)) is the determining authority for MAP eligibility ETPs. Any MAP eligibility ETP request will be submitted to OPNAV (N13) via the chain of command and copy to Enlisted Career Administration/Enlisted Boards (PERS-8031). ETPs for nuclear trained Sailors will be routed to OPNAV (N13) via OPNAV (N133). 7. MAP Validation. Commands will forward their MCL (copy to ISIC and TYCOM) to PERS-8031 listing their Sailors selected for meritorious advancement. MCLs must include all required information including the subordinate UIC the selected Sailor is attached, if applicable. a. PERS-8031 will review the record(s) of the selected Sailor(s) and validate the MCL. If there are no discrepancies PERS- 8031 will inform the command that their MAP selects are valid. Commands are not authorized to notify Sailor(s) of MAP selection until receipt of the PERS-8031 validation of the MCL. b. If discrepancies are discovered, PERS-8031 will invalidate the MCL and notify the command (copy to ISIC and TYCOM) of the reason(s) for invalidation. Commands may correct discrepancies and resubmit or identify new MAP candidates. c. If the social security number of the member is included on the MCL, then an encrypted e-mail is required for submission of the MCL (signed and scanned attachment) to PERS-8031 at advancements- active(at)navy.mil. The e- mail subject line must include the MAP UIC. Do not mail in the MCL if it has already been e-mailed. An e- mail response validating the MCL will be received within 5 business days of submission. d. If operational commitments preclude a command from submitting their MCL prior to the deadline, the command must forward the MCL with justification to their ISIC/chain of command for endorsement and further processing through PERS-8031. 8. Quota Redistribution. The BSO/Echelon 2 command has final authority to determine which command(s) will receive unused quotas during redistribution season. MAP redistribution season will take place from 130 September 2018. If awarded a redistributed quota from the BSO/Echelon 2 Commander, an additional MCL must be submitted to PERS-8031 as directed in paragraph 7. 9. Quota Substitution. Commands are not authorized to substitute paygrades for E5 and E6 MAP quotas (e.g., utilize an E6 MAP quota to advance an E3 Sailor to E4 or vice versa). MAP quotas are formulated based upon specific BA, thus substitution of quotas may cause over-execution of advancements at certain paygrades. The only allowance of quota substitution is that E4 MAP quotas may be used to advance Sailors to E2 and E3 paygrades. Commands should note that use of E4 quotas for paygrade E2 and E3 advancements will not result in a higher number of available quotas (i.e., one E4 quota may be used for one E2 advancement or one E3 advancement). 10. Subordinate UICs. COs are authorized to utilize MAP quotas at their subordinate UICs. MAP Quotas are distributed by command UIC and must be used to advance a Sailor permanently assigned, or temporary additional duty for greater than 30 days, to that UIC or subordinate UIC. 11. Navy Recruiting Districts (NRD) are authorized to use one AC/FTS MAP quota per NRD for reserve Sailors filling Canvasser Recruiter billets. 12. MAP Website. Example forms and FAQs can be downloaded via the NPC website at http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers- npc/career/enlistedcareeradmin/advancement/pages/map.aspx The list of POCs for each BSO/Echelon 2 command and list of parent and subordinate UICs can also be found on this website. 13. Point of contact. Navy Personnel Command (PERS-8031) at (901) 874- 4457/DNS 882, or via e-mail at advancements-active(at)navy.mil 14. This NAVADMIN will remain in effect until superseded or canceled, whichever comes first. 15. Released by Vice Admiral R. P. Burke, N1.// BT #0001 NNNN UNCLASSIFIED//

Command Education Services Officers (ESOs) must monitor the Navy Enlisted Advancement System Web service to view updates that show (by UIC) the number of answer sheets processed and the number of candidate record discrepancies. Commands should make every effort to clear discrepancies as soon as they are posted. Discrepancies that are not corrected can result in an advancement candidate's invalidation.

Candidates eligible to participate in Active Duty E4-E6 advancement cycle 240 (September 2018) can now download their exam bibliographies from Navy COOL or My Navy Portal. Bibliographies are exam specific and represent all reference material used by rating subject matter experts to verify exam content. Advancement Exam Bibliographies Bibliography for Advancement in Rate

Sailors competing for advancement can earn valuable Final Multiple Score (FMS) points by falling in the top 25% of two FMS elements - performance and rating knowledge. Any Sailor that does not advance due to quota limitations can earn 1.5 points if their Performance Mark Average was in the top 25%; and/or 1.5 points can be earned if an advancement candidate's standard score falls in the top 25%. No more than 15 points over five advancement cycles can be used as a Sailor's PNA factor for the FMS.

Come September 2019, sailors will have to pass an online military knowledge test in order to take the E-4, E-5 and E-6 advancement exams. The test, announced last week by the Navy, contains 100 questions pertaining to professional military knowledge, or PMK; it must be passed once per pay grade before a sailor is eligible to take the actual advancement exam. “Direct feedback from sailors” was the reason the Navy gave for the change. https://www.stripes.com/news/new-pretest-required-before-sailors-can-sit-for-advancement-exam-1.521236

PENSACOLA, Fla. (NNS) -- Sailors that were previously ineligible for advancement exams due to a Career Waypoint (CWAY) status of Denied Final Active (DFA) have been reinstated by a policy change from the Chief of Naval Personnel April 4. Announced in Naval Administrative Message (NAVADMIN) 086/18, the policy change enables commands to order substitute Navy-Wide Advancement Exams (NWAE) for their Sailors in a CWAY-DFA status. Late exam orders for these Sailors under Exam Cycle 239 (March 2018) can only be ordered until April 20. The deadline for all other substitute exam orders is April 6. "Educational Services Officers should contact the Navy Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC) for substitute exams for those Sailors whose regular exams were not ordered due to being identified as DFA in CWAY," said Tom Updike, Enlisted Exam Execution division head for the Navy Advancement Center. "Exams should be ordered via message or via e-mail in message format in accordance with the Advancement Manual." Topics and bibliography references for the substitute exams are available on the Advancement and Promotion webpage located on the My Navy Portal website. Bibliographies are also available via the Navy Credentialing Opportunities Online website and Navy COOL Application. Additional details including references for ESOs can be found in the NAVADMIN. Questions should be addressed to the Navy Personnel Command Customer Service Center: 866-U-ASK-NPC or email: uasknpc(at)navy.mil. The Navy Advancement Center exam ordering and discrepancies branch can be reached via: 850-473-6148.

The Cycle 239 update (NAVADMIN 086/18) may require commands to request additional late exams. Commands that have Sailors with a Career Waypoint (CWAY) status of Denied Final Active (DFA) will remain eligible for advancement based on the updated guidance. Prior to the Cycle 239 policy update, commands did not have a requirement to order exams for advancement candidates in a CWAY-DFA status. If you did not take the Cycle 239 exam due to your CWAY status, contact your command ESO today!

For the sake of consistency, it most likely would be helpful to add the name and SSN to the top left corner. However, the information you are providing is for documents contained in a member's record (OMPF - Official Military Personnel File) to view in EMPRS. A letter to the board is sent directly to the board. "Selection Boards use the same system, EMPRS, to view the digital images contained in the OMPF." In the below statement it refers to a third party, most likely an admin, to add the member's name and SSN if necessary (if no identifying information is provided). Again the LTB is sent directly to the board but is not submitted to the OMPF. "Ensure that both the member's name and SSN are on the document. If necessary, write the member's name and SSN in the top, left-hand corner of each document submitted. " Additionally, the title of BUPERSINST 1070.27C is Document Submission Guidelines for the Electronic Military Personnel Records System. Inside it states that the OMPF is a permanent record of required information of that member. Again, I don't think an LTB is submitted to the OMPF and would not be permanent.

PENSACOLA, Fla. (NNS) -- The Professional Military Knowledge (PMK) section of the Navy-Wide Advancement Exam (NWAE) will transition to a stand-alone, once-per pay grade, electronically-delivered eligibility exam starting in October 2018 as announced in NAVADMIN 085/18. The Electronic PMK Eligibility Exam (PMK-EE) will expand from the current 25 questions to 100 for the stand-alone exam, but Sailors will only have to pass that exam once per pay grade. The PMK information will be removed from the NWAE starting with the September 2019 Cycle 244 (E-4/5/6). Future NWAEs will then consist of 175 rating-related questions. "This effort is a result of direct feedback we received from Sailors," said Naval Education and Training Command Force Master Chief Karim Cole. "As part of Sailor 2025 and rating modernization efforts, the PMK exam continues to emphasize the importance of Professional Military Knowledge, while also taking this initial step into the electronic exam process." Additionally, this change enables Sailors preparing for the NWAE to concentrate exclusively on job-specific knowledge. Sailors will have a single path to access the PMK-EE -- via My Navy Portal (MNP) through the Learning Management System (LMS). The online exam will consist of five topic areas: Leadership and Character, Career Information, Professional Conduct, Naval Heritage, and Seamanship. Each topic may be taken independently of the other sections, in any order, and not necessarily during the same MNP session. Sailors taking the PMK-EE must achieve a passing score of 80 percent or higher in each area to pass the entire exam. Failure to achieve an 80 percent score on a topic will require that topic to be retaken in order to pass. Once each PMK-EE topic area is completed, the LMS will provide the number of questions successfully answered for that topic, as well as the associated reference from the bibliography for incorrectly answered questions. Once all topic areas are successfully completed, the PMK-EE will be finalized in the LMS and an overall exam score will be displayed. The topics and bibliographies used to develop PMK-EE questions will be available on the Advancement and Promotion webpage located on the MNP website. Bibliographies are also available via the Navy Credentialing Opportunities On-line (COOL) website and Navy COOL mobile application. PMK-EE will serve as an additional eligibility requirement for advancement to pay grades E-4/5/6/7 and must be successfully completed by the first day of the NWAE administration month. For Advancement Cycle 244, that would be September 1, 2019. PMK-EE completion will be recorded in the LMS and the Navy Training Management Planning System (NTMPS). NTMPS can be used to determine individual Sailor eligibility for advancement.
