I kinda' heard different. There can't be a lot of packages with SSP, otherwise there wouldn't be anything superior to choose. From what I've heard more than once, it's more of a vetting process of selecting only the best packages. And I'm not 100% sure of the selection process but I'm sure that many people have a misconception of what Sustained Superior Performance is. The key still is SSP (above others) so when someones says "I have SSP nail", I say, only the board with those packages currently in the room will be able to determine that. My 2 cents worth...

Good point!

Ms. Kemp's function is administrative only though.

FY-18 ACTIVE-DUTY NAVY AND NAVY RESERVE SENIOR ENLISTED ADVANCEMENT SELECTION BOARD PRECEPT

That's ok, I'd rather hear the scuttlebutt than not.

UNCLASSIFIED PRIORITY P 132251Z JAN 17 FM CNO WASHINGTON DC TO NAVADMIN BT UNCLAS UNCLAS NAVADMIN 11/17 MSGID/GENADMIN/CNO WASHINGTON DC/N00D/JAN// SUBJ/50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE MCPON// RMKS/1. Today is the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the office of the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON). At that time, the Navy was experiencing extremely low morale across its enlisted force, very low retention and very high attrition across its ranks. At the same time, our force was engaged in supporting the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War. Out of all of this, it was decided a senior enlisted advisor was needed, someone who had the enlisted person's mentality, experience and tenacity to be honest with Navy leadership about real challenges concerning the enlisted force. Of a very prestigious group, GMCM Delbert Black was selected to be our first MCPON. 2. Many of you are familiar with this story, but on this day, 50 years hence, I request each of you to please take a moment to stop and reflect upon all the changes the Navy has made to improve the quality of life for enlisted Sailors and their families, and what we as Chief Petty Officers have played in that role. Throughout the years, each MCPON has made significant contributions to our force, strengthened our mess with their experience and turned what was once merely an advisory position to the CNO into an integral part of our Navy's leadership structure. 3. As we move forward this year, commemorating 50 years of the MCPON, remember our proud heritage as Chief Petty Officers, the many contributions each has made and will continue to do so as we move forward through the next 50 years. 4.

The Navy-Wide Advancement Exam (NWAE) will be administered on January 19 for all Active Duty and Full Time Support chief petty officer candidates, as well as PO1s who are applying for the LDO program. The 175-question exam has 150 occupational questions and 25 Professional Military Knowledge (PMK) items. Every question was verified by a rating subject matter expert and tied to a reference. Those references make up the exam-specific bibliography that can be downloaded on NAC's NKO portal or via Navy COOL. Exam topics and subtopics are also available to help candidates prepare for the exam. Exam scores are based on how well a candidate does in comparison to all other candidates taking the same exam. A score of 80 goes to the candidates who answer the most questions correctly. Good luck to all PO1s taking the exam next week!

Only the administrating Educational Services Officer (ESO) can approve the use of a personal calculator for the Navy-Wide Advancement Exam (NWAE). When in doubt, be sure to show the calculator to the ESO days before the exam is administered. DO NOT wait until exam day! -- What calculator features are permitted? Solar- or battery-powered, hand-held electronic calculators of any key configuration may be used so long as they are not capable of displaying only a single line of numeric and mathematical characters. Graphing calculators, calculators capable of displaying running text, mini-laptop computers, and similar items supporting information storage and retrieval are not authorized. Each candidate must provide a calculator for their own use. Additionally, examination proctors shall determine that your personal calculator is for mathematical use only and cannot be used for retrieving or storing text. Seabee ratings are not authorized to use preprogrammed construction, electrician, plumbing and other calculators designed specifically for tradesman use (such as Construction Master IV). Engineering Aid (EA) candidates are authorized to use general scientific calculators that are not programmable. Also, calculators assigned in A school may not be permitted for use during the NWAE. Again, when in doubt, check with your ESO.

For those pursuing HCA for FY-19

Is there a public copy of the results out there that anyone knows about?

This NAVADMIN provides guidance for eligibility, communication to the boards, and board membership or recorder application procedures regarding the FY-18 Navy Active-Duty and Reserve Enlisted Advancement Selection Boards for Chief Petty Officer. Rating modernization efforts have no impact on the FY-18 Selection Board. Traditional rating titles are used throughout this NAVADMIN. The reserve board will consider personnel serving on active-duty as Full Time Support (FTS) and Selected Reserve (SELRES), to include those serving on voluntary and involuntary recall and mobilization orders. Mobilized Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) personnel are considered under the SELRES requirements for advancement. 2. Timeline a. 28 February 2017: Individual Augmentation (IA) evaluations used for Time-In-Rate (TIR) waivers must have an ending date by this date and must be available to the board. b. 22 April 2017: Reserve Component (RC) candidates changing rating must be in their new rating by this date to be considered for selection in the new rating. c. 1 May 2017: Letter to the board (LTB) deadline for the RC E7 selection board. d. 22 May 2017: RC E7 selection board convenes. All eligibility requirements, to include any waivers, must have final approval prior to this date. e. 26 May 2017: Active Component (AC) board candidates changing rating must be in their new rating by this date to be considered for selection in the new rating. f. 5 June 2017: LTB deadline to the AC E7 selection board. g. 9 June 2017: RC E7 selection board scheduled to adjourn. h. 26 June 2017: AC E7 selection board convenes. All eligibility requirements, to include any waivers, must have final approval prior to this date. i. 21 July 2017: AC E7 selection board scheduled to adjourn. 3. Eligibility Criteria. Candidates must meet the eligibility requirements outlined in chapter 2 of reference (a) prior to the scheduled board convening date. Requirements achieved after the scheduled board convening date will be considered late and not make a candidate eligible for the regularly scheduled board or entitle a candidate for an enlisted special selection board. The authoritative source to determine selection board eligibility is the profile sheet. The AC/FTS cycle is 234 and the SELRES cycle is 100. Because eligibility status can change without direct notification, candidates should verify their profile sheet on a continuous basis and commands must verify their Exam Status Verification Report (ESVR) weekly through the projected board adjournment date. The profile sheet and ESVR are updated as changes are processed by PERS- 802. a. The candidate shares equal responsibility with their parent command to ensure: (1) the candidates name appears on the selection board eligibility list. (2) the candidate is listed in the correct competitive group. (3) the candidates Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) codes 30- 38 and Performance Summary Record (PSR) are up-to-date. b. If necessary, take the following actions per reference (a): (1) If an otherwise eligible candidate was not able to participate in the CPO advancement examination or obtain an examination waiver as per reference (b), the candidate and the command must submit an exception to policy request (waiving the exam) to OPNAV N132. This request should be submitted not later than one week after the scheduled substitute examination deadline. If approved, the candidate and the command must take appropriate action to ensure the candidate receives a profile sheet reflecting selection board eligible prior to the board convening date. (2) If listed candidates on the ESVR are ineligible or later become ineligible, submit a message to Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC) N321 and Navy Personnel Command (NPC) PERS-802 requesting invalidation of eligibility status and provide explanation for invalidation. Per paragraph 721b of reference (a), withdrawal of advancement recommendation must be completed and documented prior to message transmission. (3) If candidates are validated in the wrong competitive category, submit a message notification to NETPDC N321 and NPC PERS- 802 detailing the discrepancy. (4) If candidates are invalidated and later regain eligibility, submit a message to NETPDC N321 and NPC PERS-802 requesting validation of eligibility status and provide explanation. c. Candidates who do not have a recommendation for advancement on their most recent evaluation shall be invalidated. Evaluations that restore a recommendation for advancement must be made available to the selection board prior to the board convening date. d. Terminal Eligibility Date (TED) used to compute TIR is 1 January 2018. The minimum TIR date must be on or before l January 2015. If a TIR waiver is granted, the evaluation used to grant the TIR waiver must be available to the board. e. High Year Tenure (HYT) date or approved HYT waiver for the current paygrade must be 1 September 2017 or later. Candidates who will be at HYT on 1 September 2017 for the next higher paygrade are ineligible for advancement, regardless of any approved HYT waiver. f. SELRES candidates who have submitted a request to NPC for voluntary transfer to the retired reserve (with or without pay) on a date prior to their mandated HYT are ineligible for advancement. Members who were validated as Selection Board Eligible (SBE) and have submitted a request for voluntary transfer to the retired reserve (with or without pay) may regain SBE status provided disapproval of the original request or cancellation of previously approved request is adjudicated at NPC prior to selection board convening date. Otherwise, they are ineligible. Commands must revalidate members whose, disapproved or cancelled retirement authorization is adjudicated prior to selection board convening date by sending an e-mail with reason for revalidation to PERS-802. g. Commissioning Programs. Candidates who have been selected for Seaman to Admiral (STA-21), Medical Enlisted Commissioning Program (MECP), Medical Service Corps (MSC) in-service procurement, or Judge Advocate General's Corps in-service procurement programs remain eligible for advancement consideration. Selection to any other officer commissioning program renders candidates ineligible. Commands are required to request those candidates be invalidated by PERS-802. Per reference (c), nuclear candidates who are assigned Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) 3359/3389 upon transfer from a nuclear propulsion plant operator to a non-nuclear billet at sea or ashore, or to duty under instruction including special college education programs are ineligible for advancement. This includes nuclear candidates transferred to a STA-21 duty station. h. Security Clearance. Candidates in a rating requiring a security clearance must have a favorable investigation adjudication issued by the Department of Defense Central Adjudication Facility, and it must be reflected properly in Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS) prior to board convening. If the candidates commanding officer grants an interim clearance, JPAS must be updated prior to board convening. Candidates who have a clearance must maintain that clearance eligibility. Ratings requiring a security clearance are AC, AE, AG, AO, AT, AWF, AWO, AWR, AWS, AWV, AZ, CTI, CTM, CTN, CTR, CTT, EOD, ET, FC, FT, GM, HT, IC, IS, IT, ITS, LN, MA, MC, MN, MT, ND, OS, QM, SB, SO, STG, STS, and YN, as well as all nuclear and submarine ratings. This guidance supersedes reference (a). i. Branch class (BRCL) and special program indicator (SPI) code. SPI for BRCL 32 candidates must be verified via the Billet Based Distribution system. BRCL 32 with a blank SPI code is invalid. Commands must correct the error via the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) or the candidate may seek relief by petitioning the Board for Correction of Naval Records (BCNR). Candidates whose SPI code is invalid as of the board convening date will be invalidated. j. Refer to reference (b) regarding examination options for Sailors who are pending deployment to, or are deployed and operating in Iraq, Afghanistan, or the Horn of Africa. Commands must submit the command letter of transmittal per reference (a). The in-theater selection board eligibility waiver is not an automatic process. k. Competitive group specific eligibility requirements. Candidates must meet special requirements (citizenship, medical, etc.) for certain ratings as outlined in paragraph 204 of reference (a). Required NECs listed below must be posted in the enlisted master file prior to the regular scheduled board convening date. NECs that post to the enlisted master file after the regular scheduled board convening date, even with a prior date will not entitle a candidate to a special selection board. Commands must verify and submit a message to NETPDC N321 and NPC PERS-802 requesting invalidation of those selection board eligible candidates who no longer meet the qualifications listed in reference (a) or below by the scheduled board convening date. (1) Air Traffic Controller personnel must possess a valid Federal Aviation Administration 7220-1 ATCS Certificate and meet requirements established in reference (d). (2) Aerographers Mate personnel must complete the Aerographers Mate Class C-1 course and hold the 7412 NEC. (3) To ensure the best possible candidates are selected for chief petty officer, Aviation Electronics Technician (Intermediate) and Aviation Electronics Technician (Organizational) board eligible personnel are merged into one competitive group. (4) Cryptologic Technician Interpretive personnel must achieve a minimum of L2/R2 on the Defense Language Proficiency Test (DLPT) in their primary language, as assigned by their commanding officer, at least once in their current paygrade. Acceptable documentation of L2/R2 includes an evaluation with language scores or letter from the candidate's command forwarded to the board via the candidate's LTB. (5) Explosive Ordnance Disposal personnel must hold the Master EOD Technician NEC (5337). (6) Navy Diver personnel must hold the first class diver NEC (5342). (7) Nuclear Trained personnel (a) Submarine Sailors in nuclear ratings must hold a supervisor NEC (3363, 3364, 3365, 3366). Additionally, these personnel must have qualified as Engineering Watch Supervisor (EWS). Acceptable documentation of EWS qualification includes an evaluation with EWS documented or a letter from the candidates command forwarded to the board via the candidates LTB. (b) Surface Sailors in nuclear ratings must hold a supervisor NEC (3393, 3394, 3395, 3396). Additionally these personnel must have qualified as EWS or Propulsion Plant Watch Supervisor (PPWS). Acceptable documentation of EWS or PPWS qualification includes an evaluation with EWS or PPWS documented or a letter from the candidate's command forwarded to the board via the candidate's LTB. (8) Non-Nuclear Submarine Ratings. To be eligible for advancement, submarine Sailors must be designated as either SS, SU, or SQ per reference (e) as of the board convening date. Candidates designated as SG or SP are not eligible for advancement. l. Canvasser recruiter personnel are ineligible for advancement to E7. 4. Competitive Groups. Candidates and commands share responsibility to ensure that the candidate is listed in the correct competitive group and that any issue is identified and forwarded to PERS-802 prior to board convening. The below active-duty ratings are separated into competitive groups: a. CS, LS, YN Group 1 - Submarine Group 2 - Surface b. CTI Group 1 - Middle East and North Africa Group 2 - East and Far East Asia Group 3 - Latin and South America Group 4 - Eastern Europe c. EMN, ETN, MMN Group 1 - Nuclear (Submarine) Group 2 - Nuclear (Surface) d. FC Group 1 - All Others Group 2 - AEGIS e. MU Group 1 - Premier Band Group 2 - Fleet Band 5. Record review and communication with the E7 selection board. a. Candidates should check their evaluation continuity via BUPERS Online (BOL). Any evaluation gaps should be resolved by either submitting the missing evaluations in the candidates LTB or a statement in lieu of missing report per chapter 17 of reference (f). b. Communication to the board must originate from the individual candidate and must be accompanied under the candidates signed LTB. (1) The LTB may address any information that the candidate considers important. Candidates should not include items in their LTB that are already included in their OMPF or PSR unless the OMPF version is unreadable or the PSR is incorrect. Submission of a LTB to only state that the candidates OMPF and PSR have been verified and is correct is not desired. (2) The LTB must be either digitally signed using the candidates military identity certificate or a hand-written signature. Unsigned LTBs will not be presented to board members. (3) Third party correspondence is any communication to the board which is not accompanied by the candidates signed LTB and will not be permitted. Commands are not authorized to submit a message to NPC requesting information be presented to the board. This supersedes reference (a). (4) Information received that is not under a signed LTB or not received by NPC Customer Service Center (CSC) by the established deadline will not be presented to the board. The time and date LTBs are received in the NPC CSC inbox (Central Time Zone) is the time and date used for deadline verification. To verify receipt of your LTB, go to https://npccontactcenter.ahf.nmci. navy.mil/OA_HTML/npc.html or call the NPC CSC. Although late or unsigned LTBs may be accepted by the NPC CSC, they will not be presented to the board, and no feedback will be provided to the candidate. c. All LTBs and each enclosure must contain the candidates full name and full social security number. Candidates must verify that the correct board number is on their signed cover letter. The board numbers are 335 for SELRES, 336 for FTS, and 360 for AC. d. The preferred method to submit an LTB is by encrypted e-mail to cscselboard(at)navy.mil. E-mailed LTBs must be encrypted to protect personally identifiable information. Trouble with file encryption or certificate issues does not justify a late LTB. e. If unable to e-mail, candidates may use regular mail to the addresses below. Mailed LTBs should be on plain white paper and paper clipped (no staples, binders, folders or tabs). (1) SELRES/Mobilized E7 Board: Navy Personnel Command Customer Service Center President FY-18 Reserve E7 Selection Board #335 5720 Integrity Drive Millington, TN 38055 (2) FTS E7 Board: Navy Personnel Command Customer Service Center President FY-18 Reserve E7 Selection Board #336 5720 Integrity Drive Millington, TN 38055 (3) Active E7 Board: Navy Personnel Command Customer Service Center President FY-18 Active E7 Selection Board #360 5720 Integrity Drive Millington, TN 38055 f. Certified or registered mail is not advised due to delays in handling. g. Candidates are authorized to submit more than one LTB, vice waiting until the deadline to submit one all-inclusive LTB. Although multiple LTBs are authorized, candidates should not duplicate previously sent information. h. The same LTB deadline applies to candidates who gain eligibility after the LTB deadline and before the convening date. If a candidate is working to fix an eligibility issue and expects to be selection board eligible prior to the board convening date, they may submit a LTB, but it still must be received prior to the deadline. 6. Selection board results. Official results will be provided online via BOL to authorized command representatives prior to the release of the official results via NAVADMIN. Selectee profile sheets will be published by NETPDC within 30 days of both reserve and active selection board results being released via NAVADMIN. Educational services officers who are registered users may access results through the Navy Enlisted Advancement System (NEAS) website https://prod.neas.netc.navy.mil. Individual candidates may view/download their profile sheet via a .mil domain computer at https://prod.neas.netc.navy.mil/NEASrpts/Individual.aspx. 7. Special Selection Boards (SSB) a. SSBs may be approved for candidates who have demonstrated they were precluded from consideration at the selection board or were considered at the selection board in the incorrect competitive category and the administrative error was beyond the candidates control and not the direct or indirect result of their error, delay, or omission. SSB requests are to be submitted per paragraph 102d of reference (a) to PERS-803 vice PERS-811/812. b. All requests for SSBs must be received by PERS-803 no later than two years after the date the contested board results were made public. Requests received more than two years after the date the contested board results were made public will be treated as untimely and will normally be denied by Deputy Chief of Naval Personnel. If a request is delayed past the two year requirement and justification can be provided for the delay (BCNR or Inspector General (IG) action), the request will be considered. However, it may ultimately be denied if the reason for the delay is due to late submission of the initial BCNR or IG request. 8. Additional information regarding this cycle will be posted at: a.
