Folks, I had to remove the MP4 video that was uploaded because I received a "suspicious process" alert at 6:52 AM today. It's not anything any member did wrong.

PNA (Pass Not Advanced) points are added to your FMS (E4/5/6 only) if you pass the test, demonstrate superior performance and/or superior rating knowledge, but are not advanced to the next-higher paygrade. PNA points come from two sources, your Exam Standard Score (SS) and your Performance Mark Average (PMA). You can receive 1.5 points each for PMA and SS per cycle for a maximum of 3.0 points per cycle. Only the PNA points from the most recent five of the last six consecutive examination cycles in the same paygrade are used, so the maximum PNA point total can only reach 15. PNA points for PMA are based on how you rank among your peers. Your PMA must fall within the top 25% of ranked performance mark averages to garner points. Similarly, PNA Points for SS is based on all exam standard scores where your SS must fall in the top 25% in your paygrade/rating to earn points when not advanced.

Congratulations to the following personnel who have been selected for advancement to master chief petty officer by the FY-17 Active-Duty Navy E9 Selection Board.

Congratulations @KnockoutTrish to you and your husband and all who got it + family.

Keeping up with administrative requirements in the Navy may just be the toughest job each Sailor has. In a perfect world, every Sailor is keeping multiple copies of their awards, evals, qualifications, degrees and are checking their record regularly to make sure that everything is being correctly documented and if not, is taking immediate action to rectify the situation.

The Navy Advancement Center recently provided enlisted planners with test passer numbers for the Active Duty, Full Time Support and Canvasser Recruiter enlisted components. The test passer report enables Enlisted Community Mangers to develop quotas for each rating. Quotas are based on vacancies and are filled by the most qualified Sailors through rank-ordered Final Multiple Score (FMS) listings. To date, these are total number of candidates who passed the Cycle 231 (March) rating advancement exam: * Active Duty E6 = 25,618 E5 = 36,492 E4 = 25, 511 * Full Time Support E6 = 1,007 E5 = 661 E4 = 310 * Canvasser Recruiter E6 = 119 E5 = 12 Although Navy exams are not pass/fail like a typical A school or high school test, it is possible to fail a Navy-wide advancement exam. To eliminate the guess potential and to support the statistical analysis of individual questions, the Navy established the following "fail" standards for a 175-question advancement exam: E6/E7: 61 E5: 55 E4: 49 So, an E3 taking an E4 test who answers only 48 questions correctly on a rating advancement exam will NOT be able to compete for advancement that cycle. Typically, only 3% of Active Duty advancement candidates fail the advancement exam. Cycle 231 E4-E6 advancement results are scheduled to be released around Memorial Day. Good luck to all candidates!

RTTUZYUW RUOIAAA9874 1101614-UUUU--RUOIAAA ZNR UUUUU R 191512Z APR 16 PSN 352971H27 FM CNO WASHINGTON DC TO NAVADMIN BT UNCLAS PASS TO OFFICE CODES: FM CNO WASHINGTON DC//N1// NAVADMIN 089/16// MSGID/GENADMIN/CNO WASHINGTON DC/N1/APR// SUBJ/MERITORIOUS ADVANCEMENT PROGRAM UPDATE// REF/A/SECNAV WASHINGTON DC/121505ZJUN15// REF/B/DOC/BUPERS/2NOV07// NARR/REF A IS ALNAV 050/15, DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY TALENT MANAGEMENT INITIATIVES. REF B IS BUPERSINST 1430.16F, ADVANCEMENT MANUAL FOR ENLISTED PERSONNEL OF THE U.S. NAVY AND U.S. NAVY RESERVE.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces continuing the Navy�s efforts toward innovative ways to attract and retain highly talented Sailors per reference (a), this NAVADMIN provides policy and guidance for the FY-16 Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP) to include the expansion of MAP to shore commands and Professional Apprenticeship Career Track (PACT) Sailors. The increase in MAP quotas and expansion to PACT Sailors and shore commands empowers commanding officers (CO) to recognize sustained superior performance through immediate advancement. MAP is not intended to continue Sailors on active-duty that would otherwise be facing separation due to high year tenure, denied final active (DFA) reenlistment, or to advantage Sailors in rates with low advancement opportunities. Sailors with a DFA reenlistment who are subsequently nominated for MAP will only receive one additional Career Waypoints look for a reenlistment quota. 2. MAP Strategic Working Group. The MAP modifications are the result of a strategic working group comprised of Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy�s Leadership Mess and Senior Enlisted Leaders throughout the fleet which was established to examine greater opportunity and flexibility for command leadership triads to recognize their best Sailors. The working group assessed lessons learned from FY-15 MAP, incorporated input from the fleet, and evaluated impact to enlisted rates (specifically community health and continuing advancement opportunities). As a result, community health concerns and time-in-rate (TIR) requirements will be considerations for MAP eligibility. Quotas will be distributed to individual commands according to MAP eligible E3 to E5 billets authorized (BA). 3. Community Health. The need to maintain healthy communities exists to effectively balance the enlisted force and continue to provide Sailors advancement opportunity via the Navy Wide Advancement Exams (NWAE) across all rates. a. To help ensure community health, provide advancement opportunity via the NWAE, and to mitigate risk of zero NWAE opportunity for future exam cycles, echelon II commanders will have limited opportunity to approve quotas in the controlled rates listed below. Commands who wish to nominate a Sailor in one of these rates must submit their request via their chain of command to the designated echelon II command for consideration. Quotas not approved by the echelon II Commander will be returned to the originating command for an alternate Sailor in an unrestricted rate. b. The following rates, by component, are controlled for the FY -16 MAP Season (i.e., echelon II approval required to be MAP advanced into the rates listed): (1) Active Component: AME1, AWF1, AWO1, AWV1, BM1, CTM1, EO1, GSM1, MR1, SH1, UT1, AWF2, AWR2, CSS2, GSM2, MR2, SH2, STS2; (2) Full Time Support: AME1, AO1, AS1, ATI1, ATO1, AZ1, CS1, ET1, IT1, NCC1, PR1, AME2, AS2, ATI2, AZ2, EM2, ET2, PR2, AO3, AWF3, ET3, PR3. c. A COs request for a controlled rate quota must be submitted to their designated echelon II command via their chain of command by 15 June 2016. Controlled rate quota requests may be submitted upon release of this NAVADMIN. Echelon II adjudication and notification will be completed by 30 June 2016. If approved, the Echelon II controlled rate quota authorization must be submitted as an enclosure with the MAP certification letter (MCL) in accordance with paragraph 8. 4. Command MAP Quotas. The quota formula as defined in reference (b) is cancelled. The total number of quotas, by paygrade, will now be calculated based on eligible E3 to E5 BA only. The specific number of quotas, if any, will depend on the size of the E3 to E5 BA at the command level. This may result in an increase or decrease in quotas from previous years. The list of MAP quotas by unit identification code (UIC) can be found on the Navy Personnel Command website at http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers- npc/career/talentmanagement/Pages/MAP.aspx. 5. Echelon II MAP Quotas. For units without sufficient minimum number of BA to generate a MAP quota(s), their designated echelon II command will be allocated a small number of MAP quota(s) that may be distributed to subordinate commands. All COs with MAP eligible Sailors, whether or not command quotas are authorized, can request quotas from their designated echelon II command. These echelon II quotas provide additional opportunity for units to recognize top performing Sailors. 6. De-activating and Pre-commissioning Units. Due to the unique nature and dynamic manning of deactivating units and pre-commissioning units, BA may not accurately reflect manpower at these units. Therefore, deactivating and pre- commissioning units may request an exception to policy (ETP) to use current on board manning of E3 - E5 personnel as of 1 July 2016 to determine if and how many MAP quotas are authorized. An ETP request is not required if the deactivating or pre-commissioning unit receives command MAP quotas as discussed in paragraph 4. 7. MAP Eligibility. MAP is open to all Sailors who meet advancement eligibility requirements. a. MAP open season will take place from 1 July 2016 to 31 August 2016. The effective date of advancement is the date of the COs MCL or 1 July 2016, whichever is later. 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. b. MAP redistribution season will take place from 1 September 2016 to 30 September 2016. The effective date of advancement is the date of the COs MCL or 1 September 2016, whichever is later. See paragraphs 9 and 11 for additional information. c. All MAP Candidates must meet the minimum requirement per reference (b) by 1 January 2017. Sailors that took the FY-16 Spring NWAE (e.g. Frocked, Passed Not Advanced) and Sailors eligible for the FY-16 Fall NWAE are now eligible for FY-16 MAP. d. COs may waive up to 12 months of the required TIR for E5 Sailors who have received a promotion recommendation of Early Promote on the most recent observed periodic evaluation. e. COs may use MAP quotas on either active component or full-time support Sailors. f. Sailors must be attached to the MAP authorized command during the FY-16 MAP Season. Planned rotation date change requests are recommended if a Sailor will transfer prior to the start of the MAP Season. g. PACT Sailors are eligible for MAP advancement. PACT Sailors must complete a minimum of 12 months onboard their permanent duty station, meet TIR requirement for advancement to E4 by 1 January 2017 and have an approved quota for rating designation (i.e. approved quota in 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. 8. MAP Validation. Commands will forward their MCL (copy to immediate superior in command (ISIC) and type commander) to Enlisted Career Administration/Enlisted Boards (PERS-81) listing their MAP selects. a. PERS-81 will review the record(s) of the selected Sailor(s) and validate the MCL. If there are no discrepancies PERS-81 will inform the command that their MAP selects are valid. Commands are encouraged to notify Sailor(s) immediately upon validation notification to prevent a Sailor from discovering MAP advancement through other means (e.g. pay and personnel IT systems). b. If discrepancies are discovered, PERS-81 will invalidate the MCL and notify the command of the reason(s) for invalidation. Commands would then be able to correct the discrepancy or identify new MAP candidate(s). c. E-mail is the preferred method for submission of the MCL to PERS-81 at: advancements-active(at)navy.mil. An e-mail response validating the MCL should be received within four 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 for endorsement and further processing through PERS-81. 9. Quota Request. COs with Sailors meeting the eligibility requirements for MAP advancement may request a MAP quota from their designated echelon II command, via their chain of command. This request may be in addition to the MAP quotas allocated for their command as discussed in paragraph 4. a. COs with command MAP Quotas retain the ability to return unused quotas or petition for more in FY-16. b. Additionally, COs that did not initially receive a quota via command MAP quotas can request echelon II MAP quotas. c. The echelon II commander can distribute unused or allocated quotas to any command within their domain. d. If a command wishes to request unused or echelon II quotas, a quota request letter (QRL) is required to be submitted via their chain of command to the designated echelon II command by 15 June 2016. Commands may submit their QRL upon release of this NAVADMIN. Echelon II adjudication and notification of echelon II MAP quotas will be completed by 30 June 2016. This request is not required if the command had MAP quotas allocated for their command as discussed in paragraph 4 and do not desire additional quotas. 10. Echelon II Quota Distribution. The echelon II commander has final authority to determine which command(s) will receive echelon II MAP quotas. Echelon II commanders may only distribute quotas to COs that submitted a QRL in accordance with paragraph 9. If awarded a quota from the echelon II commander, an additional MCL must be submitted. 11. Quota Redistribution. The echelon II commander also has final authority to determine which command(s) will receive unused quotas during redistribution season. Echelon II commands may only distribute quotas to Cos that submitted a QRL in accordance with paragraph 9. Echelon II adjudication and notification of redistributed quotas will be completed no later than 15 September 2016. If awarded a redistributed quota from the echelon II commander, an additional MCL must be submitted to PERS-81 no later than 30 September 2016. 12. Quota Substitution. Commands are not authorized to substitute paygrades for 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. 13. Subordinate UICs. COs are not authorized to utilize MAP quotas at a subordinate UIC. MAP Quotas are distributed by UIC and must be used to advance a Sailor permanently assigned, or temporary additional duty for greater than 30 days, to that UIC. A CO may request an ETP via their chain of command to authorize use of MAP quota(s) at a subordinate UIC. 14. Selected Reserve (SELRES). In order to preserve and maximize advancement opportunity, there will be a moratorium placed on MAP for SELRES in FY-16. This is due to strength reductions and changes in force structure which have resulted in multiple over-manned rates and created community health challenges in the SELRES force. Navy Recruiting Districts (NRD) are authorized to use one MAP quota per NRD for reserve Sailors filling Canvasser Recruiter billets. 15. MAP Website. Example forms for the MCL, QRL, and echelon II controlled rate quota request can be downloaded via the Navy Personnel Command website at http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers- npc/career/talentmanagement/Pages/MAP.aspx. The list of point of contacts for each designated echelon II command and additional frequently asked questions can also be found on this website. 16. Exception to Policy. Director, Military Personnel Plans and Policy (OPNAV (N13)) is the determining authority for MAP. All ETP requests will be submitted to OPNAV (N13) via the chain of command (e.g., ISIC and echelon II endorsements) and copy PERS-81. 17. The points of contact for this matter is Navy Personnel Command (PERS- 812), at (901)874-4457 or via e-mail at advancements-active(at)navy.mil. 18. This NAVADMIN will remain in effect until superseded or canceled, whichever comes first. 19. Released by Vice Admiral W. F. Moran, N1.// BT #9874 NNNN UNCLASSIFIED//

Bibliographies for the September exams are available for download on NKO and Navy COOL

PENSACOLA, Fla. (NNS) -- The September 2016 Navywide enlisted examinations (Cycle 232) 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) 083/16, released April 4. Each Navy examination consists of 25 professional military knowledge and 150 job-specific rating technical questions. The Navywide examination dates are Sept. 1 (E6), Sept. 8 (E5) and Sept. 15 (E4). Examination results will be released to command triads in November, before being posted on the Navy Enlisted Advancement System (NEAS) website. "Bibliographies for the September exams have been posted and are now available for download on the Navy Knowledge Online and Navy COOL websites," said Master Chief Electronics Technician (Nuclear Power) (SS) James Berhalter, command master chief of the Naval Education and Training Professional Development and Technology Center. To download the bibliographies and an exam-specific topic list for the upcoming cycle, go to the Navy Advancement Center's web portal on NKO at https://www.nko.navy.mil/group/navy-advancement-center/bibliographies?inheritRedirect=true. BIBs are also available on the Navy Credentialing Opportunities Online (COOL) website: http://www.cool.navy.mil/usn under the credentials tab. "A good exam preparation plan is important because of the way the Navy grades exams," said Berhalter. "A Sailor's score is based off how many questions were answered correctly compared to everyone else taking the same exam. With that in mind, I would recommend Sailors use the official Navy bibliography as their sole resource for exam preparation." During Advancement Examination Readiness Reviews held at NETPDTC, visiting E7-9 fleet subject-matter experts in each enlisted rating ensure all examination questions can be linked to 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. 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. Specific information on exam eligibility is detailed in NAVADMIN 083/16 and on the NEAS website. 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.netc.navy.mil/. For more information about the Navy Advancement Center and NEAS, visit NAC's ** Please read the guidelines ** site.

This is a coordinated Deputy Under Secretary of the Navy Policy (DUSN(P)) Security, and Department of the Navy Chief Information Officer (DON CIO) message as part of the Department of the Navy's (DON) cyber/traditional security partnership for the protection of national security information and information systems. 2. Purpose and Definitions. The purpose of this ALNAV is to provide interim policy for acceptable use of personal portable electronic devices (PPEDs) in specific DON spaces based on device capability. Terms used in this ALNAV are defined below: a. A portable electronic device (PED) is defined in REF A as any non- stationary electronic apparatus with singular or multiple capabilities of recording, storing, and/or transmitting data, voice, video, or photo images (e.g., cell phones, laptops, tablets, and wearable devices such as fitness bands and smart watches). b. "Personal" in this message refers to PEDs personally owned by DON Sailors, Marines, civilians, and support contract personnel. c. Commanding Officer (CO) in this message is a generic term used to identify a position of authority at any DON organization, base, station, unit, laboratory, installation, facility, center, activity, detachment, squadron, ship, battalion, regiment, etc. d. Homeland connotes the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, United States possessions and territories, and surrounding territorial waters and airspace, per REF B. e. Near Field Communication (NFC) connotes a short-range wireless communication system employing radio waves to enable a mobile device to interact with another device or card reader when within 10 cm (4 in) of each other. 3. Scope and Applicability. This ALNAV applies to all DON Sailors, Marines, civilians, and contract personnel regarding the use of PPEDs with specific capabilities in spaces where collateral classified information is processed, transmitted, stored, or discussed. Non-DON personnel are prohibited from introducing PPEDs into DON spaces. This ALNAV does not prevent COs from issuing stricter policy in accordance with the needs of their commands; authorize introduction of PPEDs into any DON spaces located outside the homeland or in Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs) (see REF C); or apply to PEDs issued by the DON for official business. 4. Discussion. The proliferation of PPEDs in the form of wearable technology has increased dramatically since the introduction of wearable heart rate monitors in the 1980s. Today's portable electronic activity monitoring devices, (e.g., fitness, communication, and medical) offer a wide range of personal, professional, and health benefits. However, these devices may pose security risks to DON information and information systems. This message specifically identifies capabilities associated with PPEDs that are permitted in DON spaces where collateral classified information is processed, transmitted, stored, or discussed in order to allow PPED use while minimizing risk to DON information. It also lays the groundwork for future DON wireless policies. 5. Action. Effective immediately, all DON personnel using PPEDs in DON spaces where collateral classified information is processed, transmitted, stored, or discussed must comply with the requirements and responsibilities cited below: a. PPEDs are permitted: (1) If commercially obtained in the U.S. or through a U.S. military exchange and assigned a Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Identifier denoting compliance with the limits for a Class B digital device designated by the FCC, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules, per REF D. (2) If they contain only vendor-supplied software and receive only updates that do not add any features or capabilities prohibited in this message. (3) If they have any or all of the following: Bluetooth, Global Positioning System (GPS) (RECEIVE-ONLY), accelerometer, altimeter, gyroscope, heart monitor, vibration, and/or NFC capabilities. (4) If they have password/pin protections enabled and have up-to-date anti-virus software protection installed, where those capabilities exist. b. PPEDs are prohibited: (1) If they contain cellular and/or Wi-Fi transceivers, or other technologies not permitted in para 5.a. of this ALNAV. (2) If they have photographic, video capture/recording, microphone, and/or audio recording capabilities. (3) From being connected to any government information system either directly or indirectly using wired or wireless accessories (e.g., Bluetooth dongles and charging cables). (4) If they have removable media installed. (5) If they have the capability to perform radio frequency transmissions at greater than 100 milliwatts (mW) Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power (EIRP). Where feasible, EIRP shall be determined using FCC data. c. Commanding Officers: (1) Ensure dissemination and enforcement of this policy, employing either technical monitoring per REFs E and F or through physical checks, spot checks, and/or physical searches. (2) Ensure compliance with the security incident reporting requirements of REFs B, G, H and I. DON personnel who knowingly and willfully violate the requirements in this message are subject to preliminary inquiry and incident reporting in the Joint Personnel Adjudication System, potential loss of information system access, and possible punitive or administrative action. (3) May grant interim approval for medically related PPEDs when the capabilities they possess are prohibited by this message. In those instances, the Navy or USMC Authorizing Official must be notified within 30 days of device make/model, the capability presenting risk, and the proposed mitigation. d. DON personnel: (1) Ensure PPEDs meet the criteria in para 5.a, prior to introducing them into areas where collateral classified information is processed, transmitted, stored, or discussed. (2) Ensure the CO has not levied additional restrictions or prohibitions prior to introducing PPEDS in DON spaces where collateral classified information is processed, transmitted, stored, or discussed. (3) Obtain approval, per para 5.c(3) of this ALNAV, for any medically related PPEDs prior to introduction into areas where collateral classified information is processed, transmitted, stored, or discussed. 6. This ALNAV remains in effect until incorporated in future DON wireless policy and REF G for safeguarding and reporting requirements. 7.

The Baltimore-built USS Conestoga had been missing for months by the summer of 1921 and the letters still came from families. Fifty-six sailors and the celebrated tug boat had vanished into the Pacific without a distress call. The mystery gripped the nation.

Have a great weekend

The questions on Navy advancement exams are pulled from exam banks that are maintained by rating Chief Petty Officers during Advancement Exam Readiness Reviews. A typical rating exam bank will have approximately 3000 questions, and each rating's exam bank supports E4-E7 exam development. Questions have to be tied to rating Occupational Standards and must fit the test plan designed by the rating subject matter experts. Most importantly, each question must meet psychometric standards and statistical parameters. For example, when a question is answered correctly by all candidates, that question is thrown out and not used again. NAC exam standards require each question to identify the most knowledgeable Sailors. Similarly, a question that all Sailors get wrong will be thrown out. There are no trick questions, and each question is tied to a rating reference. That's why you should use the NAC bibliography only for exam preparation, because the BIB is exam specific and lists the exact references that were used to verify the questions on your exam.

It's okay. The rule of thumb is if the title were to have "Active" then the inclination would be to that group. What happens a lot is someone will make a reserve forum because they have legit questions specific to that group and are trying to be polite or whatnot. But then everyone will migrate back to the thread that has the most action. Once in awhile I'll just merge both because the other becomes dead. Complicated so no need for apologies but the important thing is that unless specified no one is excluded. (sometimes I've had an "active" "general" and "reserves" thread which is overkill and I merge them.) By the way, appreciate your posts

This thread is for both active and reserves...

A small number of Chief Petty Officer candidates did not receive a minimum Final Multiple Score (FMS) or exam Standard Score (SS) on their profile sheet. The reason - candidates who fail the exam do not get an FMS or SS. Even though Navy exams are not pass/fail, like a high school or A-school test, it is possible to "fail" a Navy advancement exam. To eliminate the guess potential, a candidate is removed from competition for advancement if his/her raw score (number of questions answered correctly) falls below the cut score standard for each paygrade. The idea is that Sailors can answer at least 1/4 of the items on the exam by guessing.

The Navy Advancement Center now has the Bibs available on the COOL website - CAC card no longer required. For those who do not need the Bibs anymore but have Sailors working for them, this is a great opportunity to let them know and have them get a copy on the COOL website.
