Sailors recently selected for advancement to E4-E6 will remain in a frocked status until their pay incrementation date. All advancements from the Fall cycle occur January through June. No less than three percent of Sailors will be advanced each month, with the majority of advancements occurring in the final pay increment. Roughly 85% of the Sailors selected for advancement in November will be advanced on June 16th. 

Pay increments are determined by each Sailor's Final Multiple Score standing in their rating and across the entire paygrade, NOT their percentile. An updated profile sheet will be generated when a Sailor's increment is determined. Sign up for email notifications on your profile sheet page.

In line with reference (a), all Active Duty Sailors in the ABE, ABF, ABH, AME, AO, CS, DC, EM, IC, GM, GSM, MM, QM, and RS ratings will be administered the RKE, which is executed through the exam process. RKE advancements will be conducted via Advance to Position (A2P) and Command Advance to Position (CA2P). Reference (a) should be read in its entirety for Billet Based Advancement (BBA) policy. b. In line with reference (b), all other Active Duty and TAR Sailors will take NWAEs to compete for advancement via NWAE cycle- based legacy advancements. 2. In line with references (b) and (c), the Enlisted Advancement Worksheet (EAW) is the authoritative source of data used to determine Cycle 268 E5 and E6 eligibility. a. Commands are to accurately validate, complete, and finalize all EAWs in the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System. b. For some Sailors in BBA ratings, Educational Services Officers (ESOs) may be required to wait until the effective advancement date for the applicable paygrade to be updated before an EAW can be created manually. c. EAW discrepancies should be addressed via the Post- examination Administration Comment (PAC) process after Cycle 268 worksheets are locked. 3. Cycle 268 timeline: a. 31 July 2025: Professional Military Knowledge - Eligibility Exam (PMK-EE) completion deadline. b. 31 August 2025: Enlisted Leader Development (ELD) course completion deadline. c. 4 September 2025: E6 exam administration.

Deviation from administration dates. In line with reference (b), commands that require rescheduling of NWAE or RKE administration date(s) (with valid reason) may request a deviation of NWAE or RKE administration from Navy Personnel Command (PERS- 803). If authorized, administration will be completed by 30 September 2025. 4. Eligibility requirements are found in chapter 2 of reference (b). The following information is specific to Cycle 268: a.
