RMKS/1.  This NAVADMIN announces guidance for the administration of the 
January 2025 (Cycle 266) E7 Navy-Wide Advancement Examination (NWAE) for 
Active Duty and Training and Administration of the Reserves (TAR) Sailors. 
 
2.  In line with reference (a) and (b), the Enlisted Advancement Worksheet 
(EAW) is the authoritative source of data used to determine Cycle 266 E7 
eligibility.  Commands are to accurately validate, complete, and finalize all 
EAWs in the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS).  EAW 
discrepancies should be addressed via a Post-examination Administration 
Comment (PAC) process after worksheets are locked. 
 
3.  Cycle 266 timeline: 
    a.  30 November 2024:  Professional Military Knowledge - Eligibility Exam 
(PMK-EE) completion deadline. 
    b.  31 December 2024:  Enlisted Leaders Development (ELD) course 
completion deadline. 
    c.  16 January 2025:  Exam administration.  EAW will close one week after 
the exam date on the worksheet. 
    d.  Deviation from administration dates.  In line with reference (a), 
commands that require rescheduling of NWAE administration date (with valid 
reason) may request a deviation of NWAE administration from Navy Personnel 
Command, Enlisted Career Administration Division (PERS-803).  If authorized, 
administration will be completed by 31 January 2025. 
 
4.  Eligibility requirements are in line with reference (a), and the 
following information applies for Cycle 266: 
    a.  Terminal Eligibility Date:  1 January 2026. 
    b.  Time-in-Rate (TIR) date:  on or before 1 January 2023. 
    c.  Early Promote (EP) TIR waiver date:  on or before 1 January 2024.   
E7 candidate TIR requirements for EP can be waived by one year with 
Commanding Officer (CO) or Officer-In-Charge (OIC) approval.  EAW must be 
created manually for all who receive EP waiver.  EP candidates are still 
bound by the same PMK-EE deadline as regular TIR candidates. 
    d.  High Year Tenure (HYT).  In line with references (e) and (f), the HYT 
plus pilot program allows for Sailors to continue their Navy careers beyond 
the HYT limits.  References (e) and (f) should be read in their entirety.  In 
the EAW, the "HYT Exceeded" entry may reflect "Yes" - when applicable, select 
"Yes" for "HYT Waived." 
    e.  Security/Interim security clearance (if required).  Ratings requiring 
a security clearance are AC, AE, AG, AO, AT, AWF, AWO, AWR, AWS, AWV, AZ, 
CTI, CTM, CWT, CTR, CTT, EOD, ET, FC, FCA, GM, HT, IC, IS, IT, LN, MA, MC, 
MN, ND, OS, QM, RW, SB, SO, STG and YN, as well as all nuclear and submarine 
ratings.  All NWAE candidates must have applicable adjudication (top secret 
or secret) or CO/OIC interim clearance dated prior to 1 January 2025.  If 
clearance is revoked, an exam is not authorized until the discrepancy is 
corrected.  An eligibility determination of "No Determination Made" 
constitutes an unfavorable adjudication. 
    f.  Reporting Senior's Cumulative Average Performance Mark Average (RSCA 
PMA).  In line with reference (g), compute RSCA PMA for applicable E6 
evaluations dated from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2024. 
    g.  Use of EAW is mandatory, in line with reference (b). 
    h.  PMK-EE.  In line with reference (c), PMK-EE remains mandatory once 
per paygrade for all E7 candidates to be eligible for NWAE cycle 
participation, including EP and Limited Duty Officer (LDO) candidates.   
Waivers are normally not approved without extraordinary circumstances. 
    i.  ELD course completion is a required prerequisite for taking a NWAE in 
line with reference (d).  E7 candidates must complete the Advanced Leader 
Development Course (ALDC).  Special Warfare Operator (SO) and Special Boat 
Operator (SB) Sailors must complete the Naval Special Warfare Leading Petty 
Officer (LPO), or Naval Special Warfare Development Group LPO courses in lieu 
of ALDC.
