Do you want to maximize your opportunity to Stay Navy while remaining competitive for ideal orders? Apply for and obtain a secret clearance at least 18-months prior to your PRD. Security Clearances are mandatory for any special assignments. Firefighting screening packages are mandatory prior to your transfer to the DoD Fire Fighting Academy.

ADVANCEMENT OPPORTUNITY

Your opportunity to advance is based on manning needs at the next-higher paygrade. NAC rank-orders Sailors by their FMS, and advance a number of candidates based on quotas for each rating and paygrade. Check your rating's Enlisted Community Manager page to see manning trends. (N32)


EDUCATION POINTS

Advancement candidates can earn two points for an associates degree and four points for a bachelor's degree. Transcripts must be mailed to the Virtual Education Center (VEC), which serves as the Navy College Program's central location for answering and processing inquiries dealing with all off-duty voluntary education programs and services. The Center also serves as a hub for requesting the Sailor and Marine Corps American Council on Education Registry Transcript (SMART). Their call center is open five days a week, 15 hours a day, staffed by academic advisors, ready to fill your requests for SMART and answer questions about all components of the Navy College Program.
