OK, I TOOK MY TEST. NOW WHAT?
Your Educational Services Officer (ESO) should immediately return all answer sheets after an exam administration. NAC will sort and process answer sheets as they come in from the Fleet. Shipments from overseas locations and deployed ships take longer to make their way to NAC in Pensacola, Fla., than do CONUS command answer sheets. NAC process and scores answer sheets for every rating in the Navy, both Active Duty and Reserve – approximately 300,000 each year.
Next task is for the Fleet to administer late exams for all those candidates who were unable to sit for the exam on the scheduled date. Late exams can be administered up to 30 – 45 days after regular exam dates (check Cycle NAVADMINs for late exam administration windows). NAC begins computing Standard Scores for each rating once all exam answer sheets are returned (see http://www.navydads.com/group/careerchoices/forum/topics/your-exam-...). The standard score is an element of your Final Multiple Score (FMS).
For more information on the FMS, see http://www.navydads.com/group/careerchoices/forum/topics/whole-pers.... The Reserve results from the August exam, as well as the Active Duty exam results from September, should be released in late November.

Paul, the boy is eager and can't wait for the E5 advancement exam six months from now and swears he'll pass it. I know the salary increase has been a huge motivator for him. I'm really happy that my son is good with money unlike his old man heheh...

Active Duty and Reserve results from the recent Navy-wide Advancement Exams should be released in late November. Pay increments are based on your Final Multiple Score, NOT your exam Standard Score...

Advancement Pay Determination - I just got advanced off the last exam, when am I getting paid?
June 25, 2010 at 6:17am

The CNO provides monthly pay increment quotas. These quotas are uploaded into the Navy Enlisted Advancement System (NEAS) and spread across all ratings by pay grade. Selectees are advanced by Final Multiple Score, not exam Standard Score (SS) for (E4/5/6). Selection Board advancement is by seniority ranking (E7/8/9) by rating. Once your pay date is determined, your Profile Sheet will be updated with the actual date of advancement. If your profile sheet status says SELECTEE, then you are not getting paid that month. Check it again the first week of the next month.

Starting in October 2010, Sailors selected for advancement to E4, E5 and E6 advance at a rate of 3% per month for the first five months of the six-month pay increment.  The remaining 85% advance in the final month of the advancement cycle.

 
The pay increments for each exam cycle are as follows -

 
JAN (Active) and FEB (SELRES) E7 has 12 pay increments - Sep (current year) through Aug (following year)

FEB (SELRES) and MAR (Active) E4/5/6 has 6 increments - Jul (current year) through Dec (current year)

AUG (SELRES) and SEP (Active) E4/5/6 has 6 increments - Jan (following year) through Jun (following year)

NOV (Active and SELRES) E8/9 has 12 increments - Jul (current year) through Jun (following year)

Story Number: NNS130912-11Release Date: 9/12/2013 9:11:00 AM

VIRGINIA BEACH. Va. (NNS) -- The Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM) announced Sept. 12 that for the second consecutive year, LATINAStyle Magazine has named NEXCOM as one of the top 50 companies in the United States for providing the best career opportunities for Hispanic women.

Of NEXCOM's nearly 14,000 associates worldwide, more than 11 percent are Hispanic and seven percent are Hispanic women.

"To win this award two years in a row shows that NEXCOM fully embraces its diversity policy of fostering an inclusive workforce," said retired Rear Adm. Robert J. Bianchi, NEXCOM's chief executive officer. "We know that building a diverse workforce will make our organization stronger and better for both our associates as well as our customers. I am so very proud of all of our associates who embrace diversity and respect the special talents found in each of us."

According to LATINAStyle, the companies chosen as the "2013 50 Best Companies for Latinas to Work for in the United States" lead the way in providing retirement plans, programs to assist military personnel to readjust to the working field, training and leadership programs to place Latinas on a fast track to promotions and recognition, as well as Hispanic affinity groups to better understand the needs of its Latino employee population, particularly its Latinas.

NEXCOM will receive its award Feb. 6, 2014.
