AUGUST/SEPTEMBER ADVANCEMENT RESULTS SCHEDULE

Sailors who took the August Reserve Cycle 097 or September Active Duty Cycle 228 advancement exam can expect to see results around Thanksgiving. Why does it take so long? The Navy Advancement Center has to receive and process at least 95% of the Fleet answer sheets before pressing forward with exam scoring. At this time, answer sheet returns are on schedule, and we expect to provide Navy manning planners with test passer information over the next two weeks. Good luck to all candidates!

FY16 CHIEF PETTY OFFICER SELECTEES ANNOUNCED

Of that group, 17,467 were rank ordered in the top 60% of their rating and were approved for selection board eligibility. There were 491 PO1s who were waived from taking the exam, with most of those candidates serving boots on the ground in a designated combat zone. Today, 4,086 candidates were listed as SELECTEE following the very competitive enlisted selection board process. Congratulations to all those selected to advance to the E7 paygrade, and put on the anchors and uniform of a Navy Chief Petty Officer!

YOUR FINAL MULTIPLE - PASS NOT ADVANCE POINTS

Sailors who do not advance during an advancement Cycle have an opportunity to earn Pass Not Advance Points (PNA) for participation in future Cycles. PNA points reward you for “Sustained Superior Performance” if you do well on the exam or evaluations but are not advanced due to quota limitations. Points awarded each exam cycle are based on a combination of Performance Mark Average (PMA) and Standard Score (SS) standing. Up to 3.0 PNA points are awarded per exam cycle for up to 5 cycles - 1.5 points each for PMA and SS based on ranking relative to peers - for a max total possible of 15 PNA points. Only candidates who have a PMA or SS in the top 25% get PNA points during an advancement Cycle.

The chart below shows that the PNA Final Multiple Score element is 9% of the overall formula for E4 and E5 candidates.

5 things to know about the Meritorious Advancement Program
18 June 2015 From Chief of Naval Personnel

As part of the Navy's on-going talent management initiatives and to empower the command triad to advance their top performing Sailors, the Command Advancement Program (CAP) is being changed in name and scope to the expanded Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP) as announced in NAVADMIN 141/15.


Here are 5 things to know about MAP:

1. At the foundation of this change is the idea that no one knows their Sailors better than our commanding officers (CO), CMCs and the chief's mess. MAP gives them the tool to recognize their best Sailors, advancing them when they are ready for the next level of responsibility.

2. MAP provides COs flexibility and allows commands to petition for additional meritorious advancements or surrender those not needed for a given period.

3. Further expansion of MAP for next year, including the number of quotas, shore duty command eligibility and number of "MAP seasons," is under review by Chief of Naval Personnel (CNP) and Fleet leadership. Additional guidance will be published early in fiscal year 2016 outlining future changes.

4. This fiscal year MAP Open Season runs from July 1 through Aug. 31 and the redistribution season runs from Sept. 1 through 30.

5. Commanders continue to have the authority to set MAP performance standards and select their best Sailors for advancement.

For complete information on MAP see NAVADMIN 141/15 at www.npc.navy.mil

The new eval and fitrep rules: What you need to know

Nothing has more impact on sailors' careers than their evaluations. Good marks and they move up, bad marks and they go home.

Navy officials are tweaking the rules for how the evaluation (enlisted) and fitness report (officer) system works, and everyone will now be graded for fostering a healthy command climate and fighting sexual assault. Skippers and admirals will also be accountable for the conduct and climate of their organization.

What you need to know:

1. Surveys and skippers. The fitness reports have new standards by which commanding officers will be evaluated, such as command climate surveys. COs are required to conduct one within two months of taking charge, and then at the one year mark and each year after that — and they'll be knocked if they don't get them done.

"Failure to conduct required command assessments is considered a leadership deficiency for grading purposes," said the new instruction, dated May 1.

The new rules also grade them on classified material handling and their sailors' security clearances.

2. Healthy command climate.Everyone from the lowest E-1 to the top admiral will now be graded on helping to foster healthy command climates and fighting sexual harassment.

"For commanding officers, indicate the extent to which they have or have not established a command climate where allegations of sexual assault are properly managed and fairly evaluated," the instruction says.

It also calls for marks on whether victims of any criminal activities feel they "can report the criminal activity without fear of retaliation, including ostracism and group pressure."

To get high marks in military bearing, even the most junior sailors must "demonstrate how they have cultivated or maintained command climates where improper discrimination of any kind, sexual harassment, sexual assault, hazing and other inappropriate conduct is not tolerated."

3. New rules for admirals. It's lonely at the top. Admirals are going to start being evaluated for the attitudes they foster at their commands, including integrity, accepting responsibility for subordinates' actions and "undertaking necessary action," though the instruction doesn't give examples of this.

4. The same language.Because more reservists are pulling duty, from drills to orders that can cover years, it's important that reserves and active-duty speak the same language in evaluations and fitness reports. Reservists on any type of active-duty must now receive concurrent reports from the active duty command with which they're serving. .

5. Be honest. The evaluation system depends on evaluators, from Work Center Supervisors (WCS) to COs, accurately depicting their subordinate's performance.

"If you don't think someone is measuring up, you need to be brutally honest and upfront with those people, because one poor evaluation is not going to make or break someone's career," said Chief of Naval Personnel Vice Adm. Bill Moran.

"It's only with a pattern of less than adequate performance that they shouldn't be advanced or promoted in the Navy. But the only way you're going [to document poor performance] is by commands and command triads being a bit more upfront with how they write those — truly calling it how they see it."

Spring Advancement Results Schedule Announced
Story Number: NNS150512-13Release Date: 5/12/2015 12:07:00 PM

From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs Office

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Chief of Naval Personnel announced May 12 the schedule for the release of spring advancement results for active duty, full time support (FTS) and selective Reserve (SELRES) petty officers.

Schedule is:
May 18: Complete list of active, FTS and SELRES petty officer quotas posted on Navy.mil.
May 20: Advancement results posted to command triads' BUPERS online (BOL) accounts.
May 21: Individual results posted on Sailors' BOL and names of those advanced released on Navy.mil.

While complete quotas are still being worked, the key take-aways for Sailors are:
1) Active duty advancement opportunity across the Navy remains near our ten year average.
2) Due to high retention, active duty advancement will drop slightly from last cycle in all pay grades.
3) Individual ratings for active duty continue to stabilize and get "healthier"-there will be no ratings with "zero" advancement and the number of ratings with "100 percent" advancement will drop this cycle.
