SUBJ/ENHANCED CAREER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - INTERACTIVE DETAILING//
RMKS/1. THIS NAVADMIN ANNOUNCES ENHANCEMENTS TO THE ENLISTED DETAILING
PROCESS AND THE CAREER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - INTERACTIVE DETAILING
(CMS/ID). CMS/ID IS A VITAL PART OF THE NAVY'S EFFORTS TO PROVIDE
TRANSPARENCY IN THE ENLISTED DETAILING PROCESS. IT ENABLES A MORE
DIRECT AND PERSONAL ROLE FOR SAILORS IN THEIR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT,
AND DIRECTLY SUPPORTS FLEET READINESS BY REPRESENTING THE IMMEDIATE
READINESS NEEDS OF THE NAVY. THESE ENHANCEMENTS WILL ALLOW THE NAVY TO
PRIORITIZE CRITICAL SHORTFALLS AND FILL THESE SHORTFALLS EARLIER AS
SAILORS MOVE INTO THE DETAILING WINDOW. THIS WILL ALSO ALLOW SAILORS
AND THEIR FAMILIES TO PLAN THEIR NEXT MOVE EARLIER, PROVIDING GREATER
STABILITY AND PREDICTABILITY.
2. THE VISUAL APPEARANCE OF CMS/ID AND THE MECHANICS USED IN
ADVERTISING AND SELECTION WILL ESSENTIALLY STAY THE SAME. HOWEVER,
EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 2009, THE ORGANIZATIONAL CONSTRUCT AND BUSINESS RULES
WILL CHANGE AS FOLLOWS:
A. AFTER A SHORT TRANSITION PERIOD DESCRIBED BELOW, THE SAILOR
NEGOTIATION WINDOW WILL BE NINE TO SEVEN MONTHS PRIOR TO A SAILOR'S PRD,
PROVIDING A 3-MONTH WINDOW TO NEGOTIATE FOR ORDERS BEFORE A SAILOR IS
ELIGIBLE FOR A DIRECTED "NEEDS OF THE NAVY" ASSIGNMENT.
THE EXCEPTION TO THIS WILL BE RESOLUTION OF RED ZONE REQUISITIONS AS
EXPLAINED IN PARA 3D. THIS CHANGE IS DESIGNED TO ENCOURAGE MORE
AGGRESSIVE PARTICIPATION BY SAILORS IN THE ORDERS NEGOTIATION PROCESS
AND BETTER RESPONSIVENESS TO FLEET DEMANDS AND CURRENT GWOT SUPPORT
ASSIGNMENT (GSA) RESOURCING DEADLINES.
(1) SAILORS CURRENTLY IN THEIR NEGOTIATION WINDOW WILL NOT BE
DISADVANTAGED BY THIS CHANGE. DETAILERS WILL APPLY THE FOLLOWING
ADJUSTMENTS TO ENSURE ALL APPLICANTS HAVE NO LESS THAN THREE MONTHS TO
CONSIDER OPTIONS BEFORE BEING CONSIDERED FOR A DIRECTED ASSIGNMENT:
(A) SAILORS WITH A PRD BETWEEN AUGUST 2009 AND JANUARY 2010
WILL BE UNAFFECTED BY THIS CHANGE AND SHOULD ALREADY BE UNDER ORDERS OR
COMMITTED TO SEPARATION.
(B) SAILORS WITH A PRD BETWEEN FEBRUARY 2010 AND APRIL 2010
WILL BE MANAGED AS IF THEIR "NEEDS OF THE NAVY" WINDOW BEGINS JANUARY
2010.
(C) SAILORS WITH A PRD OF MAY 2010 AND BEYOND WILL FALL
UNDER THESE NEW RULES.
(D) CMS/ID DOES NOT ALLOW A SAILOR TO NEGOTIATE ORDERS
WITHOUT PERFORM TO SERVE (PTS) APPROVAL. SAILORS WHO DO NOT RECEIVE
PTS APPROVAL UNTIL 6 MONTHS PRIOR TO THEIR PRD WILL NEGOTIATE DIRECTLY
WITH THEIR RATING DETAILER. THESE SAILORS WILL BE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE
ORDERS FOR ONE MONTH PRIOR TO ENTERING THE "NEEDS OF THE NAVY" WINDOW.
A SAILOR'S PTS APPLICATION AT THE 12 TO 15 MONTH POINT PRIOR TO EAOS OR
PRD IS KEY TO GETTING A TIMELY PTS QUOTA, AND WILL PRESERVE A FULL
THREE MONTH NEGOTIATION WINDOW.
B. THE MANNING CONTROL AUTHORITIES (MCA) WILL USE CMS/ID TO
ADVERTISE MORE REQUISITIONS EACH CYCLE, ALLOWING FOR A GREATER NUMBER
OF PRIORITY READINESS REQUISITIONS TO BE DISPLAYED AND PROVIDING
SAILORS WITH MORE CHOICE AND SELECTIVITY.
C. THE MAJORITY OF THE REQUISITIONS WILL BE DISPLAYED IN THE GREEN
ZONE. GSA REQUISITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO BE DISPLAYED IN THE PURPLE
ZONE. A MAJOR ENHANCEMENT, THE RED ZONE, WILL NOW DISPLAY THE MOST
CRITICAL READINESS DEGRADING REQUISITIONS, AS DETERMINED BY THE MCA'S.
D. THE NEW RED ZONE WILL LIST REQUISITIONS NECESSARY FOR FLEET
PERSONNEL READINESS. IF NOT FILLED, THEY WILL DIRECTLY DEGRADE THE
MISSION CAPABILITY OF A DEPLOYING UNIT, OPERATIONAL SUPPORT
ORGANIZATION OR TRAINING COMMAND. NPC WILL FILL EVERY RED ZONE
REQUISITION EVERY MONTH, AND ALL SAILORS IN THE NEGOTIATING WINDOW (PRD
MINUS 9 MONTHS) WILL BE CONSIDERED TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR
ASSIGNMENT,PERHAPS INVOLUNTARILY, TO RED ZONE REQUISITIONS. THESE
PRIORITY REQUISITIONS WILL BE IDENTIFIED EACH MONTH BY THE MCA, AND THE
NUMBER OF RED ZONE REQUISITIONS WILL NOT EXCEED TWO PER RATE (E.G., TWO
YN3, TWO YN2, TWO YN1, ETC) FOR BOTH SEA AND SHORE REQUISITIONS.
DETAILERS WILL IDENTIFY SAILORS FOR ASSIGNMENT TO CRITICAL RED ZONE
REQUIREMENTS USING THE FOLLOWING PRIORITIES:
(1) FIRST PRIORITY - VOLUNTEERS.
(2) SECOND PRIORITY - SAILORS WHO ARE AVAILABLE FOR IMMEDIATE
ASSIGNMENT. GENERALLY, THESE ARE SAILORS RETURNING TO FULL DUTY FROM
LIMITED DUTY, OR SAILORS WHOSE CURRENT ASSIGNMENT HAS BEEN CURTAILED
FOR SOME REASON.
(3) THIRD PRIORITY - SAILORS WHO ARE UNASSIGNED AND WHO ARE
WITHIN THEIR "NEEDS OF THE NAVY" WINDOW (PRD MINUS 6 MONTHS).
(4) FOURTH PRIORITY - SAILORS WHO ARE WITHIN 9 MONTHS OF THEIR
PRD. THESE SAILORS WILL BE FURTHER CATEGORIZED BY PRD MONTH, STARTING
WITH THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN IN THEIR NEGOTIATION WINDOW THE LONGEST.
INVOLUNTARY ASSIGNMENTS OF SAILORS FROM WITHIN THIS CATEGORY WILL BE
MADE ONLY WITH PERS-40 DIVISION DIRECTOR APPROVAL. SAILORS SELECTED
FOR INVOLUNTARY ASSIGNMENT WILL BE AFFORDED AN OPPORTUNITY TO APPEAL
THAT SELECTION TO PERS-4 VIA THEIR CHAIN OF COMMAND FOR FLAG LEVEL
REVIEW.
3. THE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED ENHANCEMENTS THAT ENABLE SAILORS TO ACCESS
AND APPLY TO CMS/ID VIA THEIR HOME COMPUTERS HAVE MADE THIS VITAL
COMPONENT OF THE ENLISTED ASSIGNMENT SYSTEM MORE READILY AVAILABLE.
THE IMPROVEMENTS DISCUSSED IN THIS NAVADMIN WILL MAKE CMS/ID MORE AGILE,
MORE RESPONSIVE TO NEW/CHANGING FLEET REQUIREMENTS, AND MORE DYNAMIC IN
EXECUTION. IN AGGREGATE, THESE INITIATIVES OFFER ADVANTAGES TO BOTH
OUR SAILORS AND THE COMMANDS WHERE THEY SERVE, AND BETTER POSITION THE
NAVY AND OUR PEOPLE FOR SUCCESS IN NAVAL OPERATIONS WORLD-WIDE.
4. QUESTIONS CONCERNING CMS/ID AND THIS MOST RECENT UPGRADE SHOULD BE
REFERRED TO THE NPC CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER, (866)-U-ASK-NPC OR
(866) 827-5672, OR EMAIL AT CSCMAILBOX(AT)NAVY.MIL. THIS CUSTOMER

RULES FOR EXTENSIONS TO CHANGE THIS FALL
RULES FOR EXTENSIONS TO CHANGE THIS FALL
Release Date: 08/26/2009
By Katie Suich, Navy Personnel Command Public Affairs Office
MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) --
MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) --
The Navy will change the Short Term Extension (STE) policy Oct. 1, affecting obligated service (OBLISERV) rules for enlisted personnel.
According to NAVADMIN 242/09, the reason for the change is that the Navy has noticed during the past several years the number of STEs has risen substantially.
According to NAVADMIN 242/09, the reason for the change is that the Navy has noticed during the past several years the number of STEs has risen substantially.
"The impact of this change is that more Sailors will be directed toward reenlistments, said Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Rick West. "It also gives our Sailors more flexibility to manage their careers early in the [career review board] process while taking advantage of monetary incentives. Standardizing the rules will assist our Sailors in managing their careers while allowing the Navy to better manage the force. We should have done this years ago"
Currently, a Sailor has to obligate for 12 months when they receive orders to sea duty, unless DoD area requirements are greater. The new policy will require 24 months of obligated service, with these exceptions:
* Sailors with less than 24 months until their high year tenure date must only obligate for the amount of time needed to reach that date.
* Sailors will obligate for the requisite time-on-station requirements for PCS orders to places that require less than 24 months, such as Diego Garcia and unaccompanied tours.
* All other obligated-service requirements will remain the same.
The maximum number of short-term extensions that a Sailor may now use will be two per contract. The length of an extension will be limited to 23 months, and the total of all extensions cannot exceed 24 months. Other rules include:
* Extensions counting against the Sailor's two-extension limit are those that help manage their careers or if they benefit to the Sailor. For example: Instead of reenlisting, a Sailor uses an extension to obtain OBLISERV so he/she can execute PCS orders.
* Extensions not counted are Navy-required ones, such as the PCS delay this past summer. Navy Personnel Command (NPC) can answer specific questions on what category an extension falls into. NPC also has procedures in place to handle unique situations that might require more than two extensions per contract.
* Extension policy for Sailors taking individual augmentee/global war on terrorism support assignments (IA/GSA) orders remains the same. Once they have completed the GSA/IA assignment, they will fall under current detailing and extension policies
Sailors choosing not to obligate for the required 24 months but have more than 12 months of contract time left will be assigned based on the "needs of the Navy" or, if eligible, will be encouraged to voluntarily separate at end of obligated service {EAOS} or projected rotation date {PRD), whichever is closer. Those assigned "needs of the Navy" orders will not necessarily stay at their present command.
West said that under any circumstances, however, this policy change provides Sailors and Navy families a greater opportunity to map out their future.
West said that under any circumstances, however, this policy change provides Sailors and Navy families a greater opportunity to map out their future.
"The bottom line," said West, "is that this allows our Sailors to be proactive, not reactive when it comes to career planning."
