 CAREER ROADMAP

Seaman Recruit to Master Chief Roadmap

The educational roadmap below will assist Sailors in the Information Systems Technician community through the process of
pursuing professional development and advanced education using various military and civilian resources e.g. PQS program;
JST Joint Service Transcript; E-Learning; Navy College Network; etc. Successful leadership is the key to military readiness and
will always require a high degree of technical skill, professional knowledge, and intellectual development.

What is a Career Roadmap for Information Systems Technician?

Information Systems Technician roadmaps are just what the name implies - a roadmap through the Enlisted Learning and
Development Continuum from Seaman Recruit through Master Chief. The principal focus is to standardize a program Navy wide
by featuring the existing skills necessary to be successful in the Navy. The ultimate goal of a roadmap is to produce a functional
and competent Sailor.

What is the Enlisted Learning and Development Continuum?

Enlisted Learning and Development Continuum is the formal title given to the curriculum and process building on the foundation
of Sailorization beginning in our Delayed Entry Program through Recruit Training Command and throughout your entire career.
The continuum combines skill training, professional education, well-rounded assignments, and voluntary education. As you
progress through your career, early-on skill training diminishes while professional military education gradually increases.
Experience is the ever-present constant determining the rate at which a Sailor trades skill training for professional development.

Do Sailors have to follow the Roadmap?

Yes. The Information Systems Technician roadmap includes the four areas encompassed by the Continuum in Professional
Military Education to include; Navy Professional Military Education (NPME), Joint Professional Military Education (JPME),
Leadership and Advanced Education.
Some training and education is mandatory (Recruit Training, IT “A” School at the Center For Information Warfare Training
located in Pensacola, Florida, E-Learning, etc.). Some may be directed by your chain of command (Microsoft Excel and
PowerPoint courses), and the remainder is voluntary (MNP, E-Learning, college courses, etc.). Sailors are advised to seek out
mentors, including your Command Master Chief, Senior Enlisted Advisor, Leading Chief Petty Officer, Leading Petty Officer and
Command Career Counselor, and to make use of your Navy College Virtual Education Center (VEC) or OCONUS Education
Office's vast resources. All are uniquely qualified to help you along the way.

Notes:

1. “A” School required.

2. Sea/Shore flow rotation for IT is 36/36. A well-diversified history of assignments CONUS and OCONUS are a
critical part in the path to promotion.

3. Sea duty assignments are demanding and provide Sailors with a more conventional career path. Traditional
career enhancing sea duty tours should include leadership positions such as LPO, department/branch/division LCPO,
and Numbered Fleet Staff/Strike Group Staffs. Serving in at least one challenging command-level collateral and
achieving other qualifications that support command mission will ensure the best possible candidates are promoted.
OCONUS sea duty assignments are extremely challenging and should be considered when selecting next duty
assignment.

4. Career enhancing shore tours should be positions in which Senior Enlisted Leaders develop subordinates and
mentor them in proper career progression with emphasis on continuing technical and leadership development. IT
leadership-intensive shore duty billets include NCTAMS, NCTS, CIWT, ATG, IWTG, Rating Assignments
Detailer, White House Communications Agency (WHCA), Cyber Protection Team (CPT), Cyber Mission Force
(CMF) and Operational Shore billets. Sailors should make it a point to serve at least one tour at a NCTAMS or
NCTS during their career.

5. While there are many challenging sea/shore assignments in the IT community, Expeditionary communications
support assignments are highly recommended due to their high OPTEMPO. Expeditionary assignments include
Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC), Joint Communications Unit (JCU), Joint Communications Support
Element (JCSE), Naval Special Warfare (NSW), and Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU).
Though billets are limited, Sailors should consider serving at least one tour in an Expeditionary communications
support billet. Initial tours and subsequent tours after successful Fleet assignments should not be looked at
unfavorable.

5. PRDs are usually limited to 36 months with exception of assignments to special programs, or while in an
advanced training pipeline (e.g. Cyber Mission Force/Cyber Protection Team (CMF/CPT)). Sailors meeting these
exceptions can be assigned for 60 months. Cross-assignment PRDs are usually limited to 24 months.

6. ITs are transitioning from the Information Assurance (IA) (DoD 8570) specialization to Cyber Security
Workforce (CSWF) (DoD 8140) and levels of specialization will change. All ITs are expected to maintain
proficiency as specified by DoD 8140 and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) CSWF by earning
a minimum of 40 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) annually as directed by NAVADMIN 084/15. All ITs should
be CSWF coded in the Total Workforce Management Services (TWMS) under the “Cyber Security Workforce Info”
function.

7. ITs are encouraged to consider self-study programs to enrich their academic rate knowledge and maintain
technical proficiency. Programs are available through Navy Skillport (https://navycswf.skillport.com) or FedVTE
(https://fedvte.usalearning.gov). Navy COOL vouchers for certification exams may be issued if the Sailor is
pursuing credentials in a CSWF field as noted in TWMS Cyber Workforce Info. More information can be found on
Navy COOL (https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn/cswf) under “Cyber IT/CSWF Workforce Model.” Note: If a Sailor is

Occupational and Readiness Standards (OaRS) to E4
NAVEDTRA 44053
NAME:
These Occupational and Readiness Standards (OaRS) may be used to validate minimum competencies for performing various rating-
specific tasks in paygrade E4 in this rating. OaRS is based on the Occupational Standards (OCCSTDs) for the rating/paygrade. An E4
should possess the minimum competencies of their rating/paygrade, whereby OaRS may provide benefits as a tool to train towards and
track those competencies achieved.

OaRS does not address ship/unit/system specific standards, which may be covered within Personnel Qualification Standards (PQS),
Job Qualification Requirements (JQR), or local training/qualification programs. OaRS addresses the overall rating at the E4 level, not
the Sailor’s position, billet, or duty assignment. 

Generally, each OaRS task area encompasses one or more occupational standards on the same or similar subjects and is written in
on-the-job rating language. Completion indicates the Sailor can perform the tasks or can articulate knowledge of the tasks. If
circumstances exist that limits a Sailor’s ability to effectively demonstrate any OaRS task element due to equipment configuration,
mission, or operational status, the Sailor can seek training or understanding from his/her peers, leadership, or refer to technical
manuals.

OaRS completion is voluntary and is not designed to replace other qualification programs (e.g. PQS, JQR). OaRS items that duplicate
"sign off" items in these types of programs can be signed off if they have already been signed off under any of these types of programs.

Task signatures are completed between the Sailor and the Sailor’s supervisor, Leading Petty Officer (LPO) or E5 or above designee.
Task sections are signed off by the Division Leading Chief or designee. Endorsement of completion of all OaRS tasks/sections are
validated by the Division Officer, Department LCPO, Department Head, and Command Career Counselor (CCC).

community health, but also provides qualified Sailors with an opportunity to resume or begin a career in the AC/FTS. This
component change refers to a permanent transfer from RC2AC/FTS. This voluntary program enables qualified, eligible enlisted
RC Sailors to submit applications in Career Waypoints (C-WAY) based on available quotas published on the Bureau of Naval
Personnel (BUPERS), Enlisted Community Manager (BUPERS-32) Web page at: https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-

The Career Intermission Program allows Officers and Enlisted Sailors to transfer out of the active component (AC/FTS) and into
the Individual Ready Reserve for a period of one to three years to pursue personal or professional obligations outside the Navy,
while providing a means for their seamless return to active duty.
For additional information, go to: https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/career/reservepersonnelmgmt/IRR/Pages/CIP.aspx.

AC/FTS to Secretary of the Navy Tours with Industry

This program provides a venue for exceptional Sailors to experience innovative business practices. Navy fellows are fully
immersed in company practices and will be actively engaged in projects and company operations. Past fellows were assigned
to companies including VMware, Qualcomm, Apple, Incorporation, Boeing, Tesla, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, GE Digital,
Amazon, FedEx, Northrup Grumman, Space X, LinkedIn and USAA.
For additional information go to: https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/career/talentmanagement/Pages/SNTWI.aspx.

Canvasser Recruiter (CANREC)

The Canvasser Recruiter (CANREC) Recall Program is a voluntary and temporary recall program for RC personnel to serve as
production recruiters in support of the Navy Prior Service recruiting mission. Personnel eligible to volunteer for a Definite (also
termed as “temporary”) Recall to Active Duty (ACDU) as a CANREC are Reserve Component (RC) members, specifically
Selected Reserve (SELRES), Individual Ready Reserve (IRR-ASP), and Voluntary Training Unit (VTU) personnel.
For additional information, go to:
https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/career/reservepersonnelmgmt/definiterecall/Pages/CANRECRecall.aspx.

Career Waypoints-Reenlistment:
The Command Career Counselor is your local advocate to assist you with the Career Waypoints application process.
E3-E6 Sailors with less than 14 years of service must submit a Career Waypoints application, regardless of reenlistment
intentions. Sailors who do not desire to reenlist will submit an "intends to separate" application. Sailors not eligible for
reenlistment will submit a "not eligible" application.
The Career Waypoints system automatically generates most of the applications needed by Sailors. Applications must be
submitted no later than 16 months prior to expiration of active/reserve obligated service (EAOS/EOS) or as extended
(SEAOS/SEOS). Sailors with less than 24 months of contract time remaining at their projected rotation date (PRD) will
submit an application 15 months prior to their PRD. In either case, the Career Waypoints system will automatically generate

IT - Information Systems Technician Page 31 of 166                        
 applications for Sailors 18 months prior to either timeframe. Applications required outside of the established C-Way gates
can be submitted as Special Circumstance applications. Examples of when these may be needed include OBLISERVE for
special duty, decommissioning or homeport shift.
The C-Way 3-2-1 Process aligns career decisions with the detailing process. Soft End of Active/Reserve Obligated Service
(SEAOS/SEOS)/End of Active/Reserve Obligated Service (EAOS/EOS) applications are created by C-Way at the 18 month
from S/EAOS/EOS mark and must be submitted by the Command Career Counselor at the 16 month mark. This provides
time for the Career Counselor to validate the Sailor's information and to ascertain the Sailors career intentions. The first C-
Way review gate occurs from 16 to 13 months from S/EAOS/EOS with career choice options of in-rate, conversion, and
Selected Reserve. The second review gate occurs from 12 to 9 months from S/EAOS/EOS with career choice options of
conversion and Selected Reserve. From 8 months to 4 months to S/EAOS/EOS the Sailor can only choose Selected
Reserve affiliation.
Monthly reenlistment quotas are limited and must be reserved for our best and brightest Sailors who desire to Stay Navy.
Sailors must choose one of the following based on their desires and qualifications:
Reenlist-in-Rate,
Reenlist-in-rate, Willing to Convert
Convert only
AC to AC or FTS to FTS
RC to AC/FTS
RC to RC
AC/FTS to CIP (Intermission)
AC/FTS to Tour w/ Industry
SELRES option
Canvasser Recruiter
Intend to separate
Not eligible

In February 2014, C-Way delivered auto-approval capabilities to provide reenlistment decisions on S/EAOS/EOS applications
more quickly for eligible ratings. This changed the monthly processing of reenlistment applications as described below.
If you are in an, "open" rating or a "balanced" rating in an undermanned year group or an E6, you are eligible for
reenlistment, and your application is submitted with correct data it will be auto-approved and returned immediately, and you
can reenlist.
If you are in a "competitive" rating or a balanced rating but not an undermanned year group, then your application will be
processed through the monthly Rack and Stack process. Applications submitted in one month are processed in Rack and
Stack the following month.
For Nuclear ratings, all applications are reviewed by enlisted community managers on an ongoing basis throughout the
processing month.
If required data is missing (evaluations, Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) data, security clearance etc.) the application
will be denied with a note to your career counselor regarding what needs to be fixed. It is critical the Command Career
Counselor reviews these notes to ensure Sailors are not disadvantaged in their opportunities for retention.
Upon completion of the monthly process, Career Waypoints results will be available to command users via the Monthly
report section of the Career Waypoint system.
For additional guidance, see MILPERSMAN 1160-140, NAVADMIN 231/17, and your Career Counselor

Golden Ticket – Sailors are guaranteed an expedited return to ACDU within one year from separation from ACDU. Sailors
who do not use their Golden Ticket within one year are automatically convert to a Silver Ticket for one additional year.
Sailors must remain fully qualified.
Silver Ticket – Sailors are afforded an expedited return to ACDU within two years from separation date. This opportunity is

Nearly 200 years ago, the Navy ordered its ships be outfitted with a reading list of 37 books in order to help train and educate
Sailors. The Navy’s leaders knew then what is still the case today: to outthink our competitors we must study and apply lessons
we’ve learned from our past. Furthermore, it is critically important for our Navy to be a learning organization. And one of the very
best ways to do that is to foster an environment where every Sailor deepens their level of understanding and learning.

That is why we launched an updated Chief of Naval Operations Professional Reading Program (CNO-PRP) reading list, with a
motto of “Read Well to Lead Well.”

 RECORD REVIEW CHECKLIST

Review your Official Record to see what documentation, qualifications, etc. may be missing or requiring an update. This is a
great opportunity to meet with your Mentor, Leading Petty Officer or Leading Chief Petty Officer to understand the importance of
keeping your record up-to-date. Check the following three major sections to verify your Official Record:

a. BUPERS Online: BUPERS Online (https://www.bol.navy.mil) is your main tool to ensure your record is up to date and
helps you to be proactive in making the most of your promotion opportunity. You should review your:
1. Official Military Personnel File (OMPF): All active duty and reserve personnel having a BOL account, a CAC (with
appropriate certificates) and a CAC-enabled computer can now view their OMPF online by selecting the OMPF
option on the BOL main menu page. This is the preferred method of obtaining OMPF information to eliminate the
unnecessary time-lags caused by waiting days or weeks to receive a requested CD ROM.

2. If Deployed: Click on "Request Record on CD" to order your Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). This must be
accomplished four to six months before a board convenes, which will allow time for delivery and updating of your
record if required.
3. Check your Performance Summary Record (PSR) and Enlisted Summary Record (ESR) on
https://www.bol.navy.mil, click on the "ODC, OSR, PSR, ESR" link.
b. Electronic Service Record (ESR) Self-Service ESR: This can be viewed at https://nsips.nmci.navy.mil or on the Navy
Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) ESR server onboard ship.
c. Electronic Training Jacket (ETJ): Log in to My Navy Portal (MNP) and review your entire ETJ making sure that each
section is correct. If not, clicking on "Data Problems" at the bottom of each page which will guide you on how to make
corrections or updates.
d. US Navy Awards website: Log in to https://awards.navy.mil/ to review any awards you may qualify for but were unaware
of. Note that this website is only available from a CAC enabled, NMCI machine.
e. Physical Readiness Information Management System (PRIMS): To log in to PRIMS, first log in to BUPERS Online at
https://www.bol.navy.mil. Then look half way down the page for the PRIMS login at https://www.bol.navy.mil/bam/.
f. EOSH: The Federal Agency Employee Occupational Safety and Health (EOSH) Toolkit is available at
https://www.osha.gov/dep/fap/eosh_toolkit.html. It provides a one-stop-shop website that includes "just in time" information
about maintaining a safe and healthful workplace.

Canvasser Recruiter (CANREC)

The Canvasser Recruiter (CANREC) Recall Program is a voluntary and temporary recall program for RC personnel to serve as
production recruiters in support of the Navy Prior Service recruiting mission. Personnel eligible to volunteer for a Definite (also
termed as “temporary”) Recall to Active Duty (ACDU) as a CANREC are Reserve Component (RC) members, specifically
Selected Reserve (SELRES), Individual Ready Reserve (IRR-ASP), and Voluntary Training Unit (VTU) personnel.

Career Waypoints-Reenlistment:
The Command Career Counselor is your local advocate to assist you with the Career Waypoints application process.
E3-E6 Sailors with less than 14 years of service must submit a Career Waypoints application, regardless of reenlistment
intentions. Sailors who do not desire to reenlist will submit an "intends to separate" application. Sailors not eligible for
reenlistment will submit a "not eligible" application.
The Career Waypoints system automatically generates most of the applications needed by Sailors. Applications must be
submitted no later than 16 months prior to expiration of active/reserve obligated service (EAOS/EOS) or as extended
(SEAOS/SEOS). Sailors with less than 24 months of contract time remaining at their projected rotation date (PRD) will
submit an application 15 months prior to their PRD. In either case, the Career Waypoints system will automatically generate

IT - Information Systems Technician Page 51 of 166                        
 applications for Sailors 18 months prior to either timeframe. Applications required outside of the established C-Way gates
can be submitted as Special Circumstance applications. Examples of when these may be needed include OBLISERVE for
special duty, decommissioning or homeport shift.
The C-Way 3-2-1 Process aligns career decisions with the detailing process. Soft End of Active/Reserve Obligated Service
(SEAOS/SEOS)/End of Active/Reserve Obligated Service (EAOS/EOS) applications are created by C-Way at the 18 month
from S/EAOS/EOS mark and must be submitted by the Command Career Counselor at the 16 month mark. This provides
time for the Career Counselor to validate the Sailor's information and to ascertain the Sailors career intentions. The first C-
Way review gate occurs from 16 to 13 months from S/EAOS/EOS with career choice options of in-rate, conversion, and
Selected Reserve. The second review gate occurs from 12 to 9 months from S/EAOS/EOS with career choice options of
conversion and Selected Reserve. From 8 months to 4 months to S/EAOS/EOS the Sailor can only choose Selected
Reserve affiliation.
Monthly reenlistment quotas are limited and must be reserved for our best and brightest Sailors who desire to Stay Navy.
Sailors must choose one of the following based on their desires and qualifications:
Reenlist-in-Rate,
Reenlist-in-rate, Willing to Convert
Convert only
AC to AC or FTS to FTS
RC to AC/FTS
RC to RC
AC/FTS to CIP (Intermission)
AC/FTS to Tour w/ Industry
SELRES option
Canvasser Recruiter
Intend to separate
Not eligible

In February 2014, C-Way delivered auto-approval capabilities to provide reenlistment decisions on S/EAOS/EOS applications
more quickly for eligible ratings. This changed the monthly processing of reenlistment applications as described below.
If you are in an, "open" rating or a "balanced" rating in an undermanned year group or an E6, you are eligible for
reenlistment, and your application is submitted with correct data it will be auto-approved and returned immediately, and you
can reenlist.
If you are in a "competitive" rating or a balanced rating but not an undermanned year group, then your application will be
processed through the monthly Rack and Stack process. Applications submitted in one month are processed in Rack and
Stack the following month.
For Nuclear ratings, all applications are reviewed by enlisted community managers on an ongoing basis throughout the
processing month.
If required data is missing (evaluations, Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) data, security clearance etc.) the application
will be denied with a note to your career counselor regarding what needs to be fixed. It is critical the Command Career
Counselor reviews these notes to ensure Sailors are not disadvantaged in their opportunities for retention.
Upon completion of the monthly process, Career Waypoints results will be available to command users via the Monthly
report section of the Career Waypoint system.

Golden Ticket – Sailors are guaranteed an expedited return to ACDU within one year from separation from ACDU. Sailors
who do not use their Golden Ticket within one year are automatically convert to a Silver Ticket for one additional year.
Sailors must remain fully qualified.
Silver Ticket – Sailors are afforded an expedited return to ACDU within two years from separation date. This opportunity is
subject to Needs of the Navy (NOTN) and provided the Sailor remains fully qualified.

Nearly 200 years ago, the Navy ordered its ships be outfitted with a reading list of 37 books in order to help train and educate
Sailors. The Navy’s leaders knew then what is still the case today: to outthink our competitors we must study and apply lessons
we’ve learned from our past. Furthermore, it is critically important for our Navy to be a learning organization. And one of the very
best ways to do that is to foster an environment where every Sailor deepens their level of understanding and learning.

That is why we launched an updated Chief of Naval Operations Professional Reading Program (CNO-PRP) reading list, with a
motto of “Read Well to Lead Well.”

 RECORD REVIEW CHECKLIST

Review your Official Record to see what documentation, qualifications, etc. may be missing or requiring an update. This is a
great opportunity to meet with your Mentor, Leading Petty Officer or Leading Chief Petty Officer to understand the importance of
keeping your record up-to-date. Check the following three major sections to verify your Official Record:

a. BUPERS Online: BUPERS Online (https://www.bol.navy.mil) is your main tool to ensure your record is up to date and
helps you to be proactive in making the most of your promotion opportunity. You should review your:
1. Official Military Personnel File (OMPF): All active duty and reserve personnel having a BOL account, a CAC (with
appropriate certificates) and a CAC-enabled computer can now view their OMPF online by selecting the OMPF
option on the BOL main menu page. This is the preferred method of obtaining OMPF information to eliminate the
unnecessary time-lags caused by waiting days or weeks to receive a requested CD ROM.

2. If Deployed: Click on "Request Record on CD" to order your Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). This must be
accomplished four to six months before a board convenes, which will allow time for delivery and updating of your
record if required.
3. Check your Performance Summary Record (PSR) and Enlisted Summary Record (ESR) on
https://www.bol.navy.mil, click on the "ODC, OSR, PSR, ESR" link.
b. Electronic Service Record (ESR) Self-Service ESR: This can be viewed at https://nsips.nmci.navy.mil or on the Navy
Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) ESR server onboard ship.
c. Electronic Training Jacket (ETJ): Log in to My Navy Portal (MNP) and review your entire ETJ making sure that each
section is correct. If not, clicking on "Data Problems" at the bottom of each page which will guide you on how to make
corrections or updates.
d. US Navy Awards website: Log in to https://awards.navy.mil/ to review any awards you may qualify for but were unaware
of. Note that this website is only available from a CAC enabled, NMCI machine.
e. Physical Readiness Information Management System (PRIMS): To log in to PRIMS, first log in to BUPERS Online at
https://www.bol.navy.mil. Then look half way down the page for the PRIMS login at https://www.bol.navy.mil/bam/.
f. EOSH: The Federal Agency Employee Occupational Safety and Health (EOSH) Toolkit is available at
https://www.osha.gov/dep/fap/eosh_toolkit.html. It provides a one-stop-shop website that includes "just in time" information
about maintaining a safe and healthful workplace.

community health, but also provides qualified Sailors with an opportunity to resume or begin a career in the AC/FTS. This
component change refers to a permanent transfer from RC2AC/FTS. This voluntary program enables qualified, eligible enlisted
RC Sailors to submit applications in Career Waypoints (C-WAY) based on available quotas published on the Bureau of Naval
Personnel (BUPERS), Enlisted Community Manager (BUPERS-32) Web page at: https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-

The Career Intermission Program allows Officers and Enlisted Sailors to transfer out of the active component (AC/FTS) and into
the Individual Ready Reserve for a period of one to three years to pursue personal or professional obligations outside the Navy,
while providing a means for their seamless return to active duty.
For additional information, go to: https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/career/reservepersonnelmgmt/IRR/Pages/CIP.aspx.

AC/FTS to Secretary of the Navy Tours with Industry

This program provides a venue for exceptional Sailors to experience innovative business practices. Navy fellows are fully
immersed in company practices and will be actively engaged in projects and company operations. Past fellows were assigned
to companies including VMware, Qualcomm, Apple, Incorporation, Boeing, Tesla, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, GE Digital,
Amazon, FedEx, Northrup Grumman, Space X, LinkedIn and USAA.
For additional information go to: https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/career/talentmanagement/Pages/SNTWI.aspx.

Canvasser Recruiter (CANREC)

The Canvasser Recruiter (CANREC) Recall Program is a voluntary and temporary recall program for RC personnel to serve as
production recruiters in support of the Navy Prior Service recruiting mission. Personnel eligible to volunteer for a Definite (also
termed as “temporary”) Recall to Active Duty (ACDU) as a CANREC are Reserve Component (RC) members, specifically
Selected Reserve (SELRES), Individual Ready Reserve (IRR-ASP), and Voluntary Training Unit (VTU) personnel.
For additional information, go to:
https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/career/reservepersonnelmgmt/definiterecall/Pages/CANRECRecall.aspx.

Career Waypoints-Reenlistment:
The Command Career Counselor is your local advocate to assist you with the Career Waypoints application process.
E3-E6 Sailors with less than 14 years of service must submit a Career Waypoints application, regardless of reenlistment
intentions. Sailors who do not desire to reenlist will submit an "intends to separate" application. Sailors not eligible for
reenlistment will submit a "not eligible" application.
The Career Waypoints system automatically generates most of the applications needed by Sailors. Applications must be
submitted no later than 16 months prior to expiration of active/reserve obligated service (EAOS/EOS) or as extended
(SEAOS/SEOS). Sailors with less than 24 months of contract time remaining at their projected rotation date (PRD) will
submit an application 15 months prior to their PRD. In either case, the Career Waypoints system will automatically generate

IT - Information Systems Technician Page 71 of 166                        
 applications for Sailors 18 months prior to either timeframe. Applications required outside of the established C-Way gates
can be submitted as Special Circumstance applications. Examples of when these may be needed include OBLISERVE for
special duty, decommissioning or homeport shift.
The C-Way 3-2-1 Process aligns career decisions with the detailing process. Soft End of Active/Reserve Obligated Service
(SEAOS/SEOS)/End of Active/Reserve Obligated Service (EAOS/EOS) applications are created by C-Way at the 18 month
from S/EAOS/EOS mark and must be submitted by the Command Career Counselor at the 16 month mark. This provides
time for the Career Counselor to validate the Sailor's information and to ascertain the Sailors career intentions. The first C-
Way review gate occurs from 16 to 13 months from S/EAOS/EOS with career choice options of in-rate, conversion, and
Selected Reserve. The second review gate occurs from 12 to 9 months from S/EAOS/EOS with career choice options of
conversion and Selected Reserve. From 8 months to 4 months to S/EAOS/EOS the Sailor can only choose Selected
Reserve affiliation.
Monthly reenlistment quotas are limited and must be reserved for our best and brightest Sailors who desire to Stay Navy.
Sailors must choose one of the following based on their desires and qualifications:
Reenlist-in-Rate,
Reenlist-in-rate, Willing to Convert
Convert only
AC to AC or FTS to FTS
RC to AC/FTS
RC to RC
AC/FTS to CIP (Intermission)
AC/FTS to Tour w/ Industry
SELRES option
Canvasser Recruiter
Intend to separate
Not eligible

In February 2014, C-Way delivered auto-approval capabilities to provide reenlistment decisions on S/EAOS/EOS applications
more quickly for eligible ratings. This changed the monthly processing of reenlistment applications as described below.
If you are in an, "open" rating or a "balanced" rating in an undermanned year group or an E6, you are eligible for
reenlistment, and your application is submitted with correct data it will be auto-approved and returned immediately, and you
can reenlist.
If you are in a "competitive" rating or a balanced rating but not an undermanned year group, then your application will be
processed through the monthly Rack and Stack process. Applications submitted in one month are processed in Rack and
Stack the following month.
For Nuclear ratings, all applications are reviewed by enlisted community managers on an ongoing basis throughout the
processing month.
If required data is missing (evaluations, Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) data, security clearance etc.) the application
will be denied with a note to your career counselor regarding what needs to be fixed. It is critical the Command Career
Counselor reviews these notes to ensure Sailors are not disadvantaged in their opportunities for retention.
Upon completion of the monthly process, Career Waypoints results will be available to command users via the Monthly
report section of the Career Waypoint system.
For additional guidance, see MILPERSMAN 1160-140, NAVADMIN 231/17, and your Career Counselor
Or call My Navy Call Center: (833) 330-MNCC or (901) 874-MNCC; or askmncc@navy.mil

Nearly 200 years ago, the Navy ordered its ships be outfitted with a reading list of 37 books in order to help train and educate
Sailors. The Navy’s leaders knew then what is still the case today: to outthink our competitors we must study and apply lessons
we’ve learned from our past. Furthermore, it is critically important for our Navy to be a learning organization. And one of the very
best ways to do that is to foster an environment where every Sailor deepens their level of understanding and learning.

That is why we launched an updated Chief of Naval Operations Professional Reading Program (CNO-PRP) reading list, with a
motto of “Read Well to Lead Well.”

 SELECTION BOARD CHECKLIST FOR E6 PROMOTION TO CPO

Step 1 - Review your Official Record to see what documentation, qualifications, etc. may be missing or requiring an
update. This should be accomplished every six months after promotion to Second Class. However, it is imperative that
this is accomplished six months prior to a selection board. Check the following three major sections to verify your Official
Record:
a. BUPERS Online: BUPERS Online (https://www.bol.navy.mil) is your main tool to ensure your record is up to date
and helps you to be proactive in making the most of your promotion opportunity. You should review your:
1. Official Military Personnel File (OMPF): All active duty and reserve personnel having a BOL account, a CAC
(with appropriate certificates) and a CAC-enabled computer can now view their OMPF online by selecting the
OMPF option on the BOL main menu page. This is the preferred method of obtaining OMPF information to
eliminate the unnecessary time-lags caused by waiting days or weeks to receive a requested CD ROM.
2. If Deployed: Click on "Request Record on CD" to order your Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). This
must be accomplished four to six months before a board convenes, which will allow time for delivery and
updating of your record if required.
3. Check your Performance Summary Record (PSR) and Enlisted Summary Record (ESR) on
https://www.bol.navy.mil, click on the "ODC, OSR, PSR, ESR" link.
b. Electronic Service Record (ESR) Self-Service ESR: This can be viewed at (https://nsips.nmci.navy.mil) or on the
Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) ESR server onboard ship.
c. Electronic Training Jacket (ETJ): Log in to My Navy Portal (MNP) and review your entire ETJ making sure that
each section is correct. If not, clicking on "Data Problems" at the bottom of each page which will guide you on how
to make corrections or updates.
d. US Navy Awards website: Log in to (https://awards.navy.mil/) to review any awards you may qualify for but were
unaware of. Note that this website is only available from a CAC enabled, NMCI machine.
e. Physical Readiness Information Management System (PRIMS): To log in to PRIMS, first log in to BUPERS
Online at https://www.bol.navy.mil. Then look half way down the page for the PRIMS login at
https://www.bol.navy.mil/bam/.
f. EOSH: The Federal Agency Employee Occupational Safety and Health (EOSH) Toolkit is available at
https://www.osha.gov/dep/fap/eosh_toolkit.html. It provides a one-stop-shop website that includes "just in time"
information about maintaining a safe and healthful workplace.

Step 2 - Submit appropriate missing documents to the selection board.

a. Selection board packages provide candidates the opportunity to submit any documents missing from the sections
of their records which are viewed by the selection boards. MILPERSMAN 1070-080 specifies which documents
from the enlisted permanent personnel record are provided to the selection board for review. Any documents the
member has verified as missing from those sections of their permanent personnel record may be submitted as a
selection board package.
b. For submissions directly to the board and for those circumstances where the eligible candidate cannot get their
official record updated and confirmed prior to the selection board convening date:
1. All correspondence should be on plain white paper for readability; paper clipped (no staples, binders, folders,
or tabs) and submitted under cover letter to the president of the board. Candidates must verify the correct
subject line and board number (see below) is on their cover letters to ensure their packages appear before
the proper board.
2. Correspondence must include your Full name and SSN, must be affixed and legible on all documents
submitted, and must be emailed encrypted to the address provided in the associated NAVADMIN or
postmarked not later than the date listed in the associated NAVADMIN addressed to:

NAVY PERSONNEL COMMAND CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER

PRESIDENT
FY-XX ACTIVE/RESERVE E7 ENLISTED SELECTION BOARD #XXX
5640 TICONDEROGA LOOP BLDG 768 RM E302
MILLINGTON TN 38055
(Active = 360 / SELRES = 335 / FTS = 336)

(Use of special handling mail (certified or registered) is not advised due to significant delays in handling.)
c. Ensure official record reflects any individual augmentation mission (awards, evals, NEC, etc).
d. Check https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/boards/activedutyenlisted/Pages/GeneralInformation.aspx to verify
that the selection board has received your correspondence (if sent).

NOTE: It is highly recommended that if corrections or updates are made, review your OMPF; or if Deployed, re-
order your CD-ROM to confirm changes. (NOTE: Please allow 60 days for changes to take effect)

IT - Information Systems Technician Page 86 of 166                        
 Step 3 - After reviewing your service record - such as evaluations, awards, qualifications, etc. - start reviewing what you
can do to improve yourself, such as:
a. Request a Career Development Board (CDB) through your chain of command.
b. Take a good, hard look at the type of Collateral Duties you are assigned. Review your command collateral duties
instruction and talk with your COC and / or appear before the CDB. Take the tough command duties that provide
the most involvement in the command as a whole and that have direct Sailor support.
c. Review your current level of education to see how far along you are in earning a college degree and pursue non-
resident Navy courses to expand your level of knowledge. Complete the Navy e-Learning courses on MNP that
are recommended in this document. Check Navy COOL (https://www.cool.osd.mil/usn/) for any related credentials
for which you may be qualified.
d. Check out OTHER Learning Opportunities to add to your service record, such as the CANTRAC Volume I
(Training Facilities) and CANTRAC Volume II (Course Descriptions) at
https://main.prod.cetars.training.navy.mil/cetars/main.html.

Step 4 - Review qualifications that your rating values or requires for advancement and create a plan to earn these
important pieces in the professional growth and advancement puzzle. Read the applicable NAVADMIN for additional
dates and information, and review previous selection board precepts.

Step 5 - Prepare for the next CPO Advancement Exam cycle in January for Active Duty & February for Reserves as
soon as the Bibliography References are posted six months prior in July. Use the Navy Advancement Center info and
website listed above in the advancement section.

This program provides a venue for exceptional Sailors to experience innovative business practices. Navy fellows are fully
immersed in company practices and will be actively engaged in projects and company operations. Past fellows were assigned
to companies including VMware, Qualcomm, Apple, Incorporation, Boeing, Tesla, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, GE Digital,
Amazon, FedEx, Northrup Grumman, Space X, LinkedIn and USAA.
For additional information go to: https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/career/talentmanagement/Pages/SNTWI.aspx.

Canvasser Recruiter (CANREC)

The Canvasser Recruiter (CANREC) Recall Program is a voluntary and temporary recall program for RC personnel to serve as
production recruiters in support of the Navy Prior Service recruiting mission. Personnel eligible to volunteer for a Definite (also
termed as “temporary”) Recall to Active Duty (ACDU) as a CANREC are Reserve Component (RC) members, specifically
Selected Reserve (SELRES), Individual Ready Reserve (IRR-ASP), and Voluntary Training Unit (VTU) personnel.
For additional information, go to:
https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/career/reservepersonnelmgmt/definiterecall/Pages/CANRECRecall.aspx.

Career Waypoints-Reenlistment:
The Command Career Counselor is your local advocate to assist you with the Career Waypoints application process.
E3-E6 Sailors with less than 14 years of service must submit a Career Waypoints application, regardless of reenlistment
intentions. Sailors who do not desire to reenlist will submit an "intends to separate" application. Sailors not eligible for
reenlistment will submit a "not eligible" application.
The Career Waypoints system automatically generates most of the applications needed by Sailors. Applications must be
submitted no later than 16 months prior to expiration of active/reserve obligated service (EAOS/EOS) or as extended
(SEAOS/SEOS). Sailors with less than 24 months of contract time remaining at their projected rotation date (PRD) will
submit an application 15 months prior to their PRD. In either case, the Career Waypoints system will automatically generate

IT - Information Systems Technician Page 93 of 166                        
 applications for Sailors 18 months prior to either timeframe. Applications required outside of the established C-Way gates
can be submitted as Special Circumstance applications. Examples of when these may be needed include OBLISERVE for
special duty, decommissioning or homeport shift.
The C-Way 3-2-1 Process aligns career decisions with the detailing process. Soft End of Active/Reserve Obligated Service
(SEAOS/SEOS)/End of Active/Reserve Obligated Service (EAOS/EOS) applications are created by C-Way at the 18 month
from S/EAOS/EOS mark and must be submitted by the Command Career Counselor at the 16 month mark. This provides
time for the Career Counselor to validate the Sailor's information and to ascertain the Sailors career intentions. The first C-
Way review gate occurs from 16 to 13 months from S/EAOS/EOS with career choice options of in-rate, conversion, and
Selected Reserve. The second review gate occurs from 12 to 9 months from S/EAOS/EOS with career choice options of
conversion and Selected Reserve. From 8 months to 4 months to S/EAOS/EOS the Sailor can only choose Selected
Reserve affiliation.
Monthly reenlistment quotas are limited and must be reserved for our best and brightest Sailors who desire to Stay Navy.
Sailors must choose one of the following based on their desires and qualifications:
Reenlist-in-Rate,
Reenlist-in-rate, Willing to Convert
Convert only
AC to AC or FTS to FTS
RC to AC/FTS
RC to RC
AC/FTS to CIP (Intermission)
AC/FTS to Tour w/ Industry
SELRES option
Canvasser Recruiter
Intend to separate
Not eligible

In February 2014, C-Way delivered auto-approval capabilities to provide reenlistment decisions on S/EAOS/EOS applications
more quickly for eligible ratings. This changed the monthly processing of reenlistment applications as described below.
If you are in an, "open" rating or a "balanced" rating in an undermanned year group or an E6, you are eligible for
reenlistment, and your application is submitted with correct data it will be auto-approved and returned immediately, and you
can reenlist.
If you are in a "competitive" rating or a balanced rating but not an undermanned year group, then your application will be
processed through the monthly Rack and Stack process. Applications submitted in one month are processed in Rack and
Stack the following month.
For Nuclear ratings, all applications are reviewed by enlisted community managers on an ongoing basis throughout the
processing month.
If required data is missing (evaluations, Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) data, security clearance etc.) the application
will be denied with a note to your career counselor regarding what needs to be fixed. It is critical the Command Career
Counselor reviews these notes to ensure Sailors are not disadvantaged in their opportunities for retention.
Upon completion of the monthly process, Career Waypoints results will be available to command users via the Monthly
report section of the Career Waypoint system.

Nearly 200 years ago, the Navy ordered its ships be outfitted with a reading list of 37 books in order to help train and educate
Sailors. The Navy’s leaders knew then what is still the case today: to outthink our competitors we must study and apply lessons
we’ve learned from our past. Furthermore, it is critically important for our Navy to be a learning organization. And one of the very
best ways to do that is to foster an environment where every Sailor deepens their level of understanding and learning.

That is why we launched an updated Chief of Naval Operations Professional Reading Program (CNO-PRP) reading list, with a
motto of “Read Well to Lead Well.”

 SELECTION BOARD CHECKLIST FOR CPO PROMOTION TO SCPO

Step 1 - Review your Official Record to see what documentation, qualifications, etc. may be missing or requiring an
update. This should be accomplished every six months after promotion to Second Class. However, it is imperative that
this is accomplished six months prior to a selection board. Check the following three major sections to verify your Official
Record:
a. BUPERS Online: BUPERS Online (https://www.bol.navy.mil) is your main tool to ensure your record is up to date
and helps you to be proactive in making the most of your promotion opportunity. You should review your:
1. Official Military Personnel File (OMPF): All active duty and reserve personnel having a BOL account, a CAC
(with appropriate certificates) and a CAC-enabled computer can now view their OMPF online by selecting the
OMPF option on the BOL main menu page. This is the preferred method of obtaining OMPF information to
eliminate the unnecessary time-lags caused by waiting days or weeks to receive a requested CD ROM.
2. If Deployed: Click on "Request Record on CD" to order your Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). This
must be accomplished four to six months before a board convenes, which will allow time for delivery and
updating of your record if required.
3. Check your Performance Summary Record (PSR) and Enlisted Summary Record (ESR) on
https://www.bol.navy.mil, click on the "ODC, OSR, PSR, ESR" link.
b. Electronic Service Record (ESR) Self-Service ESR: This can be viewed at (https://nsips.nmci.navy.mil) or on the
Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) ESR server onboard ship.
c. Electronic Training Jacket (ETJ): Log in to My Navy Portal (MNP) and review your entire ETJ making sure that
each section is correct. If not, clicking on "Data Problems" at the bottom of each page which will guide you on how
to make corrections or updates.
d. US Navy Awards website: Log in to (https://awards.navy.mil/) to review any awards you may qualify for but were
unaware of. Note that this website is only available from a CAC enabled, NMCI machine.

Step 2 - Submit appropriate missing documents to the selection board.

a. Selection board packages provide candidates the opportunity to submit any documents missing from the sections
of their records which are viewed by the selection boards. MILPERSMAN 1070-080 specifies which documents
from the enlisted permanent personnel record are provided to the selection board for review. Any documents the
member has verified as missing from those sections of their permanent personnel record may be submitted as a
selection board package.
b. For submissions directly to the board and for those circumstances where the eligible candidate cannot get their
official record updated and confirmed prior to the selection board convening date:
1. All correspondence should be on plain white paper for readability; paper clipped (no staples, binders, folders,
or tabs) and submitted under cover letter to the president of the board. Candidates must verify the correct
subject line and board number (see below) is on their cover letters to ensure their packages appear before
the proper board.
2. Correspondence must include your Full name and SSN, must be affixed and legible on all documents
submitted, and must be emailed encrypted to the address provided in the associated NAVADMIN or
postmarked not later than the date listed in the associated NAVADMIN addressed to:

NAVY PERSONNEL COMMAND CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER

MILLINGTON TN 38055
(Active = 235 / SELRES = 205 / FTS = 206)

(Use of special handling mail (certified or registered) is not advised due to significant delays in handling.)
c. Ensure official record reflects any individual augmentation mission (awards, evals, NEC, etc).
d. Check https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/boards/activedutyenlisted/Pages/GeneralInformation.aspx to verify
that the selection board has received your correspondence (if sent).

NOTE: It is highly recommended that if corrections or updates are made, review your OMPF; or if Deployed, re-
order your CD-ROM to confirm changes. (NOTE: Please allow 60 days for changes to take effect)

IT - Information Systems Technician Page 108 of 166                        
 Step 3 - After reviewing your service record - such as evaluations, awards, qualifications, etc. - start reviewing what you
can do to improve yourself, such as:
a. Request a Career Development Board (CDB) through your chain of command.
b. Take a good, hard look at the type of Collateral Duties you are assigned. Review your command collateral duties
instruction and talk with your COC and / or appear before the CDB. Take the tough command duties that provide
the most involvement in the command as a whole and that have direct Sailor support.
c. Review your current level of education to see how far along you are in earning a college degree and pursue non-
resident Navy courses to expand your level of knowledge. Complete the Navy e-Learning courses on MNP that
are recommended in this document. Check Navy COOL (https://www.cool.osd.mil/usn/) for any related credentials
for which you may be qualified.
d. Check out OTHER Learning Opportunities to add to your service record, such as the CANTRAC Volume I
(Training Facilities) and CANTRAC Volume II (Course Descriptions) at
https://main.prod.cetars.training.navy.mil/cetars/main.html.

Step 4 - Review qualifications that your rating values or requires for advancement and create a plan to earn these
important pieces in the professional growth and advancement puzzle. Read the applicable NAVADMIN for additional
dates and information, and review previous selection board precepts.

Nearly 200 years ago, the Navy ordered its ships be outfitted with a reading list of 37 books in order to help train and educate
Sailors. The Navy’s leaders knew then what is still the case today: to outthink our competitors we must study and apply lessons
we’ve learned from our past. Furthermore, it is critically important for our Navy to be a learning organization. And one of the very
best ways to do that is to foster an environment where every Sailor deepens their level of understanding and learning.

That is why we launched an updated Chief of Naval Operations Professional Reading Program (CNO-PRP) reading list, with a
motto of “Read Well to Lead Well.”

 SELECTION BOARD CHECKLIST FOR SCPO PROMOTION TO MCPO

Step 1 - Review your Official Record to see what documentation, qualifications, etc. may be missing or requiring an
update. This should be accomplished every six months after promotion to Second Class. However, it is imperative that
this is accomplished six months prior to a selection board. Check the following three major sections to verify your Official
Record:
a. BUPERS Online: BUPERS Online (https://www.bol.navy.mil) is your main tool to ensure your record is up to date
and helps you to be proactive in making the most of your promotion opportunity. You should review your:
1. Official Military Personnel File (OMPF): All active duty and reserve personnel having a BOL account, a CAC
(with appropriate certificates) and a CAC-enabled computer can now view their OMPF online by selecting the
OMPF option on the BOL main menu page. This is the preferred method of obtaining OMPF information to
eliminate the unnecessary time-lags caused by waiting days or weeks to receive a requested CD ROM.
2. If Deployed: Click on "Request Record on CD" to order your Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). This
must be accomplished four to six months before a board convenes, which will allow time for delivery and
updating of your record if required.
3. Check your Performance Summary Record (PSR) and Enlisted Summary Record (ESR) on
https://www.bol.navy.mil, click on the "ODC, OSR, PSR, ESR" link.
b. Electronic Service Record (ESR) Self-Service ESR: This can be viewed at (https://nsips.nmci.navy.mil) or on the
Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) ESR server onboard ship.
c. Electronic Training Jacket (ETJ): Log in to My Navy Portal (MNP) and review your entire ETJ making sure that
each section is correct. If not, clicking on "Data Problems" at the bottom of each page which will guide you on how
to make corrections or updates.
d. US Navy Awards website: Log in to (https://awards.navy.mil/) to review any awards you may qualify for but were
unaware of. Note that this website is only available from a CAC enabled, NMCI machine.
e. Physical Readiness Information Management System (PRIMS): To log in to PRIMS, first log in to BUPERS
Online at https://www.bol.navy.mil. Then look half way down the page for the PRIMS login at
https://www.bol.navy.mil/bam/.
f. EOSH: The Federal Agency Employee Occupational Safety and Health (EOSH) Toolkit is available at
https://www.osha.gov/dep/fap/eosh_toolkit.html. It provides a one-stop-shop website that includes "just in time"
information about maintaining a safe and healthful workplace.

Step 2 - Submit appropriate missing documents to the selection board.

a. Selection board packages provide candidates the opportunity to submit any documents missing from the sections
of their records which are viewed by the selection boards. MILPERSMAN 1070-080 specifies which documents
from the enlisted permanent personnel record are provided to the selection board for review. Any documents the
member has verified as missing from those sections of their permanent personnel record may be submitted as a
selection board package.
b. For submissions directly to the board and for those circumstances where the eligible candidate cannot get their
official record updated and confirmed prior to the selection board convening date:
1. All correspondence should be on plain white paper for readability; paper clipped (no staples, binders, folders,
or tabs) and submitted under cover letter to the president of the board. Candidates must verify the correct
subject line and board number (see below) is on their cover letters to ensure their packages appear before
the proper board.
2. Correspondence must include your Full name and SSN, must be affixed and legible on all documents
submitted, and must be emailed encrypted to the address provided in the associated NAVADMIN or
postmarked not later than the date listed in the associated NAVADMIN addressed to:

NAVY PERSONNEL COMMAND CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER

PRESIDENT
FY-XX ACTIVE/RESERVE E9 ENLISTED SELECTION BOARD #XXX
5640 TICONDEROGA LOOP BLDG 768 RM E302
MILLINGTON TN 38055
(Active = 210 / SELRES = 205 / FTS = 206)

(Use of special handling mail (certified or registered) is not advised due to significant delays in handling.)
c. Ensure official record reflects any individual augmentation mission (awards, evals, NEC, etc).
d. Check https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/boards/activedutyenlisted/Pages/GeneralInformation.aspx to verify
that the selection board has received your correspondence (if sent).

NOTE: It is highly recommended that if corrections or updates are made, review your OMPF; or if Deployed, re-
order your CD-ROM to confirm changes. (NOTE: Please allow 60 days for changes to take effect)

IT - Information Systems Technician Page 128 of 166                        
 Step 3 - After reviewing your service record - such as evaluations, awards, qualifications, etc. - start reviewing what you
can do to improve yourself, such as:
a. Request a Career Development Board (CDB) through your chain of command.
b. Take a good, hard look at the type of Collateral Duties you are assigned. Review your command collateral duties
instruction and talk with your COC and / or appear before the CDB. Take the tough command duties that provide
the most involvement in the command as a whole and that have direct Sailor support.
c. Review your current level of education to see how far along you are in earning a college degree and pursue non-
resident Navy courses to expand your level of knowledge. Complete the Navy e-Learning courses on MNP that
are recommended in this document. Check Navy COOL (https://www.cool.osd.mil/usn/) for any related credentials
for which you may be qualified.
d. Check out OTHER Learning Opportunities to add to your service record, such as the CANTRAC Volume I
(Training Facilities) and CANTRAC Volume II (Course Descriptions) at
https://main.prod.cetars.training.navy.mil/cetars/main.html.

Step 4 - Review qualifications that your rating values or requires for advancement and create a plan to earn these
important pieces in the professional growth and advancement puzzle. Read the applicable NAVADMIN for additional
dates and information, and review previous selection board precepts.

Nearly 200 years ago, the Navy ordered its ships be outfitted with a reading list of 37 books in order to help train and educate
Sailors. The Navy’s leaders knew then what is still the case today: to outthink our competitors we must study and apply lessons
we’ve learned from our past. Furthermore, it is critically important for our Navy to be a learning organization. And one of the very
best ways to do that is to foster an environment where every Sailor deepens their level of understanding and learning.

That is why we launched an updated Chief of Naval Operations Professional Reading Program (CNO-PRP) reading list, with a
motto of “Read Well to Lead Well.”

Nearly 200 years ago, the Navy ordered its ships be outfitted with a reading list of 37 books in order to help train and educate
Sailors. The Navy’s leaders knew then what is still the case today: to outthink our competitors we must study and apply lessons
we’ve learned from our past. Furthermore, it is critically important for our Navy to be a learning organization. And one of the very
best ways to do that is to foster an environment where every Sailor deepens their level of understanding and learning.

That is why we launched an updated Chief of Naval Operations Professional Reading Program (CNO-PRP) reading list, with a
motto of “Read Well to Lead Well.”

VOLUNTARY EDUCATION

Note: Prior to considering any pursuit of off duty education or program enrollment contact the Navy College Virtual
Education Center (NCVEC) or visit your Overseas Navy College Office.

You must complete the Tuition Assistance Training before your first course will be approved.

Complete the online courses at the Navy College Website: http://www.navycollege.navy.mil/

How do I get started?

You already have. All your training up to this point is part of your Information Systems Technician Roadmap. Now that you
have made the first steps you will need to sit down and formulate a plan. This plan will work best if you start out discussing your
options with your Leading Chief Petty Officer, Leading Petty Officer, Mentor, or Career Counselor. They will help you understand
all of the basics. Then your next step is to contact the Navy College Virtual Education Center or visit your Overseas Navy College
Office. Then your counselors will be able to help you formalize your plan and make sure that it makes sense for both you and the
Navy. To aid you in your conversation with these professionals, here are a few questions that you may want to ask.

What credits do you have? What non-college courses have you taken? Where do you want to go? What field of study, or what
kind of degree? What program will help me get there: Traditional or Online? What are my next steps: Transfer credits, take
exams, have experience evaluated, or sign up for new courses?

 GENERAL INFORMATION ON VOLUNTARY EDUCATION

The Navy College Program & Web Page:

The Navy College Program (NCP) provides opportunities to Sailors to earn college degrees by providing academic credit for
Navy training, work experience, and off-duty education. The NCP mission is to enable Sailors to obtain a college degree while
on active duty. In support of the four R's - Recruiting, Readiness, Retention, and Respect - the NCP signifies Navy's commitment
to education by improving enlistment appeal; demonstrating Navy service and achieving a college degree are compatible;
helping Sailors apply themselves to new situations and challenges and better preparing them for advancement; building up
Sailors' self-image; and producing higher quality Sailors.
More information is available online at: https://www.navycollege.navy.mil

Tuition Assistance (TA):

NAVADMIN 114/19 limit changes as of 1 October 2019: TA provides funds for eligible active-duty personnel to attend approved
educational institutions on an off-duty basis to earn a high school diploma, vocational/technical certificate, or college degree. TA
pays for tuition. TA will pay for the following amount per career: 120 semester hours, or 180-quarter hours or 1800 clock hours or
a combination of semester, quarter and clock hours. TA will pay the following amounts per fiscal year: 12 semester hours, not to
exceed $250/credit for semester hours or 18-quarter hours not-to-exceed $166.67/credit for quarter hours or, 180 clock hours
not-to-exceed $16.67/clock hours or a combination of semester, quarter and clock hours.

More information is available online at: https://www.navycollege.navy.mil

Joint Service Transcripts (JST)

JSTs are official military transcripts which are used by colleges to validate your actual credited training. Every Sailor has a
transcript already and access to it is free.
More information is available online at: https://jst.doded.mil/

The American Council on Education (ACE)

ACE has reviewed every course listed in the OCCUPATIONAL Roadmap and determined what type of collegiate level credit is
recommended. The ACE identifier, listed with each course, is a source to validate the information and to check for changes as
they occur.
Updates can be found at http://www.acenet.edu/news-room/Pages/Military-Guide-Online.aspx.

Vocational Certificates
Vocational Certificates are available from most community colleges. Most of your military training can be counted toward their
degree programs, but they will still require residency credits and approximately 40-75 credit hours. These certificates can be as
valuable as the apprenticeship program in the civilian work force.

College credits by Testing CLEP, DSST

Testing can replace the requirement to attend most of the college courses listed in the Occupational Roadmap. Base Education
Centers offer CLEP and DSST exams for active duty military at no cost. They also offer a comprehensive list of "credit-by-exam"
tests. Additionally, many of the tests have study guides available. These tests are available at the base education center or
through the base library system. For specific testing locations visit the DANTES website.

DANTES: http://www.dantes.doded.mil/examinations/earn-college-credit/earn-college-credit.html

College Entrance Exams Testing ACT, SAT

The ACT and SAT are both standardized tests that help colleges evaluate candidates. Many colleges require that students
submit test results as part of the admission application process. Since Sailors are considered transfer students, these tests are
not generally required for admission. However, some Sailors must take the tests to enter specific military programs.
