CAREER ROADMAP

Seaman Recruit to Master Chief Roadmap

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

What is a Career Roadmap for Operations Specialist?

Operations Specialist roadmaps are just what the name implies - a roadmap through the Enlisted Learning and DevelopmentContinuum from Seaman Recruit through Master Chief. The principal focus is to standardize a program Navy wide by featuringthe existing skills necessary to be successful in the Navy. The ultimate goal of a roadmap is to produce a functional andcompetent 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 foundationof 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 youprogress 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 Operations Specialist roadmap includes the four areas encompassed by the Continuum in Professional MilitaryEducation to include; Navy Professional Military Education (NPME), Joint Professional Military Education (JPME), Leadershipand Advanced Education.

Some training and education is mandatory (Recruit Training, OS School at Great Lakes, E-Learning, etc.). Some may bedirected 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, SeniorEnlisted Advisor, Leading Chief Petty Officer, Leading Petty Officer and Command Career Counselor, and to make use of yourNavy College Virtual Education Center (VEC) or OCONUS Education Office's vast resources. All are uniquely qualified to helpyou along the way.

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 anupdate. This should be accomplished every six months after promotion to Second Class. However, it is imperative thatthis is accomplished six months prior to a selection board. Check the following three major sections to verify your OfficialRecord:

a. BUPERS Online: BUPERS Online (https://www.bol.navy.mil) is your main tool to ensure your record is up to dateand 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 theOMPF option on the BOL main menu page. This is the preferred method of obtaining OMPF information toeliminate 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). Thismust be accomplished four to six months before a board convenes, which will allow time for delivery andupdating of your record if required.

3. Check your Performance Summary Record (PSR) and Enlisted Summary Record (ESR) onhttps://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 theNavy 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 thateach section is correct. If not, clicking on "Data Problems" at the bottom of each page which will guide you on howto 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 wereunaware 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 BUPERSOnline at https://www.bol.navy.mil. Then look half way down the page for the PRIMS login athttps://www.bol.navy.mil/bam/.

f. EOSH: The Federal Agency Employee Occupational Safety and Health (EOSH) Toolkit is available athttps://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 sectionsof their records which are viewed by the selection boards. MILPERSMAN 1070-080 specifies which documentsfrom the enlisted permanent personnel record are provided to the selection board for review. Any documents themember has verified as missing from those sections of their permanent personnel record may be submitted as aselection board package.

b. For submissions directly to the board and for those circumstances where the eligible candidate cannot get theirofficial 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 correctsubject line and board number (see below) is on their cover letters to ensure their packages appear beforethe proper board.

2. Correspondence must include your Full name and SSN, must be affixed and legible on all documentssubmitted, and must be emailed encrypted to the address provided in the associated NAVADMIN orpostmarked not later than the date listed in the associated NAVADMIN addressed to:

NAVY PERSONNEL COMMAND CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTERPRESIDENTFY-XX ACTIVE/RESERVE E7 ENLISTED SELECTION BOARD #XXX5640 TICONDEROGA LOOP BLDG 768 RM E302MILLINGTON 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 verifythat 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)

Step 3 - After reviewing your service record - such as evaluations, awards, qualifications, etc. - start reviewing what youcan 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 dutiesinstruction and talk with your COC and / or appear before the CDB. Take the tough command duties that providethe 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 thatare recommended in this document. Check Navy COOL (https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn) for any related credentialsfor 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) athttps://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 theseimportant pieces in the professional growth and advancement puzzle. Read the applicable NAVADMIN for additionaldates 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 assoon as the Bibliography References are posted six months prior in July. Use the Navy Advancement Center info andwebsite listed above in the advancement section.

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 reenlistmentintentions. Sailors who do not desire to reenlist will submit an "intends to separate" application. Sailors not eligible forreenlistment will submit a "not eligible" application.

The Career Waypoints system automatically generates most of the applications needed by Sailors. Applications must besubmitted 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) willsubmit an application 15 months prior to their PRD.

applications for Sailors 18 months prior to either timeframe. Applications required outside of the established C-Way gatescan be submitted as Special Circumstance applications. Examples of when these may be needed include OBLISERVE forspecial 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 monthfrom S/EAOS/EOS mark and must be submitted by the Command Career Counselor at the 16 month mark. This providestime 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, andSelected Reserve. The second review gate occurs from 12 to 9 months from S/EAOS/EOS with career choice options ofconversion and Selected Reserve. From 8 months to 4 months to S/EAOS/EOS the Sailor can only choose SelectedReserve 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:

Intend to separate

Not eligible

In February 2014, C-Way delivered auto-approval capabilities to provide reenlistment decisions on S/EAOS/EOS applicationsmore 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 forreenlistment, and your application is submitted with correct data it will be auto-approved and returned immediately, and youcan reenlist.

If you are in a "competitive" rating or a balanced rating but not an undermanned year group, then your application will beprocessed through the monthly Rack and Stack process. Applications submitted in one month are processed in Rack andStack the following month.

For Nuclear ratings, all applications are reviewed by enlisted community managers on an ongoing basis throughout theprocessing month.

If required data is missing (evaluations, Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) data, security clearance etc.) the applicationwill be denied with a note to your career counselor regarding what needs to be fixed. It is critical the Command CareerCounselor 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 Monthlyreport 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 [email protected]

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 isrecommended. The ACE identifier, listed with each course, is a source to validate the information and to check for changes asthey 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 theirdegree programs, but they will still require residency credits and approximately 40-75 credit hours. These certificates can be asvaluable 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 EducationCenters 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 orthrough the base library system. For specific testing locations visit the DANTES website.

College Entrance Exams Testing ACT, SAT

The ACT and SAT are both standardized tests that help colleges evaluate candidates. Many colleges require that studentssubmit test results as part of the admission application process. Since Sailors are considered transfer students, these tests arenot generally required for admission. However, some Sailors must take the tests to enter specific military programs.
