Click HERE to view the MA Community Summary sheet. Click HERE to view the MA Career path data sheet. DETAILERS CORNER: Spouse Co-locations: Detailers cannot co-locate fiancés, significant others, or Sailors who marry after receipt of orders. Detailers should have the NAVPERS 1306/7 (Enlisted Personnel Action Request) 10-12 months from their current PRD. For two Sailors not in their negotiation window: Both Detailers and both Rating Specialists will collaborate to determine the best locations for each Sailor involved so they can be collocated. Detailers will not use CMS/ID to co-locate the Sailors, the highest priority REQS that are in the gray for each rating will be used in the co-location process. Detailers would prefer this action to take place closer to the Sailors 10 month mark (to have a better understanding of the REQS that need to be filled), but Sailors can be placed in an assignment earlier if the intention is to roll before their PRDs. If the Sailors get into their PRD window, they become regular rollers and will be detailed by CMS/ID. We will still try to collocate but without a guarantee. 3 Dependent Verification: Sailors applying for overseas assignments must take initiative and ensure their records reflect their correct number of dependents. A new State Department directive requires all military dependents accompanying service members overseas must be listed on the sponsors orders. This dependent verification should be completed 12 months from the Sailors PRD. As a reminder, ORDMOD's cost money so we want to encourage Sailors to be proactive and square-away their records to ensure a smooth PCS. Orders: Have an open mind and understand your career requirements (sea/shore flow) when applying for orders via CMS/ID communicating with the Detailers. Orders are not an invitation or a request.

SAFETY OPNAVINST 1500.75B (4 Mar 10) POLICY AND PROCEDURES FOR CONDUCTING HIGHRISK TRAINING This instruction establishes policy and procedures to abate or minimize mishaps during high-risk training. Due to recent changes to the Navy’s training organization, this Instruction has been extensively revised and should be read in its entirety. Risk of injury is increased during all high risk training and it serves to emphasize the use of Operational Risk management and the implementation of proper controls which help mitigate risk. Training individuals and teams in the use of time critical risk management has shown positive results in creating a safer training environment. 5 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MWD Recommendations: Sailors who are interested in the MWD program must be recommended by MWD program manager prior to entering their 9-month CMS/ID negotiation window.

Have you completed any formal technical training program? If not, what are you waiting for? Navy COOL COOL (Credentialing Opportunities On-Line) helps Navy Service members find information on certifications and licenses related to enlisted ratings, designators, collateral duties/ out of rate assignments, and officer designators. COOL explains how Sailors can meet civilian certification and license requirements and provides links to numerous resources to help get Sailors started. USMAP The United Services Military Apprenticeship Program (USMAP) is a formal military training program executed by the Center for Personal and Professional Development that provides active duty Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy service members the opportunity to improve their job skills and to complete their civilian apprenticeship requirements while they are on active duty. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) provides the nationally recognized "Certificate of Completion" upon program completion. USMAP enhances your job skills and shows your motivation for more challenging military assignments. Having a DOL Certificate of Completion is a definite advantage in getting better civilian jobs since employers know the value of apprenticeships. Navy College The Navy College provides Sailors with opportunities to earn college degrees through a variety of options. The program's mission is to provide continual academic support to Sailors while they pursue a technical or college degree, regardless of their location or duty station.
