THIS NAVADMIN ANNOUNCES IMPROVED RATING DESIGNATION FOR TOP PERFORMING SAILORS. AS ANNOUNCED IN REF A, THE NAVY WILL IMPLEMENT A RATING/YEAR GROUP BASED QUOTA SYSTEM EFFECTIVE 1 JULY 2009. THIS WILL VECTOR OUR TOP PERFORMING NON-DESIGNATED SAILORS TO UNDERMANNED RATINGS, PUTTING THEM ON A CAREER TRACK THAT BALANCES NAVY REQUIREMENTS AND SAILOR CHOICE. ADDITIONALLY, THE NEW PROCESS IMPROVES SAILOR FIT, REDUCES PAPERWORK, AND SUPPORTS OUR COMMITMENT TO PLACE PROFESSIONAL APPRENTICE CAREER TRACK (PACT) AND GENERAL DETAIL (GENDET) SAILORS INTO RATINGS WITHIN 24 MONTHS OF REPORTING TO THEIR FIRST PERMANENT DUTY STATION. 2. COMMAND CAREER COUNSELORS WILL USE THE FLEET RATING IDENTIFICATION ENGINE (FLEET RIDE) TO DETERMINE SAILOR ELIGIBILITY AND AVAILABLE QUOTAS FOR THEIR DESIRED RATING PRIOR TO SUBMITTING THE REQUEST DIRECTLY TO BUPERS. ENLISTED COMMUNITY MANAGERS (ECM) WILL DEVELOP QUOTAS, REVIEW RACK AND STACK RESULTS, AND APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE APPLICATIONS. MONTHLY QUOTAS AND APPLICATION RESULTS WILL BE AVAILABLE IN FLEET RIDE AND AT WWW.NPC.NAVY.MIL/CAREERINFO/ ENLISTEDCAREERPROGRESSION/ACTIVEDUTYADVANCEMENT. 3. APPROVALS FOR RATING DESIGNATION WILL BE DETERMINED BY UNIT BILLET BASE, ONBOARD MANNING STATUS, AND SAILOR ELIGIBILITY. VIA FLEET RIDE, COMMANDS MAY SUBMIT UP TO THREE CHOICES PER APPLICANT FROM ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING DESIGNATION PATHS: A. NAVY WIDE ADVANCEMENT EXAM (NWAE) APPLICATIONS. SAILORS MUST MEET ALL CURRENT RATING ENTRY REQUIREMENTS INCLUDING TIME IN RATE ELIGIBILITY AND ADVANCEMENT RECOMMENDATION FOR NWAE "APPROVAL REQUIRED" RATINGS. B. "A" SCHOOL APPLICATIONS. SAILORS MUST HAVE MINIMUM 12 MONTHS ONBOARD PRIOR TO SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION AND MEET ALL CURRENT RATING ENTRY AND "A" SCHOOL ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS. ADDITIONALLY, THEY MUST AGREE TO INCUR OBLISERV IF REQUIRED. C. DIRECT RATING ENTRY DESIGNATION (RED) RECOMMENDATIONS. TOP SAILORS WHO ARE FULLY QUALIFIED AND HAVE A MINIMUM OF 12 MONTHS ONBOARD ARE ELIGIBLE FOR DIRECT DESIGNATION. SAILORS MAY NOT RECEIVE DIRECT DESIGNATION INTO "A" SCHOOL REQUIRED RATINGS. 4. APPRENTICESHIP CHANGE CONVERSION REQUESTS. SAILORS DESIRING A RATING OUTSIDE OF CURRENT CAREER TRACK MAY REQUEST CONVERSION TO THE APPROPRIATE APPRENTICESHIP IF QUOTAS ARE AVAILABLE (EG. SN-FN, FN-AN). SAILORS MUST RECEIVE APPROVAL FOR APPRENTICESHIP CONVERSION PRIOR TO REQUESTING RATING DESIGNATION IN THE NEW APPRENTICESHIP CAREER PATH. 5. A MONTHLY RACK/STACK PROCESS WILL BE IMPLEMENTED WITHIN FLEET RIDE. TO OPTIMIZE FIT, AND ENSURE FAIR CONSIDERATION FOR ALL APPLICANTS, THE RACK/STACK WILL BE BASED ON MOST RECENT EVALUATION, PAYGRADE, TIME AS AN APPRENTICE, AND RIDE SCORE. ALL APPLICATIONS MUST GO THROUGH THE RACK/STACK PROCESS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR APPROVAL. TO ACCOMMODATE COMMANDS UNABLE TO ACCESS FLEET RIDE, A SPREADSHEET SUBMISSION PROCESS SIMILAR TO THAT CURRENTLY USED FOR PERFORM TO SERVE (PTS) WILL BE AVAILABLE. THE SPREADSHEET WILL BE AVAILABLE ON THE NPC WEBSITE IN THE QUICK LINKS SECTION UNDER CAREER COUNSELING. COMMANDS WILL EMAIL SPREADSHEETS TO THE FLEET RIDE HELPDESK. 6. RATING ENTRY APPLICATION SUBMISSION AND PROCESSING: A. ALL CURRENT RATING ENTRY POLICIES REMAIN IN EFFECT. SAILORS WITH PTS APPLICATIONS CURRENTLY IN PROCESSING ARE ONLY ELIGIBLE FOR RATING ENTRY VIA NWAE FOR THE PTS APPROVED RATING. GENDET AND PACT SAILORS MAY NO LONGER SUBMIT NAVPERS 1306/07 FOR NWAE APPROVAL OR "A" SCHOOL REQUESTS. B. NWAE APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED FOR RACK/STACK SEPTEMBER THROUGH FEBRUARY WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR THE MARCH NWAE. MARCH THROUGH AUGUST RACK/STACK WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR SEPTEMBER NWAE. APPLICATIONS FOR SEPTEMBER 2009 NWAE MUST BE SUBMITTED IN THE JULY AND AUGUST 2009 RACK/STACK. C. 1 JULY: NEW PROCESS IN EFFECT. APPLICATION WINDOW OPENS (NWAE AND "A" SCHOOL REQUESTS ONLY). D. 24 JULY: JULY APPLICATION CUT-OFF, COMMENCE RACK/STACK. AUGUST APPLICATION WINDOW OPENS. APPLICATIONS RECEIVED AFTER THE CUT- OFF DATE WILL BE CONSIDERED IN THE AUGUST RACK/STACK. SAILORS WHO ARE DISAPPROVED FOR ALL REQUESTED OPTIONS IN JULY MUST RESUBMIT THEIR APPLICATIONS FOR AUGUST PROCESSING. E. 31 JULY: JULY APPLICATION RESULTS PUBLISHED. F. 21 AUGUST: AUGUST APPLICATION CUT-OFF, COMMENCE RACK/STACK. SEPTEMBER APPLICATION WINDOW OPENS FOR ALL DESIGNATION OPTIONS. G. 31 AUGUST: AUGUST APPLICATION RESULTS PUBLISHED. H. BEGINNING IN SEPTEMBER 2009, THE APPLICATION WINDOW WILL CLOSE THE LAST DAY OF THE MONTH. 7. TO PREPARE FOR JULY 2009 PROCESSING, ALL CAREER COUNSELORS SHOULD IMMEDIATELY ENSURE THEIR FLEET RIDE ACCOUNTS ARE UP-TO-DATE WITH THE REQUIRED SYSTEM AUTHORIZATION ACCESS REQUEST FORM ON FILE AT THE FLEET RIDE HELPDESK. ADDITIONALLY, CAREER COUNSELORS SHOULD VERIFY THAT ALL NON-DESIGNATED SAILORS ARE QUALIFIED IN FLEET RIDE TO MAXIMIZE THEIR OPPORTUNITY FOR RATING ENTRY. COMMANDS ARE HIGHLY ENCOURAGED TO QUALIFY NON-DESIGNATED SAILORS IN FLEET RIDE AT THEIR REPORTING CAREER DEVELOPMENT BOARD TO MAXIMIZE RATING ENTRY OPPORTUNITIES. 8. POINTS OF CONTACT: - MR.
