REF D IS NAVADMIN 150/20, SEPTEMBER 2020 (CYCLE 248) NAVY-WIDE ADVANCEMENT EXAMINATIONS FOR ACTIVE-DUTY AND FULL-TIME SUPPORT PETTY OFFICERS (E-4 THROUGH E-6). RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN cancels references (a) through (c) and announces updated business rules for the Professional Military Knowledge Eligibility Exam (PMK-EE). 2. As part of Sailor 2025 and Rating Modernization efforts, the PMK-EE provides greater emphasis on professional military knowledge and separates it from rating knowledge examinations. PMK-EE serves as an eligibility requirement to take the Navy-wide advancement exam (NWAE) for advancement to paygrades E-4 through E-7 or if taking the NWAE for participation in the limited duty officer program. 3. PMK-EE completion is also required for Prior Service Reenlistment Eligibility Reserve candidates taking the NWAE in order to advance to the next-higher paygrade. Sailors who are taking the NWAE in their current paygrade in order to lateral transfer or make their rate permanent in the current paygrade will not need to complete the PMK-EE. Sailors who are competing for advancement through a program (i.e. the Meritorious Advancement Program) that does not require them to take the NWAE to advance must successfully complete PMK-EE for the next-higher paygrade prior to advancing. 4. The enlisted advancement worksheet (EAW) routing and processing requires additional time for Educational Services Officers to finalize advancement candidate worksheets, resulting in required changes to PMK-EE completion due dates. Starting with cycle 248 (September 2020) for active-duty (AD) and full-time support (FTS) advancement candidates and (in line with reference (d)), cycle 108 (February 2021) for Selected Reserve (SELRES) advancement candidates, the following PMK-EE completion dates are required for each annual NWAE cycle administration: a. January AD/FTS E7 NWAE cycle prior to 1 December of the previous year. b. February SELRES E-4/5/6/7 NWAE cycle prior to 1 January of the same year. c. March AD/FTS E-4/5/6 NWAE cycle prior to 1 February of the same year. d. August SELRES E-4/5/6 NWAE cycle prior to 1 July of the same year. e. September AD/FTS E-4/5/6 NWAE cycle - prior to 1 August of the same year. 5. Sailors completing the PMK-EE, especially when using the mobile application, are advised to complete the following actions: a. Ensure that the completion certificate indicates a score of 80 percent or higher, and that the completion date on the certificate meets the requirements stated in paragraph 4. b. Save a digital copy of the PDF completion certificate to a file on the mobile device or computer. c. E-mail a digital copy of the PDF completion certificate to an alternate location that is not on the mobile device. d. Print a paper copy of the PDF completion certificate for personal files. e. Store the digital and/or paper copy of the completion certificate in a location where it can be recovered if mobile device data is lost. f. Ensure that the completion information is recorded in the Navy Training Management and Planning System (NTMPS)/Electronic Training Jacket (Note: Allow 4 days after submission for completion information to be updated in NTMPS.). If information is not updated, the Sailor should provide a copy of the PMK-EE completion certificate to the chain of command. The chain of command is responsible for contacting NTMPS at https://ntmpsweb.ncdc.navy.mil/Fltmps/ to coordinate data entry of completion information. g. Ensure all completion data is available at an alternate site prior to deleting the mobile application. Once the mobile application is deleted from the Sailors mobile device the completion information stored within the application is also deleted and cannot be recovered or viewed by downloading the mobile application again. 6. If the EAW of a Sailor is not automatically populated with the required PMK-EE completion information, the NTMPS information can be referenced and entered into EAW to document individual Sailor eligibility for advancement. If completion information is available in NTMPS there is no requirement for a Sailor to produce a paper completion certificate or for an electronic copy of the completion certificate to be uploaded into EAW. 7.
