THE SELRES ENLISTED COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION INTO THE

SPECIFIC YEAR GROUP AND CRITICAL SKILL SET.  THIS CHANGE IS INTENDED TO 
INCREASE THE WORK TRANSITION CAPABILITY OF OUR VALUABLE SAILORS 
BALANCED AGAINST PROTECTING OVERMANNED YEAR GROUPS.

IMMEDIATELY.  PER NAVADMIN 277/05, ALL CREO 1 SAILORS SHALL SUBMIT PTS 
APPLICATIONS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR REENLISTMENT INTENTIONS.

RATING TO CREO 2 RATINGS WILL BE ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS ONLY.  
REQUESTS FOR CHANGE IN RATING TO CREO 3 WILL BE ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS 
DEPENDING ON CRITICAL SKILL SET, SPECIFIC YEAR GROUP AND SHOULD BE 
COORDINATED IN ADVANCE WITH ENLISTED COMMUNITY MANAGER. PER MILPERSMAN
