RMKS/1. THIS MESSAGE ANNOUNCES IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NAVAL
SPECIAL WARFARE (NSW) ALTERNATIVE FINAL MULTIPLE SCORE (AFMS).
THE NSW AFMS WILL BE USED BEGINNING WITH THE JANUARY 2011
ACTIVE E7 EXAM (CYCLE 210) TO DETERMINE E7 SELECTION BOARD
ELIGIBILITY (SBE) FOR THE SPECIAL WARFARE OPERATOR (SO) AND
SPECIAL WARFARE BOAT OPERATOR (SB) RATINGS.
2. BACKGROUND. THE NSW AFMS PILOT PROJECT, ANNOUNCED IN
REF A, HAS SUCCESSFULLY DEMONSTRATED OVER THE PAST THREE
YEARS THAT INCORPORATING COMMUNITY-SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE-RELATED
FACTORS INTO E7 SBE CALCULATIONS WILL IMPROVE THE PROCESS FOR
DETERMINING SO AND SB BOARD ELIGIBILITY. THE CENTER FOR SEAL
AND SWCC (CENSEALSWCC) CONDUCTED THE PILOT PROJECT IN CLOSE
COORDINATION WITH NSW LEADERSHIP AND THE NAVAL EDUCATION AND
TRAINING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND TECHNOLOGY CENTER (NETPDTC).
3. THE NSW AFMS ADDS FIVE PERFORMANCE FACTORS TO THE CURRENT
E7 FMS FACTORS OF EXAM STANDARD SCORE (SS) AND PERFORMANCE
MARK AVERAGE (PMA). THE NSW AFMS WILL CONSIST OF THE FOLLOWING
SEVEN FACTORS:
A. LEADERSHIP: MEASURES TIME SPENT IN SPECIFIC
LEADERSHIP POSITIONS;
B. OCONUS DEPLOYMENTS: MEASURES TIME SPENT DEPLOYED OCONUS;
C. QUALIFICATIONS: MEASURES OPERATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS
AND CERTIFICATIONS ESSENTIAL TO CURRENT AND FUTURE
WARFIGHTING CAPABILITY;
D. AWARDS: MEASURES AWARDS USING STANDARD POINTS FOR NAVY
AWARDS PER REF B;
E. ETHOS: ACCOUNTS FOR BEHAVIORAL ISSUES, E.G.
NON-JUDICIAL PUNISHMENT (NJP), DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE (DUI),
OR PHYSICAL FITNESS ASSESSMENT (PFA) FAILURES, BY DEDUCTING
POINTS WITH A REDUCTION OF IMPACT OVER TIME;
F. EXAM SS: RESULTS FROM THE E7 EXAM CALCULATED BY
NETPDTC; AND
G. PMA: CALCULATED PER REF B.
4. NSW AFMS POINT CALCULATION DETAILS AND FACTOR WEIGHTS
WILL BE DISSEMINATED IN A SEPARATE COMNAVSPECWARCOM GENADMIN.
5. A UNIQUE FEATURE OF NSW AFMS IS THAT FACTOR POINTS FOR
LEADERSHIP, OCONUS DEPLOYMENTS, QUALIFICATIONS, AWARDS, AND
ETHOS WILL BE CALCULATED USING INFORMATION IN EACH CANDIDATES
ELECTRONIC SERVICE RECORD (ESR) IN THE NAVY STANDARD
INTEGRATED PERSONNEL SYSTEM (NSIPS). ALL E7 ELIGIBLE SO AND
SB CANDIDATE'S SHOULD REVIEW THEIR ESR WITH THE ASSISTANCE
OF THE COMMAND CAREER COUNSELOR OR EDUCATIONAL SERVICES
OFFICER TO ENSURE ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF INFORMATION
RELATED TO NSW AFMS FACTORS. SERVICE MEMBERS SHOULD BE
PREPARED TO PRODUCE AUTHORITATIVE DOCUMENTS RELATED TO
QUALIFICATIONS, AWARDS, AND DEPLOYMENTS THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY
CAPTURED IN NAVY ELECTRONIC RECORDS SYSTEMS.
6. THE NSW AFMS WILL NOT BE IMPLEMENTED FOR THE NSW RESERVE
COMMUNITY AT THIS TIME. THE STANDARD E7 FINAL MULTIPLE SCORE
WILL CONTINUE TO BE USED TO DETERMINE SBE OF RESERVE SO AND
SB E7 CANDIDATES.
