• The Navy announced the establishment of the Career Transition Office (CTO) July 30 to assist Sailors transitioning between the Navy's active and Reserve components.

•"The overall goals of the Career Transition Office are to ease the transition of personnel into active duty and Reserve billets, decrease transition processing times and error rates, and increase Reserve affiliation among qualified Sailors leaving active duty," said Vice Adm. Mark Ferguson, chief of naval personnel.

•The CTO was established under the Navy's continuum of service initiative. It is designed to develop flexible service options to meet Sailors individual career objectives.

•Future program plans for the CTO include managing all enlisted personnel by directing active to reserve transitions, centralizing administrative actions in processing and streamlining non-mobilization Reserve-to-active-duty transitions.

• Relevant instructions, documents and information are located under the transition (CTO) tab on the NPC career info webpage at www.Npc.Navy.Mil/careerinfo/transition. Additional information can be obtained at NAVADMIN 229/09.

The Commander in Chief and Secretary of Defense will be holding an online Town Hall meeting and will be taking questions directly from our service members deployed in support of CENTCOM. The URL for the homepage is www.militaryonesource.com/townhall. It will link you to the page where you'll be able to post a question and vote on the questions that have already been posted. The site will be open from 18 Aug-18 Sep and for those who can't access this Web site but have a question, a separate e-mail address has been set up at townhall@militaryonesource.com.

Town Hall Meeting with Commander in Chief

Effective October 2009, the organizational construct and business rules on CMS-ID (Interactive Detailing) will change as follows:

A. The sailor negotiation window will be nine to seven months prior to a Sailor's PRD, providing a 3-month window to negotiate for orders before a sailor is eligible for a directed "needs of the navy" assignment.

B. The manning control authorities (MCA) will use CMS/ID to advertise more requisitions each cycle.

C. The majority of the requisitions will be displayed in the green zone. GSA requisitions will continue to be displayed in the purple zone. A major enhancement, the red zone, will now display the most critical readiness degrading requisitions

D. If not filled, they will directly degrade the mission capability of a deploying unit, operational support organization or training command. NPC will fill every red zone requisition every month, and all sailors in the negotiating window (PRD minus 9 months) will be considered to be eligible for assignment, perhaps involuntarily, to red zone requisitions. These priority requisitions will be identified each month by the MCA, and the number of red zone requisitions will not exceed two per rate (e.g., Two YN3, two YN2, two YN1, etc) for both sea and shore requisitions. (From Page 1, CMS-ID)

Detailers will identify sailors for assignment to critical red zone requirements using the following priorities:

(1) first priority - volunteers.

(2) second priority - sailors who are available for immediate assignment. Generally, these are sailors returning to full duty from limited duty, or sailors whose current assignment has been curtailed for some reason.

(3) third priority - sailors who are unassigned and who are within their "needs of the navy" window (PRD minus 6 months).

(4) fourth priority - sailors who are within 9 months of their PRD. These sailors will be further categorized by PRD month, starting with those who have been in their negotiation window the longest. Read NAVADMIN 249/09 for complete details.

The Navy will change the Short Term Extension (STE) policy Oct. 1, affecting obligated service (OBLISERV)rules for enlisted personnel, According to NAVADMIN 242/09. Currently, a Sailor has to obligate for 12 months when they receive orders to sea duty, unless DoD area requirements are greater. The new policy will require 24 months of obligated service, with these exceptions:

* Sailors with less than 24 months until their high year tenure date must only obligate for the amount of time needed to reach that date.

* Sailors will obligate for the requisite time-on-station requirements for PCS orders to places that require less than 24 months, such as Diego Garcia and unaccompanied tours.

* All other obligated-service requirements will remain the same.

The maximum number of short-term extensions that a Sailor may now use will be two per contract. The length of an extension will be limited to 23 months, and the total of all extensions cannot exceed 24 months. Other rules include:

* Extensions counting against the Sailor's two-extension limit are those that help manage their careers or if they benefit to the Sailor. For example: Instead of reenlisting, a Sailor uses an extension to obtain OBLISERV so he/she can execute PCS orders.

* Extensions not counted are Navy-required ones, such as the PCS delay this past summer.

Sailors choosing not to obligate for the required 24 months but have more than 12 months of contract time left will be assigned based on the "needs of the Navy" or, if eligible, will be encouraged to voluntarily separate at end of obligated service {EAOS} or projected rotation date {PRD), whichever is closer. Those assigned "needs of the Navy" orders will not necessarily stay at their present command.

New Rules on OBLISERVE and Extension

•The enlisted continuation board will focus on retaining the Navy’s top performers to sustain a quality force that embodies the chief petty officers’ mission, vision and guiding principles.

• Quality performance is the priority.

• There are no quotas for the enlisted continuation board.

Approximately 6,000 personnel will be reviewed by the Senior Enlisted Continuation Board.

• About 70 board members are expected to convene 21 Sept. for a period of three weeks to conduct the FY 2010 board.

• For more information refer to NAVADMIN 030/09, 096/09, and 211/09.

Continuation Board Update

Career Wise SEPTEMBER 2009 3

The LaDR provides continuity and direction for Sailors in their career development from Delayed Entry Program through Master Chief Petty Officer. A LaDR guides Sailors in identifying current, and projecting future, enlisted training and education opportunities including rate training, Professional Military Education (PME), advanced education initiatives, professional certifications, etc. A Learning and Development Roadmap is just what the name implies - a roadmap through the Enlisted Learning and Development Continuum by which Sailors professional development is guided.

In short, use this to guide you & your Sailors on what to review / study (this is NOT a Bibliography), what course or job to do while on that certain path (rating). This will also be useful for strikers or Sailors trying to convert to that rating. If you login to NKO and then hit this link, it should get you straight to the site. Unfortunately not all ratings are yet available (particularly Aviation and most Admin).

Shipmate, DID YOU KNOW THAT…Shipmate, DID YOU KNOW THAT…What’s

New

The Chief of Naval Personnel (CNP) released an update in NAVADMIN 236/09 on permanent change of station (PCS) orders indicating that some Sailors set to move in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 (FY10) will receive their orders after Oct. 1.

The recent supplemental funding from Congress allowed Navy Personnel Command (NPC) to resume normal order writing for the fourth quarter this fiscal year. This followed a temporary hold initiated in April.

Although funds were restored for those receiving orders through September, the majority of PRDs that were shifted to FY10 will remain adjusted.

Current funding levels support all identified fourth quarter FY09 moves. However, a PCS obligation policy change that went into effect earlier this year means that PCS funds must be obligated when orders are released, instead of when the Sailor detaches. The result is that some of the FY10 orders cannot be released until the new fiscal year.

Some Sailors May Experience Compressed PCS Timelines this Fall

236/09 FY09 PCS CLOSE-OUTFROM THE FLEET FORCE, ON OVERSEAS SCREENING

• As has been stated in the past, properly screening our Sailors for overseas duty is extremely important and one that every CMC/COB/CSC should be personally engaged in. As an aircraft carrier CMC, I reviewed and signed everyone as well as personally interviewed each Sailor. We have been stating that accountability for failure to screen properly was going to start in the future as there have been great losses in PCS dollars due to failure to comply with the screening process. When this occurs it affects the opportunity for other Sailors to execute orders. Attached you will see a sample message that will be sent to the transferring command when this occurs in the future. The first message has been sent to a command who will now have to justify their actions, or lack of action. I would expect that if this can not be fixed by growing awareness and proper execution of the policy, the next step may be to hold the transferring command financially responsible to capture the improperly executed PCS funding.

• I am seeking your assistance and leadership to ensure we are out in front of this. This can turn into a very embarrassing situation for a Commanding Officer and each of us if on the receiving end of one of these messages. My hope is that we never have to send another message like this again and I know that with the engagement of our CMC's, COB's, and CSC's that we will make this problem go away. Thank you for your support and engagement as we work to maximize our resources to support all of you! Have a Great Navy Day! -FLTCM(AW/SW/SCW) Scott A.

Transfer GI Bill BEFORE you Go

*** To preserve your right to transfer benefits from one dependent to another after your retirement, you MUST transfer at least one (1) month of benefits to EACH dependent BEFORE you leave active duty. ***

Reference (article): http://www.defenselink.mil//news/newsarticle.aspx?id=55232

Reference (instruction): OSD(P&R) Directive-Type Memorandum (DTM) 09-003: "Post-9/11 GI Bill [See "page 17 of 29" (Paragraph 3.g.(2).(a).)] "3.g. Time for Transfer, Revocation, and Modification]

Link: http://www.defenselink.mil/home/features/2009/0409_gibill/DTM%2009-003%20Post%209-11%20GI%20Bill.pdf

Special thanks to CAPT Bill Greene of Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and CDR Francis Spencer of Navy Personnel Command.

Example (BAD):- You have 3 children (Alpha, Bravo, & Charlie) and a dependent spouse (Omega).- Using the Transfer of Education Benefits (TEB) website, you designate Alpha to receive all 36 months of your

benefits.- Using TEB, you designate Bravo, Charlie, and Omega to receive zero benefits.- You retire.- After your retirement, Alpha (for whatever reason) either doesn't use the benefits, or doesn't use all of them....RESULT: Your remaining benefits CANNOT be transferred to Bravo, Charlie, or Omega! (Ouch! ... Omega will NOT be

amused!)

Example (GOOD):- While still on active duty, using TEB, you transfer benefits as follows:

- 33 months to Alpha- 1 month each to Bravo, Charlie, and Omega.

- You retire.- After your retirement, Alpha decides to attend the Naval Academy, and therefore won't need to use the benefits....RESULT: You MAY transfer Alpha's unused benefits to any of your other family members, because they WERE

designated beneficiaries before you left active duty! (Omega will be pleased!)

OBLISERVE EXTENSION MATRIX FOR POST-911 GI BILLOBLISERVE EXTENSION MATRIX FOR POST-911 GI BILLYears of service, for the purposes of this chart, is the difference in years between ADSD and EAOS as extended/soft EAOS (SEAOS). Example: ADSD = Mar 15 1997; EAOS = Apr 20 2010; SEAOS = Apr 20, 2011This is

an over 14year Sailor This program does not allow a Sailor to remain on active duty if otherwise not eligible or recommended for retention. Any extension for the purpose of obtaining OBLISERV for this program requires NPC-81 approval. Long term extensions (over 23 months) are not allowed for this program. Extensions are not allowed when a Reenlistment can satisfy OBLISERV requirement.

After an extension is executed for this program, an additional short term extension for this program will not be approved. Requests are to be submitted to NPC-81 no earlier than 60 days of anticipated enrollment date.

Required OBLISERV is calculated from enrollment month. A Sailor shall not OBLISERV under or over the required amount which is 4 years unless limited by Navy policy. In cases where a Sailor is within 24 months of EAOS, and a short term extension will need to be executed in addition to the reenlist to obtain necessary OBLISERV, the Sailor can opt to perform just the short term extension and meet OBLISERV without reenlisting.

An E5 Sailor with an EAOS as extended is over 12 years and is denied a short term extension to HYT because the Sailor is in an overmanned rating zone (NAVADMIN 007/09), is eligible for this program without any additional OBLISERV. Sailors who are not able to OBLISERV for 4 years upon enrollment due to Navy policy, then become eligible (ie, due to paygrade advancement), must complete the 4 year obligation or the VA will be reimbursed for Any entitlements used.
