SAILOR CAREER TOOLBOX The Sailor Career Toolbox identifies eleven online applications that Sailors need to know:
1. Navy E-Learning (NEL) Delivers computer-based learning, designed to enhance professional and
personal growth. Courses may be completed in the connected environment (provided by the internet) or in the disconnected environment (provided by the shipboard NIAPS server). For more information, log in to NEL via Navy Knowledge Online (NKO) at https://www.nko.navy.mil.
2. Navy Credentialing Opportunities Online (Navy COOL)Navy COOL provides the ability to accomplish the following:
Get information about civilian licensure and certification. Learn how to fill gaps between Navy training and experience and civilian
credentialing requirements. Discover resources that help gain civilian job credentials. Identify resources to fund credentialing exams, such as the Navy-funded
credentialing program, GI Bill, and DANTES. For more information, log in to Navy COOL at https://www.cool.navy.mil.
3. United Services Military Apprenticeship Program (USMAP) USMAP is free, requires no off-duty hours and can use military experience
to grant up to one-half of required on-the-job training. For example, Airframe Mechanic.
Upon completion of the program, you become a registered apprentice with the U.S. Department of Labor. For more information, log in to USMAP at https://usmap.cnet.navy.mil.
4. Sailor/Marine American Council on Education Registry Transcript (SMART) Documents college courses, degrees and certifications completed on
active duty through Tuition Assistance or the Navy College Program for Afloat College Education (NCPACE), and all other college courses completed at institutions accredited by a regional, national or professional accrediting agency recommended by the U.S. Department of Education.
2
Provides recommended college credit for military occupational experience and training.
Recommendations are made by the American Council on Education (ACE). For more information, log in to SMART at https://smart.navy.mil.
5. Sailor/Marine Online Academic Advisor (SMOLAA) Online tool that works in conjunction with SMART to help explore options
for earning a college degree. For more information, log in to SMART at https://smart.navy.mil. On the Welcome page, click Degree Shop / SMOLAA.
6. Electronic Service Record (ESR) Online version of the service record; replaces the paper service record
used in the past. For more information, log in to ESR via Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) at https://nsips.nmci.navy.mil.
7. Electronic Training Jacket (ETJ) Provides a view of career information documented in Navy personnel
databases, such as training and education (including Navy E-Learning, NECs and college courses), qualifications and certifications, career history, advancement status, and awards. For more information, log in to ETJ via Navy Knowledge Online (NKO) at https://www.nko.navy.mil.
8. Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) and OMPF-My Record Consists of documents that reflect fitness for service, performance of
duties, and entitlements. OMPF - My Record (previously known as Web Enabled Record Review (WERR)) provides the ability to download and print service record documents for personal and professional use. These are the same documents reviewed by selection board members when considering candidates for advancement and special programs.For more information, log in to BUPERS OnLine (BOL) at https://www.bol.navy.mil.
9. Physical Readiness Information Management System (PRIMS) Allows viewing of current and historical results of Sailors’ semi-annual
Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA). For more information, log in to BUPERS OnLine (BOL) at https://www.bol.navy.mil.10. Navy Awards
3
Previously known as Navy Department Awards Web Service (NDAWS). The U.S. Navy Awards web site provides online access to Navy awards information and help. For more info, log in to U.S. Navy Awards at https://awards.navy.mil.
11. Career Management System/Interactive Detailing (CMS/ID) Provides the ability to explore Navy job opportunities, identify career-
enhancing jobs that meet professional and personal goals, identify specific skills and abilities required to perform the jobs desired, and submit job applications. For more information, log in to CMS/ID at https://www.cmsid.navy.mil.
PTS/FLEET RIDE UPDATECVNs have experienced a backlog of Perform To Serve (PTS) applications to be submitted stemming from insufficient bandwidth and cumbersome software application requirements. PERS acknowledged problems, which will continue to be addressed in a collaborative effort. Unanticipated data migration problem caused unnecessary review of previously approved personnel. This was a one-time anomaly and should not occur again. Late release of NAVADMIN 352/10 compounded the problems; however, it’s available now and should be understood at all levels of the chain of command as the new ROE for PTS.
1. NAVADMIN 352/10 FR/PTS Highlights: Submit all E1-E6 Sailors with less than 14 years as early as 15 months,
but no later than 12 months prior to SEAOS. Special circumstances submitted regardless of EAOS, based on PRD,
OBLISERV for orders, SRB, etc. CO, XO and CMDCM will have access to command PTS reports in the
integrated PTS/Fleet Ride application. Reports show rack and stack results and access to all command notification letters.
Once OBLISERV is incurred for an approved PTS application, or a period of 13 months passes since the quota was issued, the PTS quota is considered expired and no longer valid. Once the quota is expired, the Sailor will have to reapply.
PTS quotas issued prior to 01 Oct 2009 are considered valid until 01 Mar 2011. Anything before that will need approval from the ECM.
There is an entire page of when PTS approval is not necessary for extensions based on MPM, NAVADMINS etc. Please review carefully.
Algorithm update: Applicants will only be compared against other Sailors in the same year group (used to be by zones) and a cumulative average of the last 5 evals to include frocking, transfer, etc. are assigned to the promotion recommendation. NOB evals must be included but will not be factored into the Algorithm. The number of failures in the previous four years is now a factor. CNAP POC is NCCM Linda Maclean ([email protected]), Ph: (619) 545-1373.

PAY/PERSONNEL UPDATEA combined Pay and Personnel Services Delivery Symposium was held 25-28 Oct 2010 in Millington. Pay and personnel business process end-to-end ownership is now directed by Undersecretary of the Navy, Robert O. Work, due to a recognized fragmented organization and management of Navy Pay/Pers policy, process and execution across multiple entities. CNIC has executed the last of the planned EPA reductions of ~ 2115 billets (~500 billets per year) from 2008-2011 and has purchased 205 PS endstrength in POM-12 for O-CONUS PASS and optimal manning reversals. Transformation and delivery of system capability is acknowledged to be KEY prior to any future personnel cuts. Specifically, the DoD System Defense Integrated Military Human Resources System (DIHMRS) is an unfunded program and the Navy’s pay and personnel Information Technology system (IT) initially designed to replace DIHMRS. The Future Pay and Personnel System (FPPS) is now funded only to better design requirements before pursuing an IT solution and is essentially a killed program. Lastly, as E-Leave is now mandated ashore, there is a desire to roll-out this capability afloat. NSIPS Web Afloat accounts must be established unique to each platform. NSIPS web accounts established in boot camp will not work when creating the Chain of Command/UIC tree required to approve E-Leave afloat. Requisite PEO-EIS installed NSIPS software version 1.2.19 is needed onboard each CVN in order to begin E-Leave afloat. CNAP is working with USFF to release an NSIPS E-Leave afloat roll-out message. CNAP POC is CDR Cathy Kimmel ([email protected]), Ph: 619-545-1368.
DAPA/UPC NOTES
5
FOUR LOKO Four Loko is a binge-drinker’s dream because the caffeine and other stimulants allow a drinker to ingest larger volumes of alcohol without passing out. The four main ingredients are caffeine, taurine, guarana and alcohol. Each 23.5 oz can cost about $2.50, contains 2.82 ounces of alcohol, or 12 percent. A person will have to drink almost six cans of Bud Light beer, or 67.2 ounces to get the same amount of alcohol. The brand’s nine flavors — ranging from cranberry lemonade to watermelon — often contain more than 60 grams of sugar and around 660 calories. Users of Four Loko have been hospitalized with alcohol poisoning. The drink became popular with young drinkers over the past decade due to the mixture staving off the sleepiness usually attributed to drinking alcoholic beverages. Sailors need to be aware of the danger of this beverage.
SALTS (BATHSALTS)Salt is a new alternative drug packaged and marketed as bath salts. The label on the clear plastic jar reads: “Concentrated Bath Salts, for an invigorating, energizing, and truly sensual experience.” The package states not for human consumption. The substances which comprise “SALT” are currently unknown. It is believed that the drug methylhexaneamine (AKA dimethylhexaneamine or DMAA) might possibly be utilized in the chemical makeup. DMAA is frequently marketed online as a legal substitute for cocaine.
NFAAS UPDATE NAVADMIN 255/10 (DTG 41742Z AUG 10) outlines the objectives for influenza vaccination. CNAF is currently 98% Influenza compliant as of 20 Dec 2010. Commands or service members that have received the influenza vaccination need to contact their NFAAS Commanding Officer Representative (COR) to update the database.
For additional information, contact the following POCs:
COMNAVAIRPAC POC: ATC(AW) Jeffrey Burke (619) 545-1370
COMNAVAIRLANT POC: LSCM(SW/AW) Ric Garcia (619) 545-8634 [email protected]
IAMM UPDATENew Business Rules for IAMM, Per NAVADMIN’s 332/333/334/10, include:
Sailors will be exempt from a second IA tour for a three-year period upon successful completion of any IA tour.
6
Sailors must have an end of active obligated service (EAOS) at least 90 days beyond the estimated return from the IA.
Sailors determined to be high-year tenure may volunteer for IA orders provided that a minimum of four months transition exists between return and mandatory separation date.
Sailors who have submitted and have been approved for retirement may volunteer for IA orders provided that a minimum of four months transition exists between return and retirement date.
Sailors must be E-3 or above at the time of administrative screening.
One of the CNO’s goals is to reduce the number of “non-core” individual augmentations in the Middle East. Specifically, the enlisted IA requirements received as “Any” will be reverted back to being a specific skill set requirement.
GSA UPDATEGSA or (Global War on Terrorism Support Assignments) for enlisted personnel has now been replaced by OSA or (Overseas Contingency Operations Support Assignments). The goal of this change is to minimize the impact of IAs on fleet readiness, remove complexity and improve family readiness. Here are a few of the OSA changes taking place:
No more PCS moves. Sailors who volunteer for an OSA will receive TEMADD orders. Upon completion of the OSA, Sailors will return to their current commands
for post-deployment screening, leave and subsequent transfer to their next duty assignment.
There will be no more purple/GSA type billets on CMS/ID. Sailors interested in applying for OSA billets will have to change their
preferences in CMS (this is done on the Special Programs section on the Duty preference tab). Anyone interested in applying for an OSA billet must have PTS approval and at least 13 months remaining until their EAOS.
COMMAND IA COORDINATOR (CIAC). As of 29 Sep 2010, the PTS system has merged with Fleet Rating Identification Engine (RIDE). Command Career Counselors and CIACs should meet with IA Sailors and hold a Career Development Board prior to deployment. CIACs should be the conduit for Sailor career information as it relates to PTS to avoid unnecessary churn for returning IA Sailors who may face separation due to inadequate or lack of PTS actions. CIACs should ask the IA Sailor, “Do you have PTS approval in your current zone? Will you need a PTS application during the IA assignment?” See NAVADMIN 352/10 for new PTS/Fleet RIDE integration, policy, procedures and points of contact.

POM-13 UPDATEFleet is taking a strategic pause in regards to POM-13. USFFC will promulgate a strategy and a defined way ahead.
N121 Shore Installations/ CVNsAMDs. Viewing an organization’s Activity Manpower Document (AMD) can be done via the Total Micro Manpower Change Application (TMMCA) program. If a command does not have access to the TMMCA program, it can easily be accomplished by downloading the program from the BUPERS website. Once the program has been installed, contact the CNAF N121 POCs for assistance. TMMCA updates are conducted every last week of each month.
SMRD Schedule. The latest Shore Manpower Requirement Study (SMRD) schedule was sent out to all commands last October. If a command has not received a copy, please contact the N121 POCs for assistance.
CVN CAPSTONE/C5I Systems Upgrade. All CVNs going through RCOH or DPIA will be receiving the new CVN CAPSTONE/C5I Systems upgrade. Over 134 NEC changes are associated with this new state of the art systems upgrade. The latest CVNs to receive the upgrade were CVN 75 and CVN 71, the next CVN to receive the upgrade will be CVN 68.
N122 CVW/SquadronsAMD Change Requests. Per COMNAVAIRFORINST 1000.6, CNAF has a set amount of Military Payroll Navy (MPN) that equates to billet authorizations. To the maximum extent practicable, AMD change requests involving billet authorizations must include direct compensation in the request, either from withinthe requesting activity or from within the Type Wing. Once a comprehensive review of available assets and operational requirements have been conducted and a determination made that the request warrants submission without compensation, the Type Wing can forward the request to CNAF N12 as an unfunded requirement (UFR). UFR requests must include a strong justification and statement of operational impact. CNAF N12 will weigh these requests against competing priorities and either reallocate the end-strength from within
8
CNAF’s claimancy or hold for submission as UFR in the Program Objective Memorandum (POM) process. UFRs submitted via POM will only receive funding if the requirement is of the highest operational necessity and will not be available for two years. It is critical to submit UFRs for approval far in advance to ensure authorizations are in place to meet operational requirements.
N123 Commercial Services ManagementFRS/VX Admin Contractor Support. All administrative support requirements, including Operations Admin and Central Technical Publications Librarian (CTPL) duties, are now supported by contract. Technical Assistants (TAs) at each squadron, appointed by the Commanding Officer, have been briefed on contractor support requirements under a performance-based environment and should be aware of contract requirements and do's and don’ts with regard to contractor performance and situations that warrant overtime support by contractor personnel.Bi-weekly Conference Calls. Bi-weekly coordination meetings are held on Tuesdays at 1100 PST with all Squadron and Wing personnel involved in contractor support of line maintenance, plane captain duties, tool room control, and administration support. The meeting is chaired by N123 and N422 and has proven to be an excellent forum for keeping everyone abreast of current issues facing TAs and Project Managers and resolution of contractor performance questions.

RESERVE BAH UPDATE Back to Back Orders Reference: JFTR, Vol. 1, Chapter 10, U10428 A. Active Duty Tour begins 06 Jan 2006 or later. An RC member called/ordered to active duty for 30 or fewer days is authorized the RC rate (BAH-RC), except for contingency operations as provided in par. U10428- B. Effective 06 Jan 2006, a member called/ordered to active duty for more than 30 days, except a member without-dependent during initial entry training, is authorized BAH/OHA. An RC member initially on a tour of 30 or fewer days who receives an order modification or assignment extension with a prospective (new) active duty period of more than 30 days, receives BAH/OHA on the modification date. Do not add periods of active duty previously served to obtain the more than 30-day requirement (Tables U10E-16 and U10E-17 and par. U10428-D). What does this mean? When two sets of orders are issued, they are considered separate periods of active duty and cannot be combined to meet the 30-day requirement.
RESERVE ENLISTED AND OFFICER RECRUITING BONUSThe most recent recruiting incentive messages, NAVADMIN 294/10 for enlisted and NAVADMIN 322/10 for officers, have been released. The messages outline
11
the basic qualifications for affiliation and accession incentives for new SELRES members.
For enlisted, bonuses of up to $20,000 are available for qualifying skills. For officers, lump sum bonuses of up to $10,000 are available for qualifying designators.
