*** PTS Updated: PRD Process *** Perform To Serve continues to evolve and change, please read this new PTS NAVADMIN attachment. To gist this new NAVADMIN 021/13: 1. PRD PTS is now fully enforced. Special Circumstances (SC) PTS is the new category to distinguished from the regular EAOS PTS. Sailors must submit a PTS application 12-15 months prior to their PRD. 2. A monthly Denied Letter will no longer be sent to the member but will continue to be monitored and pass to the member. 3. Detailer can waive the PRD-PTS requirement if there is enough EAOS to complete the next tour. One thing has not changed but NEEDS to be reinforced: Career Development Board (involvement of all Sailor's Chain of Command) that must be held 15-12 month prior to PRD/SEAOS so that no "grey area' is left. PTS is not a 1 time process - it is at least 6 monthly applications to compete with others to Stay Navy. To reemphasize the previous PTS NAVADMIN / numerous instructions & importance of everyone's involvement in helping out career counselors and Sailors: 1. Conduct a CDB - 3 at a minimum during PTS cycle:

- Initial application (12 month prior to PRD/EAOS) - 3rd or 4th Denial (8th month) - 5th or 6th Denial (6th month)

•Always use FLEET RIDE & CIMS CDB Profile to direct member on their career choices. 2. On conversion option: there are very limited choices or rating and it changes every day, so do not impose conversion until member is qualified and ECM contacted prior. 3. Member must submit & document PTS application via FleetRIDE/CCC EVERY MONTH until it is APPROVE

- Member must sit down with CCC between the 15th-30th of every month application is open - CCC & Sailors only have less than 15 days to apply for PTS. - CCC & Sailors CANNOT apply between the first 2 weeks of every month -Update major career progression / changes (PRT, Advancement, Eval, Security Clearance)

4. CCC / LCPO must communicate with individual Enlisted Community Manager and Detailer - Prior to applying for conversion of the next rate. -Must communicate with current detailer wrt PTS requirement. Some detailer may just need a reminder that their PTS application is for PRD purposes only and may waive the application. -Some may think that this either further improves &/or complicates the PTS process & screening of member - so career counselors will need everyone's help and support.

To be eligible one month must have elapsed from the last exam, test can only be administered at PSD’s, or on ships with testing authority and sailors must have furthered their educational and professional development since the last time the exam was taken. Most importantly the most recent test score will be recorded even if the retest score is lower. Questions can be answered at (703) 695-1357 (DSN 225) or Email: AFCTHelpdesk@navy.mil.
