 - Navy Counselor Updates -

Due to lack of NC conversions, our roller inventory has significantly decreased, and billets need to be filled, especially OVERSEAS. Therefore, VSDPs are currently being considered for the NC1 paygrade PRIOR to entering their negotiating window.

*** Update on Sea Duty Incentive Pay (SDIP) : Due to tremendous gaps at Sea, SDIP-E (Extension) will only be entertained for 12 months. SDIP-B (Back to Back) will only be entertained for a DIFFERENT Sea tour, NOT retour of current Command. ***

Convertees to the Navy Counselor Rating need to understand “initial assignment” is based upon requisition priorities and therefore all current Convertees can expect their 1st NC Tour to be a FULL Sea Tour regardless of current tour of duty. // Convertees are not eligible for SDIP-B if coming off a current Sea Tour due to SDIP eligibility stipulations.

In accordance with NAVADMIN 274/19 and current Sea Shore Flow Tour Lengths/ Notes, Navy Career Counselors transition to the NC community after completing at least one sea tour in their initial community. Sailors can expect sea tour lengths of up to 42 months (Sea Tour 3).
 
 - Legalman Updates -
In accordance with the Legalman Enlisted Career Path, the LN rating is a CONUS/OCONUS rating. Therefore OCONUS Staff (not embarked on a Flagship), RLSO, DSO, OSTC billets are considered sea duty for Sea/Shore Rotation purposes including Hawaii.

Updates to PST/NST will not be approved for any Legalman on their current tour and for orders prior to November 2024 with the exception for Sea Duty Tours. OTEIP requests will be recommended for approval for OCONUS Staff tours if desired to extend Overseas.
 
 PROJECT COMPASS

Project Compass is the Navy’s first data-driven billet recommendation engine, developed by PERS-4 to improve the billet application experience and complement assignment process for enlisted Sailors.

Project Compass analyzes each Sailor’s qualifications, experience, preferences from MyNavy Assignment (MNA), and other factors to determine billet matches that align with their background and career goals to bring a smarter, more personalized approach to the detailing pipeline.

This "pre-cycle" billet opportunity visibility allows Sailors to get a head-start on education of potential opportunities in the application process.
