Greetings from Millington, TN! CDR detailing is conducted on a CY basis and CAPT (sel) Krysten Ellis (P1) is the lead detailer. Following the CDR Milestone Board and Milestone slating in June/early July, preferences will be requested from CDRs/CDR (sel)/LCDR zoner rollers for the cycle. Once the preference window closes (Jul), P1 and P1A, CDR Matt Wall, generate slates and forward to commands for review and feedback. Upon slate finalization, daisy chains are developed and socialized with all impacted officers and commands (Aug-Sep). Detachment dates, arrival dates, and any schools or I-Stops are negotiated among the stakeholders (Sep-Oct). Upon daisy chain finalization, orders are drafted and routed (Sep-Nov). Orders release is contingent on NPC’s orders release posture and funding availability.
DEFINE YOUR PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL GOALS.
Generally, most Commanders will have two duty assignments before screening for Captain. As such, it is important to assess your future desires and pursue those jobs that are consistent with your goals ... be transparent and honest with yourself and with me about your goals, to include assignment priorities, retirement, etc. Ensure you consider and discuss with your family the disciplined detailing precepts as articulated during the OP Road Shows - Mobility, Deployability, and Serve-to-PRD. These are presumptions and expectations which need to be part of your next-tour decision making process.
PROMOTION.
If your goal is to promote to Captain, then request an assignment that improves your promotion potential by building on your previous assignments and acquired skill-sets. Future value to the Navy is a major factor in selection to Captain. Commander operational and command tours, demanding and visible jobs, and recognition as an expert in your field enhance your competitiveness for Captain. Sustained superior performance in a mixture of operational assignments, direct Fleet support and policy tours, and overseas and joint duty tours--throughout your career--will enhance your board competitiveness.
OVERSEAS.
With 12% of Supply Corps 3100 billets located overseas, it is reasonable to assume Supply Corps Officers will have at least one overseas tour during a career. Although overseas tours may, at times, present challenges with respect to cultural differences, school age children, and spouse employment, these tours are most often professionally and personally rewarding.
DETAILING SEQUENCE AND APPROVAL PROCESS.
In general, the chronological order of detailing cycle priorities are (1) O-5 Operational/Command Ashore Slate; (2) Overseas/Joint; (3) Specialty skill-sets; and (4) CONUS. My commitment to you is to maintain open lines of communication with you, so you know how your detail is proceeding. GSAs, when there is a requirement, will always remain the top priority.
Of note:
Effective communication is critical to the detailing process. PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR CURRENT E-MAIL (WORK AND ALTERNATE) AND DAYTIME TELEPHONE NUMBER to the O5 detailing team via email. If you are in the process of transitioning to your next command, please include the contact email/phone number for the new command.
As always, please keep us informed so we can better serve you. Please feel free to call or e-mail if you have any questions. Our front office number is (901) 874-4611, DSN prefix 882. I look forward to working with you to achieve the best possible detail.
