LT Operational Detailing Business Rules

Business rules have been developed and published in an effort to create a fair and transparent detailing landscape that evenly maximizes opportunities.  
 

• Generally speaking, billets are first come, first served.
• If a billet is not on the billet list, it is not available at the time of advertisement.  However, the billet list is dynamic.  Please check frequently for updates as billets do become available/unavailable often.  
• The most up to date billet list is available on MyNavyHR and ESUPPO app and updated frequently. 
• CONUS negotiation window = 8 months from PRD OCONUS negotiation window = 10 months from PRD
• You will become a “needs of the Navy” detail 3 months prior to your PRD.
• Even after a ship and homeport are negotiated, there is always a possibility of a shift based on operational needs.  This could result in a shift in platform, homeport, or both. We will do our best to communicate with you should this circumstance arise.
• If unmet operational need continues, you could be shifted to one of these billets. 
• We do not detail by proxy.  That is, we do not detail you based off conversations or interventions by your mentors.  You must directly discuss your next detail with your detailer. 
• Billets that require reliefs prior to your PRD must be filled before we will entertain any negotiations for billets that need a fill past your PRD.
• If you have redesignated or laterally transferred into the Supply Corps, you can expect to complete back to back operational tours.  
• The Detailing Triad applies.  Needs of the Navy, Career Needs, and Personal Desires. 

Two operational tours are a career milestone before zoning for LCDR. If you have yet to complete a department head (DH) tour or overseas tour in your officer career, you can expect to negotiate for one or both of these opportunities if they are available or the operational need exists.  Serving in a DH role is critical to leadership development and geographic diversity promotes a warfighting first mentality while strengthening our global adaptability as Supply Corps Officers.

OP will not waive the second operational tour requirement.  

Educational Opportunities

A Master's degree is critical as you approach promotion to CDR.  There are many programs offered and all have distinct benefits that will pay dividends professionally.
