This NAVADMIN cancels references (a) through (c) and announces two fundamental changes in the Career Management System-Interactive Detailing (CMS-ID) timeline. The order negotiation window will start 12 months before projected rotation date (PRD), vice 9, so Sailors can begin negotiating orders sooner, and the application cycle will be every 2-months, vice monthly. This will increase the number of advertised jobs each Sailor may apply for during a given cycle. To support this new timeline, Career Waypoints-Reenlistment (C-WAY-REEN) applications will start 16 months before PRD. This correction clarifies the CMS-ID negotiation cycle timing in paragraph 3. 2. The Manning Control Authorities (MCA) identify jobs to advertise/fill in order to optimize Fleet manning. These are the only jobs available for detailing, and they are must fills in order to support operational readiness. Detailers will attempt to find a match using the desired selections of the Sailor first. However, Fleet readiness will ultimately be the guiding factor and detailers may have to select Sailors who have not applied for an assignment or are early in their orders negotiation window, if they are the best fit. In order to maximize opportunity to find win-win assignments, changes to the CMS-ID orders negotiation window and cycle will: a. Increase the number of advertised jobs Sailors can apply for, providing Sailors with greater choice and variety. b. Provide greater time for Sailors and their families to prepare for PCS transfer. c. Increase the number of Sailors applying for jobs, including personnel in special distribution categories, such as dual military couples and Sailors with exceptional family members, to ensure equitable distribution and career management opportunities for all Sailors. d. Enhance enlisted assignments by giving detailers more time to match the skill sets of the Sailor with job requirements to fill the jobs that are advertised. 3. Implementation timeline. The 2-month CMS-ID cycle will begin in October 2017 and personnel with PRDs of October 2017 through June 2018 will be in their final negotiation cycle. Personnel with PRDs of July 2018 and August 2018 will be in the second negotiation cycle, and September 2018 and October 2018 PRDs will be in the first negotiation cycle. A new CMS-ID cycle calendar for the 2-month cycle is available on the CMS-ID homepage at https://www.cmsid.navy.mil/. As a reminder, Sailors entering their CMS-ID orders negotiation window should submit five applications for advertised jobs to ensure their desires are taken into account. Detailers may write orders directing the detachment or transfer of Sailors up to 6 months prior to their PRD, or as late as 6 months after their PRD, in order to fill anticipated Fleet vacancies on-time, with a fully trained and qualified relief. Sailors can provide input during the negotiation process on CMS-ID via e-mail, or phone, to their detailer. Input via the Command Career Counselor on the behalf of the Sailor is also acceptable. Sailors can request to extend their PRD in line with reference (d) by submitting NAVPERS 1306/7 (Enlisted Personnel Action Request) via their Commanding Officer to Commander, Navy Personnel Command (NPC), Enlisted Career Management Division (PERS-40) between 12 to 15 months prior to their PRD. 4. Beginning October 2017, C-WAY-REEN application processing timelines will also be adjusted to better align with the new CMS-ID window. Soft end of active obligated service (SEAOS) and PRD applications will pre-populate at 18 months vice 15 months. SEAOS-based reenlistment applications may be submitted 16 months prior to SEAOS vice 13 months, and PRD-based applications may be submitted 15 months prior to PRD vice 12 months. Sailors with a SEAOS between April 2018 and January 2019 will be reset to ensure four in-rate and four conversion applications. Sailors with a PRD between August 2018 and December 2018 will be reset to ensure three PRD applications. Reference (e) will be updated to reflect these changes, and all other policies contained therein remain in effect. A new C-WAY calendar is posted on the C-WAY homepage at http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers- npc/career/careercounseling/Pages/C-WAY.aspx. 5. The continued success in detailing Sailors is contingent upon active leadership involvement at all levels, including proactive communication of these changes, thorough Career Development Boards, and detailed command management of C-WAY-REEN applications and CMS-ID using the Enlisted Distribution and Verification Process. 6. Supplemental guidance is available via the NPC website. Questions concerning this NAVADMIN should be referred to the NPC Customer Service Center at 1-(866)-U-ASK-NPC/(866)827-5672, or via e-mail at cscmailbox(at)navy.mil. 7. Released by Vice Admiral R. P.
