REF B IS NAVADMIN 313/18, PROFESSIONAL MILITARY KNOWLEDGE ELIGIBILITY EXAM BUSINESS RULES. REF C IS NAVADMIN 312/18, ADVANCEMENT POLICY UPDATE.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces the deployment and pilot of the Enlisted Advancement Worksheet (EAW) within the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS). This modification aligns with Sailor 2025 transformation efforts to deploy modernized systems and applications that better support Sailors personnel and career progression requirements. EAW transitions the manual paper advancement worksheet to an automated process that leverages authoritative data and displays advancement eligibility factors for all E-4 through E-7 candidates. Most importantly, this pay and personnel modernization effort gives Sailors better control over their EAW and provides commands with a more efficient way to validate Navy enlisted advancement system (NEAS) requirements. a. Commands with access to the NSIPS web are directed to set up their command EAW hierarchy by 15 January 2019 in preparation for the January through March 2019 pilot followed by the full EAW implementation in June 2019. The NSIPS web-afloat implementation timeline is dependent on the ship modernization process and availability of afloat units to receive and deploy the release package. b. Training modules for EAW are posted on the NSIPS main page beneath the training section. These tutorials include topics associated with user roles and detailed procedures to perform various EAW tasks. c. Individual access to EAW and post-exam administrative comments will be made available through the MyNavy Portal (MNP) advancement dashboard in 2019 as MNP enhancements are released. 2. Enlisted Advancement Policy Changes. EAW enhancements will have a significant impact to NEAS processes and policies as outlined in reference (a). The following NEAS changes will be implemented on 3 June 2019: a. The current paper worksheet will be replaced by an updated worksheet form within EAW. The electronic form will automatically populate with Sailor final multiple score and eligibility data from NSIPS. Sailors will have the ability to view EAW several months prior to exam administration, providing additional time for validation and corrections (if needed). b. There will no longer be a requirement to enter Performance Mark Average (PMA) and award points on the Exam Answer Sheet of the Sailor during the exam administration. PMA and award points of the Sailor will be system calculated and transferred from EAW to NEAS along with other EAW information. c. Worksheet data cannot be modified after the EAW file is transferred to NEAS, which will be the day after each exam date for the Active duty component and the day after the exam month for the Reserve component. d. When communicating with Commander, Navy Personnel Command (COMNAVPERSCOM), Commander, Navy Reserve Forces Command (COMNAVRESFORCOM) or Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC), post-exam administrative discrepancy adjudication must be accomplished within EAW using the post-exam administrative comments functionality. Commands will no longer use e-mail, messages or letters (via mail or fax) to correct Sailor information in NEAS. All post-exam administrative advancement cycle communication will be visible to the Sailor, servicing educational services officer (ESO)/personnel office, the command and NEAS stakeholders. e. All post-administration candidate record changes in NEAS must be accompanied by supporting documentation uploaded to EAW. f. In line with references (b) and (c), EAW functionality will be updated prior to the release of advancement cycles 105 and 244 worksheets to capture the Professional Military Knowledge Eligibility Exam (PMK-EE) requirement and updates to advancement policy. 3. EAW Timeline: a. 18 November 2018: EAW deployed in NSIPS. b. 14 January 2019: All commands with access to NSIPS web must establish EAW accounts in NSIPS. Refer to http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers- npc/career/enlistedcareeradmin/Advancement/Pages/EAW.aspx regarding account access and roles. c. January 2019: Begin EAW pilot (January through March), worksheets are released to ESOs for Reserve advancement cycle 104 and Active Duty advancement cycle 243. d. 3 June 2019: E-4 through E-6 Worksheets are released to ESOs for Reserve advancement cycle 105 and Active Duty advancement cycle 244. e. 3 September 2019: E-7 advancement candidate worksheets are released to ESOs for Active Duty cycle 246. f. 3 September 2019: E-4 through E-6 Reserve component cycle 105 EAW file sent to NEAS. g. 6 September 2019: Active Duty, Full-Time Support (FTS) and Canvasser Recruiter (CANREC) E-6 cycle 244 EAW file sent to NEAS. h. 13 September 2019: Active Duty, FTS and CANREC E-5 cycle 244 EAW file sent to NEAS. i. 20 September 2019: Active Duty, FTS and CANREC E-4 cycle 244 EAW file sent to NEAS. 4. EAW Pilot. A pilot will be conducted for advancement cycles 104 and 243. The purpose of the pilot is to validate that the automated solution meets the expectation of the User business needs. Feedback from the pilot will be used to assess if capability is ready for future exam cycles. To prepare, commanding officers will verify that all Sailors have access to EAW and their ESO and command representatives have system access and the correct roles within NSIPS to execute an advancement cycle using EAW. During the pilot, the electronic form in NSIPS can be printed and used for the manual worksheet validation process. No data will be transferred from EAW to NEAS and no discrepancies will be adjudicated in EAW during the pilot phase. a. EAW pilot feedback must be provided by 1 April 2019. An online tool will be developed and promulgated at (http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers- npc/career/enlistedcareeradmin/Advancement/Pages/EAW.aspx) to capture EAW pilot feedback prior to exam administrations. b. The EAW pilot phase will not include an automated capability to calculate PMA with the reporting senior cumulative average (RSCA) in line with reference (c). c. EAW programming will be updated prior to release of the cycles 105 and 244 worksheets. Updated EAW programming will include RSCA PMA calculations, the PMK-EE eligibility check and an updated worksheet form. 5. Account Access and Roles. For account access, initiate the System Access Authorization Request-Navy process for EAW from the NSIPS menu, New Users link. There are 6 EAW administrator roles for additional information please visit http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers- npc/career/enlistedcareeradmin/Advancement/Pages/EAW.aspx. 6. EAW Routing. Each Sailor participating in an advancement cycle will have an ESO responsible for worksheet processing. The majority of worksheets will be routed from a regional or afloat ESO to a command ESO for processing. Stand-alone command ESOs, such as Navy operational support center ESOs, will similarly leverage EAW workflow functionality for routing worksheets to units and departments and ultimately down to the Sailor for worksheet validation. a. Advancement worksheets will be established within NSIPS after publication of results from the previous advancement cycle. Once published, worksheets will be viewable by all roles. Early publication of worksheet information allows Sailors to gather documents and take corrective action in advance of the worksheet routing and verification process. b. Worksheet data is not dynamic and must be manually updated by the ESO prior to the exam administration date. c. Worksheet routing from the ESO to the Sailor, then back to the ESO, must be completed prior to the exam administration dates. Command reviewers can assist Sailors with data verification and document upload once the EAW has been routed to the Sailor. d. After exam administration, EAW post-exam administrative comments and discrepancy adjudication functionality must be used to correct candidate worksheets prior to advancement results publication. ESOs can route post- exam administrative comments to COMNAVPERSCOM Human Resource Specialists and NETPDC Records Administrators to ensure corrective actions are taken in line with reference (a). 7.
