Based upon positive Fleet feedback and the overwhelming success of recent pilot programs, this NAVADMIN announces permanent adoption of the Advancement-to-Position (A2P) program for Active Duty Sailors. This NAVADMIN supersedes reference (a). The permanent A2P program will fill priority E-6 billets via an advancement incentive and is another step towards a modernized personnel system and future detailing marketplace intended to improve Fleet readiness and manning through better distribution of our talent. Sailors selected for A2P billets will be advanced to E-6 and receive pay commensurate with that pay grade upon reporting to their ultimate duty station after successful completion of any required training enroute, unless advanced sooner via another advancement program. Selected Sailors will receive permanent change of station orders to report to an A2P billet in line with current detailing business rules. Applicants will only be considered for the specific A2P billets to which they have applied. 2. Eligibility a. All applicants must be E-5s who are in their detailing window for rotation and have taken the most recent E-6 Navy-wide advancement examination (NWAE) for which results have been published. This requirement is not waiverable. The program is open to Active Component Sailors only. b. Applicants must be qualified to fill the specific billets to which they apply. Sailors should contact their detailer if they have any questions regarding their ability to be detailed to an A2P billet. c. All Sailors may apply to sea duty A2P billets, regardless of sea/shore flow considerations. Sailors on shore duty who are due to rotate to sea duty will not be considered for shore duty A2P billets. 3. Billets. Billets identified for the A2P program will appear in the *Advance to Position* category in Career Management System Interactive Detailing (CMS-ID). Only a limited number of billets will be offered during each detailing cycle and not all rates will have billets advertised each cycle. To ensure billets available for this program are displayed, Sailors should verify the *Advance to Position* category is selected in the optional input portion of the CMS-ID job search page. Sailors should submit applications to the billets in the same manner as standard cycle applications. 4. Selection. Candidates will be selected on a competitive basis using the following considerations: a. Final Multiple Score (FMS) from the most recently published NWAE cycle. FMS is the primary criteria for selection of eligible A2P applicants. b. Command comments entered into CMS-ID. Commands with billets advertised for fill via the A2P program are strongly encouraged to enter comments into CMS-ID regarding the suitability of applicants during the command comment phase of the detailing cycle. c. Final selection of candidates will be based upon a combination of FMS rank order and gaining command comments. 5. Frocking and Advancement. Sailors selected for A2P billets are eligible for frocking upon successful completion of all enroute training or schools required for the billet to which they were selected and will be advanced to the pay grade of E-6 upon check-in at their ultimate duty station. No further administrative action is required by the gaining command beyond the normal gaining transaction. Sailors who fail to successfully complete enroute training/schools required for the performance of an A2P billet will not be advanced to E-6, regardless of whether or not they continue to execute orders to the ultimate duty station. 6.
