REF B IS NAVADMIN 274/19, SEA SHORE FLOW ENLISTED CAREER PATHS UPDATE. REF C IS NAVADMIN 395/02, TRAINING AND ADMINISTRATION OF RESERVE SEA SHORE ROTATION TOUR LENGTH REVISION.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN supports references (a) through (c) and announces the assignment optimization plan for active component and training and administration of reserve (TAR) chief petty officers (CPOs). Commander, Navy Personnel Command (COMNAVPERSCOM), Enlisted Assignment Division (PERS-40) will work with the Fleet readiness integrators (FRI), type commanders (TYCOMs) and budget submitting office (BSO) N1 staffs to evaluate all CPOs assigned to billets with incorrect paygrades or those who are not aligned to funded billet requirements. The goal of this optimization plan is to ensure our most experienced enlisted Sailors are aligned to billets which specifically need their training, leadership and experience. This plan will lead to the realignment of CPOs into billets appropriate to their skills and experience. 2. COMNAVPERSCOM will host a virtual senior enlisted manning summit in Millington, TN from 28 February to 4 March 2022. In person groups supporting the virtual summit will be governed by the applicable health protection condition restrictions, see local guidance for specifics. During registration for the summit, attendees have and will be provided with specific risk mitigation instructions. The aim of this summit will be to review all CPO assignments, with the goal of aligning the maximum number of chiefs to chief billets. This summit will allow Fleet and TYCOMs to work with COMNAVPERSCOM to fill their most impactful gapped billets. a. Enlisted Readiness and Placement Branch (PERS-4013) provided a list of misaligned CPOs to the FRIs. The FRIs distributed the list of misaligned Sailors to the TYCOM and BSO N1s. Prior to the summit, PERS-4013 will evaluate CPO billet requirements in MyNavy Assignment (MNA) and, if the billets are filled by Sailors outside of the billet paygrade, the incumbent may be realigned to an in-paygrade requirement or placed in excess aboard the current command. This will ensure that personnel assignment stakeholders have a clear demand signal of valid CPO requirements. After completion of the summit, if CPOs are identified for movement, PERS-4013 will submit personnel manning action requests via MNA. If there are no near-term movements required, Sailors may have their projected rotation date (PRD) adjusted to enter the order negotiation window earlier than their current PRD. (1) CPOs who have their PRD adjusted will be considered a sea or shore roller based on a ratio of sea and shore duty billets available within their paygrade. (2) CPOs should expect to negotiate for orders to fill an in-paygrade requirement in all follow on assignments. b. Enlisted manning stakeholders identified in paragraph 1 shall review misaligned personnel, as well as Fleet billet vacancies, and provide their recommendations for action at the manning summit. c. Fleet readiness concerns will guide all decisions and actions, but each move will be considered on a case-by-case basis to minimize impacts to our Sailors and their families. d. The movement of realigned personnel will begin in the April 2022 timeframe. 3. The summit precept requires participants to maintain integrity without prejudice or partiality for all Sailors evaluated. Each participant must pay particular attention to each Sailor and billet to ensure that they are meeting the intention of CPO optimization. During deliberations, participants may discuss any negative impacts a realignment may have on the command or the Sailor. Before any decisions are made, TYCOM/BSO and FRIs will provide their input. If the requested actions are within one FRI, the FRI will make final decisions. If the requested action involves more than one FRI and there is a disagreement, the manning control authority will make the final decision. A copy of the precept will be provided to the participants by the summit coordinators. 4. Fleet activities shall continue evaluating MNA alignments to ensure that Sailors are accurately aligned aboard the current activity. CPOs should be aligned to billets for their specific paygrades. If Sailors of any paygrade need to be realigned to another billet, the command activity manning manager (AMM) should submit a member realignment request in MNA. If the MRR is approved, PERS-4013 will update the alignment. AMMs should reach out to their command placement coordinator in PERS-4013 with any issues, questions or concerns. 5. Key messages a. Sailors. We are working to better align our enlisted supervisors to billets which require their skills and experience. The emphasis on operational readiness and unit prioritization reflect our identity as a sea service. We must preserve the readiness of the Fleet and ensure that CPOs are optimally assigned to meet mission readiness. We will take each Sailors personal considerations into account, but I know that this may induce additional hardship for some Sailors and their families, and I sincerely thank them for their service and sacrifice. b. Commands. Commanders, commanding officers, executive officers and command master chiefs must ensure their Sailors understand the intent of this message. 6.
