This NAVADMIN replaces reference (a) and announces the policy and guidance for Calendar Year (CY) 2022 Season Two Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP) for Active-Duty (Active Component and Training and Administration of the Reserve (TAR)) Sailors. MAP season two will run from 1 September through 15 October 2022. This season will feature an additional preseason window for commands to verify user hierarchies and unit identification code (UIC) assignments ahead of the season. The timeline in paragraph 3 contains additional details. 2. MAP will account for approximately 20 percent of total advancements during CY22, with roughly half of the available MAP quotas allocated for each of two MAP seasons during the year. The two-season framework aligns MAP with the Navy wide advancement exam (NWAE) to ensure any unused MAP quotas are included in the NWAE cycle and to emphasize the intent of MAP to select and reward top performing Sailors. To meet required time in rate (TIR) for MAP advancement eligibility, Sailors must have a date of rank no later than the following: a. E-5: 1 January 2021. b. E-5 (Nuclear-Trained Sailors): 1 January 2020. c. E-4 and below: No TIR requirement. 3. Timeline: a. MAP Pre-season: 15-24 August 2022. b. MAP Quotas Uploaded: 30 August 2022. c. CY22 MAP Season 2: 1 September-15 October 2022. 4. In order to control over advancing particular rate-paygrade combinations and maintain rating health, MAP advancement to AO3 and RS3 for Active-Duty Sailors remains controlled as outlined in paragraph 7. 5. In line with reference (b), MAP advancement to ABH2, ABF2, GSM2, and CS2 for Active Component Sailors is not authorized due to new advancement opportunities available within the detailing marketplace assignment policy (DMAP) for those rates. Visit MyNavy HR DMAP website, located at https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career- Management/Detailing/Enlisted/Detailing-Marketplace/, for more information. 6. Commands are required to have two Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) MAP user roles (command reviewer and command reporting senior) in order to submit MAP advancement(s), exception(s) to policy (ETP) and additional MAP quota requests through NSIPS. NSIPS web afloat users and commands without access to NSIPS should refer to paragraph 6a for instructions on submitting their MAP advancements. The system will use authoritative data to determine eligibility, however, commands are still required to locally validate MAP candidates have successfully completed the professional military knowledge eligibility examination requirement prior to the first day of the MAP season (1 September 2022), as outlined in reference (c). For training on user roles, log into NSIPS via https://www.nsips.navy.mil/ and click on training tab, then click MAP tutorial. a. NSIPS web afloat users and commands without access to NSIPS must submit a MAP nomination request via e-mail directly to their immediate superior in command (ISIC), type commander (TYCOM) or budget submitting office (BSO)/echelon II command using the meritorious certification letter (MCL). The letter must be signed by the commanding officer and should address any ETP and/or additional quotas requested. Sample MCLs and detailed information regarding the offline process can be found via MyNavy Portal (MNP) at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion/a- enlisted-advancement-resources-and-links, then select the *Websites* tab in the blue banner and then select the MAP homepage. b. Quota usage, modifications and distribution will be managed within the NSIPS environment. BSO and command quotas will be uploaded into NSIPS on 30 August 2022 and can be found under the quota summary report tab. Quotas can also be found via MNP at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion/a-enlisted- advancement-resources-and-links, then select the *Websites* tab in the blue banner and then select the MAP homepage. c. Additional quotas can be requested using the quota request option by the command reviewer user role. Commands must contact their BSO to determine timeline for additional quota requests. Whether or not command quotas are authorized, all commands have the opportunity to request quotas from their BSO/echelon II command, via their ISIC and TYCOM, unless the rating is not authorized for MAP in line with paragraph 5 above. d. NSIPS will automatically determine if an ETP is required using predetermined criteria. Service Members in ratings requiring security clearances and rates/pay grades requiring time in rate TIR waivers will be automatically routed for adjudication. The request will be routed through the ISIC, TYCOM, and BSO/echelon II command using a hierarchical workflow. e. NSIPS will not automatically generate an ETP for nuclear trained service Members. Commands desiring to advance a nuclear trained service Member not meeting the TIR requirement must request an ETP to Director, Military Personnel Plans and Policy (OPNAV N13) via the Nuclear Program Manager (OPNAV N133). 7. MAP Advancements in Controlled Rates. Commands desiring to MAP a Sailor to AO3 or RS3 must submit a request to their BSO, via their ISIC and TYCOM, using the quota request option in NSIPS. If the command does not have access to NSIPS, they should follow the procedures in paragraph 6a. BSOs will be granted MAP quotas for each rate based on the proportion of the billets authorized (BA) at the lower paygrade of that rate under that BSO. If there are not enough quotas for all BSOs with BA for the lower paygrade, the quotas will be allocated to the BSOs with the largest amount of BA for the lower paygrade. BSOs will be contacted by BUPERS-32 to inform them of how many of their assigned quotas may be used for the specified rates. Commands will submit requests to the BSOs using the template provided on the MAP homepage via MNP at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion/a-enlisted- advancement-resources-and-links, then select the *Websites* tab in the blue banner and then select the MAP homepage. 8.
