NAVADMIN 280/21 Detailing Marketplace Assignment Policy (DMAP) Ref (a) NAVADMIN 234/08, Sea Shore Flow Enlisted Career Paths Ref (b) NAVADMIN 274/19, Sea Shore Flow Enlisted Career Paths Update Ref (c) NAVADMIN 284/15, Sea Shore Flow Enlisted Career Paths Updates for Nuclear Trained Enlisted Personnel Ref (d) NAVADMIN 157/19, Sea Shore Flow Enlisted Career Paths Update for Nuclear Trained Junior Staff Instructors Overview. This NAVADMIN announces implementation of Detailing Marketplace Assignment Policy (DMAP) Phase I for four enlisted ratings on 01 March 2022. Future DMAP Phases, encompassing additional enlisted ratings, will be announced in subsequent NAVADMINs. In order to reduce gaps at sea and address Sailors desires for more options and flexibility, DMAP will expand Sailor options beyond the sea-shore flow enlisted career paths promulgated in reference (a) and most recently updated in reference (b). Under DMAP, Sailors in most ratings will continue to follow a traditional sea-shore rotation, but in many cases will have new incentives to remain at sea. Sailors in sea-intensive ratings will be offered increased monetary incentives and new non-monetary incentives to serve a 3-year follow-on journeyman (E-5) sea duty tour immediately after an initial 4-year apprentice (E-4 and below) sea duty tour (DMAP 4+3). Included in this, DMAP will provide early advancement opportunities for many E-4 Sailors who possess the requisite proficiency and experience. This DMAP 4+3-sea tour option can be served at the same or different commands, to best maximize value to Sailors and the Fleet. DMAP Phase I will commence 01 March 2022 and includes all Active Component Sailors in the following four sea-intensive ratings: ABF(A102) ABH(A103) CS(B650) GSM(B122) Note 1: Sailors on sea duty in these Phase I ratings with projected rotation dates (PRD) on or before 01 March 2023 may opt-out of DMAP for their upcoming assignment process and enter the legacy sea-shore flow marketplace. In order to opt-out, the Sailor’s detailer must receive an Electronic Personnel Action Request (NAVPERS 1306/7) from the Sailor, via their command, no later than 01 March 2022. Note 2: Nuclear trained enlisted personnel should continue to refer to Refs (c) and (d) for career path information. Refer to subject NAVADMIN for additional details. F.
