RECORD REVIEW CHECKLIST

Review your Official Record to see what documentation, qualifications, etc. may be missing or requiring an update. This is agreat opportunity to meet with your Mentor, Leading Petty Officer or Leading Chief Petty Officer to understand the importance ofkeeping your record up-to-date. Check the following three major sections to verify your Official Record:

a. BUPERS Online: BUPERS Online (https://www.bol.navy.mil) is your main tool to ensure your record is up to date and

helps you to be proactive in making the most of your promotion opportunity. You should review your:

1. Official Military Personnel File (OMPF): All active duty and reserve personnel having a BOL account, a CAC (with

appropriate certificates) and a CAC-enabled computer can now view their OMPF online by selecting the OMPFoption on the BOL main menu page. This is the preferred method of obtaining OMPF information to eliminate theunnecessary time-lags caused by waiting days or weeks to receive a requested CD ROM.

2. If Deployed: Click on "Request Record on CD" to order your Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). This must be

accomplished four to six months before a board convenes, which will allow time for delivery and updating of yourrecord if required.

3. Check your Performance Summary Record (PSR) and Enlisted Summary Record (ESR) on

https://www.bol.navy.mil, click on the "ODC, OSR, PSR, ESR" link.

b. Electronic Service Record (ESR) Self-Service ESR: This can be viewed at https://nsips.nmci.navy.mil or on the Navy

Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) ESR server onboard ship.

c. Electronic Training Jacket (ETJ): Log in to My Navy Portal (MNP) and review your entire ETJ making sure that each

section is correct. If not, clicking on "Data Problems" at the bottom of each page which will guide you on how to makecorrections or updates.

d. US Navy Awards website: Log in to https://awards.navy.mil/ to review any awards you may qualify for but were unaware

of. Note that this website is only available from a CAC enabled, NMCI machine.

e. Physical Readiness Information Management System (PRIMS): To log in to PRIMS, first log in to BUPERS Online at

https://www.bol.navy.mil. Then look half way down the page for the PRIMS login at https://www.bol.navy.mil/bam/.

f. EOSH: The Federal Agency Employee Occupational Safety and Health (EOSH) Toolkit is available at

https://www.osha.gov/dep/fap/eosh_toolkit.html. It provides a one-stop-shop website that includes "just in time" informationabout maintaining a safe and healthful workplace.

Personnel eligible to volunteer for a Definite (alsotermed as “temporary”) Recall to Active Duty (ACDU) as a CANREC are Reserve Component (RC) members, specificallySelected Reserve (SELRES), Individual Ready Reserve (IRR-ASP), and Voluntary Training Unit (VTU) personnel.

Career Waypoints-Reenlistment:The Command Career Counselor is your local advocate to assist you with the Career Waypoints application process.

E3-E6 Sailors with less than 14 years of service must submit a Career Waypoints application, regardless of reenlistmentintentions. Sailors who do not desire to reenlist will submit an "intends to separate" application. Sailors not eligible forreenlistment will submit a "not eligible" application.

The Career Waypoints system automatically generates most of the applications needed by Sailors. Applications must besubmitted no later than 16 months prior to expiration of active/reserve obligated service (EAOS/EOS) or as extended(SEAOS/SEOS). Sailors with less than 24 months of contract time remaining at their projected rotation date (PRD) willsubmit an application 15 months prior to their PRD. In either case, the Career Waypoints system will automatically generate

applications for Sailors 18 months prior to either timeframe. Applications required outside of the established C-Way gatescan be submitted as Special Circumstance applications. Examples of when these may be needed include OBLISERVE forspecial duty, decommissioning or homeport shift.

The C-Way 3-2-1 Process aligns career decisions with the detailing process. Soft End of Active/Reserve Obligated Service(SEAOS/SEOS)/End of Active/Reserve Obligated Service (EAOS/EOS) applications are created by C-Way at the 18 monthfrom S/EAOS/EOS mark and must be submitted by the Command Career Counselor at the 16 month mark. This providestime for the Career Counselor to validate the Sailor's information and to ascertain the Sailors career intentions. The first C-Way review gate occurs from 16 to 13 months from S/EAOS/EOS with career choice options of in-rate, conversion, andSelected Reserve. The second review gate occurs from 12 to 9 months from S/EAOS/EOS with career choice options ofconversion and Selected Reserve. From 8 months to 4 months to S/EAOS/EOS the Sailor can only choose SelectedReserve affiliation.

Monthly reenlistment quotas are limited and must be reserved for our best and brightest Sailors who desire to Stay Navy.Sailors must choose one of the following based on their desires and qualifications:

Reenlist-in-Rate,

Reenlist-in-rate, Willing to Convert

Convert only

AC to AC or FTS to FTS

RC to AC/FTS

RC to RC

AC/FTS to CIP (Intermission)

AC/FTS to Tour w/ Industry

SELRES option

Canvasser Recruiter

Intend to separate

Not eligible

In February 2014, C-Way delivered auto-approval capabilities to provide reenlistment decisions on S/EAOS/EOS applicationsmore quickly for eligible ratings. This changed the monthly processing of reenlistment applications as described below.

If you are in an, "open" rating or a "balanced" rating in an undermanned year group or an E6, you are eligible forreenlistment, and your application is submitted with correct data it will be auto-approved and returned immediately, and youcan reenlist.

If you are in a "competitive" rating or a balanced rating but not an undermanned year group, then your application will beprocessed through the monthly Rack and Stack process. Applications submitted in one month are processed in Rack andStack the following month.

For Nuclear ratings, all applications are reviewed by enlisted community managers on an ongoing basis throughout theprocessing month.

If required data is missing (evaluations, Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) data, security clearance etc.) the applicationwill be denied with a note to your career counselor regarding what needs to be fixed. It is critical the Command CareerCounselor reviews these notes to ensure Sailors are not disadvantaged in their opportunities for retention.

Upon completion of the monthly process, Career Waypoints results will be available to command users via the Monthlyreport section of the Career Waypoint system.

For additional guidance, see MILPERSMAN 1160-140, NAVADMIN 231/17, and your Career Counselor Or call My Navy Call Center: (833) 330-MNCC or (901) 874-MNCC; or [email protected]

Targeted Reentry Program (TRP)NAVADMIN 047/18 empowers COs with the ability to identify and recommend SELRES on active duty/Definite Recall (ACDU)and Full Time Support (FTS) enlisted personnel, who are the best and brightest, the option for expedited reentry to Active Duty inthe Navy.

Golden Ticket – Sailors are guaranteed an expedited return to ACDU within one year from separation from ACDU. Sailorswho do not use their Golden Ticket within one year are automatically convert to a Silver Ticket for one additional year.Sailors must remain fully qualified.

Silver Ticket – Sailors are afforded an expedited return to ACDU within two years from separation date. This opportunity issubject to Needs of the Navy (NOTN) and provided the Sailor remains fully qualified.

Upon completion of the monthly process, Career Waypoints results will be available to command users via the Monthly reportsection of the Career Waypoints system.

How do I get started?

You already have. All your training up to this point is part of your Aviation Structural Mechanic Roadmap. Now that you havemade the first steps you will need to sit down and formulate a plan. This plan will work best if you start out discussing youroptions with your Leading Chief Petty Officer, Leading Petty Officer, Mentor, or Career Counselor. They will help you understandall of the basics. Then your next step is to contact the Navy College Virtual Education Center or visit your Overseas Navy CollegeOffice. Then your counselors will be able to help you formalize your plan and make sure that it makes sense for both you and theNavy. To aid you in your conversation with these professionals, here are a few questions that you may want to ask.

What credits do you have? What non-college courses have you taken? Where do you want to go? What field of study, or whatkind of degree? What program will help me get there: Traditional or Online? What are my next steps: Transfer credits, takeexams, have experience evaluated, or sign up for new courses?

More information is available online at: https://www.navycollege.navy.mil

Joint Service Transcripts (JST)

JSTs are official military transcripts which are used by colleges to validate your actual credited training. Every Sailor has a

transcript already and access to it is free.

More information is available online at: https://jst.doded.mil/

The American Council on Education (ACE)

ACE has reviewed every course listed in the OCCUPATIONAL Roadmap and determined what type of collegiate level credit isrecommended. The ACE identifier, listed with each course, is a source to validate the information and to check for changes asthey occur.

Updates can be found at http://www.acenet.edu/news-room/Pages/Military-Guide-Online.aspx.

Vocational Certificates

Vocational Certificates are available from most community colleges. Most of your military training can be counted toward theirdegree programs, but they will still require residency credits and approximately 40-75 credit hours. These certificates can be asvaluable as the apprenticeship program in the civilian work force.

College credits by Testing CLEP, DSST

Testing can replace the requirement to attend most of the college courses listed in the Occupational Roadmap. Base EducationCenters offer CLEP and DSST exams for active duty military at no cost. They also offer a comprehensive list of "credit-by-exam"tests. Additionally, many of the tests have study guides available. These tests are available at the base education center orthrough the base library system. For specific testing locations visit the DANTES website.

College Entrance Exams Testing ACT, SAT

The ACT and SAT are both standardized tests that help colleges evaluate candidates. Many colleges require that studentssubmit test results as part of the admission application process. Since Sailors are considered transfer students, these tests arenot generally required for admission. However, some Sailors must take the tests to enter specific military programs.
