CAREER ROADMAP

Seaman Recruit to Master Chief Roadmap


The educational roadmap below will assist Sailors in the Master-At-Arms community through the process of pursuing
professional development and advanced education using various military and civilian resources e.g. PQS program; JST Joint
Service Transcript; E-Learning; Navy College Network; etc. Successful leadership is the key to military readiness and will always
require a high degree of technical skill, professional knowledge, and intellectual development.

What is a Career Roadmap for Master-At-Arms?


Master-At-Arms roadmaps are just what the name implies - a roadmap through the Enlisted Learning and Development
Continuum from Seaman Recruit through Master Chief. The principal focus is to standardize a program Navy wide by featuring
the existing skills necessary to be successful in the Navy. The ultimate goal of a roadmap is to produce a functional and
competent Sailor.

What is the Enlisted Learning and Development Continuum?


Enlisted Learning and Development Continuum is the formal title given to the curriculum and process building on the foundation
of Sailorization beginning in our Delayed Entry Program through Recruit Training Command and throughout your entire career.
The continuum combines skill training, professional education, well-rounded assignments, and voluntary education. As you
progress through your career, early-on skill training diminishes while professional military education gradually increases.
Experience is the ever-present constant determining the rate at which a Sailor trades skill training for professional development.

Do Sailors have to follow the Roadmap?


Yes. The Master-At-Arms roadmap includes the four areas encompassed by the Continuum in Professional Military Education to
include; Navy Professional Military Education (NPME), Joint Professional Military Education (JPME), Leadership and Advanced
Education.
Some training and education is mandatory (Recruit Training, Master-at-Arms Class “A” School at NTTC, Lackland AFB, San
Antonio, TX, E-Learning, etc.). Some may be directed by your chain of command (Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint courses),
and the remainder is voluntary (MNP, E-Learning, college courses, etc.). Sailors are advised to seek out mentors, including your
Command Master Chief, Senior Enlisted Advisor, Leading Chief Petty Officer, Leading Petty Officer and Command Career
Counselor, and to make use of your Navy College Virtual Education Center (VEC) or OCONUS Education Office's vast
resources. All are uniquely qualified to help you along the way.

MA CAREER PATH
(SW/AW/EXW)

Master at Arms (MA). MAs will individually, or as part of a force, be able to conduct Force Protection operations in order to defeat
threats at sea, on shore, and in expeditionary environments. Force Protection is a program that comprises of three pillars:
Antiterrorism, Physical Security and Law Enforcement. Specifically, the MA will conduct scalable force protection and security
providing layered defense for designated assets and critical infrastructure throughout the world. Additionally, MAs will operate in
an integrated at sea/coastal/landward security environment, providing mobile and fixed defensive operations in support of
Commanders performing base defense, expeditionary/combat operations, strategic asset security, law enforcement, corrections, and
special events and operations with other services, host nation partners, and civil authorities.

Notes:

1. “A” school is required

2. All Master-At-Arms (MA) must focus on primary duties and qualify to rank and respective TYCOM
requirements as quickly as possible. Maintaining security clearance eligibility, weapons proficiency and worldwide
assign-ability to meet rating needs is equally as important.

3. In the past, MA’s did not have a typical Sea-Shore Flow model, rather the rating operated as a CONUS/
OCONUS (or INUS/OUTUS) rotation with OCONUS or OUTUS tours counting as sea tours for rotational
purposes. The MA rate moved to a traditional Sea-Shore Flow model in January 2020 to aid in the prioritization of
Sea billets. That said, shore billets account for approximately 70% of all MA funded billets and although sea billets
are a priority to fill, many MAs will see back-to-back shore assignments available funded billets when in their
detailing window, at no fault of their own.

MA CAREER PATH
(SW/AW/EXW)

4. All attempts should be made by the individual to take a sea or deploying billet whenever possible. This said,
advancement to the next paygrade will be based on being fully qualified, breaking out amongst peers and
completing successful tours where the individual is assigned based on the Navy’s current priorities and needs.

a. MA Billet Selection. Top enlisted MA personnel will be relied upon as advisors to Commanding
Officers and Flag Officers. As such, it is imperative our top enlisted personnel have successful experiences in these
assigned Security Force Specialties:

(1) SWFPAC, SWFLANT, TACAMO (Tinker VQ Det) assignments. These are arduous, joint-
service tours of duty by nature and should be strongly considered as career enhancing due to the unique
qualifications they require. These tours are considered Sea Duty equivalent and counted as a Sea Duty rotation

(2) Dependent Restricted Tours (DRT) in Souda Bay Crete, Diego Garcia, Bahrain, El Salvador, Bahamas, Deveselu
Romania, and Redzikow, Poland. MAs should expect two dependent restricted tours during a career, the first should
be expected as a junior enlisted MA (E1-E6) and the second as a senior enlisted MA (E7-E9). These are considered
arduous duty by nature and should be strongly considered as career enhancing.

(3) Independent Duty Ship Tours. These should be considered challenging tours as the assignment
carries the responsibility of being the primary AT Training Supervisor, providing training to the entire crew, and
handling all matters dealing physical security and law enforcement in the lone billet. Active involvement with the
FCPOA/CPO Mess as appropriate to paygrade and holding a command impact collateral duty will aid in being
competitive amongst peers at the selection board.

(4) Type 4 forward deployed forces (overseas sea duty)

b. Duty Types. Duty types offer the potential to attain NEC’s and warfare designations. MA’s should take
advantage of these opportunities to stay competitive for advancement:

(1) Installation Security. MAs provide Force Protection support for the Installation Commanding
Officer with the mission of protecting the installation, its assets, and its personnel. MAs assigned to installations
currently do not have the opportunity to obtain a warfare qualification. NECs 717B, 718B, P01A, P02A, P05A,
P06A and 804A are associated with installation security tours.

(2) Harbor Patrol Unit (HPU). MAs assigned to the HPU operate small craft providing point and
area security for waterside assets and ports. Additionally, HPUs may conduct High Value Unit (HVU) escorts.
MAs assigned to HPUs currently do not have the opportunity to obtain a warfare qualification. Although not
inclusive in all units, MAs assigned to an HPU may be eligible to qualify for the Small Craft Insignia. NEC 853A,
P03A, P04A are associated with HPU tours.

(3) Expeditionary Forces. MAs in the Expeditionary Forces are assigned to the Maritime
Expeditionary Security Forces (MESF). MAs completing sea tours with the MESF are assigned to Maritime
Security Squadrons (MSRON), Maritime Expeditionary Security Group ONE Detachment Guam (MESG-1 Det
Guam) or Maritime Expeditionary Security Group TWO Detachment Bahrain (MESG-2 Det Bahrain). MAs
completing shore tours with the MESF are assigned to the MESG ONE, MESG TWO, MESG ONE TEU, MESG
TWO TEU and Navy Expeditionary Combat Command. MESF may perform duties in Embarked Security
Intelligence Teams (ESIT), Aircraft Security Teams (AST), Convoy Security, Camp Security, boat operations,
Expeditionary Designated Marksman (EDM), Expeditionary Small Arms Marksmanship Instructor (ESAMI),
Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) operations, assessment teams, training teams and staff
operations. All MAs assigned to Expeditionary Units with an active Expeditionary Warfare Specialist (EXWS)
program are required to qualify within each command's prescribed timeline. NECs 717B, 718B, 775A, 804A, 804G,
804A, 853A, 8MTS and 0190 are associated with Expeditionary tours.

(4) Strategic Systems Programs (SSP). MAs assigned to this type of duty conduct security
operations for strategic assets at either Strategic Weapons Facility (SWF) Atlantic or Pacific. MAs assigned to a

4
Revised: March 2021
MA CAREER PATH
(SW/AW/EXW)

SWF are regulated by the Personnel Reliability Program (PRP) and attached to a Marine Corps Security Force
Battalion. MAs assigned to this duty type conduct security operations, HPU, or Military Working Dog (MWD)
duties. MAs assigned to SWF do not have the opportunity to obtain a warfare qualification. MAs assigned to SWF
are authorized to wear Enlisted Nuclear Weapons Security (NWS) Breast Insignia after qualification in the highest
watch station commensurate with their paygrade and maintaining PRP certification for 12 months. A star is earned
for each consecutive 12 months of maintaining qualifications thereafter. NECs 717B, 718B, P05A, P06A, 804A,
853A, P10A are associated with SSP tours.

(5) TACAMO (VQ3/VQ4/SCW-1). MAs assigned to this type of duty conduct security
operations for strategic aircraft. MAs assigned to TACMO are regulated by the PRP. VQ3 with UIC 55154 and
VQ4 with UIC 42065 are considered sea duty for MAs. Other VQ detachments are considered shore duty. SCW-1
with UIC 55575 is considered shore duty, but remains regulated by PRP. MAs assigned to VQ may have the
opportunity to qualify Enlisted Aviation Warfare Specialist (EAWS).

(6) Afloat Security. MAs in this duty type conduct in port and underway Force Protection
operations onboard LHA, LHD and CVNs. MAs may be used for Antiterrorism operations, Physical Security, Law
Enforcement, investigations, brig operations and training for the Ship’s Self Defense Force. All MAs assigned to
this duty type have the opportunity to qualify as Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist (ESWS). All Sailors must
qualify ESWS within a predetermined timeframe established by the member’s command. MAs assigned to this type
of duty may also have the opportunity to qualify as Enlisted Aviation Warfare Specialist EAWS. NECs P01A,
P02A, P08A, P12A, and 804A are associated with afloat security tours.

(7) Chief Master-at-Arms (CMAA). MACSs are normally assigned to LPDs, MACs are normally
assigned to CGs, and MA1s are normally assigned to DDG’s. These MAs manage the Force Protection program,
train and qualify the Ship’s Self-Defense Force, conduct investigations, perform legal officer functions, and assist
the Commanding Officer in maintaining good order and discipline. All MAs assigned to this duty type must qualify
ESWS within a predetermined timeframe established by the member’s command. NECs P01A, P02A, and 804A are
associated with Afloat Independent Duty CMAA tours.

(8) Military Working Dog (MWD). MWDs are assigned to Installation Security, Strategic
Weapons Facilities (SWF). NEC P05A, MWD Handler, and/ or NEC P06A, Kennel Master/Trainer, is required for
MWD tours. NEC P05A, and a minimum of four (4) years of MWD handler experience, is a prerequisite for NEC
P06A. NEC P05A and NEC P06A may also be assigned to Naval Special Warfare units. NEC P06A is generally
reserved for qualified MA1s and above. Qualified MA2s may obtain NEC P06A; however, will not fill a KM billet
until they are advanced to MA1. The MWD Program Manager approves P05A/P06A recommendations. Normally,
MA1s will be assigned as Kennel Masters to installations with less than eight (8) MWDs or as MWD Trainer at
larger kennels or Regional MWD staff. MACs and above are assigned as Kennel Masters, MWD Trainers, NCIS
STAAT Assessors, CNIC CART Assessors, and Regional or Fleet Kennel Masters. An MACM will normally fill
the MWD Program Manager assignment. MWD Teams routinely deploy in support of overseas contingency
operations, Presidential/Head of State missions and other VIP/ special event missions. Duty type for MWD
Handlers is commensurate with the unit to which they are assigned. Duty rotation operates as a CONUS-OCONUS
(or INUS/OUTUS) rotation, with a majority of the billets being CONUS. Duty rotation for NEC P06A may include
back-to-back CONUS tours. Since this is a closed loop program, MWD Handlers do not have the opportunity for a
warfare qualification. MAs may be assigned as MWD Handler, MWD Trainer, Kennel Master or perform MWD
Instructor duties.

(9) NCIS Operations. MAs assigned to NCIS specific missions can be assigned as Protective
Service Details (PSD) and Investigators. MAs conducting PSD missions provide protection for designated High-
Risk Personnel (HRP). These duties include site surveys, planning and pedestrian/vehicle security. MAs assigned as
investigators will investigate crimes within the NCIS purview, collecting evidence, conducting interviews/
interrogations, working with outside agencies and assisting NCIS Agents. MAs assigned to PSD Missions or as
Investigators do not have the opportunity for a warfare qualification. NEC P09A is required for PSD tours and NEC
P02A and/or P12A is required for NCIS Investigator tours.

Revised: March 2021
MA CAREER PATH
(SW/AW/EXW)

(10) GSA/IA is a tour of duty where the Sailor supports or "augments" another Navy, Marine
Corps or Army command. MAs can be PCSed on GSA orders or temporarily assigned and return to their current or
"parent" command upon completion of their assignment on IA orders. Assignments vary in length from a few
months to a year or more in multiple locations overseas and in the U.S. GSA/IA tours require specific training
ranging from Detain Operations to Investigations and should be considered favorable career choices.

c. Other Tours. In addition to the main duty types, MAs conduct duties that support the NSF, the Fleet and
other commands. These tours are diverse in nature and are considered SPECIAL DUTY ASSIGNMENTS.

(1) Instructor Duty. MAs are assigned to CENSECFOR and other training centers as instructors.
This duty is considered vital to the sustained health of the Naval Security Force (NSF). MAs assigned to Instructor
Duty have the opportunity to qualify as a Master Training Specialist(MTS, NEC 8MTS).

(2) Staff Duty. MAs are assigned to various COCOM, FLEET, TYCOM and other staffs. These
MAs primarily conduct antiterrorism (AT) planning and assessments of subordinate units. MAs assigned to

3. Promotion boards will be instructed to select the most fully qualified candidates. All Master-At-Arms (MA)
must focus on primary duties and qualify to rank and respective TYCOM requirements as quickly as possible.
Equally important is maintaining security clearance eligibility, weapons proficiency/ Annual Sustainment Training
(AST) and worldwide assignability to meet rating needs.

4. SELRES MA’s do not have a typical Sea-Shore Flow. SELRES Community, MAC/MACS/MACM must
demonstrate a wide diversity of duties and platforms to gain experience to enhance their abilities to leader at the next
higher pay grade.

a. MA Billet Selection. It is imperative our top enlisted personnel have experience in the majority of our
Security Force Specialties:

(1) SWFPAC, SWFLANT, TACAMO (VQ Det) assignments. These assignments should be
considered career enhancing due to the nature of assets protected and the qualifications required. These tours are
counted as a Sea Tour for rotational purposes.

(2) Isolated tours in Souda Bay Crete, Diego Garcia, Bahrain, Deveselu Romania, Poland,
Chinhae, South Korea, Military Groups/US Embassy detachments.
(3) Independent Duty Ship tours. (Ensure active involvement with the FCPOA/CPO Mess as
appropriate to paygrade and holding a major collateral duty in order to be competitive amongst peers and at the
selection boards).

MA CAREER PATH
SELECTED RESERVES (SELRES)

(4) Type 4 forward deployed forces (overseas sea duty)

b. Duty Types. Types of duty offer the potential to attain NEC’s and warfare designations. MA’s should
take advantage of these opportunities to stay competitive for advancement:

(1) Installation Security. MAs provide security and law enforcement support for the Installation
Commanding Officer with the mission of protecting installation. MAs assigned to installations do not have the
opportunity to obtain a warfare qualification. NECs 0812, 0814, 2001, 2002, and 9501 are associated with
installation security tours.

(2) Harbor Patrol Unit (HPU). MAs assigned to the HPU operate small craft providing point and
area security for waterside assets and ports. Additionally, HPUs may conduct High Value Unit (HVU) escorts.
MAs assigned to HPUs do not have the opportunity to obtain a warfare qualification. Although not inclusive in all
units, MAs assigned to an HPU may be eligible to qualify for the Small Craft Insignia. NEC 0190, 2003, 2004 are
associated with HPU tours.

(3) Expeditionary Forces. MAs assigned to the Expeditionary Forces will be assigned to the
Coastal Riverine Force (CRF). The CRF absorbed the Maritime Expeditionary Security Force (MESF). CRF is
SEA duty. MAs assigned to the CRF may be performing duties in boat operations, Riverine Security Team
Operations, aircraft security (RAVEN), embarked security (EST), Joint Terminal Air Controller (JTAC), Visit,
Board, Search and Seizure (VBSS) and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) operations. All MAs
assigned to Expeditionary Units must obtain Expeditionary Warfare Specialist (EXWS) within 12 months of
assignment. NECs 0812, 0814, 9501 and 0190 are associated with Expeditionary tours. For the SELRES
Community, these type of reserve units are great opportunities and should be one platform for a
MAC/MACS/MACM.

(4) Strategic Systems Programs (SSP). MAs assigned to this duty type conduct security operation
for strategic assets at either Strategic Weapons Facility (SWF) Atlantic or Pacific. MAs assigned to a SWF are
regulated by the Personnel Reliability Program (PRP). MAs assigned to this duty type conduct security operations,
HPU, or Military Working Dog (MWD) duties. MAs assigned to SWF do not have the opportunity to obtain a
warfare qualification. MAs assigned to SWF are authorized to wear Enlisted Nuclear Weapons Security (NWS)
Breast Insignia after maintaining PRP certification for 12 months and after qualification in the highest watch station
commensurate with their pay grade. NECs 0812, 0814, 9501, 0190, 2010 are associated with SSP tours.

(5) TACAMO (VQ Squadrons). MAs assigned to this duty type conduct security operation for
strategic aircraft. MAs assigned to TACAMO are regulated by the PRP. VQ 3 with UIC 55154 and VQ 4 with UIC
42065 are considered sea duty for MAs. Other VQ detachments are considered shore duty. MAs assigned to VQ
may have the opportunity to qualify Enlisted Aviation Warfare Specialist (EAWS).

(6) Afloat Security. MAs in this duty type conduct in port and underway security and law
enforcement operations onboard LHA, LHD and CVNs. MAs may be used for security operations, ATFP,
investigations, brig operations and training for the Ship’s Self Defense Force. All MAs assigned to this duty type
have the opportunity to qualify as Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist (ESWS). All Sailors must qualify ESWS
within a predetermined timeframe established by the member’s command not to exceed 30 months from receipt at
the command. MAs assigned to this type of duty may also have the opportunity to qualify as EAWS. NECs 2001,
2002, 2008, and 9501 are associated with afloat security tours.

(7) Chief Master-at-Arms (CMAA). MACSs are normally assigned to LPDs. MA1s are normally
assigned to CG’s and DDG’s. These MAs manage the ATFP program, train and qualify the Ship’s Self-Defense
Force, conduct investigations and perform legal officer functions and assist the Commanding Officer in maintaining
good order and discipline. All MAs assigned to this duty type must qualify ESWS within a predetermined
timeframe established by the member’s command not to exceed 30 months from receipt at the command. NECs
2001 and 9501 are associated with Afloat Independent Duty CMAA tours.

(8) Military Working Dog (MWD). MWDs are assigned to Installation Security, DEVGRU, and
Strategic Weapons Facilities. MWD Handlers/ Kennel Masters may also be assigned to Naval Special Warfare
units. MAs may be assigned as MWD Handler, MWD Trainer, Kennel Master or perform Instructor duties. MWD
Teams routinely deploy in support of overseas contingency operations, Presidential/ Head of State missions and
other VIP/ special event missions. Duty type for MWD Handlers is commensurate with the unit to which they are
assigned. Duty rotation operates as a CONUS-OCONUS (or INUS/OUTUS) rotation. Since this is a closed loop
program, MWD Handlers do not have the opportunity for a warfare qualification. NEC 2005 or 2006 is required for
MWD tours. Warfare qualifications are available only at shipboard/sea-going commands (ESWS and EAWS) and
Type 2 or 4 designated NECC/ Naval Special Warfare (EXWS and EIWS) commands. For the SELRES community
unless you are coming off active duty, there is little to no opportunity in the MWD program.

(9) Protective Service Detail (PSD). MAs within a PSD are assigned to the Naval Criminal
Investigative Service (NCIS). MAs conducting PSD missions provide protection for designated High Risk
Personnel (HRP). These duties include site surveys, planning, and pedestrian/vehicle security. MAs assigned to
PSD missions do not have the opportunity for a warfare qualification. NEC 2009 is required for PSD tours. For the
SELRES community this is a special program the MAs are individually screened and selected for these types of
missions. SELRES MAs are encouraged to apply for mission critical billets when there is opportunity.

c. Other Tours. In addition to the main duty types, MAs conduct duties that support the NSF, the fleet and
other commands. These tours are diverse in nature and are considered SHORE DUTY.

(1) Instructor Duty. MAs are assigned to CENSECFOR and other training centers as instructors.
This duty is considered vital to the sustained health of the Naval Security Force (NSF). MAs assigned to Instructor
Duty have the opportunity to qualify as a Master Training Specialist.

(2) Staff Duty. MAs are assigned to various TYCOM, FLEET, COCOM and other staffs. These
MAs primarily conduct antiterrorism (AT) planning and assessments of subordinate units.

(3) Training and Assessment Teams. STAAT is a subordinate unit within the Naval Criminal
Investigative Service (NCIS). MAs assigned to STAAT conduct port, installation and airfield vulnerability
assessments to assist Fleet Commanders in anti-terrorism efforts. STAAT also provides Military Working Dog
Program assessments and provides Mobile Training Teams for installation security while assisting CNIC with
installation certification of security forces. Personnel assigned to STAAT do not have the opportunity for a warfare
qualification. MAs assigned to STAAT may be eligible for Master Training Specialist (MTS) and are required to
hold the 9501 NEC. CNIC Training and Assessment Teams conduct inspections and certifications on the Navy
Security Forces of Navy Installations.

(4) Independent Duty Master at Arms (IDMAA). MACSs and MACs may be assigned as IDMAA
to Transient Personnel Units, Nuclear School house billets, NAVIDFOR facilities or imbedded in certain deployable
units such a Special Warfare or Seabee Battalions. In these billets, the IDMAA will have a variety of roles similar to
the CMAA on ships. NECs 2002, 9501, and 90CS are associated with IDMAA tours.

5. Additional certifications available to MAs:

a) Small Arms Instructor NEC 0812 (SELRES)


b) Crew Served Weapons Instructor NEC 0814 (SELRES)
c) Chief Master-at-Arms NEC 2001
d) Command Investigator NEC 2002 (SELRES)

** New developments; NEC 2003 was established in order to identify Master-at-Arms who possess Harbor Patrol
Unit (HPU) experience, and training required for assignment to a HPU. Personnel possessing the 2003 NEC are
responsible for the tactical operation and training conducted within the HPU. NEC 2004 HSB TRASUP is
responsible for the planning, oversight, accessing and training of Force Protection Boat Coxswains at HPUs.

6. If attached to a NECC command, member should obtain a Warfare Qualification if time permits.

7. MA’s should try to obtain NEC’s when attached to NECC Units, Commissioned Unit and NSF Installations.
However, most RC MA’s may never have the opportunity to pursue a NEC throughout their career due to belonging
to small NOSC units.

8. All or a vast majority of RC MA’s should obtain at a minimum their Sentry PQS, Urinalysis Program
Coordinator (UPC) Certification and complete the MA Correspondence Course through NETC. Members of NSF
Units who obtain NEC’s as CMAA, CFL’s, CCC’s and SAMI should be looked favorably upon for advancement.

9. In addition to the above career path, a MA is advanced due to their proven leadership, performance, and
qualifications.

10. SELRES MA working as civilian law enforcement/corrections officers experience may be taken into account
based on skillsets and civilian rank equivalent to the MA’s career path matrix.

Occupational and Readiness Standards (OaRS) to E4
NAVEDTRA 44057
NAME:
These Occupational and Readiness Standards (OaRS) may be used to validate minimum competencies for performing various rating-
specific tasks in paygrade E4 in this rating. OaRS is based on the Occupational Standards (OCCSTDs) for the rating/paygrade. An E4
should possess the minimum competencies of their rating/paygrade, whereby OaRS may provide benefits as a tool to train towards and
track those competencies achieved.

OaRS does not address ship/unit/system specific standards, which may be covered within Personnel Qualification Standards (PQS),
Job Qualification Requirements (JQR), or local training/qualification programs. OaRS addresses the overall rating at the E4 level, not
the Sailor’s position, billet, or duty assignment.

Generally, each OaRS task area encompasses one or more occupational standards on the same or similar subjects and is written in
on-the-job rating language. Completion indicates the Sailor can perform the tasks or can articulate knowledge of the tasks. If
circumstances exist that limits a Sailor’s ability to effectively demonstrate any OaRS task element due to equipment configuration,
mission, or operational status, the Sailor can seek training or understanding from his/her peers, leadership, or refer to technical
manuals.

OaRS completion is voluntary and is not designed to replace other qualification programs (e.g. PQS, JQR). OaRS items that duplicate
"sign off" items in these types of programs can be signed off if they have already been signed off under any of these types of programs.

Task signatures are completed between the Sailor and the Sailor’s supervisor, Leading Petty Officer (LPO) or E5 or above designee.
Task sections are signed off by the Division Leading Chief or designee. Endorsement of completion of all OaRS tasks/sections are
validated by the Division Officer, Department LCPO, Department Head, and Command Career Counselor (CCC).

community health, but also provides qualified Sailors with an opportunity to resume or begin a career in the AC/TAR. This
component change refers to a permanent transfer from RC2AC/TAR. This voluntary program enables qualified, eligible enlisted
RC Sailors to submit applications in Career Waypoints (C-WAY) based on available quotas published on the Bureau of Naval
Personnel (BUPERS), Enlisted Community Manager (BUPERS-32) webpage at: [Link]

Canvasser Recruiter (CANREC)


The Canvasser Recruiter (CANREC) Recall Program is a voluntary and temporary recall program for RC personnel to serve as
production recruiters in support of the Navy Prior Service recruiting mission. Personnel eligible to volunteer for a Definite (also
termed as “temporary”) Recall to Active Duty (ACDU) as a CANREC are Reserve Component (RC) members, specifically
Selected Reserve (SELRES), Individual Ready Reserve (IRR-ASP), and Voluntary Training Unit (VTU) personnel.
For additional information, go to:
[Link]

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 reenlistment
intentions. Sailors who do not desire to reenlist will submit an "intends to separate" application. Sailors not eligible for
reenlistment will submit a "not eligible" application.
The Career Waypoints system automatically generates most of the applications needed by Sailors. Applications must be
submitted 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) will
submit an application 15 months prior to their PRD. In either case, the Career Waypoints system will automatically generate
MA - Master-At-Arms Page 36 of 186
applications for Sailors 18 months prior to either timeframe. Applications required outside of the established C-Way gates
can be submitted as Special Circumstance applications. Examples of when these may be needed include OBLISERVE for
special 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 month
from S/EAOS/EOS mark and must be submitted by the Command Career Counselor at the 16 month mark. This provides
time 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, and
Selected Reserve. The second review gate occurs from 12 to 9 months from S/EAOS/EOS with career choice options of
conversion and Selected Reserve. From 8 months to 4 months to S/EAOS/EOS the Sailor can only choose Selected
Reserve 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

RC to AC/TAR

AC/TAR to CIP (Intermission)

Canvasser Recruiter
Intend to separate
Not eligible

In February 2014, C-Way delivered auto-approval capabilities to provide reenlistment decisions on S/EAOS/EOS applications
more 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 for
reenlistment, and your application is submitted with correct data it will be auto-approved and returned immediately, and you
can reenlist.
If you are in a "competitive" rating or a balanced rating but not an undermanned year group, then your application will be
processed through the monthly Rack and Stack process. Applications submitted in one month are processed in Rack and
Stack the following month.
For Nuclear ratings, all applications are reviewed by enlisted community managers on an ongoing basis throughout the
processing month.
If required data is missing (evaluations, Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) data, security clearance etc.) the application
will be denied with a note to your career counselor regarding what needs to be fixed. It is critical the Command Career
Counselor 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 Monthly
report section of the Career Waypoint system.

JOB DESCRIPTION
The MA rating provides the Navy with security specialists who perform antiterrorism, physical security, and law enforcement
duties (force protection) on land and at sea. Due to the unique functions of the MA, strict adherence to eligibility criteria must
be maintained. MAs are the Navy’s Security Force professionals. An MA may operate a security watercraft, perform
sentry/LE/traffic duties, or supervise a K-9 asset. As an MA3, you are responsible for the supervision and training of those
MAs assigned under you.

RECOMMENDED BILLET ASSIGNMENTS


Having successfully completed a first tour, you should seek out an assignment (based on your Sea-Shore Flow) which will
help broaden your experiences and skills. Consider a tour in a different mission area to help round yourself out. Tours in
forward deployed units, at Strategic Weapons Facility sites, Sea commands, OCONUS shore and Expeditionary units offer
opportunities to expand on knowledge and skills gained. The Navy needs well rounded MA’s. If you remain in the same
mission area, choose orders that will take you to a different part of the same mission area, give you a new job with a
different perspective on the same mission, or are located at a different geographic location.

United Services Military Apprenticeship Program (USMAP): USMAP is available to most active duty occupations and is
certified by the U.S. Department of Labor. This is the largest apprenticeship program operating in the U.S. and is recognized by
all 50 states. Completion of one of these programs would qualify you as a journeyman, which could mean a significantly higher
starting salary in the civilian work force. Most programs require 5-8 years to complete but are transferable if you decide to leave
the service prior to completion. USMAP opportunities also exist for SELRES with orders over 12 months.

The following USMAP apprenticeships are applicable to the MA-Master-At-Arms rating.

MilGears: MilGears leverages the COOL platform to provide Service members with a personalized, self-assessment of the
individual’s military training & experience and off-duty education & credentialing, for the purposes of providing
recommendations and next steps to pursue and achieve industry credentialing, in-service advancement, and ultimately post-
service employment. Use MilGears to build a comprehensive record that captures all the learning, experience, and related skills
you’ve gained to support preparation for career advancement. MilGears will provides multiple search methods to find
credentials that can help build your subject matter expertise related to your military career, as well as prepare you for a career
after transition. Use your time in service to pursue certifications, education, and experience that can help you achieve your goals.

Of the several tools found on MilGears, the two most common that Sailors would use are the Engage My Career Tool and the
Quick Explorer Tool.

ENGAGE MY CAREER TOOL

The Engage My Career (EMC) Tool, available from the MilGears home page, analyzes your unique history to provide
customized results. The EMC Tool looks at what you've done in the military to date by guiding you through a series of questions
that collect information such as: your rating, pay grade, duty station history, training, NECs, qualifications (applicable to Mariner
careers), and civilian education or credentials. The EMC Tool then takes this information and helps you determine your best path
forward by showing you the possible occupation options you may be eligible for based on your current experience.

Customized output includes:

Civilian occupations that may be attainable or nearly attainable.


Apprenticeships, certifications, and education that can help you fill training gaps or that could make you more competitive
in the job market.
How You Stack Up - a detailed view of how you compare to the typical requirements for civilian occupations and
credentials.
Next Steps - recommendations to fill gaps to enter an occupational field.

QUICK EXPLORER TOOL

The Quick Explorer Tool, available from the MilGears home page, allows Service members to explore occupations without
uploading personal information.

The following areas are available for exploration:

Credentials - explore pathways related to a specific credential such as a degree, a certification, a USMAP apprenticeship
or a federal license.
Career Goals - explore pathways based on career goals through job family, industry and more.
Military Occupation - explore pathways by MOC to view ‘best-fit’ pathways based your military occupation. Pathways
include academic, industry, apprenticeship, cross-rate opportunities, and post-service employment opportunities.
Interests - answer a series of questions designed to discover your personal interests and connect them to career
pathways.

SkillBridge: The Navy's SkillBridge program is an opportunity for Sailors to gain valuable civilian work experience through
specific industry training, apprenticeships, or internships during the last 180 days of service. SkillBridge connects Sailors with
MA - Master-At-Arms Page 56 of 186
DOD approved industry partners in real-world job experiences. For Sailors SkillBridge provides an invaluable chance to work
and learn in civilian career areas. For DOD approved industry partners SkillBridge is an opportunity to access and leverage the
world’s most highly trained and motivated workforce at no cost. Sailors participating in SkillBridge receive their military
compensation and benefits, and industry partners provide the training and work experience.

Each Navy command establishes local SkillBridge participation procedures.

community health, but also provides qualified Sailors with an opportunity to resume or begin a career in the AC/TAR. This
component change refers to a permanent transfer from RC2AC/TAR. This voluntary program enables qualified, eligible enlisted
RC Sailors to submit applications in Career Waypoints (C-WAY) based on available quotas published on the Bureau of Naval
Personnel (BUPERS), Enlisted Community Manager (BUPERS-32) webpage at: [Link]

Canvasser Recruiter (CANREC)


The Canvasser Recruiter (CANREC) Recall Program is a voluntary and temporary recall program for RC personnel to serve as
production recruiters in support of the Navy Prior Service recruiting mission. Personnel eligible to volunteer for a Definite (also
termed as “temporary”) Recall to Active Duty (ACDU) as a CANREC are Reserve Component (RC) members, specifically
Selected 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 reenlistment
intentions. Sailors who do not desire to reenlist will submit an "intends to separate" application. Sailors not eligible for
reenlistment will submit a "not eligible" application.
The Career Waypoints system automatically generates most of the applications needed by Sailors. Applications must be
submitted 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) will
submit an application 15 months prior to their PRD. In either case, the Career Waypoints system will automatically generate
MA - Master-At-Arms Page 58 of 186
applications for Sailors 18 months prior to either timeframe. Applications required outside of the established C-Way gates
can be submitted as Special Circumstance applications. Examples of when these may be needed include OBLISERVE for
special 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 month
from S/EAOS/EOS mark and must be submitted by the Command Career Counselor at the 16 month mark. This provides
time 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, and
Selected Reserve. The second review gate occurs from 12 to 9 months from S/EAOS/EOS with career choice options of
conversion and Selected Reserve. From 8 months to 4 months to S/EAOS/EOS the Sailor can only choose Selected
Reserve 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 TAR to TAR
RC to AC/TAR
RC to RC
AC/TAR to CIP (Intermission)
AC/TAR 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 applications
more 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 for
reenlistment, and your application is submitted with correct data it will be auto-approved and returned immediately, and you
can reenlist.
If you are in a "competitive" rating or a balanced rating but not an undermanned year group, then your application will be
processed through the monthly Rack and Stack process. Applications submitted in one month are processed in Rack and
Stack the following month.
For Nuclear ratings, all applications are reviewed by enlisted community managers on an ongoing basis throughout the
processing month.
If required data is missing (evaluations, Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) data, security clearance etc.) the application
will be denied with a note to your career counselor regarding what needs to be fixed. It is critical the Command Career
Counselor 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 Monthly
report section of the Career Waypoint system.

JOB DESCRIPTION
The MA rating provides the Navy with security specialists who perform antiterrorism, physical security, and law enforcement
duties (force protection) on land and at sea. Due to the unique functions of the MA, strict adherence to eligibility criteria must
be maintained. MAs are the Navy’s Security Force professionals. An MA may operate a security watercraft, perform
sentry/LE/traffic duties, or supervise a K-9 asset. As an MA2, you are now expected to mentor as well as supervise and
train junior MAs in a wide range of occupational competencies. MA2s are the backbone of the Security Force, acting as
mobile supervisors, trainers and technical experts.

RECOMMENDED BILLET ASSIGNMENTS


A wide range of training and NEC opportunities exist for an MA2. Whether stationed at a deployable unit or at an installation
security or training command, you should make the most of the training you have been provided to function as part of a
larger team. Regardless of what type of duty station you select, you should expect to be relied upon more by junior
personnel as both a mentor and trainer, and held to a higher standard of technical expertise by your seniors. Also, if you
have not earned a warfare qualification by now, you should consider orders where you can earn a qualification. Rotations
involving NEC producing schools such as but not limited to, Crew Serve Weapons Instructor, Small Arms Marksmanship
Instructor (SAMI), Brig/Corrections, and Military Working Dog Handler are available to further enhance your skills and
training.

Customized output includes:

Civilian occupations that may be attainable or nearly attainable.


Apprenticeships, certifications, and education that can help you fill training gaps or that could make you more competitive
in the job market.
How You Stack Up - a detailed view of how you compare to the typical requirements for civilian occupations and
credentials.
Next Steps - recommendations to fill gaps to enter an occupational field.

QUICK EXPLORER TOOL

The Quick Explorer Tool, available from the MilGears home page, allows Service members to explore occupations without
uploading personal information.

The following areas are available for exploration:

Credentials - explore pathways related to a specific credential such as a degree, a certification, a USMAP apprenticeship
or a federal license.
Career Goals - explore pathways based on career goals through job family, industry and more.
Military Occupation - explore pathways by MOC to view ‘best-fit’ pathways based your military occupation. Pathways
include academic, industry, apprenticeship, cross-rate opportunities, and post-service employment opportunities.

pathways.

SkillBridge: The Navy's SkillBridge program is an opportunity for Sailors to gain valuable civilian work experience through
specific industry training, apprenticeships, or internships during the last 180 days of service. SkillBridge connects Sailors with
MA - Master-At-Arms Page 79 of 186
DOD approved industry partners in real-world job experiences. For Sailors SkillBridge provides an invaluable chance to work
and learn in civilian career areas. For DOD approved industry partners SkillBridge is an opportunity to access and leverage the
world’s most highly trained and motivated workforce at no cost. Sailors participating in SkillBridge receive their military
compensation and benefits, and industry partners provide the training and work experience.

Each Navy command establishes local SkillBridge participation procedures.

(RC2AC/TAR). This not only leverages existing skill sets that reside in the RC population to improve and maintain AC
community health, but also provides qualified Sailors with an opportunity to resume or begin a career in the AC/TAR. This
component change refers to a permanent transfer from RC2AC/TAR. This voluntary program enables qualified, eligible enlisted
RC Sailors to submit applications in Career Waypoints (C-WAY) based on available quotas published on the Bureau of Naval
Personnel (BUPERS), Enlisted Community Manager (BUPERS-32) webpage at: [Link]
Management/Community-Management/Enlisted/Selected-Reserves/.

Canvasser Recruiter (CANREC)


The Canvasser Recruiter (CANREC) Recall Program is a voluntary and temporary recall program for RC personnel to serve as
production recruiters in support of the Navy Prior Service recruiting mission. Personnel eligible to volunteer for a Definite (also
termed as “temporary”) Recall to Active Duty (ACDU) as a CANREC are Reserve Component (RC) members, specifically
Selected 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 reenlistment
intentions. Sailors who do not desire to reenlist will submit an "intends to separate" application. Sailors not eligible for
reenlistment will submit a "not eligible" application.
The Career Waypoints system automatically generates most of the applications needed by Sailors. Applications must be
submitted 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) will
submit an application 15 months prior to their PRD. In either case, the Career Waypoints system will automatically generate
MA - Master-At-Arms Page 81 of 186
applications for Sailors 18 months prior to either timeframe. Applications required outside of the established C-Way gates
can be submitted as Special Circumstance applications. Examples of when these may be needed include OBLISERVE for
special 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 month
from S/EAOS/EOS mark and must be submitted by the Command Career Counselor at the 16 month mark. This provides
time 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, and
Selected Reserve. The second review gate occurs from 12 to 9 months from S/EAOS/EOS with career choice options of
conversion and Selected Reserve. From 8 months to 4 months to S/EAOS/EOS the Sailor can only choose Selected
Reserve 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 TAR to TAR
RC to AC/TAR
RC to RC
AC/TAR to CIP (Intermission)
AC/TAR 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 applications
more 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 for
reenlistment, and your application is submitted with correct data it will be auto-approved and returned immediately, and you
can reenlist.
If you are in a "competitive" rating or a balanced rating but not an undermanned year group, then your application will be
processed through the monthly Rack and Stack process. Applications submitted in one month are processed in Rack and
Stack the following month.
For Nuclear ratings, all applications are reviewed by enlisted community managers on an ongoing basis throughout the
processing month.
If required data is missing (evaluations, Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) data, security clearance etc.) the application
will be denied with a note to your career counselor regarding what needs to be fixed. It is critical the Command Career
Counselor 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 Monthly
report section of the Career Waypoint system.
For additional guidance, see MILPERSMAN 1160-140, NAVADMIN 231/17, and your Career Counselor

who 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 is
subject to Needs of the Navy (NOTN) and provided the Sailor remains fully qualified.

JOB DESCRIPTION
The MA rating provides the Navy with security specialists who perform antiterrorism, physical security, and law enforcement
duties (force protection) on land and at sea. Due to the unique functions of the MA, strict adherence to eligibility criteria must
be maintained. MAs are the Navy’s Security Force professionals. An MA may operate a security watercraft, perform
sentry/LE/traffic duties, or supervise a K-9 asset. As an MA1, you are now expected to lead, mentor and train junior MAs,
while being relied upon as the Subject Matter Expert in a wide range of occupational competencies.

RECOMMENDED BILLET ASSIGNMENTS


As an MA1, you should seek out billets where you can develop your leadership skills. You may be eligible for some
Independent Duty MA jobs onboard small ships, or other supervisory positions. Make sure that you have a well rounded
career, with tours in several different mission areas. Rotations involving NEC producing schools, such as Personal
Protective Service, Military Police Investigator, Brig/Corrections, and Military Working Dog Kennel Master are available to
further enhance your skills and training. Additionally, Antiterrorism Officer (ATO) and Instructor producing billets can expand
your leadership abilities. Take advantage of opportunities to obtain secondary warfare qualifications.

SELECTION BOARD CHECKLIST FOR E6 PROMOTION TO CPO

Step 1 - Review your Official Record to see what documentation, qualifications, etc. may be missing or requiring an
update. This should be accomplished every six months after promotion to Second Class. However, it is imperative that
this is accomplished six months prior to a selection board. Check the following three major sections to verify your Official
Record:
a. BUPERS Online: BUPERS Online ([Link] 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
OMPF option on the BOL main menu page.
2. Check your Performance Summary Record (PSR) and Enlisted Summary Record (ESR) on
[Link] click on the "ODC, OSR, PSR, ESR" link.
b. Electronic Service Record (ESR) Self-Service ESR: This can be viewed at ([Link] 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 make corrections or updates.
d. US Navy Awards website: Log in to [Link] and click NPC command document services to
review any awards through Navy Department of Awards Web Service (NDAWS) you may qualify for but were
unaware of.
e. Physical Readiness Information Management System (PRIMS): To log in to PRIMS, first log in to My Navy Portal
(MNP) at [Link] PRIMS can be accessed under the "Performance" tab.
f. EOSH: The Federal Agency Employee Occupational Safety and Health (EOSH) Toolkit is available at
[Link] It provides a one-stop-shop website that includes "just in time"
information about maintaining a safe and healthful workplace.

Step 2 - Submit appropriate missing documents to the selection board.


a. Selection board packages provide candidates the opportunity to submit any documents missing from the sections
of their records which are viewed by the selection boards. MILPERSMAN 1070-080 specifies which documents
from the enlisted permanent personnel record are provided to the selection board for review. Any documents the
member has verified as missing from those sections of their permanent personnel record may be submitted as a
selection board package.
b. For submissions directly to the board and for those circumstances where the eligible candidate cannot get their
official record updated and confirmed prior to the selection board convening date:
From the BOL main menu, select "Navy Personnel Command Document Services," Start Process, Selection
Board and LTB. On-screen instructions will direct the submitter thereafter. Submissions should be prepared
with attachments (if applicable), prior to initiating their LTB. There is no save and return function between BOL
sessions. Submitters will receive an e-mail confirmation regarding the status of their submitted LTB.
Submission and subsequent receipt acknowledgement for LTBs submitted via ESSBD or other means does
not constitute confirmation of eligibility for the boards to which LTBs are submitted. If required, a full visual
user guide is available at [Link]
c. Ensure official record reflects any individual augmentation mission (awards, evals, NEC, etc).

NOTE: It is highly recommended that if corrections or updates are made, review your OMPF to confirm
changes.

MA - Master-At-Arms Page 93 of 186


Step 3 - After reviewing your service record - such as evaluations, awards, qualifications, etc. - start reviewing what you
can do to improve yourself, such as:
a. Request a Career Development Board (CDB) through your chain of command.
b. Take a good, hard look at the type of Collateral Duties you are assigned. Review your command collateral duties
instruction and talk with your COC and / or appear before the CDB. Take the tough command duties that provide
the most involvement in the command as a whole and that have direct Sailor support.
c. Review your current level of education to see how far along you are in earning a college degree and pursue non-
resident Navy courses to expand your level of knowledge. Complete the Navy e-Learning courses on MNP that
are recommended in this document. Check Navy COOL ([Link] for any related credentials
for which you may be qualified.
d. Check out OTHER Learning Opportunities to add to your service record, such as the CANTRAC Volume I
(Training Facilities) and CANTRAC Volume II (Course Descriptions) at
[Link]

Step 4 - Review qualifications that your rating values or requires for advancement and create a plan to earn these
important pieces in the professional growth and advancement puzzle. Read the applicable NAVADMIN for additional
dates and information, and review previous selection board precepts.

Step 5 - Prepare for the next CPO Advancement Exam cycle in January for Active Duty & February for Reserves as
soon as the Bibliography References are posted six months prior in July. Use the Navy Advancement Center info and
website listed above in the advancement section.

MilGears: MilGears leverages the COOL platform to provide Service members with a personalized, self-assessment of the
individual’s military training & experience and off-duty education & credentialing, for the purposes of providing
recommendations and next steps to pursue and achieve industry credentialing, in-service advancement, and ultimately post-
service employment. Use MilGears to build a comprehensive record that captures all the learning, experience, and related skills
you’ve gained to support preparation for career advancement. MilGears will provides multiple search methods to find
credentials that can help build your subject matter expertise related to your military career, as well as prepare you for a career
after transition. Use your time in service to pursue certifications, education, and experience that can help you achieve your goals.

Of the several tools found on MilGears, the two most common that Sailors would use are the Engage My Career Tool and the
Quick Explorer Tool.

ENGAGE MY CAREER TOOL

The Engage My Career (EMC) Tool, available from the MilGears home page, analyzes your unique history to provide
customized results. The EMC Tool looks at what you've done in the military to date by guiding you through a series of questions
that collect information such as: your rating, pay grade, duty station history, training, NECs, qualifications (applicable to Mariner
careers), and civilian education or credentials. The EMC Tool then takes this information and helps you determine your best path
forward by showing you the possible occupation options you may be eligible for based on your current experience.

Customized output includes:

Civilian occupations that may be attainable or nearly attainable.


Apprenticeships, certifications, and education that can help you fill training gaps or that could make you more competitive
in the job market.
How You Stack Up - a detailed view of how you compare to the typical requirements for civilian occupations and
credentials.
Next Steps - recommendations to fill gaps to enter an occupational field.

QUICK EXPLORER TOOL

The Quick Explorer Tool, available from the MilGears home page, allows Service members to explore occupations without
uploading personal information.

The following areas are available for exploration:

Credentials - explore pathways related to a specific credential such as a degree, a certification, a USMAP apprenticeship
or a federal license.
Career Goals - explore pathways based on career goals through job family, industry and more.
Military Occupation - explore pathways by MOC to view ‘best-fit’ pathways based your military occupation. Pathways
include academic, industry, apprenticeship, cross-rate opportunities, and post-service employment opportunities.
Interests - answer a series of questions designed to discover your personal interests and connect them to career
pathways.

Canvasser Recruiter (CANREC)


The Canvasser Recruiter (CANREC) Recall Program is a voluntary and temporary recall program for RC personnel to serve as
production recruiters in support of the Navy Prior Service recruiting mission. Personnel eligible to volunteer for a Definite (also
termed as “temporary”) Recall to Active Duty (ACDU) as a CANREC are Reserve Component (RC) members, specifically
Selected Reserve (SELRES), Individual Ready Reserve (IRR-ASP), and Voluntary Training Unit (VTU) personnel.
For additional information, go to:
[Link]

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 reenlistment
intentions. Sailors who do not desire to reenlist will submit an "intends to separate" application. Sailors not eligible for
reenlistment will submit a "not eligible" application.
The Career Waypoints system automatically generates most of the applications needed by Sailors. Applications must be
submitted 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) will
submit an application 15 months prior to their PRD. In either case, the Career Waypoints system will automatically generate
MA - Master-At-Arms Page 105 of 186
applications for Sailors 18 months prior to either timeframe. Applications required outside of the established C-Way gates
can be submitted as Special Circumstance applications. Examples of when these may be needed include OBLISERVE for
special 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 month
from S/EAOS/EOS mark and must be submitted by the Command Career Counselor at the 16 month mark. This provides
time 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, and
Selected Reserve. The second review gate occurs from 12 to 9 months from S/EAOS/EOS with career choice options of
conversion and Selected Reserve. From 8 months to 4 months to S/EAOS/EOS the Sailor can only choose Selected
Reserve 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 TAR to TAR
RC to AC/TAR
RC to RC
AC/TAR to CIP (Intermission)
AC/TAR 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 applications
more 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 for
reenlistment, and your application is submitted with correct data it will be auto-approved and returned immediately, and you
can reenlist.
If you are in a "competitive" rating or a balanced rating but not an undermanned year group, then your application will be
processed through the monthly Rack and Stack process. Applications submitted in one month are processed in Rack and
Stack the following month.
For Nuclear ratings, all applications are reviewed by enlisted community managers on an ongoing basis throughout the
processing month.
If required data is missing (evaluations, Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) data, security clearance etc.) the application
will be denied with a note to your career counselor regarding what needs to be fixed. It is critical the Command Career
Counselor 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 Monthly

JOB DESCRIPTION
The MA rating provides the Navy with security specialists who perform antiterrorism, physical security, and law enforcement
duties (force protection) on land and at sea. Due to the unique functions of the MA, strict adherence to eligibility criteria must
be maintained. MAs are the Navy’s Security Force professionals. An MA may operate a security watercraft, perform
sentry/LE/traffic duties, or supervise a K-9 asset. As an MAC, you will be called upon to run and manage entire programs,
and mentor and lead entire divisions and departments.

RECOMMENDED BILLET ASSIGNMENTS


As an MAC, look for challenging billets outside your skill area. Overseas security departments, NECC commands, or other
deployable units need your valuable leadership and management skills. Consider a command where you can earn an
additional warfare qualification.

SELECTION BOARD CHECKLIST FOR CPO PROMOTION TO SCPO

Step 1 - Review your Official Record to see what documentation, qualifications, etc. may be missing or requiring an
update. This should be accomplished every six months after promotion to Second Class. However, it is imperative that
this is accomplished six months prior to a selection board. Check the following three major sections to verify your Official
Record:
a. BUPERS Online: BUPERS Online ([Link] 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
OMPF option on the BOL main menu page.
2. Check your Performance Summary Record (PSR) and Enlisted Summary Record (ESR) on
[Link] click on the "ODC, OSR, PSR, ESR" link.
b. Electronic Service Record (ESR) Self-Service ESR: This can be viewed at ([Link] 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 make corrections or updates.
d. US Navy Awards website: Log in to [Link] and click NPC command document services to
review any awards through Navy Department of Awards Web Service (NDAWS) you may qualify for but were
unaware of.
e. Physical Readiness Information Management System (PRIMS): To log in to PRIMS, first log in to My Navy Portal
(MNP) at [Link] PRIMS can be accessed under the "Performance" tab.
f. EOSH: The Federal Agency Employee Occupational Safety and Health (EOSH) Toolkit is available at
[Link] It provides a one-stop-shop website that includes "just in time"
information about maintaining a safe and healthful workplace.

Step 2 - Submit appropriate missing documents to the selection board.


a. Selection board packages provide candidates the opportunity to submit any documents missing from the sections
of their records which are viewed by the selection boards. MILPERSMAN 1070-080 specifies which documents
from the enlisted permanent personnel record are provided to the selection board for review. Any documents the
member has verified as missing from those sections of their permanent personnel record may be submitted as a
selection board package.
b. For submissions directly to the board and for those circumstances where the eligible candidate cannot get their
official record updated and confirmed prior to the selection board convening date:
From the BOL main menu, select "Navy Personnel Command Document Services," Start Process, Selection
Board and LTB. On-screen instructions will direct the submitter thereafter. Submissions should be prepared
with attachments (if applicable), prior to initiating their LTB. There is no save and return function between BOL
sessions. Submitters will receive an e-mail confirmation regarding the status of their submitted LTB.
Submission and subsequent receipt acknowledgement for LTBs submitted via ESSBD or other means does
not constitute confirmation of eligibility for the boards to which LTBs are submitted. If required, a full visual
user guide is available at [Link]
c. Ensure official record reflects any individual augmentation mission (awards, evals, NEC, etc).

NOTE: It is highly recommended that if corrections or updates are made, review your OMPF to confirm
changes.

MA - Master-At-Arms Page 118 of 186


Step 3 - After reviewing your service record - such as evaluations, awards, qualifications, etc. - start reviewing what you
can do to improve yourself, such as:
a. Request a Career Development Board (CDB) through your chain of command.
b. Take a good, hard look at the type of Collateral Duties you are assigned. Review your command collateral duties
instruction and talk with your COC and / or appear before the CDB. Take the tough command duties that provide
the most involvement in the command as a whole and that have direct Sailor support.
c. Review your current level of education to see how far along you are in earning a college degree and pursue non-
resident Navy courses to expand your level of knowledge. Complete the Navy e-Learning courses on MNP that
are recommended in this document. Check Navy COOL ([Link] for any related credentials
for which you may be qualified.
d. Check out OTHER Learning Opportunities to add to your service record, such as the CANTRAC Volume I
(Training Facilities) and CANTRAC Volume II (Course Descriptions) at
[Link]

Step 4 - Review qualifications that your rating values or requires for advancement and create a plan to earn these
important pieces in the professional growth and advancement puzzle. Read the applicable NAVADMIN for additional
dates and information, and review previous selection board precepts.

MilGears: MilGears leverages the COOL platform to provide Service members with a personalized, self-assessment of the
individual’s military training & experience and off-duty education & credentialing, for the purposes of providing
recommendations and next steps to pursue and achieve industry credentialing, in-service advancement, and ultimately post-
service employment. Use MilGears to build a comprehensive record that captures all the learning, experience, and related skills
you’ve gained to support preparation for career advancement. MilGears will provides multiple search methods to find
credentials that can help build your subject matter expertise related to your military career, as well as prepare you for a career
after transition. Use your time in service to pursue certifications, education, and experience that can help you achieve your goals.

Of the several tools found on MilGears, the two most common that Sailors would use are the Engage My Career Tool and the
Quick Explorer Tool.

ENGAGE MY CAREER TOOL

The Engage My Career (EMC) Tool, available from the MilGears home page, analyzes your unique history to provide
customized results. The EMC Tool looks at what you've done in the military to date by guiding you through a series of questions
that collect information such as: your rating, pay grade, duty station history, training, NECs, qualifications (applicable to Mariner
careers), and civilian education or credentials. The EMC Tool then takes this information and helps you determine your best path
forward by showing you the possible occupation options you may be eligible for based on your current experience.

Customized output includes:

Civilian occupations that may be attainable or nearly attainable.


Apprenticeships, certifications, and education that can help you fill training gaps or that could make you more competitive
in the job market.
How You Stack Up - a detailed view of how you compare to the typical requirements for civilian occupations and
credentials.
Next Steps - recommendations to fill gaps to enter an occupational field.

QUICK EXPLORER TOOL

The Quick Explorer Tool, available from the MilGears home page, allows Service members to explore occupations without
uploading personal information.

The following areas are available for exploration:

Credentials - explore pathways related to a specific credential such as a degree, a certification, a USMAP apprenticeship
or a federal license.
Career Goals - explore pathways based on career goals through job family, industry and more.
Military Occupation - explore pathways by MOC to view ‘best-fit’ pathways based your military occupation. Pathways
include academic, industry, apprenticeship, cross-rate opportunities, and post-service employment opportunities.
Interests - answer a series of questions designed to discover your personal interests and connect them to career
pathways.

JOB DESCRIPTION
The MA rating provides the Navy with security specialists who perform antiterrorism, physical security, and law enforcement
duties (force protection) on land and at sea. Due to the unique functions of the MA, strict adherence to eligibility criteria must
be maintained. MAs are the Navy’s Security Force professionals. An MA may operate a security watercraft, perform
sentry/LE/traffic duties, or supervise a K-9 asset. As an MACS, you will be called upon to run and manage entire programs,
and mentor and lead entire divisions and departments.

RECOMMENDED BILLET ASSIGNMENTS


As a MACS, look for billets at large commands where you will be able to supervise programs. Larger Security
Departments, CVNs, and expeditionary units will offer more leadership opportunities in an operational environment. Also
consider staff billets with any of the TYCOM or Fleet HQs, where you can help those in your community and provide your
expertise to a wider audience.

SELECTION BOARD CHECKLIST FOR SCPO PROMOTION TO MCPO

Step 1 - Review your Official Record to see what documentation, qualifications, etc. may be missing or requiring an
update. This should be accomplished every six months after promotion to Second Class. However, it is imperative that
this is accomplished six months prior to a selection board. Check the following three major sections to verify your Official
Record:
a. BUPERS Online: BUPERS Online ([Link] 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
OMPF option on the BOL main menu page.
2. Check your Performance Summary Record (PSR) and Enlisted Summary Record (ESR) on
[Link] click on the "ODC, OSR, PSR, ESR" link.
b. Electronic Service Record (ESR) Self-Service ESR: This can be viewed at ([Link] 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 make corrections or updates.
d. US Navy Awards website: Log in to [Link] and click NPC command document services to
review any awards through Navy Department of Awards Web Service (NDAWS) you may qualify for but were
unaware of.
e. Physical Readiness Information Management System (PRIMS): To log in to PRIMS, first log in to My Navy Portal
(MNP) at [Link] PRIMS can be accessed under the "Performance" tab.
f. EOSH: The Federal Agency Employee Occupational Safety and Health (EOSH) Toolkit is available at
[Link] It provides a one-stop-shop website that includes "just in time"
information about maintaining a safe and healthful workplace.

Step 2 - Submit appropriate missing documents to the selection board.


a. Selection board packages provide candidates the opportunity to submit any documents missing from the sections
of their records which are viewed by the selection boards. MILPERSMAN 1070-080 specifies which documents
from the enlisted permanent personnel record are provided to the selection board for review. Any documents the
member has verified as missing from those sections of their permanent personnel record may be submitted as a
selection board package.
b. For submissions directly to the board and for those circumstances where the eligible candidate cannot get their
official record updated and confirmed prior to the selection board convening date:
From the BOL main menu, select "Navy Personnel Command Document Services," Start Process, Selection
Board and LTB. On-screen instructions will direct the submitter thereafter. Submissions should be prepared
with attachments (if applicable), prior to initiating their LTB. There is no save and return function between BOL
sessions. Submitters will receive an e-mail confirmation regarding the status of their submitted LTB.
Submission and subsequent receipt acknowledgement for LTBs submitted via ESSBD or other means does
not constitute confirmation of eligibility for the boards to which LTBs are submitted. If required, a full visual
user guide is available at [Link]
c. Ensure official record reflects any individual augmentation mission (awards, evals, NEC, etc).

NOTE: It is highly recommended that if corrections or updates are made, review your OMPF to confirm
changes.

MA - Master-At-Arms Page 141 of 186


Step 3 - After reviewing your service record - such as evaluations, awards, qualifications, etc. - start reviewing what you
can do to improve yourself, such as:
a. Request a Career Development Board (CDB) through your chain of command.
b. Take a good, hard look at the type of Collateral Duties you are assigned. Review your command collateral duties
instruction and talk with your COC and / or appear before the CDB. Take the tough command duties that provide
the most involvement in the command as a whole and that have direct Sailor support.
c. Review your current level of education to see how far along you are in earning a college degree and pursue non-
resident Navy courses to expand your level of knowledge. Complete the Navy e-Learning courses on MNP that
are recommended in this document. Check Navy COOL ([Link] for any related credentials
for which you may be qualified.
d. Check out OTHER Learning Opportunities to add to your service record, such as the CANTRAC Volume I
(Training Facilities) and CANTRAC Volume II (Course Descriptions) at
[Link]

Step 4 - Review qualifications that your rating values or requires for advancement and create a plan to earn these
important pieces in the professional growth and advancement puzzle. Read the applicable NAVADMIN for additional
dates and information, and review previous selection board precepts.

credentials.
Next Steps - recommendations to fill gaps to enter an occupational field.

QUICK EXPLORER TOOL

The Quick Explorer Tool, available from the MilGears home page, allows Service members to explore occupations without
uploading personal information.

The following areas are available for exploration:

Credentials - explore pathways related to a specific credential such as a degree, a certification, a USMAP apprenticeship
or a federal license.
Career Goals - explore pathways based on career goals through job family, industry and more.
Military Occupation - explore pathways by MOC to view ‘best-fit’ pathways based your military occupation. Pathways

after transition. Use your time in service to pursue certifications, education, and experience that can help you achieve your goals.

Of the several tools found on MilGears, the two most common that Sailors would use are the Engage My Career Tool and the
Quick Explorer Tool.

ENGAGE MY CAREER TOOL

The Engage My Career (EMC) Tool, available from the MilGears home page, analyzes your unique history to provide
customized results. The EMC Tool looks at what you've done in the military to date by guiding you through a series of questions
that collect information such as: your rating, pay grade, duty station history, training, NECs, qualifications (applicable to Mariner
careers), and civilian education or credentials. The EMC Tool then takes this information and helps you determine your best path
forward by showing you the possible occupation options you may be eligible for based on your current experience.

Customized output includes:

Civilian occupations that may be attainable or nearly attainable.


Apprenticeships, certifications, and education that can help you fill training gaps or that could make you more competitive
in the job market.
How You Stack Up - a detailed view of how you compare to the typical requirements for civilian occupations and
credentials.
Next Steps - recommendations to fill gaps to enter an occupational field.

QUICK EXPLORER TOOL

The Quick Explorer Tool, available from the MilGears home page, allows Service members to explore occupations without
uploading personal information.

The following areas are available for exploration:

Credentials - explore pathways related to a specific credential such as a degree, a certification, a USMAP apprenticeship
or a federal license.
Career Goals - explore pathways based on career goals through job family, industry and more.
Military Occupation - explore pathways by MOC to view ‘best-fit’ pathways based your military occupation. Pathways
include academic, industry, apprenticeship, cross-rate opportunities, and post-service employment opportunities.
Interests - answer a series of questions designed to discover your personal interests and connect them to career
pathways.

VOLUNTARY EDUCATION

Note: Prior to considering any pursuit of off duty education or program enrollment contact the Navy College Virtual
Education Center (NCVEC) or visit your Overseas Navy College Office.

You must complete the Tuition Assistance Training before your first course will be approved.

Complete the online courses at the Navy College Website: [Link]

How do I get started?

You already have. All your training up to this point is part of your Master-At-Arms Roadmap. Now that you have made the first
steps you will need to sit down and formulate a plan. This plan will work best if you start out discussing your options with your
Leading Chief Petty Officer, Leading Petty Officer, Mentor, or Career Counselor. They will help you understand all of the basics.
Then your next step is to contact the Navy College Virtual Education Center or visit your Overseas Navy College Office. Then
your counselors will be able to help you formalize your plan and make sure that it makes sense for both you and the Navy. 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 what
kind of degree? What program will help me get there: Traditional or Online? What are my next steps: Transfer credits, take
exams, have experience evaluated, or sign up for new courses?

GENERAL INFORMATION ON VOLUNTARY EDUCATION

The Navy College Program & Web Page:


The Navy College Program (NCP) provides opportunities to Sailors to earn college degrees by providing academic credit for
Navy training, work experience, and off-duty education. The NCP mission is to enable Sailors to obtain a college degree while
on active duty. In support of the four R's - Recruiting, Readiness, Retention, and Respect - the NCP signifies Navy's commitment
to education by improving enlistment appeal; demonstrating Navy service and achieving a college degree are compatible;
helping Sailors apply themselves to new situations and challenges and better preparing them for advancement; building up
Sailors' self-image; and producing higher quality Sailors.
More information is available online at: [Link]

Tuition Assistance (TA):


NAVADMIN 114/19 limit changes as of 1 October 2019: TA provides funds for eligible active-duty personnel to attend approved
educational institutions on an off-duty basis to earn a high school diploma, vocational/technical certificate, or college degree. TA
pays for tuition. TA will pay for the following amount per career: 120 semester hours, or 180-quarter hours or 1800 clock hours or
a combination of semester, quarter and clock hours. TA will pay the following amounts per fiscal year: 12 semester hours, not to
exceed $250/credit for semester hours or 18-quarter hours not-to-exceed $166.67/credit for quarter hours or, 180 clock hours
not-to-exceed $16.67/clock hours or a combination of semester, quarter and clock hours.

More information is available online at: [Link]

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: [Link]

The American Council on Education (ACE)


ACE has reviewed every course listed in the OCCUPATIONAL Roadmap and determined what type of collegiate level credit is
recommended. The ACE identifier, listed with each course, is a source to validate the information and to check for changes as
they occur.
Updates can be found at [Link]

Vocational Certificates
Vocational Certificates are available from most community colleges. Most of your military training can be counted toward their
degree programs, but they will still require residency credits and approximately 40-75 credit hours. These certificates can be as
valuable 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 Education
Centers 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 or
through the base library system. For specific testing locations visit the DANTES website.
Navy College Program: [Link]
DANTES: [Link]

College Entrance Exams Testing ACT, SAT


The ACT and SAT are both standardized tests that help colleges evaluate candidates. Many colleges require that students
submit test results as part of the admission application process. Since Sailors are considered transfer students, these tests are
not generally required for admission. However, some Sailors must take the tests to enter specific military programs.

SAMPLE DEGREE PLAN
NAVY ENLISTED LEADER DEVELOPMENT (ELD) PROGRAM

ELD describes all aspects of enlisted leadership skills training, character development, decision
making, self-awareness and ethics. It occurs when a member participates in leader development
activities, formal education, reading or viewing leadership-related material, discussing leadership
issues, observing leaders in action, and performing as a leader. Effective leader development
includes both formal training and self-directed study and reflection. Navy leaders progress along the
general paths shown in the graphic below. Our Navy will produce leaders and teams who learn
rapidly, make high-quality decisions, and control the high end of maritime conflict.
