If a Sailor decides to separate with an approved quota submit a NAVPERS 1070/613 (page 13) to the ECM so the quota can be returned and made available to other Sailors. Applications for AC and FTS Sailors will be submitted during C-WAY-Reenlistment system-generated application windows. For more detailed information, see MILPERSMAN 1440-010. Applications for RC Sailors requesting a change in rating will be entered though C-WAY-Conversion (formerly RC2RC). a. Applications will be processed by BUPERS-32 (SELRES ECM) in C-WAY in lieu of submission through PERS-8. b. Conversion opportunities will be updated monthly and identified as open or closed. In order to apply, a Sailor's current rating must be open to convert out and their requested rating must be open to convert in. c. Application results and official letters will be available in C-WAY. If approved for direct conversion, the letter will direct the Sailor's command to initiate a change of rate in NSIPS. If conversion has been approved and requires an A-school, contact information and instructions on how to request and schedule the training will be provided. d. All Sailors are encouraged to take the in-service AFCT to update their line scores and improve their conversion opportunities.
