Petty Officer Advancement Exam Results Update:
Due to the COVID-19 mitigation measures put in place for this cycle’s Navy-Wide Advancement Exam, completion of exams was delayed, which has caused a delay in calculating advancement results. Our advancement teams are working hard to ensure that results reflect scores and related multiples. You can expect a public release of advancement results for E4-E6 on Dec. 18.
Since the SELRES exams concluded a full two months later than usual, there will be also be a delay in those advancement results. Results for SELRES should be expected Dec. 24.
Team,

CNRF issued new, Reserve-specific guidance on Jun. 22 for SELRES Sailors travelling to conduct, AT, ADT, and IDTT during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Due to the large number of Active and FTS Sailors eligible and current social distancing required, the U.S. Navy has determined NOT to administer the E-4 exam. A performance-based system will be used for advancement.
See below for more details:
: Due to the large number of Active and FTS Sailors eligible and current social distancing required, the U.S. Navy has determined NOT to administer the E-4 exam. A performance-based system will be used for advancement.
E-5 through E-6 make-up exams will be rescheduled. Read about your exams in NAVADMIN 121/20 below!

RMKS/1. In coordination with Fleet Education Service Officers (ESO) and with assistance from the Fleet Master Chiefs, the Navy advancement team working group developed a tailored approach to close out the Spring Navy Wide Advancement Exam (NWAE) for both active-duty (AD) and Reserve Sailors. Our primary goal continues to be keeping all Sailors safe and healthy, while ensuring every advancement candidate has an equal and fair opportunity to advance despite the challenges of the current COVID-19 environment. This NAVADMIN amplifies guidance contained in reference (a) and contains exam and cycle administration changes to references (b) and (c). Additionally, this NAVADMIN cancels and replaces reference (d).
2. The following applies only to AD and Full-Time Support (FTS) Sailors:
a. E-7 candidates. These Sailors were able to take their exams before COVID-19 mitigation measures were implemented. The selection board eligibility list was published on MyNavy Portal at https://www(dot)mnp(dot)navy(dot)mil/group/navy-advancement-center/my-eso. Additional guidance will be promulgated in a future NAVADMIN, which will detail a revised selection board schedule for all chief petty officer boards.
b. E-5 and E-6 candidates. Regular March exams were administered before COVID-19 mitigation measures were implemented. However, approximately 5,000 substitute exams have not been administered. As such, command ESOs will be given 10 working days from 21 May 2020 through 3 June 2020, to administer substitute exams for these Sailors. ESOs must clearly publish and communicate exam
administration schedules so Sailors are made aware of testing dates and administration sites in advance of this testing window. Commands should implement precautionary measures to ensure Force Health Protection Guidance (FHPG) measures are met in line with reference (e) to include social distancing requirements. This may include providing multiple administration sites to reduce the number of, and spread-out, exam-takers at each site. To minimize the risk of Sailor collusion, ESOs are highly encouraged to administer exams for like ratings on the same day. Following the completion of substitute exams, ESOs must expeditiously mail all answer sheets to the Navy Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC) in accordance with reference (a).
c. E-4 candidates. There are approximately 20,000 exams that were not administered due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Reference (d) rescheduled the E-4 exam to 21 May 2020, however, ex*****on of the exam in May presents high risk to the force. Due to the large number of Sailors eligible to participate in this exam and the added difficulty of administering the exam to all of these Sailors while implementing FHPG measures, the Navy has determined that it is in the best interest and safety of our Sailors to NOT administer the E-4 exam.
(1) As an alternative, those Sailors who were eligible to take the Spring E-4 Cycle 247 exam will have the opportunity for advancement using the rank-order method, a performance-based system that will use current standard Final Multiple Score (FMS) factors without inclusion of an exam score. With the elimination of the exam score the Performance Mark Average will be the dominant factor in determining advancement. FMS factors include the following:
Traditional FMS Rank-Order FMS
Points % Points %
Performance Mark Avg. 64 38% 64 72%
Standard Score 80 47% 0 0%
Awards 10 6% 10 11%
Pass not Advance 9 6% 9 10%
Service In Paygrade 2 1% 2 2%
Education 4 2% 4 5%
Maximum FMS 169 100% 89 100%
This alternate FMS method provides eligible E-4 candidates opportunity for advancement this cycle.
(2) To accurately determine the population of E-4 candidates eligible for advancement using the rank-order method, command ESOs MUST complete all Enlisted Advancement Worksheets (EAW) in the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS). EAW accuracy is particularly important since traditionally, NETPDC uses the candidate exam answer sheet to create a candidate record and establish the advancement eligible population. However, with exam cancellation, NETPDC will not receive answer sheets and will rely on the completed EAW to establish advancement eligibility.
(3) Currently, there are approximately 35,000 unfinished EAWs in NSIPS, which require immediate action by command or regional ESOs (for those units unable to access NSIPS). ESOs are directed to adjudicate all EAWs to reflect the correct eligibility status for their respective Sailors before 21 May 2020 in order to have their records reviewed for the Spring exam (Cycle 247). Command leadership should ensure this process is completed by 21 May 2020 to afford eligible candidates consideration for advancement.
3. The following applies only to Selected Reserve (SELRES) Sailors:
a. E-4 through E-7 candidates. Approximately 83% of all Cycle 106 exams were administered during the NWAE in February 2020. However, close to 3,000 late exams were not administered due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. As such, command ESOs are authorized to test from 1-31 July 2020 since testing for SELRES is dependent on drill weekends, available test sites and candidate availability. Following the completion of late exams, ESOs must expeditiously mail answer sheets to NETPDC.
(1) SELRES E-7 candidates are highly encouraged to participate in the exam at the earliest possible date in July 2020 to ensure selection board eligibility results can be posted prior to the board convening date.
(2) Due to Cycle 106 exam delays, all SELRES E-7 candidates will have an additional three weeks to submit a Letter to the Board (LTB). The new due date for LTB submissions will be 18 May 2020, which correlates to the original convening of the Reserve E-7 board. While FTS E-7 board eligibility has already been published, SELRES E-7 has not. Consequently, all SELRES E-7 candidates are encouraged to submit a LTB prior to the 18 May due date, if desired, just in case they become eligible for the SELRES E-7 board following the publishing of board eligibility. An LTB is not required and should not include information already available within the Official Military Personnel File of a Sailor.
b. ESOs are responsible for ensuring examination dates on the EAW are changed for the approved late examination administrations.
4. Advancement Results. Release of E-4 through E-6 AD/FTS advancement results is anticipated as early as July 2020. SELRES E-4 through E-6 advancement results and E-7 selection board eligibility results can be expected in late August. Results are heavily dependent on commands promptly processing and returning answer sheets.
5. EAW system change. A system change was made to the Cycle 247 (March 2020) E4 EAW, setting the new examination administration date to 21 May 2020. Regardless of when the actual exam is administered, ESOs will have until 21 May 2020 to finalize E-4 Worksheets. For SELRES Cycle 106, ESOs are responsible for ensuring examination dates on the EAW are changed for the approved late examination administrations. No Sailors will gain eligibility for advancement due to the delay/cancellation of exams.
6. Questions and concerns regarding these policy changes may be referred to MyNavy Career Center at askmncc(at)navy(dot)mil or 1-833-330-MNCC (6622).

Team,
I’m sure you have lots of questions as we work through this uncharted territory of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.
Based on recent NAVADMINS and DOD/DON guidance, here is what we know:
- Retirements and separations will continue as scheduled.
- Personnel who are already on leave inside the Continental United States, temporary duty, or Annual Training can remain and complete their plans. Those on leave OCONUS should contact their chain of command.
- I’m tracking at least two folks who were supposed to transfer this week. All PCS moves are on hold with limited exceptions. If you are scheduled to PCS before May 11, you need to contact your detailer directly and communicate the response to your Company Commander/OIC.
- Scheduled leave and temporary duty between 16 March and 11 May are canceled. Only leave in the local Hampton Roads or Jacksonville areas will be approved. If you have a question on whether or not your desired location is considered local, ask your chain of command as we can determine that on a case-by-case basis.
- For our reserve component, all AT/IDTT/ADT scheduled between 16 March until 11 May is canceled to include C-school opportunities. We realize these cancelations impact each of you differently, but we are working to develop multiple makeup opportunities following the travel stand down. I ask that you continue to keep both your NOSC as well as your DET A/B leadership informed of any impacts to your mission readiness that arise from the current situation.
- Schools in the Hampton Roads and Jacksonville areas will be closed for two weeks starting 16 March. This can create some childcare issues with our single, dual military, and dual working parents. We need to remember that all our personnel are valued members of our team and we need you to support our mission.
- If you or your family members are not feeling well and have flu like symptoms, please call the number the Naval Medical Center Portsmouth “Coronavirus Hotline” at 757-953-6200 (Hampton Roads) or the Tricare Advice Line 1-800-TRICARE (874-2273). It is recommended that you call before showing up to a hospital or clinic.
Moving forward, we need to prepare for any situation that might lie ahead. I believe the key to success is communication, both up and down the chain of command. So, continue to push your questions up the chain of command and we will continue to push answers out.
Respectfully,
LCDR Kimberly Mazur

Our Seabee statue in front of our Headquarters building greets our visitors coming to CBMU 202. Our statue not only had a new paint job from top to bottom its dixie cup also was moved to the top of the head instead of the "old style" on the side. We also had a uniform change from the woodlands to the digi's and now our mascot is sporting the same design. Our team did an amazing job using their skills and knowledge to bring our Seabee Mascot into the current times!
