Study Notes
Enlisted Advancement Policy Changes
- Changes to the final multiple score (FMS) advancement process for E-4 through E-7 Sailors (Active Duty, Full-Time Support, Canvasser Recruiter, Selected Reserve) are announced.
- Updates are effective for February 2019 NWAE cycle (Cycle 104) for E-4 through E-6 SELRES; and March 2019 cycle (Cycle 243) for active duty.
- E-7 changes start with the January 2020 NWAE cycle (Cycle 246) for Active Duty, Full-Time Support and Canvasser Recruiter candidates, and February 2020 SELRES.
- Sailors who missed previous cycles will use the FMS computation from the missed cycle.
Performance Mark Average (PMA) Updates
- E-6 and E-7 Advancement: Calculates PMA using Individual Trait Average (ITA) and Reporting Senior Cumulative Average (RSCA).
- RSCA PMA Computation Procedure:
- Convert promotion recommendations (NAVPERS 1616/26, Evaluation Report, and Counseling Record) to values in paragraph 308 of reference (a).
- Subtract RSCA from ITA.
- If the difference is 0.05 or more above RSCA, apply additional RSCA calculation points.
- Sum all adjusted RSCA evaluation values and divide by the number of evaluations to get RSCA PMA. Round to two decimal places.
- Missing RSCA: RSCA PMA equals 0.00; considered a command-level discrepancy, requiring resolution.
- Spreadsheet Availability: Microsoft Excel spreadsheet is available on NEAS and NPC websites to assist commands.
- Automated Calculation: The automated application of RSCA PMA will begin in Fall 2019 cycles (Cycles 105 and 244) for E-6 advancement.
- Manual Calculation Guidance: Commands are to ensure the accuracy of ESO-calculated RSCA PMA by a second E-7 or above person (or senior enlisted leader in case of lacking E-7).
- E-7 Advancement RSCA PMA Delay: RSCA PMA is not used for Active/Reserve candidates competing for chief petty officer advancement until 2020 cycles.
Other FMS Changes
- IA Points: Individual Augmentee (IA) points for E-4 through E-6 candidates are no longer factored in the FMS score.
- PNA Points: PNA points (Pass Not Advanced) points reward knowledge; Awarded based on top 25% performance in previous 3 cycles
- SIPG Factor: Service in Paygrade (SIPG) points for E-4 through E-6 candidates will still be included, but divided by 5.
Timelines and Responsibilities
- Evaluation Submission:
- Active Duty, Full-Time Support, and Canvasser Recruiter candidates: Evaluations must be mailed within 15 days.
- Selected Reserve candidates: Evaluations must be mailed within 30 days. Late submissions must have a justification.
- Reporting Senior Responsibilities: Reporting seniors are required to incorporate Post Summary Group (PSG) RSCA in evaluation Block 43 as of the announcement date.
- RSCA Discrepancy Resolution: If evaluations have been accepted, NSIPS ESR RSCA value supersedes Block 43 values.
FMS Computation Summaries (by paygrade)
- Summarized FMS calculations (Maximum Points and Max Percentage) for E-4/E-5, E-6 and E-7 advancement. Note different key factors, and points allocated for each.
