CNP Talks Stability and Sea Duty in Sasebo

May 20, 2014, WASHINGTON (NNS) – The Chief of Naval Personnel (CNP) visited forward deployed fleet units in Sasebo, Japan to meet with Sailors and families May 19 and 20.

Vice Adm. Bill Moran, CNP, conducted a number of all hands calls and small discussion where he talked about petty officer advancement opportunities, changes to advancement policy and the Command Advancement Program (CAP) and sea duty incentives.

Later this week, cycle 223 E4/5/6 advancement results will be released, CNP addressed the slight decrease in advancement opportunity this cycle.

“Retention is strong, as more and more high quality Sailors are deciding to ‘stay Navy,’ causing a down tick in the advancement rate,” said Moran. “Advancements, at or near the ten-year average, was what we expected and we are just about there. However, moving forward, the goal is greater stability across the board-in end-strength, advancement rates and community health.”

Last week, NAVADMIN 114/14 announced revisions to the Navy’s enlisted advancement policy.

Fleet Master Chief April Beldo, Moran’s senior enlisted advisor, said these changes introduce a new Final Multiple Score (FMS) that increases the weight on areas where Sailors can demonstrate superior performance and further empower command triads in the advancement process.

“To ensure we continue to advance the right Sailors, COs and CMCs told us these changes were needed,” said Beldo. “The new calculation rewards those Sailors who are our top performers. No longer will folks simply be able to ‘hang around’ to make rate.”

She encouraged Sailors to get familiar with the new FMS by reading about it on All Hands Magazine Online.

The changes to advancement also included the Command Advancement Program (CAP).

Commanding officers maintain the authority to select Sailors for meritorious advancement-the change consolidates the program’s timeline to a single CAP season, which allows advancement planners to factor in CAP selections before setting advancement quotas.

“I want to be clear CAP isn’t going anywhere, the number of CAP quotas isn’t going to change,” CNP said. “The new changes simply add structure to when CAPs can occur–ensuring we balance rating health with rewarding performance.”

May is the first month that increases to Career Sea Pay are in effect, and Moran said that the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) and he continue to work on additional incentives to reward Sailors assigned to sea duty.

With increases to standard deployment time, Moran said Navy leadership’s goal is to get a high deployment pay in place this year to compensate Sailors serving at sea for long periods of time.

“As our Navy continues to be in high demand, deployment lengths and operating tempo will remain above historic norms,” said Moran. “It’s important we compensate our folks for this arduous duty. We are working the policy now and expect to be able to share details in the next several weeks.

CNP and Beldo answered questions at each event. Many Sasebo Sailors were interested in knowing if training opportunities would be expanded for those serving as part of the forward deployed naval force in Japan.

Moran told audiences that his staff was working with the type commands to find ways to expand available training opportunities for Sailors in Japan.

“We have to do a better job of providing training in route to Sailors headed over seas, and look for ways to increase our waterfront resources. Sending folks to San Diego or Hawaii after we’ve moved them out here can’t be our only answer–we have to be smarter and more efficient.”
