Needs of the Navy

All three legs of the triad are discussed to produce orders.

Balance is always the goal. Needs of the Navy will prevail.

We support the Undersea Warfare Enterprise (USE)• They outline the jobs that require our unique talents

We fill the tough assignments! Aircraft Carriers, Submarines, Submarine Tenders,

Special Projects and numerous diverse shore tours We are World Wide Assignable! Limited job availability in many locations Our billets must be filled with the right designator and

the right pay grade!

LDO/CWO CommunityLeg 1 - Needs of the Navy

9Reference - MILPERSMAN 1301-100, Officer Distribution Overview

The Detailer is your career planner Our number one goal is to get you promoted You will be offered diverse billets to keep you competitive.

This typically means taking orders at several different duty stations in varying geographic locations. To be competitive, take the hard jobs and perform! There is NO substitute for Sea Duty.

Senior leadership is consulted from the appropriate designator and board results are tracked

We utilize a ‘complete’ detailing picture

Follow the outlined career progression plan

to remain competitive for promotions. For all but NUCs:http://www.public.navy.mil/BUPERS-NPC/OFFICER/COMMUNITYMANAGERS/LDO_CWO/Pages/GUIDEBOOK.aspx

For NUCs, your career progression plan is found in this brief. 10

Special family circumstances (EFM, etc)• Update EFM member status every 3 years - PERS-451X

will not release orders if not completed

Priorities: Career more important? Location or Family decision? Extensions required for high school kids? Do you own a house? Upside down on mortgage?• Have a plan if you own a home when you transfer

Be honest Be careful what you ask for. There could be risk

associated with the choice you make and we will discuss that when you call.

Balance is always the goal. Needs of the Navy will prevail.

Flow Point: Average years of service when an officer is promoted (paid) to the next grade

Selection Rate: Percentage of all officers selected for promotion• Number selected divided by the number in-zone

(selected/in zone x 100 = selection rate)• Includes officers selected from above, in, and below the zone• Max below zone - 10% (legal limit) (very unlikely for LDOs)• No above zone limits (by law or policy)

As long as you’re on the Active Duty List you will be considered

LDO/CWO CommunityPromotion Fundamentals

• Requirements Defined by Officer Programmed Authorizations (OPA)

• VacanciesPromotions, Retirements, Resignations, Lateral Transfers

• Legal Limit Title 10 USC - Limits number of CAPTs, CDRs, and LCDRs

STRAT WEPS I have observed in 21 years!” Leadership Potential – “A future CVN CHENG” Show “Increasing levels of responsibility”

Execute the Career Path for your Designator Go to sea and if you can’t - go overseas! Embrace opportunity when available even when

it is not convenient (Hot fills) Qualify (SS, SWO, OOD, IDWO, Drydock, EOOW) Keep your record up to date (Photo, AQD’s,

Fitness Reports• Soft break outs

EP 1 of 1 - “1 of 10 regardless of designator” Explain EP performance as an MP if newly reported, behind a

senior, forced distribution #’s. EP Performer; equal to my #1 and #2 Department Heads

• Air Gaps - 1 of 1 MP and you are the only one being evaluated• Know your reporting senior’s average

• write the FITREP above his avg. and make him downgrade if performance is poor and explained

• Stress your future potential• “a sure selection for SSBN WEPs”• “future Dry Dock XO, CVN PA or CHENG”• “has the leadership to succeed as an XO ashore or afloat”

• LDO O1E and O2E are expected to receive MP and EP marks• Ensure you are “recommended for promotion to xxxx” on EVERY

FITREP

Fitness Reports Block 40: Command Recommendation (this block matters)

XO/CO Drydock Next At Sea Career milestone

Top 3 lines and the bottom 2 lines (give the briefer of your record easy nuggets to extract and speak too)

Hard Breakouts/ Move to the Right (P then MP then EP) Tell the board what’s going on if P or MP Are you an EP performer? If so write it in the FITREP,

even if P or MP due to forced distribution! BLUF: Explaining changes or marks even when obvious

means that the Board is not guessing at what really happened! If it’s too late, write a letter to the Board or submit a BCNR if you have time! All letters must be read to the Board!


22

Fitness Reports What constitutes Declining Performance?

Same Reporting Senior with lowering trait average (when not a Promotion FITREP)

Weaker or Fewer Block 40 Recommendations Movement from EP to MP to P from same Reporting

Senior with no explanation: DOA in the tank Decline in soft breakout with no explanation No EP transfer FITREP when 1 of 1

Stress LEADERSHIP in your performance/achievements! How did your LEADERSHIP help the command accomplish

its mission?

Nuclear LDO/CWO Program Senior Enlisted Manning Concerns

54

History of LDO Selection Quotas• Quotas limitations were first used at the FY12 LDO board to minimize the impact of selections on the

ET(SS) rate• After the success of the FY12 quotas they were expanded to prevent over selection of MMC(SS) and

then to minimize impact on EDMC pool

Quotas for FY16 LDO board• No more than 27 total submarine and 23 total surface selections• No ET1(SS) selections • No E-8 submarine or surface selections• No more than 2 each ETC, EMC, or MMC submarine or surface selections

Reason for FY16 Quotas• ET(SS) is the most stressed rate in the NNPP with an at-sea supervisory manning below 40%, thus no

ET1(SS) selections were allowed• Submarine EDMC manning concerns continues to limit the number of submarine CPOs selected• CVN CPO manning concerns limited the number of surface CPOs selected• FY16 quotas were developed to prevent negatively impacting the enlisted community while

maintaining opportunity for LDO selection

LDO quota limitations will be eased as supervisory manning levels improve• Action has been taken to improve manning levels and positive trends are being observed

Mentoring essential to ensure quality sailors enter both EDMC and LDO programs
