CMS-ID Changes
NAVADMIN 226/12
Based on fleet feedback regarding manning deficiencies and
FIT/FILL, the order negotiation process using CMS/ID has changed to
provide greater predictability in future manning and reduce shore notice
manning actions including crossdecks and diverts.
• Removed “Red Zone” requisitions
• Modified the number of requisitions displayed to advertise priority fill
billets only
• Changed green zone requisitions to “mandatory fills”
• Sailors may be assigned to a job without application at anytime during
their negotiation window
31. NAVY
BUPERS 3

Detailing Impact
• Sailor negotiation window remains 3 months (P-9 to P-7)
• Sailors continue to be able to submit a maximum of 5
applications per month
• Needs of the Navy window remains at P-6
• Sailors nearing the end of their negotiation window will generally
be chosen first to fill assignments they did not apply for over
Sailors who are at the start of their negotiation window

• Developed to support Sailor Advocacy.
– Supports retention and QOL initiatives.
– Builds trust with detailers.
– Sailor plays major role in shaping own career.
• Supports personnel readiness.
– Placement function loads requisitions for detailers to fill.
– Sailors can chose, but only from the highest priority
requisitions.
– Provides Sailors with visibility of other priorities not normally
considered, which makes the detailers‟ job easier.
• Instructor billets, overseas assignments.

• Only Sailors who have completed at least 24 months of shore duty at
the time of transfer will be considered for early return to sea
34. NAVY
BUPERS 3

eligible for spouse collocation in conjunction during the training
assignment, and should request collocation at the conclusion of

Failure to OBLISERV
MILPERSMAN 1306-106
What is Failure to OBLISERV?
• It means a Sailor has not obligated sufficient service required to
accept and/or execute PCS orders.
• Sailors who fail to OBLISERV and those who submit a 1306/7 to
match PRD to EAOS with intent to separate will have their record
Flagged by PERS-40BB. A Sailor with a flagged record who
decides to reenlist will be issued “Needs of the Navy” orders without
further negotiation.
What is the command‟s responsibility?
• Send failure to OBLISERV messages IAW MILPERSMAN Article

Now we’ll turn to the Enlisted Advancement, specifically eligibility requirements, how to prepare for exams properly, available study resources, and your exam profile sheet.
The Navy Advancement Center is located on NKO. It is the official source of your Bibliography for Advancement and where you’ll find the Topics and Subtopics I mentioned a moment ago. For the March exam, the BIB will be posted the prior October. For the September exam, BIBs will be posted the prior April.You can quickly reach Advancement Center resources by logging into NKO and click the hyperlink located under the yellow Career Management heading. Once on the Advancement Center pages, you will find lots and lots of supporting resources including the Advancement Manual, FAQs and a link to your Exam Profile Sheet.If you’re on Facebook, we encourage you to “like” the Navy Advancement Center page, as they ask great situational questions throughout the year, send out reminders for upcoming exams and give advanced notice of when results are coming out. (GREAT RESOURCE!)
Speaking of performance, have you ever wondered how many points really separate a recommendation of Promotable, Must Promote and Early Promote on your eval? Here’s a breakdown by paygrade. As you can see, superior PERFORMANCE is key to advancing!
Now we’ll turn to the Enlisted Advancement, specifically eligibility requirements, how to prepare for exams properly, available study resources, and your exam profile sheet.
I want to tell you about the Sailor Career Toolbox information sheet, which is located on the NPC “Career Toolbox” and NKO “Navy Career Tools” pages. It is a user aid that provides detailed information about all of the tools listed on the previous page. The information sheet includes an individual page for each of tool and provides a description of what the tool is designed to provide, where you must go to use it, the actions you should perform while there, plus points of contact for more information or assistance, should you need it.This user aid provides important information about the online systems that you should be using and I encourage you to review the information today. Be sure to check back frequently, however, as the information sheet – as well as other user aids you’ll find on NPC and NKO – are updated frequently as systems change.
The NPC Career Toolbox page contains information and user aids designed to help you access and use your Navy career tools.Two users aids, in particular, will help you inventory your OMPF and ESR to ensure both are accurate and complete.
