ECMs and FR-PTS Helpdesk have been receiving a lot of phone calls and emails regarding existing PTS policy.  Just a reminder:  If a Sailor receives a PTS quota based on a SPEC CIRC application and subsequently allows an extension on their current contract to go operative their PTS quota will be considered used. 

Moreover, if a Sailor has an approved PTS quota and signs paperwork for an extension (i.e., executes the extension) their PTS quota will also be considered used.

Sailors in ratings affected by ERB and were selected for retention must still apply via FR-PTS in accordance with established guidelines.  The ERB did not give these Sailors the authorization to reenlist or extend. 

INRATE quotas will be granted to qualified Sailors advanced via the Navy-Wide Advancement Exam (NWAE) within 12-months of SEAOS, based on an eligibility date to be established by BUPERS-32.  For the September 2011 NWAE, the eligibility date is 1 December 2011.  The March 2012 NWAE will be the last examination used for possible automatic INRATE PTS quotas.  This is an update based on the 9 April 2012 PTS Business Rules which extended the automatic INRATE policy from September 2011 NWAE to March 2012 NWAE.  NOTE:  In order for a Sailor to receive an automatic INRATE PTS quota, the Sailor's chain of command must contact the respective ECM directly (via phone call or email) to obtain the automatic INRATE PTS quota for their Sailor(s).  Sailors who have previously indicated intent to separate either directly or failing to OBLISERV must contact their Enlisted Community Manager via their chain of command to request PTS quota.  Sailors advanced via the Command Advancement Program (CAP) will not receive an automatic INRATE quota. 

FR-PTS DATABASE POSTING OF RESULTS

BLUF
As of October 2010, any action that changes a Sailor's Current Enlistment Date (CED), End of Active Obligated Service (EAOS/SEAOS) will constitute utilization of a FR-PTS quota.  FR-PTS program will still reflect historical data of "Approved".  However, the Navy Enlisted System (NES) and LOPG will reflect nothing (blank)
FR-PTS status which means the Sailor will need a new FR-PTS approval.    

 FR-PTS results will be populated in the Navy Enlisted System (NES)/Enlisted Assignment Information System (EAIS). Other systems such as CMS-ID and the Personnel On Line Listing (POLL-commonly referred to as LOPG) will receive updates from NES with the appropriate PTS Status Codes.  Commands are strongly encouraged to check both LOPG and Fleet RIDE to ensure that both systems reflect the same status.  The FR-PTS program and NES, CMS-ID and LOPG are not connected and may contain conflicting information (e.g., FR-PTS may show an approved quota while NES does not).  In such instances, commands shall contact the applicable Enlisted Community Manager (ECM) for amplifying information.  All systems must reflect an approved quota prior to executing any change to an enlistment contract requiring FR-PTS approval.

Future FR-PTS enhancements will include the creation of a new
FR-PTS status of "executed", this will indicate to the command that the quota has been used.
