RMKS/1.  THIS NAVADMIN ANNOUNCES THE FY-01 PMP PROGRAM AND PROVIDES
APPLICATION PROCEDURES.
 
2.  THERE IS A CONTINUING NEED FOR NAVAL OFFICERS TO SERVE AS
LONG-TERM OFFICER-INSTRUCTORS AT THE U.S. NAVAL ACADEMY
(USNA) AND NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL (NPS).  THE PMP PROGRAM
IS A CRUCIAL AND CONTINUING PART OF THE EDUCATION PROGRAMS AT BOTH
INSTITUTIONS.  IT AFFORDS GREATER STABILITY IN MEETING EXISTING
OFFICER-INSTRUCTOR REQUIREMENTS, AND SENIOR PMPS PROVIDE
STAFFING CONTINUITY, AS WELL AS RECRUITING, MENTORING, AND
OUTPLACEMENT COUNSELING FOR MILITARY INSTRUCTORS ON ROTATIONAL
ASSIGNMENTS.  ADDITIONALLY, THEY MAINTAIN AND ENHANCE LINKS IN THEIR
ACADEMIC AND WARFARE DISCIPLINES WITH THE REST OF NAVY FOR RESEARCH
OPPORTUNITIES, FACULTY DEVELOPMENT, AND CURRICULUM FEEDBACK.
 
3.  HIGHLIGHTS OF FY-01 PMP PROGRAM INCLUDE:
    A.  SELECTIONS WILL BE MADE DURING AUG 00 PMP SELECTION BOARD.
    B.  TO ALLOW PERS-4 MAXIMUM TIME TO DETAIL PMP SELECTEES, AND
THEIR RELIEFS, TARGET ASSIGNMENT DATE FOR PMPS IS AUG 01.
    C.  BOARD WILL SELECT LIMITED NUMBER OF OFFICERS POSSESSING
COMPLETED PHDS TO REPORT IMMEDIATELY AS PMPS.  BOARD WILL ALSO
SELECT UP TO SEVEN O5 (SELECT) OR O5 OFFICERS POSSESSING A MASTER'S
DEGREE TO PURSUE FULL-TIME, FULLY-FUNDED DOCTORAL STUDIES LEADING
TO A PHD, FOLLOWED BY ASSIGNMENT TO USNA.  OF THE SEVEN QUOTAS FOR
DOCTORAL STUDY, THREE ARE FOR STUDY AT NPS AND FOUR ARE FOR STUDY AT
NAVY-APPROVED CIVILIAN DOCTORAL-GRANTING INSTITUTIONS (CIVINS).  NO
FY-01 SELECTION QUOTAS ARE AVAILABLE FOR EVENTUAL ASSIGNMENT TO NPS
FACULTY AS PMP.
 
4.  ELIGIBILITY:
    A.  MUST BE O5 (SELECT), O5, OR O6.  (NOTE:  BOTH O6 (SELECT)
AND O6 LACKING A PHD ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR DOCTORAL STUDIES
UNDER PMP PROGRAM).
    B.  REGULAR ACTIVE DUTY NAVAL OFFICERS IN ANY COMMUNITY.  TAR,
SELRES, OTHER MILITARY SERVICES, AND RETIRED OFFICERS ARE NOT
ELIGIBLE.
    C.  WARFARE QUALIFIED, WITH SIGNIFICANT OPERATIONAL EXPERIENCE.
WARFARE QUALIFIED IS DEFINED AS BEING CURRENTLY ELIGIBLE TO WEAR
WARFARE PIN OF A URL COMMUNITY.
    D.  POSTGRADUATE STUDY QUALIFYING FOR ENTRY INTO A DOCTORAL
PROGRAM IN ONE OF THE FIELDS LISTED IN PARA 7, ENABLING COMPLETION
OF A PHD PROGRAM IN THREE YEARS OR LESS AT NPS, OR FOUR YEARS OR
LESS AT A NAVY-APPROVED CIVINS.
    E.  WITHOUT A PHD, ACADEMICALLY ELIGIBLE TO PURSUE NAVY-
SPONSORED DOCTORAL DEGREE AT NPS, OR ACCEPTANCE TO NAVY-APPROVED

CURRENT COMMAND BY AUG 01.
    I.  REQUIREMENTS DELINEATED IN PARA 2A THROUGH 2G WILL BE
STRICTLY APPLIED, THOUGH A LIMITED NUMBER OF WAIVERS FOR WARFARE
QUALIFICATION (PARA 2C) MAY BE OFFERED.  DUE TO HISTORIC STATUTORY
RESTRICTIONS ON ASSIGNMENT OF WOMEN IN NAVY, SOME FEMALE OFFICERS
WERE UNABLE TO EARN WARFARE QUALIFICATION.  OFFICERS OTHERWISE
QUALIFIED AND DESIRING TO BE CONSIDERED FOR WAIVER OF WARFARE
QUALIFICATION MUST SUBSTANTIATE REQUEST FOR WAIVER AS DESCRIBED IN
PARA 6.  APPLICATIONS NOT MEETING REQUIREMENTS WILL BE RETURNED TO
APPLICANT MARKED INELIGIBLE.
 
5.  CAREER PROGRESSION:
    A.  PMP OFFICERS, ONCE SELECTED, WILL CONTINUE THEIR EDUCATION
THROUGH DOCTORAL LEVEL UNLESS THEY ALREADY POSSESS A PHD, AND
THEN BE ASSIGNED TO AN INSTRUCTOR BILLET IN THEIR RESPECTIVE
ACADEMIC DISCIPLINE.  COMPLETION OF DEGREE PROGRAM WILL OBLIGATE
OFFICERS TO SERVE ON ACTIVE DUTY UP TO STATUTORY RETIREMENT DATE, OR
UNTIL RELEASED FROM ACTIVE DUTY.
    B.  WHILE PMP OFFICERS CURRENTLY RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL
DESIGNATORS DUE TO PROMOTION CONSIDERATIONS, A PROPOSAL TO ESTABLISH
PMP AS A SEPARATE COMMUNITY WITH A UNIFORM DESIGNATOR IS BEING
STUDIED.  ASSIGNED BILLETS ARE SPECIFIED BY USNA AND NPS, AND
MANAGED BY PERS-444.
    C.  PRESENTLY THERE IS LIMITED PROMOTION OPPORTUNITY TO O6,
WHICH IS PREDICATED ON PMP PERFORMANCE, AS WELL AS PMP VACANCIES.
    D.  INDIVIDUALS WHO DO NOT MAINTAIN SATISFACTORY PROGRESS IN

PERFORMANCE FAILS TO MAINTAIN EXEMPLARY STANDARDS REQUIRED, WILL
