SUBJ/PERFORM TO SERVE (PTS) POLICY//
 
RMKS/1.  CNO'S COMMITMENT TO MANPOWER AND YOUR LEADERSHIP IN
RECRUITING, RETENTION AND ATTRITION MEASURABLY INCREASED MANPOWER
READINESS IN THE FLEET.  WE WANT TO SEIZE UPON THE RESULTANT
OPPORTUNITY TO BETTER SHAPE THE FORCE SO OUR MANNING MATCHES MISSION
REQUIREMENTS.  THIS NEW LONG TERM FORCE SHAPING INITIATIVE IS CALLED
PERFORM TO SERVE.
 
2.  WE WOULD LIKE TO RETAIN ALL ELIGIBLE SAILORS WHO DESIRE TO STAY
NAVY, BUT SIMPLY CAN'T AFFORD TO RETAIN PEOPLE IN ANY RATING THAT IS
MANNED BEYOND REQUIREMENTS.  THERE EXISTS EXCESS INVENTORY IN SOME
RATINGS WHILE OTHERS ARE IN CRITICAL NEED OF SAILORS.  THESE
CONDITIONS SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT CAREER PROGRESSION AND ADVANCEMENT
OPPORTUNITIES OF SAILORS AND HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON MISSION
READINESS AND FLEET CAPABILITIES.
 
3.  WE WILL LAUNCH PTS IN MARCH TO SHAPE THE FORCE OF THE FUTURE.
THIS CENTRALIZED REENLISTMENT RESERVATION SYSTEM WILL ULTIMATELY BE
APPLIED TO ALL SAILORS (USN, USNR, USNR(TAR)) AS THEY REENLIST.  THE
INITIAL OBJECTIVE WILL BE TO CONTROL REENLISTMENTS OF FIRST TERM
SAILORS IN OVERMANNED RATINGS AND TO OFFER A NUMBER OF THEM A
CONVERSION OPTION TO UNDERMANNED RATINGS.  COMMENCING WITH
REENLISTMENTS EFFECTIVE IN MARCH 2003, WE WILL FOCUS ON SAILORS NOT
UNDER ORDERS AND REACHING THE END OF THEIR INITIAL SERVICE
OBLIGATION AS EXTENDED.  COMMANDER, NAVY PERSONNEL COMMAND WILL BE
THE FINAL APPROVAL AUTHORITY FOR REENLISTMENT REQUESTS, BASED ON THE
COMMANDING OFFICER'S RECOMMENDATION.
 
4.  YOU SHOULD MONITOR RATING HEALTH BY READING CREO/REGA MESSAGES.
SEEK OUT YOUR SAILORS WHO ARE IN OVERMANNED RATINGS AND DETERMINE
THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR CREO 1 AND 2 RATINGS.  CONDUCT CAREER
DEVELOPMENT BOARDS AND PROVIDE THE GUIDANCE, TRAINING AND RE-TESTING
NECESSARY.  ENCOURAGE GENDET SAILORS TO TAKE THE CRITICAL JOBS AND
DESIGNATED SAILORS TO LATERALLY CONVERT FROM OVERMANNED RATINGS INTO
UNDERMANNED ONES.
6.  IMPLEMENTING GUIDANCE WILL BE SENT IN A FORTHCOMING NAVADMIN.
