***NAVADMIN 336/07 establishes criteria for E7/LDO candidates serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Horn of Africa who may be waived from participation in the CPO advancement exam. Although Sailors may be exempt from taking the exam, they ARE NOT AUTOMATICALLY Selection Board Eligible (SBE). Establishment of SBE status is accomplished and verified via issuance of an exam profile sheet. Sailors who do not have a valid profile sheet for the applicable cycle ARE NOT SBE. To execute selection board eligibility, servicing ESO/ADMIN teams must identify eligible candidates on an exam transmittal letter and forward it to NETPDC. A worksheet containing the Performance Mark Average (PMA) must be forwarded as well. Failure to comply with established policy and procedures will result in missed advancement opportunity.
***MISSED IA EXAM CYCLES: To ensure IA Shipmates are afforded advancement opportunity for missed exam cycles, ESO's must identify affected Sailors (with applicable missed cycles) in a separate enclosure to the Letter of Transmittal for the first exam participated in upon redeployment of a qualifying on of a tour.
NETPDC will use the Standard Score (SS) from the exam cycle taken upon return, along with the PMA and other applicable FMS factors that were present at the time of the missed cycle, to compute/establish a FMS for the missed cycle. The established FMS will be compared to the Minimum Multiple Required for the missed cycle; advancement status (PNA/selectee/fail) will be determined accordingly; profile sheet will be issued. If the Sailor is selected for advancement for a missed cycle, servicing ESO's must request an EMF update to post the retroactive advancement and effect pay.
Command ESOs can verify candidates' advancement eligibility at https://prod.neas.netc.navy.mil/ConsentBanner.htm.
Individual candidates can verify their own eligibility status through NEAS at https://prod.neas.netc.navy.mil/NEASRpts/Individual.asps.
If candidates have questions about their eligibility, they should contact their ESO.
If a status states "BUPERS Invalid" or there is no profile sheet, the ESO or CCC should contact PERS-8031 or NETPDC to verify the reason for the invalidation.
