Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP)
MAP authorizes commanding officers (COs) to advance eligible personnel in paygrades E5 and below to the next higher paygrade. The program is intended to give COs the opportunity to recognize their best Sailors by advancing them when they are ready for the next level of responsibility. The program gives greater authority to commands to better shape their workforce and the Navy by developing and rewarding our most talented Sailors.
Quotas are allocated to commands based on billets authorized in paygrades E3 through E5. Quotas are assigned to some commands as well as to the Designated Echelon II/Budget Submitting Office commands for distribution to any eligible sailor within their domain.
Your feedback is important as we continue to adjust this program to meet the needs of the Fleet. Email your comments, questions, or concerns to NXAG_N132C@navy.mil.
