Expectations
PTS is used for various reasons:It is primarily a performance based quota reservation system to control continuation behavior. It allows the Sailor to apply for three main types of quotas to continue their Naval Servie: In-Rate (stay in current rate), Conversion (to undermanned Rating or FTS), SELRES (affiliate in SELRES). It balances ratings by facilitating conversions from overmanned ratings into undermannedIt helps control Zone manning and continuation across the various year groupsIt helps control end strengthThe PTS Algorithm ranks Sailors based on performance (see algorithm slide 8).On a micro-level, this is how a PTS Application Timeline looks for the Sailor:The Sailor’s end of obligated service (to include any extensions) determines when the Sailor enters the PTS window. Note: There are other reasons why the Sailor could enter PTS (see slide 7), but this is the primary reason. All Sailors must enter into PTS, even if they intend to separate. If they intend to separate, they do not compete for a quota.Commands conduct a career development board up to two years prior to a Sailors end of obligated service. The RIDE service can be used to support this counseling session, and offer insight into what the competition is like within the Sailors current rating and to identify what other ratings a Sailor is eligible for or interested in. Commands can provide opportunity to retake the ASVAB to increase the number of other ratings a Sailor is eligible for. Sailors can apply up to 6 times for a quota. They can begin their application up to 3 months in advance of their first competitive cycle which happens at the 12 month mark. If they do not receive approval during a competitive cycle, but still have time remaining prior to the 6 month mark, they receive a denied status, but can re-apply.Sailors may be negotiating orders during the same window, which will not be approved until/unless they receive PTS approval.If Sailors rank highly based on the PTS algorithm, they may receive a quota after their first or second look. Every Sailor will know if they received a quota at the six month mark. If they are not approved, they will receive a “final denied” status, and separation letter.Sailors who are not approved to reenlist have an additional three months to compete for an opportunity to affiliate in the SELRES. If not, they will be directed to separate at the end of their obligated service.
The guiding principle for this quota-based enlisted retention board is performance, with the objective of balancing the force in terms of seniority, experience and skills to meet Fleet and Joint Requirements. The board will examine the records of all eligible Sailors for performance indicators. Recent documented misconduct and substandard performance will indicate that retention may not be in the best interests of the Navy.
The ERB will require an total Navy leadership effort to communicate the plan and guarantee smooth transitions for our Sailors.Timing the board to be conducted in August/September 2011 allows us to develop the board process, membership, etc., while avoiding disrupting other planned boards scheduled in the COMNAVPERSCOM board spaces before/after that timeframe. An August/September board, with results released in October/November and a mandatory separation date of 30 June 2012, allows Sailors not chosen for retention sufficient time to prepare for transition from active duty in FY12.
We have waived conversion eligibility requirements so that all ERB eligible Sailors are also eligible to apply for rating conversion to an identified undermanned rating prior to the board. Those selected for conversion will be exempt from the board.
Ask the officer or enlisted member leaving active duty to keep an open mind and understand the value, then make an educated decision about his or her future.
Monthly premium is low for family and member! Great for students, business owners and those that work in small companies. At a minimum this allows for options and much cheaper then COBRA if considering changing jobs!
