Career Roadmap

Airman Recruit to Master Chief Roadmap


The educational roadmap below will assist Sailors in the Aviation Structural Mechanic community through
the process of pursuing professional development and advanced education using various military and civilian
resources e.g. PQS program; JST Joint Service Transcript; E-Learning; Navy College Network; etc. Successful
leadership is the key to military readiness and will always require a high degree of technical skill, professional
knowledge, and intellectual development.
What is a Career Roadmap for Aviation Structural Mechanic?
Aviation Structural Mechanic roadmaps are just what the name implies - a roadmap through the Enlisted
Learning and Development Continuum from Airman Recruit through Master Chief. The principal focus is to
standardize a program Navy wide by featuring the existing skills necessary to be successful in the Navy. The
ultimate goal of a roadmap is to produce a functional and competent Sailor.
What is the Enlisted Learning and Development Continuum?
Enlisted Learning and Development Continuum is the formal title given to the curriculum and process
building on the foundation of Sailorization beginning in our Delayed Entry Program through Recruit Training
Command and throughout your entire career. The continuum combines skill training, professional education,
well-rounded assignments, and voluntary education. As you progress through your career, early-on skill
training diminishes while professional military education gradually increases. Experience is the ever-present
constant determining the rate at which a Sailor trades skill training for professional development.
Do Sailors have to follow the Roadmap?
Yes. The Aviation Structural Mechanic roadmap includes the four areas encompassed by the Continuum in
Professional Military Education to include; Navy Professional Military Education (NPME), Joint Professional
Education (JPME), Leadership and Advanced Education.
Some training and education is mandatory (Recruit Training, AM “A” School at Naval Air Technical
Training Command (NATTC) in Pensacola Florida, E-Learning, etc.). Some may be directed by your chain of
command (Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint courses), and the remainder is voluntary (MNP, E-Learning,
college courses, etc.). Sailors are advised to seek out mentors, including your Command Master Chief, Senior
Enlisted Advisor, Leading Chief Petty Officer, Leading Petty Officer and Command Career Counselor, and to
make use of your Navy College Virtual Education Center (VEC) or OCNUS Education Office vast resources.
All are uniquely qualified to help you along the way.

Career Waypoints-Reenlistment:
The Command Career Counselor is your local advocate to assist you with the Career Waypoints application process.
E3-E6 Sailors with less than 14 years of service must submit a Career Waypoints application, regardless of reenlistment intentions. Sailors who
do not desire to reenlist will submit an "intends to separate" application. Sailors not eligible for reenlistment will submit a "not eligible"
application.
The Career Waypoints system automatically generates most of the applications needed by Sailors. Applications must be submitted no later than
16 months prior to expiration of active obligated service (EAOS) or as extended (SEAOS). Sailors with less than 24 months of contract time
remaining at their projected rotation date (PRD) will submit an application 15 months prior to their PRD. In either case, the Career Waypoints
system will automatically generate applications for Sailors 18 months prior to either timeframe. Applications required outside of the established
C-Way gates can be submitted as Special Circumstance applications. Examples of when these may be needed include OBLISERVE for special
duty, decommissioning or homeport shift.
The C-Way 3-2-1 Process aligns career decisions with the detailing process. Soft End of Active Obligated Service (SEAOS)/End of Active
Obligated Service (EAOS) applications are created by C-Way at the 18 month from SEAOS/EAOS mark and must be submitted by the
Command Career Counselor at the 16 month mark. This provides time for the Career Counselor to validate the Sailor's information and to
ascertain the Sailors career intentions. The first C-Way review gate occurs from 16 to 13 months from SEAOS/EAOS with career choice
options of in-rate, conversion, and Selected Reserve. The second review gate occurs from 12 to 9 months from SEAOS/EAOS with career
choice options of conversion and Selected Reserve. From 8 months to 4 months to SEAOS/EAOS the Sailor can only choose Selected
Reserve affiliation.
Monthly reenlistment quotas are limited and must be reserved for our best and brightest Sailors who desire to Stay Navy.
Sailors must choose one of the following based on their desires and qualifications:
Reenlist-in-Rate,
Reenlist-in-rate, Willing to Convert
Convert only
SELRES option
Intend to separate
Not eligible

In February 2014, C-Way delivered auto-approval capabilities to provide reenlistment decisions on SEAOS/EAOS applications more quickly for
eligible ratings. This changed the monthly processing of reenlistment applications as described below.
If you are in an, "open" rating or a "balanced" rating in an undermanned year group or an E-6, you are eligible for reenlistment, and your
application is submitted with correct data it will be auto-approved and returned immediately, and you can reenlist.
If you are in a "competitive" rating or a balanced rating but not an undermanned year group, then your application will be processed through
the monthly Rack and Stack process. Applications submitted in one month are processed in Rack and Stack the following month.
For Nuclear ratings, all applications are reviewed by enlisted community managers on an ongoing basis throughout the processing month.
If required data is missing (evaluations, Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) data, security clearance etc.) the application will be denied with a
note to your career counselor regarding what needs to be fixed. It is critical the Command Career Counselor reviews these notes to ensure
Sailor's are not disadvantaged in their opportunities for retention.

Upon completion of the monthly process, Career Waypoints results will be available to command users via the Monthly report section of the
Career Waypoints system.

Reading, discussing, and understanding the ideas found in the CNO PRP will not only improve our critical thinking skills, but will also help us
become better Sailors, citizens, and most importantly, leaders. This list is not intended to limit professional reading or learning in any way, but
merely to provide easy access to a few of the many titles that will benefit our service.

The Chief of Naval Operations' tenets and Lines of Effort: Strengthening Naval Power at and from the Sea; Achieving Fast Learning at Every
Level; Strengthening Our Navy Team for the Future; and Expanding and Strengthening our Network of Partners. These LOEs have themes
common to all Sailors - Integrity, Accountability, Initiative, and Toughness.

The books are organized by the Lines of Effort, but there are several other categories as well. A Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority is
included in addition to a section of books - Fundamentals for the Naval Professional - that contains canonical books about warfighting, diplomacy,
and strategy. Many books on both lists are available as e-books through the Navy General Library Program.

The entire list, of over 140 book summaries and additional information is available at http://navyreading.dodlive.mil/

RECORD REVIEW CHECKLIST

AM - Aviation Structural Mechanic Page 27 of 125                        
RECORD REVIEW CHECKLIST
Review your Official Record to see what documentation, qualifications, etc. may be missing or requiring an update.
This is a great opportunity to meet with your Mentor, Leading Petty Officer or Leading Chief Petty Officer to
understand the importance of keeping your record up-to-date. Check the following three major sections to verify your
Official Record:

a. BUPERS Online: BUPERS Online (https://www.bol.navy.mil) is your main tool to ensure your record is up to
date and helps you to be proactive in making the most of your promotion opportunity. You should review your:
1. Official Military Personnel File (OMPF): All active duty and reserve personnel having a BOL account,
a CAC (with appropriate certificates) and a CAC-enabled computer can now view their OMPF online by
selecting the OMPF option on the BOL main menu page. This is the preferred method of obtaining OMPF
information to eliminate the unnecessary time-lags caused by waiting days or weeks to receive a requested
CD ROM.
2. If Deployed: Click on "Request Record on CD" to order your Official Military Personnel File (OMPF).
This must be accomplished four to six months before a board convenes, which will allow time for delivery
and updating of your record if required.
3. Check your Performance Summary Record (PSR) and Enlisted Summary Record (ESR) on
https://www.bol.navy.mil, click on the "ODC, OSR, PSR, ESR" link.
b. Electronic Service Record (ESR) Self-Service ESR: This can be viewed at (https://nsips.nmci.navy.mil) or on
the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) ESR server onboard ship.
c. Electronic Training Jacket (ETJ): Log-on to My Navy Portal (MNP) and review your entire ETJ making sure
that each section is correct. If not, clicking on "Data Problems" at the bottom of each page which will guide you
on how to make corrections or updates.
d. US Navy Awards website: Log onto (https://awards.navy.mil/) to review any awards you may qualify for but
were unaware of.

Career Waypoints-Reenlistment:
The Command Career Counselor is your local advocate to assist you with the Career Waypoints application process.
E3-E6 Sailors with less than 14 years of service must submit a Career Waypoints application, regardless of reenlistment intentions. Sailors who
do not desire to reenlist will submit an "intends to separate" application. Sailors not eligible for reenlistment will submit a "not eligible"
application.
The Career Waypoints system automatically generates most of the applications needed by Sailors. Applications must be submitted no later than
16 months prior to expiration of active obligated service (EAOS) or as extended (SEAOS). Sailors with less than 24 months of contract time
remaining at their projected rotation date (PRD) will submit an application 15 months prior to their PRD. In either case, the Career Waypoints
system will automatically generate applications for Sailors 18 months prior to either timeframe. Applications required outside of the established
C-Way gates can be submitted as Special Circumstance applications. Examples of when these may be needed include OBLISERVE for special
duty, decommissioning or homeport shift.
The C-Way 3-2-1 Process aligns career decisions with the detailing process. Soft End of Active Obligated Service (SEAOS)/End of Active
Obligated Service (EAOS) applications are created by C-Way at the 18 month from SEAOS/EAOS mark and must be submitted by the
Command Career Counselor at the 16 month mark. This provides time for the Career Counselor to validate the Sailor's information and to
ascertain the Sailors career intentions. The first C-Way review gate occurs from 16 to 13 months from SEAOS/EAOS with career choice
options of in-rate, conversion, and Selected Reserve. The second review gate occurs from 12 to 9 months from SEAOS/EAOS with career
choice options of conversion and Selected Reserve. From 8 months to 4 months to SEAOS/EAOS the Sailor can only choose Selected
Reserve affiliation.
Monthly reenlistment quotas are limited and must be reserved for our best and brightest Sailors who desire to Stay Navy.
Sailors must choose one of the following based on their desires and qualifications:
Reenlist-in-Rate,
Reenlist-in-rate, Willing to Convert
Convert only
SELRES option
Intend to separate
Not eligible

In February 2014, C-Way delivered auto-approval capabilities to provide reenlistment decisions on SEAOS/EAOS applications more quickly for
eligible ratings. This changed the monthly processing of reenlistment applications as described below.
If you are in an, "open" rating or a "balanced" rating in an undermanned year group or an E-6, you are eligible for reenlistment, and your
application is submitted with correct data it will be auto-approved and returned immediately, and you can reenlist.
If you are in a "competitive" rating or a balanced rating but not an undermanned year group, then your application will be processed through
the monthly Rack and Stack process. Applications submitted in one month are processed in Rack and Stack the following month.
For Nuclear ratings, all applications are reviewed by enlisted community managers on an ongoing basis throughout the processing month.
If required data is missing (evaluations, Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) data, security clearance etc.) the application will be denied with a
note to your career counselor regarding what needs to be fixed. It is critical the Command Career Counselor reviews these notes to ensure
Sailor's are not disadvantaged in their opportunities for retention.

Upon completion of the monthly process, Career Waypoints results will be available to command users via the Monthly report section of the
Career Waypoints system.

Reading, discussing, and understanding the ideas found in the CNO PRP will not only improve our critical thinking skills, but will also help us
become better Sailors, citizens, and most importantly, leaders. This list is not intended to limit professional reading or learning in any way, but
merely to provide easy access to a few of the many titles that will benefit our service.

The Chief of Naval Operations' tenets and Lines of Effort: Strengthening Naval Power at and from the Sea; Achieving Fast Learning at Every
Level; Strengthening Our Navy Team for the Future; and Expanding and Strengthening our Network of Partners. These LOEs have themes
common to all Sailors - Integrity, Accountability, Initiative, and Toughness.

The books are organized by the Lines of Effort, but there are several other categories as well. A Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority is
included in addition to a section of books - Fundamentals for the Naval Professional - that contains canonical books about warfighting, diplomacy,
and strategy. Many books on both lists are available as e-books through the Navy General Library Program.

The entire list, of over 140 book summaries and additional information is available at http://navyreading.dodlive.mil/

Review your Official Record to see what documentation, qualifications, etc. may be missing or requiring an update.
This is a great opportunity to meet with your Mentor, Leading Petty Officer or Leading Chief Petty Officer to
understand the importance of keeping your record up-to-date. Check the following three major sections to verify your
Official Record:

a. BUPERS Online: BUPERS Online (https://www.bol.navy.mil) is your main tool to ensure your record is up to
date and helps you to be proactive in making the most of your promotion opportunity. You should review your:
1. Official Military Personnel File (OMPF): All active duty and reserve personnel having a BOL account,
a CAC (with appropriate certificates) and a CAC-enabled computer can now view their OMPF online by
selecting the OMPF option on the BOL main menu page. This is the preferred method of obtaining OMPF
information to eliminate the unnecessary time-lags caused by waiting days or weeks to receive a requested
CD ROM.
2. If Deployed: Click on "Request Record on CD" to order your Official Military Personnel File (OMPF).
This must be accomplished four to six months before a board convenes, which will allow time for delivery
and updating of your record if required.
3. Check your Performance Summary Record (PSR) and Enlisted Summary Record (ESR) on
https://www.bol.navy.mil, click on the "ODC, OSR, PSR, ESR" link.
b. Electronic Service Record (ESR) Self-Service ESR: This can be viewed at (https://nsips.nmci.navy.mil) or on
the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) ESR server onboard ship.
c. Electronic Training Jacket (ETJ): Log-on to My Navy Portal (MNP) and review your entire ETJ making sure
that each section is correct. If not, clicking on "Data Problems" at the bottom of each page which will guide you
on how to make corrections or updates.
d. US Navy Awards website: Log onto (https://awards.navy.mil/) to review any awards you may qualify for but
were unaware of.

Career Waypoints-Reenlistment:
The Command Career Counselor is your local advocate to assist you with the Career Waypoints application process.
E3-E6 Sailors with less than 14 years of service must submit a Career Waypoints application, regardless of reenlistment intentions. Sailors who
do not desire to reenlist will submit an "intends to separate" application. Sailors not eligible for reenlistment will submit a "not eligible"
application.
The Career Waypoints system automatically generates most of the applications needed by Sailors. Applications must be submitted no later than
16 months prior to expiration of active obligated service (EAOS) or as extended (SEAOS). Sailors with less than 24 months of contract time
remaining at their projected rotation date (PRD) will submit an application 15 months prior to their PRD. In either case, the Career Waypoints
system will automatically generate applications for Sailors 18 months prior to either timeframe. Applications required outside of the established
C-Way gates can be submitted as Special Circumstance applications. Examples of when these may be needed include OBLISERVE for special
duty, decommissioning or homeport shift.
The C-Way 3-2-1 Process aligns career decisions with the detailing process. Soft End of Active Obligated Service (SEAOS)/End of Active
Obligated Service (EAOS) applications are created by C-Way at the 18 month from SEAOS/EAOS mark and must be submitted by the
Command Career Counselor at the 16 month mark. This provides time for the Career Counselor to validate the Sailor's information and to
ascertain the Sailors career intentions. The first C-Way review gate occurs from 16 to 13 months from SEAOS/EAOS with career choice
options of in-rate, conversion, and Selected Reserve. The second review gate occurs from 12 to 9 months from SEAOS/EAOS with career
choice options of conversion and Selected Reserve. From 8 months to 4 months to SEAOS/EAOS the Sailor can only choose Selected
Reserve affiliation.
Monthly reenlistment quotas are limited and must be reserved for our best and brightest Sailors who desire to Stay Navy.
Sailors must choose one of the following based on their desires and qualifications:
Reenlist-in-Rate,
Reenlist-in-rate, Willing to Convert
Convert only
SELRES option
Intend to separate
Not eligible

In February 2014, C-Way delivered auto-approval capabilities to provide reenlistment decisions on SEAOS/EAOS applications more quickly for
eligible ratings. This changed the monthly processing of reenlistment applications as described below.
If you are in an, "open" rating or a "balanced" rating in an undermanned year group or an E-6, you are eligible for reenlistment, and your
application is submitted with correct data it will be auto-approved and returned immediately, and you can reenlist.
If you are in a "competitive" rating or a balanced rating but not an undermanned year group, then your application will be processed through
the monthly Rack and Stack process. Applications submitted in one month are processed in Rack and Stack the following month.
For Nuclear ratings, all applications are reviewed by enlisted community managers on an ongoing basis throughout the processing month.
If required data is missing (evaluations, Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) data, security clearance etc.) the application will be denied with a
note to your career counselor regarding what needs to be fixed. It is critical the Command Career Counselor reviews these notes to ensure
Sailor's are not disadvantaged in their opportunities for retention.

Upon completion of the monthly process, Career Waypoints results will be available to command users via the Monthly report section of the
Career Waypoints system.

Reading, discussing, and understanding the ideas found in the CNO PRP will not only improve our critical thinking skills, but will also help us
become better Sailors, citizens, and most importantly, leaders. This list is not intended to limit professional reading or learning in any way, but
merely to provide easy access to a few of the many titles that will benefit our service.

The Chief of Naval Operations' tenets and Lines of Effort: Strengthening Naval Power at and from the Sea; Achieving Fast Learning at Every
Level; Strengthening Our Navy Team for the Future; and Expanding and Strengthening our Network of Partners. These LOEs have themes
common to all Sailors - Integrity, Accountability, Initiative, and Toughness.

The books are organized by the Lines of Effort, but there are several other categories as well. A Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority is
included in addition to a section of books - Fundamentals for the Naval Professional - that contains canonical books about warfighting, diplomacy,
and strategy. Many books on both lists are available as e-books through the Navy General Library Program.

The entire list, of over 140 book summaries and additional information is available at http://navyreading.dodlive.mil/

SELECTION BOARD CHECKLIST FOR E6 PROMOTION TO CPO

Step 1 - Review your Official Record to see what documentation, qualifications, etc. may be missing or requiring an update. This
should be accomplished every six months after promotion to Second Class. However, it is imperative that this is accomplished
six months prior to a selection board. Check the following three major sections to verify your Official Record:

a. BUPERS Online: BUPERS Online (https://www.bol.navy.mil) is your main tool to ensure your record is up to date and
helps you to be proactive in making the most of your promotion opportunity. You should review your:
1. Official Military Personnel File (OMPF): All active duty and reserve personnel having a BOL account, a CAC
(with appropriate certificates) and a CAC-enabled computer can now view their OMPF online by selecting the OMPF
option on the BOL main menu page. This is the preferred method of obtaining OMPF information to eliminate the
unnecessary time-lags caused by waiting days or weeks to receive a requested CD ROM.
2. If Deployed: Click on "Request Record on CD" to order your Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). This must be
accomplished four to six months before a board convenes, which will allow time for delivery and updating of your
record if required.
3. Check your Performance Summary Record (PSR) and Enlisted Summary Record (ESR) on
https://www.bol.navy.mil, click on the "ODC, OSR, PSR, ESR" link.
b. Electronic Service Record (ESR) Self-Service ESR: This can be viewed at (https://nsips.nmci.navy.mil) or on the Navy
Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) ESR server onboard ship.
c. Electronic Training Jacket (ETJ): Log-on to My Navy Portal (MNP) and review your entire ETJ making sure that each
section is correct. If not, clicking on "Data Problems" at the bottom of each page which will guide you on how to make
corrections or updates.
d. US Navy Awards website: Log onto (https://awards.navy.mil/) to review any awards you may qualify for but were unaware
of.

Step 2 - Submit appropriate missing documents to the selection board.

a. Selection board packages provide candidates the opportunity to submit any documents missing from the sections of their
records which are viewed by the selection boards. MILPERSMAN 1070-080 specifies which documents from the enlisted
permanent personnel record are provided to the selection board for review. Any documents the member has verified as
missing from those sections of their permanent personnel record may be submitted as a selection board package.
b. For submissions directly to the board and for those circumstances where the eligible candidate cannot get their official
record updated and confirmed prior to the selection board convening date:
1. All correspondence should be on plain white paper for readability; paper clipped (no staples, binders, folders, or tabs)
and submitted under cover letter to the president of the board. Candidates must verify the correct subject line and
board number (see below) is on their cover letters to ensure their packages appear before the proper board.
2. Correspondence must include your Full name and SSN, must be affixed and legible on all documents submitted, and
must be postmarked not later than that date listed in the associated NAVADMIN and addressed to:

NAVY PERSONNEL COMMAND CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER


PRESIDENT
FY-XX ACTIVE/RESERVE E7 ENLISTED SELECTION BOARD #XXX
5640 TICONDEROGA LOOP BLDG 768 RM E302
MILLINGTON TN 38055
(Active = 360 / SELRES = 335 / FTS = 336)

(Use of special handling mail (certified or registered) is not advised due to significant delays in handling.)

c. Ensure official record reflects any individual augmentation mission. (awards, evals, NEC, etc).
d. Check http://www.npc.navy.mil/Boards/ActiveDutyEnlisted/GeneralInformation.htm to verify that the selection board has
received your correspondence (if sent).

NOTE: It is highly recommended that if corrections or updates are made, review your OMPF, or if Deployed, re-order
your CD-Rom to confirm changes. (NOTE: Please allow 60 days for changes to take effect)

AM - Aviation Structural Mechanic Page 61 of 125                        
Step 3 - After reviewing your service record - such as evaluations, awards, qualifications, etc. - start reviewing what you can do to
improve yourself, such as:

a. Request a Career Development Board (CDB) through your chain of command.


b. Take a good, hard look at the type of Collateral Duties you are assigned. Review your command collateral duties
instruction and talk with your COC and / or appear before the CDB. Take the tough command duties that provide the most
involvement in the command as a whole and that have direct sailor support.
c. Review your current level of education to see how far along you are in earning a college degree and pursue non-resident
Navy courses to expand your level of knowledge. Complete the Navy e-Learning courses on MNP that are recommended
in this document.
d. Check out OTHER Learning Opportunities to add to your service record, such as the CANTRAC Volume I (Training
Facilities) and CANTRAC Volume II (Course Descriptions) at https://main.prod.cetars.training.navy.mil/cetars/main.html.

Step 4 - Review qualifications that your rating values or requires for advancement and create a plan to earn these important pieces
in the professional growth and advancement puzzle. Read the applicable NAVADMIN for additional dates and information, and
review previous selection board precepts.

Step 5 - Prepare for the next CPO Advancement Exam cycle in January for Active Duty & February for Reserves as soon as the
Bibliography References are posted six months prior in July. Use the Navy Advancement Center info and website listed above in
the advancement section.

Career Waypoints-Reenlistment:
The Command Career Counselor is your local advocate to assist you with the Career Waypoints application process.
E3-E6 Sailors with less than 14 years of service must submit a Career Waypoints application, regardless of reenlistment intentions. Sailors who
do not desire to reenlist will submit an "intends to separate" application. Sailors not eligible for reenlistment will submit a "not eligible"
application.
The Career Waypoints system automatically generates most of the applications needed by Sailors. Applications must be submitted no later than
16 months prior to expiration of active obligated service (EAOS) or as extended (SEAOS). Sailors with less than 24 months of contract time
remaining at their projected rotation date (PRD) will submit an application 15 months prior to their PRD. In either case, the Career Waypoints
system will automatically generate applications for Sailors 18 months prior to either timeframe. Applications required outside of the established
C-Way gates can be submitted as Special Circumstance applications. Examples of when these may be needed include OBLISERVE for special
duty, decommissioning or homeport shift.
The C-Way 3-2-1 Process aligns career decisions with the detailing process. Soft End of Active Obligated Service (SEAOS)/End of Active
Obligated Service (EAOS) applications are created by C-Way at the 18 month from SEAOS/EAOS mark and must be submitted by the
Command Career Counselor at the 16 month mark. This provides time for the Career Counselor to validate the Sailor's information and to
ascertain the Sailors career intentions. The first C-Way review gate occurs from 16 to 13 months from SEAOS/EAOS with career choice
options of in-rate, conversion, and Selected Reserve. The second review gate occurs from 12 to 9 months from SEAOS/EAOS with career
choice options of conversion and Selected Reserve. From 8 months to 4 months to SEAOS/EAOS the Sailor can only choose Selected
Reserve affiliation.
Monthly reenlistment quotas are limited and must be reserved for our best and brightest Sailors who desire to Stay Navy.
Sailors must choose one of the following based on their desires and qualifications:
Reenlist-in-Rate,
Reenlist-in-rate, Willing to Convert
Convert only
SELRES option
Intend to separate
Not eligible

In February 2014, C-Way delivered auto-approval capabilities to provide reenlistment decisions on SEAOS/EAOS applications more quickly for
eligible ratings. This changed the monthly processing of reenlistment applications as described below.
If you are in an, "open" rating or a "balanced" rating in an undermanned year group or an E-6, you are eligible for reenlistment, and your
application is submitted with correct data it will be auto-approved and returned immediately, and you can reenlist.
If you are in a "competitive" rating or a balanced rating but not an undermanned year group, then your application will be processed through
the monthly Rack and Stack process. Applications submitted in one month are processed in Rack and Stack the following month.
For Nuclear ratings, all applications are reviewed by enlisted community managers on an ongoing basis throughout the processing month.
If required data is missing (evaluations, Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) data, security clearance etc.) the application will be denied with a
note to your career counselor regarding what needs to be fixed. It is critical the Command Career Counselor reviews these notes to ensure
Sailor's are not disadvantaged in their opportunities for retention.

Upon completion of the monthly process, Career Waypoints results will be available to command users via the Monthly report section of the
Career Waypoints system.

Courses with Recommended Reserve Points:


Commander Navy Reserve Forces (CNRF) N7 determines the number of reserve points awarded for completion of a course taken on Navy E-
Learning. This listing should only be used as a guide and is subject to change by direction of CNFR N7.
Navy E-Learning has no control over how many, if any, reserve points are eventually awarded for the completion of a course. All questions
concerning the award of reserve points should be directed to CNFR N7.

Reading, discussing, and understanding the ideas found in the CNO PRP will not only improve our critical thinking skills, but will also help us
become better Sailors, citizens, and most importantly, leaders. This list is not intended to limit professional reading or learning in any way, but
merely to provide easy access to a few of the many titles that will benefit our service.

The Chief of Naval Operations' tenets and Lines of Effort: Strengthening Naval Power at and from the Sea; Achieving Fast Learning at Every
Level; Strengthening Our Navy Team for the Future; and Expanding and Strengthening our Network of Partners. These LOEs have themes
common to all Sailors - Integrity, Accountability, Initiative, and Toughness.

The books are organized by the Lines of Effort, but there are several other categories as well. A Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority is
included in addition to a section of books - Fundamentals for the Naval Professional - that contains canonical books about warfighting, diplomacy,
and strategy. Many books on both lists are available as e-books through the Navy General Library Program.

The entire list, of over 140 book summaries and additional information is available at http://navyreading.dodlive.mil/

SELECTION BOARD CHECKLIST FOR CPO PROMOTION TO SCPO

Step 1 - Review your Official Record to see what documentation, qualifications, etc. may be missing or requiring an update. This
should be accomplished every six months after promotion to Second Class. However, it is imperative that this is accomplished
six months prior to a selection board. Check the following three major sections to verify your Official Record:

a. BUPERS Online: BUPERS Online (https://www.bol.navy.mil) is your main tool to ensure your record is up to date and
helps you to be proactive in making the most of your promotion opportunity. You should review your:
1. Official Military Personnel File (OMPF): All active duty and reserve personnel having a BOL account, a CAC
(with appropriate certificates) and a CAC-enabled computer can now view their OMPF online by selecting the OMPF
option on the BOL main menu page. This is the preferred method of obtaining OMPF information to eliminate the
unnecessary time-lags caused by waiting days or weeks to receive a requested CD ROM.
2. If Deployed: Click on "Request Record on CD" to order your Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). This must be
accomplished four to six months before a board convenes, which will allow time for delivery and updating of your
record if required.
3. Check your Performance Summary Record (PSR) and Enlisted Summary Record (ESR) on
https://www.bol.navy.mil, click on the "ODC, OSR, PSR, ESR" link.
b. Electronic Service Record (ESR) Self-Service ESR: This can be viewed at (https://nsips.nmci.navy.mil) or on the Navy
Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) ESR server onboard ship.
c. Electronic Training Jacket (ETJ): Log-on to My Navy Portal (MNP) and review your entire ETJ making sure that each
section is correct. If not, clicking on "Data Problems" at the bottom of each page which will guide you on how to make
corrections or updates.
d. US Navy Awards website: Log onto (https://awards.navy.mil/) to review any awards you may qualify for but were unaware
of.

Step 2 - Submit appropriate missing documents to the selection board.

a. Selection board packages provide candidates the opportunity to submit any documents missing from the sections of their
records which are viewed by the selection boards. MILPERSMAN 1070-080 specifies which documents from the enlisted
permanent personnel record are provided to the selection board for review. Any documents the member has verified as
missing from those sections of their permanent personnel record may be submitted as a selection board package.
b. For submissions directly to the board and for those circumstances where the eligible candidate cannot get their official
record updated and confirmed prior to the selection board convening date:
1. All correspondence should be on plain white paper for readability; paper clipped (no staples, binders, folders, or tabs)
and submitted under cover letter to the president of the board. Candidates must verify the correct subject line and
board number (see below) is on their cover letters to ensure their packages appear before the proper board.
2. Correspondence must include your Full name and SSN, must be affixed and legible on all documents submitted, and
must be postmarked not later than that date listed in the associated NAVADMIN and addressed to:

NAVY PERSONNEL COMMAND CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER


PRESIDENT
FY-XX ACTIVE/RESERVE E8 ENLISTED SELECTION BOARD #XXX
5640 TICONDEROGA LOOP BLDG 768 RM E302
MILLINGTON TN 38055
(Active = 235 / SELRES = 205 / FTS = 206)

(Use of special handling mail (certified or registered) is not advised due to significant delays in handling.)

c. Ensure official record reflects any individual augmentation mission. (awards, evals, NEC, etc).
d. Check http://www.npc.navy.mil/Boards/ActiveDutyEnlisted/GeneralInformation.htm to verify that the selection board has
received your correspondence (if sent).

NOTE: It is highly recommended that if corrections or updates are made, review your OMPF, or if Deployed, re-order
your CD-Rom to confirm changes. (NOTE: Please allow 60 days for changes to take effect)

AM - Aviation Structural Mechanic Page 78 of 125                        
Step 3 - After reviewing your service record - such as evaluations, awards, qualifications, etc. - start reviewing what you can do to
improve yourself, such as:

a. Request a Career Development Board (CDB) through your chain of command.


b. Take a good, hard look at the type of Collateral Duties you are assigned. Review your command collateral duties
instruction and talk with your COC and / or appear before the CDB. Take the tough command duties that provide the most
involvement in the command as a whole and that have direct sailor support.
c. Review your current level of education to see how far along you are in earning a college degree and pursue non-resident
Navy courses to expand your level of knowledge. Complete the Navy e-Learning courses on MNP that are recommended
in this document.
d. Check out OTHER Learning Opportunities to add to your service record, such as the CANTRAC Volume I (Training
Facilities) and CANTRAC Volume II (Course Descriptions) at https://main.prod.cetars.training.navy.mil/cetars/main.html.

Step 4 - Review qualifications that your rating values or requires for advancement and create a plan to earn these important pieces
in the professional growth and advancement puzzle. Read the applicable NAVADMIN for additional dates and information, and
review previous selection board precepts.

Reading, discussing, and understanding the ideas found in the CNO PRP will not only improve our critical thinking skills, but will also help us
become better Sailors, citizens, and most importantly, leaders. This list is not intended to limit professional reading or learning in any way, but
merely to provide easy access to a few of the many titles that will benefit our service.

The Chief of Naval Operations' tenets and Lines of Effort: Strengthening Naval Power at and from the Sea; Achieving Fast Learning at Every
Level; Strengthening Our Navy Team for the Future; and Expanding and Strengthening our Network of Partners. These LOEs have themes
common to all Sailors - Integrity, Accountability, Initiative, and Toughness.

The books are organized by the Lines of Effort, but there are several other categories as well. A Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority is
included in addition to a section of books - Fundamentals for the Naval Professional - that contains canonical books about warfighting, diplomacy,
and strategy. Many books on both lists are available as e-books through the Navy General Library Program.

The entire list, of over 140 book summaries and additional information is available at http://navyreading.dodlive.mil/

SELECTION BOARD CHECKLIST FOR SCPO PROMOTION TO MCPO
Step 1 - Review your Official Record to see what documentation, qualifications, etc. may be missing or requiring an update. This
should be accomplished every six months after promotion to Second Class. However, it is imperative that this is accomplished
six months prior to a selection board. Check the following three major sections to verify your Official Record:

a. BUPERS Online: BUPERS Online (https://www.bol.navy.mil) is your main tool to ensure your record is up to date and
helps you to be proactive in making the most of your promotion opportunity. You should review your:
1. Official Military Personnel File (OMPF): All active duty and reserve personnel having a BOL account, a CAC
(with appropriate certificates) and a CAC-enabled computer can now view their OMPF online by selecting the OMPF
option on the BOL main menu page. This is the preferred method of obtaining OMPF information to eliminate the
unnecessary time-lags caused by waiting days or weeks to receive a requested CD ROM.
2. If Deployed: Click on "Request Record on CD" to order your Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). This must be
accomplished four to six months before a board convenes, which will allow time for delivery and updating of your
record if required.
3. Check your Performance Summary Record (PSR) and Enlisted Summary Record (ESR) on
https://www.bol.navy.mil, click on the "ODC, OSR, PSR, ESR" link.
b. Electronic Service Record (ESR) Self-Service ESR: This can be viewed at (https://nsips.nmci.navy.mil) or on the Navy
Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) ESR server onboard ship.
c. Electronic Training Jacket (ETJ): Log-on to My Navy Portal (MNP) and review your entire ETJ making sure that each
section is correct. If not, clicking on "Data Problems" at the bottom of each page which will guide you on how to make
corrections or updates.
d. US Navy Awards website: Log onto (https://awards.navy.mil/) to review any awards you may qualify for but were unaware
of.

Step 2 - Submit appropriate missing documents to the selection board.

a. Selection board packages provide candidates the opportunity to submit any documents missing from the sections of their
records which are viewed by the selection boards. MILPERSMAN 1070-080 specifies which documents from the enlisted
permanent personnel record are provided to the selection board for review. Any documents the member has verified as
missing from those sections of their permanent personnel record may be submitted as a selection board package.
b. For submissions directly to the board and for those circumstances where the eligible candidate cannot get their official
record updated and confirmed prior to the selection board convening date:
1. All correspondence should be on plain white paper for readability; paper clipped (no staples, binders, folders, or tabs)
and submitted under cover letter to the president of the board. Candidates must verify the correct subject line and
board number (see below) is on their cover letters to ensure their packages appear before the proper board.
2. Correspondence must include your Full name and SSN, must be affixed and legible on all documents submitted, and
must be postmarked not later than that date listed in the associated NAVADMIN and addressed to:

NAVY PERSONNEL COMMAND CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER


PRESIDENT
FY-XX ACTIVE/RESERVE E9 ENLISTED SELECTION BOARD #XXX
5640 TICONDEROGA LOOP BLDG 768 RM E302
MILLINGTON TN 38055
(Active = 210 / SELRES = 205 / FTS = 206)

(Use of special handling mail (certified or registered) is not advised due to significant delays in handling.)

c. Ensure official record reflects any individual augmentation mission. (awards, evals, NEC, etc).
d. Check http://www.npc.navy.mil/Boards/ActiveDutyEnlisted/GeneralInformation.htm to verify that the selection board has
received your correspondence (if sent).

NOTE: It is highly recommended that if corrections or updates are made, review your OMPF, or if Deployed, re-order
your CD-Rom to confirm changes. (NOTE: Please allow 60 days for changes to take effect)

AM - Aviation Structural Mechanic Page 93 of 125                        
Step 3 - After reviewing your service record - such as evaluations, awards, qualifications, etc. - start reviewing what you can do to
improve yourself, such as:

a. Request a Career Development Board (CDB) through your chain of command.


b. Take a good, hard look at the type of Collateral Duties you are assigned. Review your command collateral duties
instruction and talk with your COC and / or appear before the CDB. Take the tough command duties that provide the most
involvement in the command as a whole and that have direct sailor support.
c. Review your current level of education to see how far along you are in earning a college degree and pursue non-resident
Navy courses to expand your level of knowledge. Complete the Navy e-Learning courses on MNP that are recommended
in this document.
d. Check out OTHER Learning Opportunities to add to your service record, such as the CANTRAC Volume I (Training
Facilities) and CANTRAC Volume II (Course Descriptions) at https://main.prod.cetars.training.navy.mil/cetars/main.html.

Step 4 - Review qualifications that your rating values or requires for advancement and create a plan to earn these important pieces
in the professional growth and advancement puzzle. Read the applicable NAVADMIN for additional dates and information, and
review previous selection board precepts.

Reading, discussing, and understanding the ideas found in the CNO PRP will not only improve our critical thinking skills, but will also help us
become better Sailors, citizens, and most importantly, leaders. This list is not intended to limit professional reading or learning in any way, but
merely to provide easy access to a few of the many titles that will benefit our service.

The Chief of Naval Operations' tenets and Lines of Effort: Strengthening Naval Power at and from the Sea; Achieving Fast Learning at Every
Level; Strengthening Our Navy Team for the Future; and Expanding and Strengthening our Network of Partners. These LOEs have themes
common to all Sailors - Integrity, Accountability, Initiative, and Toughness.

The books are organized by the Lines of Effort, but there are several other categories as well. A Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority is
included in addition to a section of books - Fundamentals for the Naval Professional - that contains canonical books about warfighting, diplomacy,
and strategy. Many books on both lists are available as e-books through the Navy General Library Program.

The entire list, of over 140 book summaries and additional information is available at http://navyreading.dodlive.mil/

NAVY PROFESSIONAL READING PROGRAM (PRP)

The purpose of the Chief of Naval Operations Professional Reading Program (CNO PRP), maintained by CNO PRP program managers at the
U.S. Naval War College, is to facilitate the professional and personal development of all Sailors. For additional information on the CNO PRP visit
http://navyreading.dodlive.mil/

Reading, discussing, and understanding the ideas found in the CNO PRP will not only improve our critical thinking skills, but will also help us
become better Sailors, citizens, and most importantly, leaders. This list is not intended to limit professional reading or learning in any way, but
merely to provide easy access to a few of the many titles that will benefit our service.

The Chief of Naval Operations' tenets and Lines of Effort: Strengthening Naval Power at and from the Sea; Achieving Fast Learning at Every
Level; Strengthening Our Navy Team for the Future; and Expanding and Strengthening our Network of Partners. These LOEs have themes
common to all Sailors - Integrity, Accountability, Initiative, and Toughness.

The books are organized by the Lines of Effort, but there are several other categories as well. A Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority is
included in addition to a section of books - Fundamentals for the Naval Professional - that contains canonical books about warfighting, diplomacy,
and strategy. Many books on both lists are available as e-books through the Navy General Library Program.

The entire list, of over 140 book summaries and additional information is available at http://navyreading.dodlive.mil/

Note: Prior to considering any pursuit of off duty education or program enrollment contact the Navy College Virtual Education
Center (NCVEC) or visit your Overseas Navy College Office.

You must complete the Tuition Assistance Training before your first course will be approved.

Complete the online courses at the Navy College Website: http://www.navycollege.navy.mil/

How do I get started?

You already have. All your training up to this point is part of your Aviation Structural Mechanic Roadmap. Now that you have made the first
steps you will need to sit down and formulate a plan. This plan will work best if you start out discussing your options with your Leading Chief Petty
Officer, Leading Petty Officer, Mentor, or Career Counselor. They will help you understand all of the basics. Then your next step is to contact the
Navy College Virtual Education Center or visit your Overseas Navy College Office. Then your counselors will be able to help you formalize your
plan and make sure that it makes sense for both you and the Navy. To aid you in your conversation with these professionals, here are a few
questions that you may want to ask.

What credits do you have? What non-college courses have you taken? Where do you want to go? What field of study, or what kind of degree?
What program will help me get there, Traditional or Online, What are my next steps: Transfer credits, Take exams, Have experience evaluated,
Then lastly sign up for new courses?

GENERAL INFORMATION ON VOLUNTARY EDUCATION
The Navy College Program & Web Page:
The Navy College Program (NCP) provides opportunities to Sailors to earn college degrees by providing academic credit for
Navy training, work experience, and off-duty education. The NCP mission is to enable Sailors to obtain a college degree while on
active duty. In support of the four R's- Recruiting, Readiness, Retention, and Respect, the NCP signifies Navy's commitment to
education by improving enlistment appeal, demonstrating Navy service and achieving a college degree are compatible, helping
Sailors apply themselves to new situations and challenges and better preparing them for advancement, building up Sailors' self-
image, and producing higher quality Sailors. More information is available online at: https://www.navycollege.navy.mil

Tuition Assistance (TA):


TA provides funds for eligible active-duty personnel to attend approved educational institutions on an off-duty basis to earn a high
school diploma, vocational/technical certificate, or college degree. TA pays for tuition and fees directly associated with the
course of instruction. TA will pay for $4,500 per fiscal year: not-to-exceed $250/credit or 24 quarter hours, not-to-exceed
$166.67/credit or 240 clock hours (CH), not-to-exceed $16.67/CH or a combination of semester and quarter hours.

Joint Service Transcripts (JST)


JSTs are official military transcripts which are used by colleges to validate your actual credited training. Every Sailor has a
transcript already and access to it is free. More information is available online at: https://jst.doded.mil/

The American Council on Education (ACE)


ACE has reviewed every course listed in the OCCUPATIONAL Roadmap and determined what type of collegiate level credit is
recommended. The ACE identifier, listed with each course, is a source to validate the information and to check for changes as
they occur. Updates can be found at http://www.acenet.edu/news-room/Pages/Military-Guide-Online.aspx.

Vocational Certificates
Vocational Certificates are available from most community colleges. Most of your military training can be counted toward their
degree programs, but they will still require residency credits and approximately 40-75 credit hours. These certificates can be as
valuable as the apprenticeship program in the civilian work force.

College credits by Testing CLEP, DSST


Testing can replace the requirement to attend most of the college courses listed in the Occupational Roadmap. Base Education
Centers offer CLEP and DSST exams for active duty military at no cost. They also offer a comprehensive list of "credit-by-exam"
tests. Additionally, many of the tests have study guides available. These tests are available at the base education center or through
the base library system. For specific testing locations visit the DANTES website.

DANTES: http://www.dantes.doded.mil/examinations/earn-college-credit/earn-college-credit.html

College Entrance Exams Testing ACT, SAT


The ACT and SAT are both standardized tests that help colleges evaluate candidates. Many colleges require that students submit
test results as part of the admission application process. Since Sailors are considered transfer students, these tests are not
generally required for admission. However, some Sailors must take the tests to enter specific military programs.
