current and prospective women serving in the afloat community. This
message provides additional information to all enlisted women who
desire to compete for afloat assignments in AY19.

early in the AY and intends on letting everyone who is tour complete in
AY19 compete for afloat assignments beginning in November.
3. EPM-2 encourages all tour-complete enlisted women desiring afloat
positions to engage directly with the Women Afloat Coordinator,
SKC Giovanny Maria to discuss afloat opportunities and berthing
availabilities. Additionally, the Woman Afloat Portal, Ref (E),
will be updated regularly and should be reviewed for information
affecting women afloat opportunities and assignments.
4. The AY19 shopping list is scheduled to be published on or
about 28 September 2018. Women who highly desire afloat assignment,
are considered
sea duty candidates, or need sea time to advance, should prioritize
