4. Assignment information updates, webinars, roadshow information, and a
listing of unexpected vacancies can be found on the EM AO Sharepoint page at
reference (B).
5. General assignment guidance:
A. Slating: The AO will always use reference (A) when selecting members for
transfer during the assignment slating process. Sea duty candidates are
identified as E-4 through E-6 with less than the required 36 months rated sea
time for E-7 as per reference (E).
B. Command Endorsements: It is imperative that each member works with their
command to ensure they meet the specific requirements for positions that
require an endorsement and that an appropriate endorsement is included with
each e-Resume submission. Failure to include an appropriate endorsement
where required will prohibit a member from earning those positions. Refer to
reference (A) for additional guidance on endorsements.
C. Fleet-Ups and Extensions: Commands should communicate fleet-up
opportunities and extension endorsements through their command concerns.
The AO will maximize fleet-up opportunities and approved extensions where
available in accordance with reference (A) for
members in non-command cadre positions. Once a position has been shopped
on the official shopping list, members will be required to compete for an
extension and shall submit a command endorsed e-Resume according to the
timeline below.
D. The Unofficial Shopping List is a snapshot of expected vacancies posted in
Direct Access (DA) and its intended purpose is for commands to view and
validate position vacancies. Members eligible for rotation should in no way
assume it as official or submit e-Resumes during its release. Members
are encouraged to use it for research purposes only.
E. AO’s are prohibited from assigning members in anticipation of billet
reprogramming. DA is the primary tool for AO’s to advertise open or newly
established positions. Vacant positions may also be found at reference (B).
6. Engineering Petty Officer (EPO) submission guidance and screening process
will be advertised in a separate message.
7. PATFORSWA AY24 solicitation will be advertised in a separate message,
general information about PATFORSWA can be found at reference (C).
8. Advancement: Members and commands are reminded that as outlined in
