Career Development Board & Tools
Everything You Need To Know in Career Development Board – Tools, Guidance & Updates
Career Development Board (CDB) is now more important and critical than ever before. Navy Career
Wise picked CDB as a special topic this month because it covers the entire career of a Sailor – a
process that everyone in the Navy should have, at least three times in each tour whether it’s for
PTS, Transitioning, Advancement and other scenarios when a Sailor has to make an important
decision. Without a CDB, I could give you at least 5 of the many things that could happen:
1. Failure to reenlist on time because Sailor did not have the information on the requirements.
2. Failure to correct records therefore failure to advance or get the other requirements on time.
3. Failure to obtain benefits and entitlements because Sailor has been getting unsupported
information.
4. Failure to complete the mission because Sailor has been misinformed or did not have an
opportunity to officially address important issues.
5. Failure to document commitments and follow up because there is no accountability that only a
CDB can do.
This list could go on and on but a CDB can happen and it is just a matter of investing that 20-30
minutes of your time together as CCC, CMC, Mentor, Division Officer, including XO & LPO and
talk about all the issues related to our Sailor’s career, family, benefits, and their goals. Navy
Career Wise 51st Black edition has all the sources you need to make this happen. (NCC Astro,

9. CDB Steps for CCC, CMC & Board Members
Each CDB should function to anticipate the needs of a member rather than wait for the member to
request assistance. CDBs are not designed to circumvent the chain of command but to function
within the chain of command to give personnel accurate and up to date information and sound advice.
1. Get involved: Leadership involvement,
primarily by the command senior enlisted
leader (CMC/COB/CSC), the chief’s mess and
the command career counselor (CCC), is
critical to the success of every Sailor. CDBs
are required within 30 days of a Sailor

the people they work for and work with. OPNAVINST 1040.11C via these links for
additional information and situations to
conduct a CDB.
2. Establish who will be in the Career Development Board. Membership should include but is not
limited to the command senior enlisted leader, command career counselor, education services
officer, department and division leading chief, department and division career counselor, division
officer, leading petty officer, and most importantly, the Sailor.
3. An effective CDB can normally be completed in 20 to 30 minutes and should include information
and discussion on watch and warfare qualifications, education, advancement, pay and financial
management, family readiness, rating health, perform to serve process and considerations,
command expectations, and defining the Sailors personal and professional goals.
4. CDBs are tracked and notes are recorded in the Career Information Management System (CIMS) to
9
ensure progress is monitored and can be reviewed by commands that Sailors may transfer to
beyond their current command.

ord 10 Tips To Successful Navy Career by NCC Astro
tW
Las
•Get A Mentor. They can assist you in ways you may not be aware of and they can give you some of the unwritten rules for
success.
•Use all the Navy Career Tools. Navy is definitely going online with many of the services that can help you have a squared away
career. Check all few of them identified in this Career Wise edition.
•Develop a Plan. Find out what is your short and long term plan and write it down. This will give you a visual map to attain your
goal.
•Set up a Career Development Board (CDB). This will create an accountability of what you need to do by having your LPO, LCPO,
CMC & CCC be aware of how far you have been and where you are going in the future.
•Use Tuition Assistance or NCPACE to get you prepared in case you separate. Many Sailors have completed their Bachelors Degree
without even using their GI Bill. Save up your GI Bill by using your TA benefits.
•Attend a TAP Class – If you are undecided and unsure if the Navy is the right career for you.
• Prepare yourself for the job of the leader at the next higher rank, volunteer to take on challenging tasks and be open to learning.
•Develop a Financial Plan. If you have a poor financial health, it affects your job and ability to focus in your work. Setup a budget
or talk to your Command Financial Specialist.
•Be Involved with your Community, this will expand your horizon and get you time-off, away from military obligations and have
that self-fulfillment that you really have contributed something to the society. It’s an added bullet for your evaluations too.
•Train yourself in other Jobs. With PTS requirements some of you may be forced to convert to another rate, so be prepared.
Talk to your Career Counselors to get more successful Navy career ideas. 23
