Statistically, Sailors submit an average of 2.3 applications per cycle, and many wait until their last month to apply for anything at all. This leaves both rollers and reqs in the system for an unnecessarily long time. If a Red Zone job gets NO applications, Sailors in their detailing window may be selected to fill it WHETHER OR NOT they submitted applications this cycle. This will discourage Sailors from “hiding” from the process in the hopes all Red Zone jobs will be filled before they apply. NOTE: When searching for non-vols, Detailers will always begin in the P7 window before considering P8 and P9 Sailors in that order. Failure to submit an application by P7 under these proposed business rules allows Detailers to detail using Needs of the Navy business rules two months earlier, which is advantageous for screenings, etc. APP WINDOW to P7-P9: Although the number of months that the Sailor will have to negotiate for orders will be reduced from five months to three months, this will actually provide the Sailor with a greater opportunity to qualify for more career enhancing billets by providing more time to screen for special programs and overseas duty. The reduction in negotiation time will be off-set by the proposal to significantly increase the number of requisitions advertised, and will clearly be in the Sailors better interests and favor.
The road to success for every Sailor looks like this. The primary driver in success is the early engagement of the Sailor at the 12 month point.
