CAREER ROADMAP
Seaman Recruit to Master Chief Roadmap
The educational roadmap below will assist Sailors in the Master-At-Arms 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 Master-At-Arms?
Master-At-Arms roadmaps are just what the name implies - a roadmap through the Enlisted Learning and Development
Continuum from Seaman 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 Master-At-Arms roadmap includes the four areas encompassed by the Continuum in Professional Military Education to
include; Navy Professional Military Education (NPME), Joint Professional Military Education (JPME), Leadership and Advanced
Education.
Sometrainingandeducationismandatory(RecruitTraining,Master-at-ArmsClass“A”SchoolatNTTC,LacklandAFB,San
Antonio, TX, 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 OCONUS Education Office's vast
resources. All are uniquely qualified to help you along the way.

Notes:
1. “A” school is required
2. All Master-At-Arms (MA) must focus on primary duties and qualify to rank and respective TYCOM
requirements as quickly as possible. Equally important is maintaining security clearance eligibility, weapons
proficiency and worldwide assignability to meet rating needs.
3. MA’s do not have a typical Sea-Shore Flow model, rather the rating operates as a CONUS/OCONUS (or
INUS/OUTUS) rotation with OCONUS or OUTUS tours counting as sea tours for rotational purposes. Shore billets
account for approximately 70% of MA funded billets. With this in mind, all attempts should be made by the
individual to take a sea or deploying billet whenever possible. There is also a requirement for two isolated duty
(without family members) tours during career. Maintaining a diverse history of assignments throughout the Navy
Security Force specialties enhances chances for advancement.
a. MA Billet Selection. Top enlisted MA personnel will be relied upon as advisors to Commanding
Officers and Flag Officers. As such, it is imperative our top enlisted personnel have experience in the majority of
our Security Force Specialties:
MA CAREER PATH
(SW/AW/EXW)

Revised: December 2019
(1) SWFPAC, SWFLANT, TACAMO (VQ Det) assignments. These assignments should be
considered career enhancing due to the unique qualifications required and are considered arduous duty. These tours
are counted as a Sea Tour for rotational purposes.
(2) Dependent Restricted Tours (DRT) in Souda Bay Crete, Diego Garcia, Bahrain, El Salvador,
Bahamas, Deveselu Romania, and Redzikow, Poland. MAs should expect two dependent restricted tours in their
career. These assignments should be career enhancing and are considered arduous duty. These tours are counted as
a Sea Tour for rotational purposes.
(3) Independent Duty Ship tours. (Ensure active involvement with the FCPOA/CPO Mess as
appropriate to paygrade and holding a major collateral duty in order to be competitive amongst peers and at the
selection boards).
(4) Type 4 forward deployed forces (overseas sea duty)
b. Duty Types. Types of duty offer the potential to attain NEC’s and warfare designations. MA’s should
take advantage of these opportunities to stay competitive for advancement:
(1) Installation Security. MAs provide Force Protection support for the Installation Commanding
Officer with the mission of protecting the installation, it’s assets, and it’s personnel. MAs assigned to installations
currently do not have the opportunity to obtain a warfare qualification. NECs 717B, 718B, P01A, P02A, P05A,
P06A and 804A are associated with installation security tours.
(2) Harbor Patrol Unit (HPU). MAs assigned to the HPU operate small craft providing point and
area security for waterside assets and ports. Additionally, HPUs may conduct High Value Unit (HVU) escorts.
MAs assigned to HPUs currently do not have the opportunity to obtain a warfare qualification. Although not
inclusive in all units, MAs assigned to an HPU may be eligible to qualify for the Small Craft Insignia. NEC 853A,
P03A, P04A are associated with HPU tours.
(3) Expeditionary Forces. MAs assigned to the Expeditionary Forces will be assigned to the
Coastal Riverine Force (CRF). The CRF encompasses both the Maritime Expeditionary Security Force (MESF) and
Riverine mission sets. A tour in CRF is a Sea Tour. MAs assigned to the CRF may be performing duties in boat
operations, Aircraft Security Team (AST), Embarked Security Team (EST), Joint Terminal Air Controller (JTAC),
Visit, Board, HVU escorts, Search and Seizure (VBSS), Expeditionary Designated Marksman (EDM),
Expeditionary Small Arms Marksmanship Instructor (ESAMI), and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance
(ISR) operations. All MAs assigned to Expeditionary Units are required to qualify as Expeditionary Warfare
Specialist (EXWS) within 12 months of assignment. NECs 717B, 718B, 804A, 804G, 804A and 0190 are
associated with Expeditionary tours.
(4) Strategic Systems Programs (SSP). MAs assigned to this type of duty conduct security
operations for strategic assets at either Strategic Weapons Facility (SWF) Atlantic or Pacific. MAs assigned to a
SWF are regulated by the Personnel Reliability Program (PRP) and attached to a Marine Corps Security Force
Battalion. MAs assigned to this duty type conduct security operations, HPU, or Military Working Dog (MWD)
duties. MAs assigned to SWF do not have the opportunity to obtain a warfare qualification. MAs assigned to SWF
are authorized to wear Enlisted Nuclear Weapons Security (NWS) Breast Insignia after qualification in the highest
watch station commensurate with their paygrade and maintaining PRP certification for 12 months. A star is earned
for each consecutive 12 months of maintaining qualifications thereafter. NECs 717B, 718B, P05A, P06A, 804A,
853A, P10A are associated with SSP tours.
(5) TACAMO (VQ3/VQ4/SCW-1). MAs assigned to this type of duty conduct security
operations for strategic aircraft. MAs assigned to TACMO are regulated by the PRP. VQ3 with UIC 55154 and
VQ4 with UIC 42065 are considered sea duty for MAs. Other VQ detachments are considered shore duty. SCW-1
with UIC 55575 is considered shore duty, but remains regulated by PRP. MAs assigned to VQ may have the
opportunity to qualify Enlisted Aviation Warfare Specialist (EAWS).

Revised: December 2019
(6) Afloat Security. MAs in this duty type conduct in port and underway Force Protection
operations onboard LHA, LHD and CVNs. MAs may be used for Antiterrorism operations, Physical Security, Law
Enforcement, investigations, brig operations and training for the Ship’s Self Defense Force. All MAs assigned to
this duty type have the opportunity to qualify as Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist (ESWS). All Sailors must
qualify ESWS within a predetermined timeframe established by the member’s command. MAs assigned to this type
of duty may also have the opportunity to qualify as EAWS. NECs P01A, P02A, P08A, P12A, and 804A are
associated with afloat security tours.
(7) Chief Master-at-Arms (CMAA). MACSs are normally assigned to LPDs, MACs are normally
assigned to CGs, and MA1s are normally assigned to DDG’s. These MAs manage the Force Protection program,
train and qualify the Ship’s Self-Defense Force, conduct investigations, perform legal officer functions, and assist
the Commanding Officer in maintaining good order and discipline. All MAs assigned to this duty type must qualify
ESWS within a predetermined timeframe established by the member’s command. NECs P01A, P02A, and 804A are
associated with Afloat Independent Duty CMAA tours.
(8) Military Working Dog (MWD). MWDs are assigned to Installation Security, Strategic
Weapons Facilities (SWF). NEC P05A, MWD Handler, and/ or NEC P06A, Kennel Master/Trainer, is required for
MWD tours. NEC P05A, and a minimum of four (4) years of MWD handler experience, is a prerequisite for NEC
P06A. NEC P05A and NEC P06A may also be assigned to Naval Special Warfare units. NEC P06A is generally
reserved for qualified MA1s and above. Qualified MA2s may obtain NEC P06A; however, will not fill a KM billet
until they are advanced to MA1. The MWD Program Manager approves P05A/P06A recommendations. Normally,
MA1s will be assigned as Kennel Masters to installations with less than eight (8) MWDs or as MWD Trainer at
larger kennels or Regional MWD staff. MACs and above are assigned as Kennel Masters, MWD Trainers, NCIS
STAAT Assessors, CNIC CART Assessors, and Regional or Fleet Kennel Masters. An MACM will normally fill
the MWD Program Manager assignment. MWD Teams routinely deploy in support of overseas contingency
operations, Presidential/Head of State missions and other VIP/ special event missions. Duty type for MWD
Handlers is commensurate with the unit to which they are assigned. Duty rotation operates as a CONUS-OCONUS
(or INUS/OUTUS) rotation, with a majority of the billets being CONUS. Duty rotation for NEC P06A may include
back-to-back CONUS tours. Since this is a closed loop program, MWD Handlers do not have the opportunity for a
warfare qualification. MAs may be assigned as MWD Handler, MWD Trainer, Kennel Master or perform MWD
Instructor duties.
(9) Protective Service Detail (PSD). MAs within a PSD are assigned to the Naval Criminal
Investigative Service (NCIS). MAs conducting PSD missions provide protection for designated High Risk
Personnel (HRP). These duties include site surveys, planning, and pedestrian/vehicle security. MAs assigned to
PSD missions do not have the opportunity for a warfare qualification. NEC P09A is required for PSD tours.
c. Other Tours. In addition to the main duty types, MAs conduct duties that support the NSF, the Fleet and
other commands. These tours are diverse in nature and are considered SHORE DUTY.
(1) Instructor Duty. MAs are assigned to CENSECFOR and other training centers as instructors.
This duty is considered vital to the sustained health of the Naval Security Force (NSF). MAs assigned to Instructor
Duty have the opportunity to qualify as a Master Training Specialist.
(2) Staff Duty. MAs are assigned to various TYCOM, FLEET, COCOM and other staffs. These
MAs primarily conduct antiterrorism (AT) planning and assessments of subordinate units.
(3) Training and Assessment Teams.
(a) Security Training and Assessment Teams (STAAT) is a subordinate unit within the
Office of Military Support (OMS) for the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS). MAs assigned to STAAT
conduct port, physical security, installation, hotel, courtroom, liberty venue, humanitarian assistance site, and
airfield vulnerability assessments. They also provide Military Sea Lift Command (MSC) Individual Ship
Assessments, Commander Naval Installations Command Mobile Training Teams (CNIC-MTT), Military Working
Dog Program assessments, TACAMO assessments, Inter-Operability Program Training and provides Mobile

3. Promotion boards will be instructed to select the most fully qualified candidates. All Master-At-Arms (MA)
must focus on primary duties and qualify to rank and respective TYCOM requirements as quickly as possible.
Equally important is maintaining security clearance eligibility, weapons proficiency/ Annual Sustainment Training
(AST) and worldwide assignability to meet rating needs.
4. SELRES MA’s do not have a typical Sea-Shore Flow. SELRES Community, MAC/MACS/MACM must
demonstrate a wide diversity of duties and platforms to gain experience to enhance their abilities to leader at the next
higher pay grade.
a. MA Billet Selection. It is imperative our top enlisted personnel have experience in the majority of our
Security Force Specialties:
(1) SWFPAC, SWFLANT, TACAMO (VQ Det) assignments. These assignments should be
considered career enhancing due to the nature of assets protected and the qualifications required. These tours are
counted as a Sea Tour for rotational purposes.
(2) Isolated tours in Souda Bay Crete, Diego Garcia, Bahrain, Deveselu Romania, Poland,
Chinhae, South Korea, Military Groups/US Embassy detachments.
(3) Independent Duty Ship tours. (Ensure active involvement with the FCPOA/CPO Mess as
appropriate to paygrade and holding a major collateral duty in order to be competitive amongst peers and at the
selection boards).

(4) Type 4 forward deployed forces (overseas sea duty)
b. Duty Types. Types of duty offer the potential to attain NEC’s and warfare designations. MA’s should
take advantage of these opportunities to stay competitive for advancement:
(1) Installation Security. MAs provide security and law enforcement support for the Installation
Commanding Officer with the mission of protecting installation. MAs assigned to installations do not have the
opportunity to obtain a warfare qualification. NECs 0812, 0814, 2001, 2002, and 9501 are associated with
installation security tours.
(2) Harbor Patrol Unit (HPU). MAs assigned to the HPU operate small craft providing point and
area security for waterside assets and ports. Additionally, HPUs may conduct High Value Unit (HVU) escorts.
MAs assigned to HPUs do not have the opportunity to obtain a warfare qualification. Although not inclusive in all
units, MAs assigned to an HPU may be eligible to qualify for the Small Craft Insignia. NEC 0190, 2003, 2004 are
associated with HPU tours.
(3) Expeditionary Forces. MAs assigned to the Expeditionary Forces will be assigned to the
Coastal Riverine Force (CRF). The CRF absorbed the Maritime Expeditionary Security Force (MESF). CRF is
SEA duty. MAs assigned to the CRF may be performing duties in boat operations, Riverine Security Team
Operations, aircraft security (RAVEN), embarked security (EST), Joint Terminal Air Controller (JTAC), Visit,
Board, Search and Seizure (VBSS) and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) operations. All MAs
assigned to Expeditionary Units must obtain Expeditionary Warfare Specialist (EXWS) within 12 months of
assignment. NECs 0812, 0814, 9501 and 0190 are associated with Expeditionary tours. For the SELRES
Community, these type of reserve units are great opportunities and should be one platform for a
MAC/MACS/MACM.
(4) Strategic Systems Programs (SSP). MAs assigned to this duty type conduct security operation
for strategic assets at either Strategic Weapons Facility (SWF) Atlantic or Pacific. MAs assigned to a SWF are
regulated by the Personnel Reliability Program (PRP). MAs assigned to this duty type conduct security operations,
HPU, or Military Working Dog (MWD) duties. MAs assigned to SWF do not have the opportunity to obtain a
warfare qualification. MAs assigned to SWF are authorized to wear Enlisted Nuclear Weapons Security (NWS)
Breast Insignia after maintaining PRP certification for 12 months and after qualification in the highest watch station
commensurate with their pay grade. NECs 0812, 0814, 9501, 0190, 2010 are associated with SSP tours.
(5) TACAMO (VQ Squadrons). MAs assigned to this duty type conduct security operation for
strategic aircraft. MAs assigned to TACAMO are regulated by the PRP. VQ 3 with UIC 55154 and VQ 4 with UIC
42065 are considered sea duty for MAs. Other VQ detachments are considered shore duty. MAs assigned to VQ
may have the opportunity to qualify Enlisted Aviation Warfare Specialist (EAWS).
(6) Afloat Security. MAs in this duty type conduct in port and underway security and law
enforcement operations onboard LHA, LHD and CVNs. MAs may be used for security operations, ATFP,
investigations, brig operations and training for the Ship’s Self Defense Force. All MAs assigned to this duty type
have the opportunity to qualify as Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist (ESWS). All Sailors must qualify ESWS
within a predetermined timeframe established by the member’s command not to exceed 30 months from receipt at
the command. MAs assigned to this type of duty may also have the opportunity to qualify as EAWS. NECs 2001,
2002, 2008, and 9501 are associated with afloat security tours.
(7) Chief Master-at-Arms (CMAA). MACSs are normally assigned to LPDs. MA1s are normally
assigned to CGs and DDGs. These MAs manage the ATFP program, train and qualify the Ship’s Self-Defense
Force, conduct investigations and perform legal officer functions and assist the Commanding Officer in maintaining
good order and discipline. All MAs assigned to this duty type must qualify ESWS within a predetermined
timeframe established by the member’s command not to exceed 30 months from receipt at the command. NECs
2001 and 9501 are associated with Afloat Independent Duty CMAA tours.

(8) Military Working Dog (MWD). MWDs are assigned to Installation Security, DEVGRU, and
Strategic Weapons Facilities. MWD Handlers/ Kennel Masters may also be assigned to Naval Special Warfare
units. MAs may be assigned as MWD Handler, MWD Trainer, Kennel Master or perform Instructor duties. MWD
Teams routinely deploy in support of overseas contingency operations, Presidential/ Head of State missions and
other VIP/ special event missions. Duty type for MWD Handlers is commensurate with the unit to which they are
assigned. Duty rotation operates as a CONUS-OCONUS (or INUS/OUTUS) rotation. Since this is a closed loop
program, MWD Handlers do not have the opportunity for a warfare qualification. NEC 2005 or 2006 is required for
MWD tours. Warfare qualifications are available only at shipboard/sea-going commands (ESWS and EAWS) and
Type 2 or 4 designated NECC/ Naval Special Warfare (EXWS and EIWS) commands. For the SELRES community
unless you are coming off active duty, there is little to no opportunity in the MWD program.
(9) Protective Service Detail (PSD). MAs within a PSD are assigned to the Naval Criminal
Investigative Service (NCIS). MAs conducting PSD missions provide protection for designated High Risk
Personnel (HRP). These duties include site surveys, planning, and pedestrian/vehicle security. MAs assigned to
PSD missions do not have the opportunity for a warfare qualification. NEC 2009 is required for PSD tours. For the
SELRES community this is a special program the MAs are individually screened and selected for these types of
missions. SELRES MAs are encouraged to apply for mission critical billets when there is opportunity.
c. Other Tours. In addition to the main duty types, MAs conduct duties that support the NSF, the fleet and
other commands. These tours are diverse in nature and are considered SHORE DUTY.
(1) Instructor Duty. MAs are assigned to CENSECFOR and other training centers as instructors.
This duty is considered vital to the sustained health of the Naval Security Force (NSF). MAs assigned to Instructor
Duty have the opportunity to qualify as a Master Training Specialist.
(2) Staff Duty. MAs are assigned to various TYCOM, FLEET, COCOM and other staffs. These
MAs primarily conduct antiterrorism (AT) planning and assessments of subordinate units.
(3) Training and Assessment Teams. STAAT is a subordinate unit within the Naval Criminal
Investigative Service (NCIS). MAs assigned to STAAT conduct port, installation and airfield vulnerability
assessments to assist Fleet Commanders in anti-terrorism efforts. STAAT also provides Military Working Dog
Program assessments and provides Mobile Training Teams for installation security while assisting CNIC with
installation certification of security forces. Personnel assigned to STAAT do not have the opportunity for a warfare
qualification. MAs assigned to STAAT may be eligible for Master Training Specialist (MTS) and are required to
hold the 9501 NEC. CNIC Training and Assessment Teams conduct inspections and certifications on the Navy
Security Forces of Navy Installations.
(4) Independent Duty Master at Arms (IDMAA). MACSs and MACs may be assigned as IDMAA
to Transient Personnel Units, Nuclear School house billets, NAVIDFOR facilities or imbedded in certain deployable
units such a Special Warfare or Seabee Battalions. In these billets, the IDMAA will have a variety of roles similar to
the CMAA on ships. NECs 2002, 9501, and 90CS are associated with IDMAA tours.
5. Additional certifications available to MAs:
a) Small Arms Instructor NEC 0812 (SELRES)
b) Crew Served Weapons Instructor NEC 0814 (SELRES)
c) Chief Master-at-Arms NEC 2001
d) Command Investigator NEC 2002 (SELRES)

responsible for the tactical operation and training conducted within the HPU. NEC 2004 HSB TRASUP is
responsible for the planning, oversight, accessing and training of Force Protection Boat Coxswains at HPUs.
6. If attached to a NECC command, member should obtain a Warfare Qualification if time permits.
7. MA’s should try to obtain NEC’s when attached to NECC Units, Commissioned Unit and NSF Installations.
However, most RC MA’s may never have the opportunity to pursue a NEC throughout their career due to belonging
to small NOSC units.
8. All or a vast majority of RC MA’s should obtain at a minimum their Sentry PQS, Urinalysis Program
Coordinator (UPC) Certification and complete the MA Correspondence Course through NETC. Members of NSF
Units who obtain NEC’s as CMAA, CFL’s, CCC’s and SAMI should be looked favorably upon for advancement.
9. In addition to the above career path, a MA is advanced due to their proven leadership, performance, and
qualifications.
10. SELRES MA working as civilian law enforcement/corrections officers experience may be taken into account
based on skillsets and civilian rank equivalent to the MA’s career path matrix.

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 in 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 in to (https://awards.navy.mil/) to review any awards you may qualify for but were
unaware of. Note that this website is only available from a CAC enabled, NMCI machine.
e. Physical Readiness Information Management System (PRIMS): To log in to PRIMS, first log in to BUPERS
Online at https://www.bol.navy.mil. Then look half way down the page for the PRIMS login at
https://www.bol.navy.mil/bam/.
f. EOSH: The Federal Agency Employee Occupational Safety and Health (EOSH) Toolkit is available at
https://www.osha.gov/dep/fap/eosh_toolkit.html. It provides a one-stop-shop website that includes "just in time"
information about maintaining a safe and healthful workplace.
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 emailed encrypted to the address provided in the associated NAVADMIN or
postmarked not later than the date listed in the associated NAVADMIN addressed to:
NAVY PERSONNEL COMMAND CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER

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 https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/boards/activedutyenlisted/Pages/GeneralInformation.aspx 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)
MA-Master-At-Arms-E7
Page22of44
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. Check Navy COOL (https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn) for any related credentials
for which you may be qualified.
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 https://www.navy.mil/ah_online/cno-

VOLUNTARY EDUCATION
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 Master-At-Arms 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, or 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):
NAVADMIN 114/19 limit changes as of 1 October 2019: 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. TA will pay for the following amount per career: 120 semester hours, or 180-quarter hours or 1800 clock hours or
a combination of semester, quarter and clock hours. TA will pay the following amounts per fiscal year: 12 semester hours, not to
exceed $250/credit for semester hours or 18-quarter hours not-to-exceed $166.67/credit for quarter hours or, 180 clock hours
not-to-exceed $16.67/clock hours or a combination of semester, quarter and clock hours.
More information is available online at: https://www.navycollege.navy.mil
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.
