CAREER ROADMAP
Seaman Recruit to Master Chief Roadmap
The educational roadmap below will assist Sailors in the Operations Specialist 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 Operations Specialist?
Operations Specialist 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 Operations Specialist 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, OS School at Great Lakes, 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.

SELECTION BOARD CHECKLIST FOR SCPO PROMOTION TO MCPO
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
PRESIDENT
FY-XX ACTIVE/RESERVE E9 ENLISTED SELECTION BOARD #XXX
5640 TICONDEROGA LOOP BLDG 768 RM E302
MILLINGTON TN 38055
(Active = 210 / 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)
OS-OperationsSpecialist-E8
Page16of37
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 High
Velocity 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/CNO-Reading-

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 Operations Specialist 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.
