CAREER ROADMAP
Airman Recruit to Master Chief Roadmap

The educational roadmap below will assist Sailors in the Air Traffic Control 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 Air Traffic Control?

Air Traffic Control roadmaps are just what the name implies - a roadmap through the Enlisted Learning and Development
Continuum from Airman 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 Air Traffic Control 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, Air Traffic Control School at NATTC Pensacola, Florida, 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 E6 PROMOTION TO CPO
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

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:

order your CD-ROM to confirm changes. (NOTE: Please allow 60 days for changes to take effect)
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.osd.mil/usn/) for any related credentials
for which you may be qualified.

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.
Step 5 - Prepare for the next CPO Advancement Exam cycle in January for Active Duty & February for Reserves as
soon as the Bibliography References are posted six months prior in July. Use the Navy Advancement Center info and

Canvasser Recruiter (CANREC)

The Canvasser Recruiter (CANREC) Recall Program is a voluntary and temporary recall program for RC personnel to serve as
production recruiters in support of the Navy Prior Service recruiting mission. Personnel eligible to volunteer for a Definite (also
termed as “temporary”) Recall to Active Duty (ACDU) as a CANREC are Reserve Component (RC) members, specifically
Selected Reserve (SELRES), Individual Ready Reserve (IRR-ASP), and Voluntary Training Unit (VTU) personnel.
For additional information, go to:
https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/career/reservepersonnelmgmt/definiterecall/Pages/CANRECRecall.aspx.
Career Waypoints-Reenlistment:
The Command Career Counselor is your local advocate to assist you with the Career Waypoints application process.
E3-E6 Sailors with less than 14 years of service must submit a Career Waypoints application, regardless of reenlistment
intentions. Sailors who do not desire to reenlist will submit an "intends to separate" application. Sailors not eligible for
reenlistment will submit a "not eligible" application.
The Career Waypoints system automatically generates most of the applications needed by Sailors. Applications must be
submitted no later than 16 months prior to expiration of active/reserve obligated service (EAOS/EOS) or as extended
(SEAOS/SEOS). Sailors with less than 24 months of contract time remaining at their projected rotation date (PRD) will
submit an application 15 months prior to their PRD. In either case, the Career Waypoints system will automatically generate
applications for Sailors 18 months prior to either timeframe. Applications required outside of the established C-Way gates
can be submitted as Special Circumstance applications. Examples of when these may be needed include OBLISERVE for
special duty, decommissioning or homeport shift.
The C-Way 3-2-1 Process aligns career decisions with the detailing process. Soft End of Active/Reserve Obligated Service
(SEAOS/SEOS)/End of Active/Reserve Obligated Service (EAOS/EOS) applications are created by C-Way at the 18 month
from S/EAOS/EOS mark and must be submitted by the Command Career Counselor at the 16 month mark. This provides
time for the Career Counselor to validate the Sailor's information and to ascertain the Sailors career intentions. The first C-
Way review gate occurs from 16 to 13 months from S/EAOS/EOS with career choice options of in-rate, conversion, and
Selected Reserve. The second review gate occurs from 12 to 9 months from S/EAOS/EOS with career choice options of
conversion and Selected Reserve. From 8 months to 4 months to S/EAOS/EOS the Sailor can only choose Selected
Reserve affiliation.
Monthly reenlistment quotas are limited and must be reserved for our best and brightest Sailors who desire to Stay Navy.
Sailors must choose one of the following based on their desires and qualifications:
Reenlist-in-Rate,
Reenlist-in-rate, Willing to Convert
Convert only
AC to AC or TAR to TAR
RC to AC/TAR
RC to RC
AC/TAR to CIP (Intermission)
AC/TAR to Tour w/ Industry
SELRES option
Canvasser Recruiter
Intend to separate
Not eligible
In February 2014, C-Way delivered auto-approval capabilities to provide reenlistment decisions on S/EAOS/EOS applications
more quickly for eligible ratings. This changed the monthly processing of reenlistment applications as described below.
If you are in an, "open" rating or a "balanced" rating in an undermanned year group or an E6, you are eligible for
reenlistment, and your application is submitted with correct data it will be auto-approved and returned immediately, and you
can reenlist.
If you are in a "competitive" rating or a balanced rating but not an undermanned year group, then your application will be
processed through the monthly Rack and Stack process. Applications submitted in one month are processed in Rack and
Stack the following month.
For Nuclear ratings, all applications are reviewed by enlisted community managers on an ongoing basis throughout the
processing month.
If required data is missing (evaluations, Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) data, security clearance etc.) the application
will be denied with a note to your career counselor regarding what needs to be fixed. It is critical the Command Career
Counselor reviews these notes to ensure Sailors are not disadvantaged in their opportunities for retention.
Upon completion of the monthly process, Career Waypoints results will be available to command users via the Monthly
report section of the Career Waypoint system.
For additional guidance, see MILPERSMAN 1160-140, NAVADMIN 231/17, and your Career Counselor
Or call My Navy Call Center: (833) 330-MNCC or (901) 874-MNCC; or [email protected]

Nearly 200 years ago, the Navy ordered its ships be outfitted with a reading list of 37 books in order to help train and educate
Sailors. The Navy’s leaders knew then what is still the case today: to outthink our competitors we must study and apply lessons
we’ve learned from our past. Furthermore, it is critically important for our Navy to be a learning organization. And one of the very
best ways to do that is to foster an environment where every Sailor deepens their level of understanding and learning.
That is why we launched an updated Chief of Naval Operations Professional Reading Program (CNO-PRP) reading list, with a
motto of “Read Well to Lead Well.”

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 Air Traffic Control 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.
