MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) --
Representatives from Navy Personnel Command's fleet engagement team will be in
Pensacola, Fla., Aug. 28-30 to meet with Sailors and discuss the latest
personnel policies and initiatives impacting the fleet.
The team will discuss recently announced
initiatives like Limited Directed Detailing, Chief Petty Officer (CPO) Early
Return to Sea, as well as Voluntary Sea Duty Program, all designed to ensure
high-priority billets at sea are manned.
"The visit is intended to ensure
command leadership teams understand current manpower programs as well as
promote the professional and personal development of our Sailors," said
Capt. Steve Holmes, Bureau of Naval Personnel, director, community management
branch. "These visits are also an excellent opportunity to get feedback
directly from the fleet."
Additional briefs will focus on Navy
force management initiatives including Fleet Ride Perform-to-Serve (FR-PTS),
enlisted and officer community health and recent changes to Career Management
System Interactive Detailing (CMS/ID) the web-based program enlisted Sailors
use to review and apply for permanent change of station (PCS) orders.
The changes to CMS/ID are part of the
Navy's coordinated effort to aggressively address gaps at sea and place Sailors
with the right experience levels and skill sets into high-priority Fleet
billets. Detailers will fill all advertised billets each cycle so it is
important that Sailors understand how this may impact them.
The team will conduct briefs at Corry
Station, Aug. 28; Naval Air Station Pensacola (NAS), Aug. 29 and 30. Sailors
should contact their command career counselor for times and locations. Spouses
are also encouraged to attend. The team will present a Command Ombudsman/Spouse
Career Information brief Aug. 29 on board NAS.
"The briefs are designed to provide
information needed to make informed career decision. They target leadership,
Sailors and spouses to give each the information needed in the current
operating environment," said Holmes.

Personnel Command Customer Service Center at 1-866-U-ASK-NPC (827-5672) or via
