Notas do Editor

  1. Perform to Serve (PTS) is an end strength force management tool that utilizes a performance criteria within individual ratings and year groups to ensure long term sustainment of experience throughout our Navy. (Reference NAVADMIN 128/10) Your performance determines Fleet RIDE/PTS results. Fleet RIDE/PTS incorporates individual Sailor performance indicators during the PTS selection process. Then it creates a ranking of all PTS applications based on these factors and determines whether or not you are eligible for an available enlistment quota. The number of available quotas is different for every rate and rating, and changes every month based on needs of the Navy. Your performance directly impacts Fleet RIDE/PTS determination. Use the TIMELINE and the CHECKLIST provided below to prepare for the Fleet RIDE/PTS selection process. Start now to make yourself the best possible candidate for retention!
  2. 12-6 months prior to SEAOS/ PRD Fleet RIDE/Perform to Serve (PTS) The Fleet RIDE/PTS algorithm* ranks Sailors using the following performance indicators, in order of priority. You have direct control over many of these indicators.
  3. *algorithm [al-guh-rith-uhm] A set of instructions performed in a prescribed sequence to achieve a goal. A mathematical rule or procedure used to compute a desired result. Algorithms are the basis for most computer programming. —The American Heritage® Science Dictionary Highest Pay Grade – Senior pay grades will rank highest in the system. Selected-Not Yet Advanced – Frocked Sailors rank higher than those not yet picked for advancement. Average Ranking of Five Most Recent Evaluations – Early Promote, Must Promote, and Promotable have numeric values of 5, 4, and 3, respectively. Critical Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) – Critical NECs rank higher than non-critical NECs. (For the purpose of Conversion, the algorithm will substitute Fleet RIDE scores for critical NECs.) Fleet RIDE/Rank Score – Largely based on a Sailor’s ASVAB score - provides an indicator of potential success in the rating requested. (Applies to a Conversion algorithm only.) Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) Results – Calculated based on the number of failures within the past four-year period. Only physically ready Sailors can reenlist. Proximity to Soft End of Obligated Service (SEAOS) – Sailors closer to their EAOS rank higher. This indicator is a tie-breaker between otherwise equally qualified Sailors.
  4. You are in your Fleet RIDE/PTS application window. You must qualify for PTS using Fleet RIDE. Discuss ALL conversion options with your CCC and Mentor. Understand your options for submitting a Fleet RIDE/PTS application: Reenlist INRATE – you request to reenlist in your current rating Apply for INRATE and willing to Convert – you request to reenlist in your current rating, but are willing to convert to a new rating Conversion ONLY – you request to reenlist in a new rating SELRES Option – you request to reenlist in the Selected Reserve Separation – you request to separate from the Navy at EAOS/SEAOS NOTE: You may submit a Fleet RIDE/PTS application for SELRES any time within your 15-3 month window.
  5. Communicate regularly with your Command Career Counselor. Verify your CCC updates your Fleet RIDE/PTS application every month. Review Fleet RIDE/PTS results every month. Your CCC has access to PTS and will help you determine your next step, based on one of the following results: APPROVED: You are approved for reenlistment INRATE or for Conversion to a new rating. DENIED: You are within 12-7 months of SEAOS, are denied a quota this month, but can continue to submit applications. DENIED-Final Active: You are within 6-0 months of SEAOS, are denied a quota, and can no longer submit an application for reenlistment as an Active Duty Sailor. You should consider submitting an application for Selected Reserve (SELRES).
  6. After the first two months, if you are not selected for INRATE approval, you are strongly encouraged to consider updating your Fleet RIDE/PTS application to “Apply for INRATE and willing to Convert” or “Conversion ONLY”. Request a CDB to review your conversion options. You are in your orders negotiation window. You must have Fleet RIDE/PTS approval PRIOR to submitting a Career Management System/Interactive Detailing (CMS/ID) job application. Final Fleet RIDE/PTS determination made. If you do not receive a Fleet RIDE PTS quota, consider submitting an application for Selected Reserve (SELRES). Attend the Navy Transition Assistance Program (TAP). If you do not receive a Fleet RIDE/PTS quota OR if you have no desire to remain on Active Duty, you may submit a Fleet RIDE/PTS application for Selected Reserve (SELRES).
  7. Eligible candidates are responsible for ensuring their records are correct and up-to-date with the latest evaluations, awards and other appropriate information. Candidates are encouraged to review BUPERSINST 1430.16F, Chapter 12 and MILPERSMAN 1070-080 concerning selection board record review, selection board package submission, and OMPF corrections. Eligible candidates should review their enlisted permanent personnel record via the “Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) My Record” option on BUPERS Online (BOL) or by ordering a CD ROM of their complete record. If there are documents that candidates would like the board to review that are not viewable via “OMPF My Record,” they must submit those documents, along with a cover letter to the Continuation Board President, to be reviewed by this board. Any documents the member has verified as missing from their OMPF may be submitted as a “letter to the board.” Additional guidance is contained in NAVADMIN 375/12.
  8. “Commands shall ENSURE Fleet RIDE/PTS applications are submitted for all designated E3-E6 Sailors with less than or equal to 14 years of obligated service as early as 15 months prior to, but no later than 12 months prior to their end of active obligated service (EAOS) as extended, also known as Soft EAOS (SEAOS). During this mandatory submission period, applications must be submitted even if the Sailor’s intention is to separate, or if the Sailor is ineligible or not recommended for reenlistment at the time of application.” As your Fleet RIDE/PTS window approaches, work closely with your chain of command and Command Career Counselor to ensure that you are the best possible candidate for reenlistment approval. Remember: Preparation starts the day you report to the command! Fleet RIDE/PTS policy, information, and training materials are located on the Navy Personnel Command website. Click ClickCareer Info > Counseling Counseling > Fleet RIDE-PTS For help and assistance, contact the NPC Customer Service Center: 1-866-827-5672 (DSN 882-5672), or send email to CSCMailbox@navy.mil.

Advancement Date Date on which a Sailor receives a pay increase due to advancement to a higher rate. ASVAB (Armed Service Vocational Aptitude Battery) Aptitude test administered prior to enlistment.
