SELECTIVE CONVERSION AND REENLISTMENT (SCORE) PROGRAM (MILPERSMAN
1160-090)
SCORE Overview:
- The Selective Conversion and Reenlistment (SCORE) program offers
special career incentives to enlisted members who reenlist for conversion
to ratings that are undermanned (in Career Reenlistment Objectives
(CREO) 1) as listed in the most current CREO NAVADMIN.
The program is reserved for personnel who exhibit sustained superior
performance. The program objective is conversion to undermanned ratings

within the same or better-manned CREO categories will not normally
be authorized.
