Navy Tightens Recommendations Standards for E-5 Sailors

Week of September 06, 2010

In an effort to more clearly define top-performing Sailors, the Navy is revising the E-5 periodic evaluations beginning March 15, 2011, with a mandatory "ranking" requirement. The total number of "early promote" and "must promote" recommendations cannot exceed 60 percent. As the Navy continues centering its attention on performance, it is more important than ever for Sailors to ensure their records are up-to-date and accurate. The Electronic Service Record can be viewed at https://nspics.nmci.navy.mil and Official Military Personnel Files are available on BUPERS Online.
