The U.S. Navy recently updated the Professional Apprenticeship Career Track (PACT) program policy in Military Personnel Manual (MILPERSMAN) 1306-611. Effective 1 June 2018, PACT Sailors will be designated based on their selection of a prioritized job in a rating for which they are qualified. Enlisted Community Managers (ECM) will begin to designate PACT Sailors. Twelve months prior to a PACT Sailor's projected rotation date (PRD), they may begin the designation and assignment negotiation process. Once designated, eligible PACT Sailors may be eligible for Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB). For more information, contact your command career counselor.
