USE YOUR TA TO GARNER EDUCATION POINTS
Are you working towards advanced education goals? An Associate's degree is worth two Final Multiple Score points and a Bachelor's degree is four points. Those points can make a big difference in your advancement opportunity. All Sailors taking courses to earn a degree should be aware of the Tuition Assistance deadline changes for 2017.
HOW IS THE RANK ORDER DETERMINED?
The record of each E4-E6 advancement candidate in the Navy Enlisted Advancement System (NEAS) is derived from many sources, to include the Enlisted Master File, the exam answer sheet, and data from Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS). That data feeds individual elements of the Final Multiple Score (FMS) so each candidate is given a total number of points. Then, NEAS calculates FMSs and rank orders candidates in each competitive grouping. The rank order changes daily as candidate record discrepancies are processed, backdated awards are submitted, busts are processed, and Board for Corrections of Naval Records are submitted. Even though the rank order changes, the minimum FMS cut lines do not change.
SETTING FMS CUTS
Candidates in each competitive grouping are rank ordered by their Final Multiple Score (FMS). The Navy Enlisted Advancement System (NEAS) maintains each grouping's rank order from the time 90% of the answer sheets are processed, through the limiting date after the last pay increment is processed. When the Chief of Naval Personnel sets quotas - quotas are the number of candidates to advance in each competitive group - those quotas are applied to the current ...rank-order lists in NEAS. For example, the quota for First Class B400s (Boatswain's Mate) was 50, and there were 667 Active Duty E5 candidates competing in this competitive group. To set the FMS cut, NEAS goes through the rank order and pulls the FMS of the candidate who was ranked number 50 out of 667. Individual FMS cut information is provided on each candidate's profile sheet.
