You remain attached to Prototype, or are transferred to Groton in preparation for SOAC. NOTE: If the Sabbatical is completed while attached to a UIC other than Prototype, SEIP is not authorized - d - 2-2-2- Option - (1) - JO's may apply for the 2-2-2 (Split Tour) Option. After being assigned to an operational ship for 24 months, these JOs complete 24 months at Prototype or a PCU, followed by up to a 24 month shore tour with a pick off the slate. - (2) - JO's must be warfare and Engineer qualified, with 24 months on board, and the command must agree to release the JO at 24 months. - (3) - Contact PERS-421C if interested. - e- NPTU orders will be written for 24 months. If a SE is on contract, they will submit a PRD extension request along with their degree / JPME plan in order to activate their sabbatical. - f - Sabbatical and follow-on tour lengths are dependent on O-4 timing. Discuss timing with PERS-421C during the slating process. 2. High Vis Opportunities - a - There are 2 separate methods for High Vis opportunities. There are those listed at the top of the slate with slate numbers starting at 200, and those listed on the High Vis Tracker on Facebook. Those jobs on the slate will be played with the slate, but may require JOs to provide extra materials. - b - Flag Aide nominations, and a few other High Vis positions, are a separate process from the normal JO Slate. If you are interested in being a Flag Aide, contact PERS-421C, and check the High Vis Tracker which is updated weekly on the PERS 42 Facebook page. High-Vis nominations are often done months in advance, take a look at the tracker and submit your materials early. - c - Materials are typically an updated O-2/O-3 photo, an official bio, your contact information, and a Letter of Recommendation on command letterhead. - d - If you desire to be nominated for a High Vis job, you cannot play the slate while awaiting the results of the nomination. If the nomination decision is made prior to your slate, you may play the slate. If the slate is solved before the nomination decision is made, you will either be moved to the next slate, nominated for another High Vis job, or may be offered another job between slates, if one becomes available (typically due to resignations, PRD shifts, early transfers to SOAC, or medical issues). 3. Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) - a - If you are interested in NPS, apply online early (www.nps.edu). By applying, you will get your Academic Profile Code (APC). This is used to billet you into a curriculum. Applying to NPS does not commit you to a tour at NPS, but will help expedite your orders, if selected. - b - If you are an ED option, please inform PERS-421C to discuss program specifics. - c - NPS incurs additional service which requires a DH Contract.
4. NROTC - a - Submit your transcripts to PERS-421C. Coordination with the university to be accepted as an instructor occurs through PERS. Most universities require an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. Email and mail/fax your transcripts to PERS-421C (jeanne.vangilder@navy.mil). Email is preferred Navy Personnel Command (PERS 42) Attn: PERS 421C 5720 Integrity Drive Millington, TN 38055 - b - After the slate results are released, JOs slated to NROTC billets will be required to complete and interview with a Commodore or Flag Officer. Do not conduct this interview prior to the slate closing. 5. USNA - a - Billets at the USNA are typically only offered through the GE+T and LEAD program. GE+T and LEAD applications are due early October, and must rotate in 2Q. See the NAVADMIN for further details. - b - GE+T and LEAD incur additional service (require a DH Contract) - c - From time to time, additional USNA billets may be offered on the High Vis (200 section) of the JO Slate. These positions do not require a DH contract, though may be given preferentially to JOs on contract. 6. Overseas and Joint Assignments - a - Overseas and Joint Assignments are 36 month tours. - b - In most cases, Junior Officers will be pulled at 24 months to meet career milestones and attend SOAC. - c - If a JO does not wish to continue to DH, they will be required to serve 36 months on station prior to transferring or separating. 7. Non-Traditional Shore Tours (NTSD) - a - There are several different types of NTSDs - (1) - Sea Duty: Destroyer Squadron (DESRON), Amphibious Squadron (PHIBRON), Carrier Strike Group (CCSG), or Expeditionary Strike Group (ESG) Staffs - (2) - Unaccompanied Overseas Tours: Bahrain - (3) - Pre-Commissioning Unit (PCU) - (4) - MTS Conversions (when specified) - b - Upon completion of an NTSD, the individual will be able to pick off the follow-on slate. If multiple NTSD Players choose the same billet, either PERS-421C will select the best individual for the billet (using performance from FITREPs, awards, Letters of Recommendation, and status of DH Contract), or allow the NTSD Players to decide between themselves. - c - The individual may also elect to forgo a follow on shore tour and proceed directly to SOAC or resign. - d - Follow On shore tours are normally 18 months in length, however length is dependent on the 7.5 year SOAC gate. Contact PERS-421C to verify your timing. 8. Additional Service Requirement - a - Some jobs on the slate incur additional obligated service following the completion of your shore tour assignment. Navy-funded graduate education programs and SECNAV Tours With Industry are two examples which incur additional service and require a DH Contract. Contact PERS-421C if you have specific questions.
Categories of JO Shore Tours There are many types of shore tours; here is a basic breakdown of the types of jobs. This breakdown does not completely describe all types of shore tours and some jobs may fall into multiple categories. 1. "Good for your career" - a - High Visibility Jobs. Working on an admiral's staff allows you excellent networking opportunities and puts a big name in your corner. - b - Manpower. Working in PERS 42 (nuclear officer detailing), N133 (submarine community managers), or other position in the Naval Personnel Command gives you invaluable knowledge of how the Navy works, including career milestone tracking, community pipelines, promotion and selection boards, and fitrep writing. - c - O-3 Dominated Commands. Going to a command with a large number of O-3s (SOBC/SOAC, NPTU, NNPTC) gives you the opportunity to breakout among a large number of JOs. #1 of 25 is significantly more meaningful to a selection board than #1 of 4. #5 of 25 is still more significant than #1 of 5. - d - Vital Nuclear Billets. Selection boards understand the importance of NPTU or PCU duty. These jobs also provide incentives which help you earn a degree, such as a sabbatical or a follow-on duty. - e - SOBC/SOAC Instructor. Teaching tactics day in and day out is the best way to become a tactical expert. 2. "Cool jobs" - a - NTSDs. Working on a PHIBRON or DESRON gives you a great opportunity to see other things in the Navy (and make a lot of port calls). - b - DC jobs. Most of the jobs in Washington, D.C. provide JOs opportunities to see high level projects and learn about the cutting edge of the Navy. - c - Watchfloor. Watchfloor jobs show JOs the forefront of the Navy's mission and give them valuable theatre experience. - d - Overseas jobs. Who wouldn t want the opportunity to live in another country? - e - Naval Recruiting Command. Most JOs at NRC travel once a month (or every 2 months) to college towns to attend career fairs and give presentations on the Nuclear Navy. 3. "Low Stress / Unwinding Tours" - a - NPS. While NPS is prestigious, and the course of instruction may be difficult, you are afforded 2 years to earn a master's degree without having other responsibilities. - b - NROTC/USNA. Teaching and mentoring midshipmen is extremely rewarding and provides you an opportunity to earn a master's degree in a low-stress environment.
PERS-42 Talent Management Guidelines Process: Each quarter during the normal slating process, JOs who are interested in the Talent Management Programs are encouraged to apply to PERS-421C by submitting an email. During the week the slate closes, prior to the slate closing, PERS-42 will hold the Quarterly Talent Management Board. JOs will be notified of the results along with the slate results. If JOs are not selected for Talent Management billets, they will be detailed normally. Some of the Talent Management billets require additional application materials. 1. SECNAV Tours With Industry (SNTWI) Approximately 12 months working at Fortune 500 Company followed by a ~12 month shore duty to utilize the skills and best practices from the Company.

Olmsted Foundation The Olmsted Scholar Program provides two years of graduate study using a foreign language while providing overseas cultural and travel opportunities and often leads to a graduate degree at a foreign university. Applicants should be available to commence language training in Summer/Fall, begin study at a foreign university the follow year, and complete study 2 years later. A Navy selection board will convene in November prior to commencing language training to select up to 12 nominees from which the Olmsted Foundation Board of Directors will consider and select Navy scholars in March prior to commencing language training.
