FY18 NEC Construct
Timeline for new construct implementation:
New NEC establishments are being codified under the new construct, effective immediately (IAW NEOCS ETP Memo).
01 Oct 17: Initial batch of 254 NECs to the new construct implemented across 38 IT systems.
01 Mar 18: Second batch of 396 NECs recoded.
01 Jul 18: Remaining NECs (~250) were recoded.
Phasing plan was adjusted based on programmer availability and lessons learned from initial conversion batch.
Additional Coordination
NEC crosswalk table has been continuously updated as NEC batches are finalized.
Continue coordination with PERS-4, PERS-8, N130, PMO, NETC, USFF/PACFLT, and others to minimize mission impact of NEC recoding.
Focus Areas:
SRBs/bonus pays linked to NECs
Updates to future SRB NAVADMINs
NEC Fit metrics (COGNOS reports)
Enlisted supply chain and detailing

1. Combine Crypto and Ling Career Fields and changed letter to “C.” This allowed us to include AG in IW Community per NAVIFOR request.
2. Changed NEC letter to “B” (for “Bees”) as part of SPECWAR / SPEC OPS changes
3. Combined Mech and Tech into Squadron Career Field. Moved AG to IW Community and created an Intermediate Level Maintenance Career Field to acknowledge the difference between the Organizational (Squadron) and Intermediate/CVN (I-Level/FRC and Deck) training pathways
4./5. Split SPECWAR and SPEC OPS into separate communities
6. Increased to 12 total Communities
7. Changed the Tech and Service Career Field NEC letters to “T” and “R”, respectively to free up “S” for Supply
8. Changed Supply Community NEC letter to “S”
9. Combined Admin and Admin Enablers into one Community labeled Executive Support with “A” as the NEC first letter

4. NEC Construct Synopsis
*Real Examples from FY18 NEC Crosswalk*
Goal of the new NEC Construct
In order to support the Block Learning requirement to be able to identify and track all modules Sailors have received as they progress through their career training continuum, the NEC structure must change to add meaning and transparency to the 4 NEC characters.
Existing NEC Construct
Revised NEC Construct 1 4 Z U
Submarine Communications LCPO
Submarine Tech Career Field(TXXX) T 3 2 A
Training not blocked, ends in a letter (XXXA—XXXZ) 9 5 8
Command Master Chief,
open to all career fields (8XXX) 8 C M C
Unique ID (alphanumeric)
Unique ID (alphanumeric)
Alphanumeric, indicating the Enlisted Career Field or that the NEC code is open to multiple career fields.
Alphanumeric, based on series developed out of habit but not codified by instruction.
If training is blocked: numeric that identifies the number of blocks remaining (0 = fully trained)
Example: If Training Continuum contains a Block 0, Block 1, and Block 2, there will be 3 NECs (XXX2, XXX1, XXX0)
Sailors will be given a new NEC as they complete each Block of training
BL Example 2 8 S
Logistics Specialist Postal Basic
Unique ID
Supply Career Field = S in new construct
As we implement RRL and Block Learning, we believe that this new NEC construct will be more logical, intuitive, and allow for better personnel management.

5. NEC Conversion Phasing Plan
BLUF: Phased rollout permits an opportunity for stakeholders to plan and minimize impacts to bonus pay, readiness metrics, and other factors before going “all in.”
FY18 Qtr 1: *Crosswalk table complete; conversions implemented 1 Oct 17*
254 NECs, from a cross section of career fields:
33 NECs from Executive Support career field (AXXX) – PS, LN, MC, and MU ratings*
3 NECs from Supply career field (SXXX), including S001/S000 LS block learning codes
138 NEC codes from Surface Tech career field (VXXX) – ET, FC, and FCA ratings ($)
3 NEC codes from Spec Ops career field (MXXX) – ND ($)
77 general NECs open to all career fields (8XXX), including CMC, COB, and CSC ($)
FY18 Qtr 2: *Crosswalk table complete; conversions implemented 1 Mar 18*
~400 NECs:
NECs from Seabee, Medical, Security, and Information Warfare communities ($)
Remainder of Surface NECs and non-nuclear Submarine NECs ($)
NECs open to multiple career fields (7XXX)
FY18 Qtr 3: *Crosswalk table complete; conversions implemented 1 Jul 18*
~300 NECs with longest expected coordination lead times:
SPECWAR career field (OXXX), remaining SPECOPS NECs (MXXX) ($)
Aviation career fields (I-level/O-level split requires coordination to correctly bin maintenance NECs) ($)
Nuclear career field (NXXX) – N133 is providing their own crosswalk input for NUC NECs ($)
($) = NECs may be associated with SRB, SDAP, or other bonus pay 5

6. Breakdown of New Construct NECs
Career field-specific NECs (~750 codes):
“Bread and butter” of new NEC construct
First digit is a letter associated with the career field
For block learning NECs only, last digit is numeric and signifies the number of blocks remaining in BL training sequence
Codify rating and career field-specific skill sets
Example: Diver First Class (M1DV) – open to Navy Diver (ND) rating only
Example: Logistics Specialist Postal Basic (S000) – block learning NEC for LS rating
Cross-career field NECs (~200 codes):
7XXX – Open to multiple source ratings across various career fields
Example: 25mm Machine Gun System MK38 MOD Tech – open to AO, GM, and FC ratings
8XXX – Open to all source ratings and career fields
Example: Command Fitness Leader (8CFL) – open to all source ratings
Example: Senior Enlisted Leader NECs (8CMC, 8COB, 8CSC) – open to all source ratings
Language NECs (~450 codes)
9XXX
Alphanumeric code is controlled by DLI/DMDC through DoD language trigraph
Do not require conversion, since they already begin with “9” and end in a letter
Example: Turkish (9TUR) – open to all source ratings 6

Crosswalk table currently has all NEC codes that have been or will be converted.
Submitted to EIM board with technical coordination service request on 21 July.
Sharing the table across MPTE business lines and with Fleet N1’s to allow advanced planning.
Has been updated as remaining batches were finalized.
NAVMAC has posted NEC code crosswalk table on NEOCS webpage, making the new NEC codes publicly available to help stakeholders plan. 9
