6.  The Detailer represents You  The Placement Officer represents the Commands  ORDERS  Orders are not simply cut by the detailer o Placement officers and gaining Commands get a cut o Some organizations such as NR, SSP, and Special Projects get a cut o I-STOPs and Training may be required o Record flags such as EFM, PFA, discipline, medical may impact timing  OCONUS/CONUS move o Orders will be written about 6 months prior to transfer LDO/CWO Community Detailing vs. Placement 4 Continuing Resolution = FY14 PCS funds are tightly controlled

7. LDO/CWO Community Detailing Triad 5 Personal desires of the individual Career/Professional needs of the individual Needs of the Navy All three legs of the triad are discussed to produce orders. Balance is always the goal. Needs of the Navy will prevail.

8.  We support the Undersea Warfare Enterprise (USE) They outline the jobs that require our unique talents  We fill the tough assignments!  Aircraft Carriers, Submarines, Submarine Tenders, Special Projects and numerous diverse shore tours  We are World Wide Assignable!  Limited job availability in many locations  Our billets must be filled with the right designator and the right pay grade! LDO/CWO Community Needs of the Navy 6

9.  The Detailer is your career planner  Our number one goal is to get you promoted  You will be offered diverse billets to keep you competitive. This typically means taking orders at several different duty stations in varying geographic locations. To be competitive, take the hard jobs and perform! There is No substitute for Sea Duty.  Senior leadership is consulted from the appropriate designator and board results are tracked  We utilize a ‘complete’ detailing picture Follow the outlined career progression plan to remain competitive for promotions. For all but NUCs: http://www.public.navy.mil/BUPERS- NPC/OFFICER/COMMUNITYMANAGERS/LDO_CWO/Pages/GUIDEBOOK.aspx For NUCs, your career progression plan is found in this brief. 9 LDO/CWO Community Career/Professional Needs

10.  Special family circumstances (EFM, etc) Update EFM member status every 3 years - PERS-451X will not release orders if not completed  Priorities: Career more important? Location or Family decision? Extensions required for high school kids? Do you own a house? Upside down on mortgage? Have a plan if you own a home when you transfer  Be honest  Be careful what you ask for. There could be risk associated with the choice you make and we will discuss that when you call. LDO/CWO Community Individual Desires 10 Communicate with your detailer – decisions made on case basis

11.  Flow Point: Average years of service when an officer is promoted (paid) to the next grade  Selection Rate: Percentage of all officers selected for promotion Denominator is the # selected divided into the # in-zone Includes officers selected from above, in, and below the zone Max below zone - 10% (legal limit) (very unlikely for LDOs) No above zone limits (by law or policy)  As long as you’re on the Active Duty List you will be considered LDO/CWO Community Promotion Fundamentals 11

12.  Promotion Opportunity is a function of strength, by grade, based on: Requirements  Defined by Officer Programmed Authorizations (OPA) Vacancies  Promotions, Retirements, Resignations, Lateral Transfers Legal Limit  Title 10 USC - Limits number of CAPTs, CDRs, and LCDRs  Best and Fully Qualified Standard  “Up or Out” Principle LDO/CWO Community Promotion Fundamentals 12
