Reserve 8/9 Advancement Results

All,

As you know the recent NAVADMIN that listed the Reserve/FTS 8/9 advancement results had selection numbers that were missing in some of the ratings. After every selection board, Navy Personnel Command screens records for potentially adverse information that may not have been available to the selection board. In addition, in March 2009, the Chief of Naval Personnel announced in NAVADMIN 073/09 that Physical Readiness Information Management System (PRIMS) data would be reviewed as part of this process for both officer and enlisted boards.

Adverse/alleged adverse information or missing information was discovered in the case of 69 members selected by the FY-11 Navy Reserve Senior and Master Chief Petty Officer advancement selection board. This adverse or missing information may consist of incorrect PRIMS data or other potentially adverse information. As a result, some advancements may be delayed until the discrepancy is corrected while others may be delayed further in cases where the discrepancy cannot immediately be resolved. Talking Points:

• Navy policy requires Sailors to meet physical readiness standards in order to be advanced. In March 2009, the Chief of Naval Personnel announced in NAVADMIN 073/09 that, beginning with fiscal year 2010 boards, Physical Readiness Information Management System (PRIMS) data would be reviewed as part of the promotion and advancement process.
• Sailors are ultimately responsible for reviewing the information in their records, as well as additional information they provide to selection boards for consideration.
• Initially impacting officer promotions only, the Reserve Senior and Master Chief advancement selection board, which convened March 1, was the first enlisted selection board to undergo the PRIMS review.
• In the majority of cases, where adverse or missing information was noted, the FY-11 advancement date of selected individuals should not be impacted though frocking may be delayed until the administrative discrepancy is resolved.
• It is anticipated that most discrepancies discovered in the review can be resolved by updating PRIMS data or correcting an error on a member's fitness report. Once resolved, the member will be cleared for frocking.
• The names of all individuals selected for advancement whose records did not contain discrepancies were announced 12 April 2010 in NAVADMIN 130/10. Those Sailors who are eligible for advancement can review their results on Bupers On Line (BOL).
• Navy Personnel Command is in the process of notifying those Sailors with record discrepancies.
• NPC will publish an updated advancement list prior to the first advancement increment in July 2010.

Additionally below is an email from Fleet Benning in March that also highlighted the importance of ensuring your records are up-to-date and ready for review.
