Sailors required to "ask" persmission to Stay Navy!
Every Sailor with under 14 years in the USN is now required to ask the USN if they will be able to reenlist in the USN. Not everyone will be granted permission to Stay Navy. Sailors need to start planning now if they want to reenlist, even if it is 1,2,3 or more years down the road. What a Sailor does now can and will effect their chance of reenlisting.
For any Sailor thinking this doesn't effect them, they are greatly mistaken and may not be able to reenlist if they don't get all the information to make an informed choice.
Navy Expands PTS for Sailors E-6 and Below With 14 Years or Less
Release Date: 05/28/2009
By Navy Personnel Command Public Affairs
MILLINGTON, Tenn. -- The Chief of Naval Personnel announced plans to expand the Navy's Perform to Serve (PTS) program to include all Sailors, E-6 and below, with 14 years or less of service, beginning June 1 as described in NAVADMIN 161/09.
PTS is a centralized reservation system that helps the Navy manage reenlistments of Sailors with less than 10 years of service, or Zones A and B. The expansion of the PTS program allows the Navy greater flexibility to control the number of Sailors in specific ratings and provides better advancement opportunities for Sailors, while helping the Navy manage manpower requirements.
"The Perform to Serve program is an essential tool that allows us to provide stable and predictable manning to the fleet. It will allow us to keep a balanced force based on experience, skill sets, and seniority matched to requirements," said Vice Adm. Mark Ferguson, chief of naval personnel.
The NAVADMIN expands PTS to include Zone C Sailors with 10 to 14 years of service. Therefore, all E-6 and below Zone C Sailors with an End of Active Obligated Service (EAOS) date on or after Feb. 1, 2010 must submit a PTS application regardless of their reenlistment intentions. However, Zone C Sailors selected for or already advanced to chief petty officer are exempt.
In addition to members of the chief petty officer community, exemptions include Sailors currently under Permanent Change of Station orders, Sailors with an approved conversion package and Sailors with an approved Selected Reenlistment Bonus precertification.
According to statistics from the Center for Career Development, in 2008 almost 90 percent of Sailors who applied for PTS remained in their current rating. Quality Sailors who hold ratings in overmanned fields may be offered reenlistment in an undermanned rating. However, Sailors with a poor performance history may not be granted permission to reenlist.
"Our future is in our E-4, E-5, and E-6 petty officers who should see advancement opportunities in their future in an organization that rewards the best performance," said Ferguson.
Sailors should consult their career counselors about 15 months prior to their EAOS to complete the required paperwork and request their command submit a PTS application, regardless of their intentions to re-enlist.

You are both welcome. I talked to our restricted people yesterday about this (PTS.) People need to understand now that what they do will affect if they can stay in the USN or not! I fall under this and will be applying for persmission to stay USN this next week.

Best of luck to you - what types of things would stop you from being able to reenlist? - Aaron talks about doing 20 - he's always said this. He is just finishing his first year and is only and E-3. I know he wants to change his rate. He took his current one because he really wanted to go and was tired of waiting around (he's a yeoman).
Any suggestions of other info would be so appreciated.

unfortunately, the young ones think they are going to do their first enlistment and get out. Most plan that from the beginning. Then when the end of their enlistment is starting to get closer they realize they like what they are doing and want to stay. So the first 2 to 3 years they don't do what they need to do. I hope that you got through to those you spoke to Angie.

Let me see if I got this straight.....
This is just an expansion of the existing program to those Sailors with 10 to 14 years of service (Zone C). Any Petty Officer who had made it to ten years and then thought that s/he could coast the next ten years to retirement just got a rude awakening. The dead wood at the top is going to get pruned so that there is room for the high achievers (all of our Sailors, wink, wink) to advance. Nothing wrong with that.

That is correct! Every PO1 and below who has less than 14 years in the USN must do this program.
