By: FEDweek StaffAmong numerous actions the Navy is taking to train its ranks, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Michael M. Gilday cited the MyNavy Assignment (MNA) program as a key element of placing sailors in jobs they want. Speaking before the House Armed Services Committee during a hearing late last month, Gilday described how MNA serves as an upgrade to the Navy’s detailing platform.
“It … rewards sailors in sea-intensive ratings who stay on sea duty by offering assignment-based monetary incentives and early advancement opportunities for many sailors who possess the requisite proficiency and experience,” Gilday told the panel.
The CNO also described the Advancement-to-Position (A2P) program, which accelerates advancement for sailors who demonstrate the highest levels of competence and strongest service records.
“A2P assists in filling critical gaps and rewards proven performers willing to take a difficult assignment with a spot promotion,” Gilday told lawmakers. “We have also empowered commanding officers and officers-in-charge to reward top performers with both an advancement and geographic stability allowed by a guaranteed follow-on three-year assignment at the same unit. These talent management initiatives support sailor development, increase transparency, and generate fleet-wide war-fighting readiness.”
