Three Full-Time Support Ratings Eliminated

The Navy has eliminated Full-Time Support Hull Technician (HT), Machinery Repairman (MR), and Interior Communications) ratings, due to very limited duty assignments and advancement opportunity. Sailors affected by the change can also stay on active duty by converting to other Full-Time Support ratings that offer a wider array of assignment possibilities and a greater chance for advancement. For more information, contact a Navy counselor, command career counselor, call the Navy Personnel Command Customer Service Center at (866) 827-5672, or email cscmailbox@navy.mil. Details are also detailed in NAVADMIN 083/11, viewable on the Navy Personnel Command Web site at www.npc.navy.mil.
