MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) -- Deputy Chief of Naval Personnel Vice Adm. Kevin Moran addressed the Navy Personnel Command (NPC) workforce here Nov. 30, to outline Sea Warrior and the revolution in training.

Moran said the goal is to ensure the right person is in the right place, with the right skills, at the right time - all at the best value to the Navy.

“We need to make sure that we understand what the competencies, knowledge skills and abilities required for every position in the U.S. Navy are,” said Moran, who met with all of NPC during his stop.

He highlighted the Manpower, Personnel, Training and Education (MPT&E) Business Architecture of Sea Warrior and NPC’s role in the venture.

The focus was on products to be delivered to the fleet and to the Sailors, but he also touched on the contributions of federal civilians.

“Our business in the manpower and distribution piece is to make sure that databases are accurate, to deliver the best fit for that position,” said Moran, highlighting the top five products Sailors can expect to see.

The first, "My Course," offers tools for the Sailor to go online to improve their resume and compete for jobs using the five-vector model. Ultimately, a tailored, personalized learning plan will map out what each Sailor needs to succeed in or compete for a position.

"Advance to Opening" lets enlisted Sailors advance based on their acquired competencies. It comes with greater opportunities to compete for positions in higher pay grades.

Interactive Detailing, a system that's already in progress with the Job Assignment Selection System, called JCMS, is being expanded. This will match rating and Navy Enlisted Classifications to billets, then move toward Sailors controlling their own destinies by using a resume. The result will generate the best fit for the job.

Certifications and Qualifications will focus on letting Sailors leverage Navy experience and training to enhance their resume. It associates professional milestones with recognized civilian certifications.

"Life Long Learning" emphasizes formal (i.e. college degree) and non-formal (i.e. hobby-related) courses. Education in general is linked to the Personal Development vector of the Five-Vector Model. By Fiscal Year 2010, an Associate's Degree will be required for advancement to Senior Chief Petty Officer.

“We want to examine the Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) of each of these products. We will look at the holes and delivery of that product, to come up with a date and stick to it,” said Moran.

Nearly 2,000 military and civilian personnel attended the talk.
