MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) -- A transcription error in shifting quota information to a spreadsheet resulted in incorrect quotas being generated for Full Time Support (FTS) E-6 advancement, causing 134 FTS Sailors to be listed as selected for E-6 advancement who should not be advanced.
Additionally, 31 FTS Sailors who should have been listed as "selected" for advancement to E-6 were omitted from the original list.
NAVADMIN 162-09 contains the correct names of the FTS E-6 Sailors actually selected for advancement. Each affected Sailor's command is being contacted by a staff officer to ensure they are informed of this error. Corrected advancement results will be posted on BUPERS On-Line (BOL) and the Navy Enlisted Advancement System websites.
"We deeply regret this error and apologize to those Sailors and their families mistakenly notified of advancement," said Rear Adm. Dan Holloway, director of the Navy's military personnel, plans and policy division.
"This is an isolated incident caused by a transcription error that occurred as quotas were moved from the original spreadsheet into a second spreadsheet," Holloway explained. "To ensure this doesn't happen again, I've added an additional independent verification process for all future lists."
Sailors who may have been erroneously frocked will have a notation made in their records indicating an administrative error, rather than any adverse action, resulted in the revocation of their frocking to E-6.
