Developing the Command Senior Chief Rating

• While Growing Experience in the Command Leadership Ranks

• Growing the future MCPONs

Working Group Tasking

Why the need?

• Reducing population of Master Chiefs due to end strength reductions

• NEC management of assignments is having a negative impact on technical ratings due to EPA assignments that do not match actual selections.

• TIS growing to make Master Chief is growing (21.5 yrs) making the population for multiple tours smaller

• To adequately reflect the work being accomplished through a proper rating assignment vice retaining the technical rating and not filling a billet

• Incentive in title and advancement to encourage submission and grow experience earlier with our very best senior chiefs.

Early Actions Reviewed in WG Identify numbers for growing each level of the pyramid to enable healthy

growth in experience. (Action removed due to no desire to change CMDCM billets.)

Define the difference in the CMDCM and CMDCS commands. (Use current billets and growth within LCS and other platforms)

Identify CMDCS Commands based on definition and determine if this provides for a healthy rating pyramid. (Action removed due to no desire to change CMDCM Billets)

Create a CMDCS rate to enable those selected into the CMDCS Rate to be removed from their source ratings. (Focus of recommendations)

Delete the CMDCM board and conduct only a CMDCS board, taking a transitional approach. (Grew into a new recommendation)

Advance all CMDCM’s from the CMDCS rate or do we still enable Master Chiefs to apply understanding they will be limited in tours? (Provided in recommendation)

EPA BALANCE

• When a rating has personnel selected for 9578 NEC with no EPA assigned to their rating there is a negative impact on the technical rating manning.

• When there is a rating assigned 9578 EPA and no one currently in the 9578 NEC it creates over advancement in the technical rating which has a negative impact in future advancements.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• Submit NEOCS to establish a CMDCS rating and move 57 EPA from various technical ratings to CMDCS rate. (Growth will occur with LCS)

• CMDCS will not include COB 9579

• Do not downgrade any CMDCM billets

• Update CMC Instruction to include new selection and advancement process as defined in next slide.
