Recommendation for Advancement in Rate or
Change of Rating (Worksheet)
The Recommendation for Advancement in Rate or
Change of Rating (Worksheet), NAVEDTRA 1430/2, is
prepared for each candidate participating in a Navywide
advancement examination. This includes members in
paygrade E-6 who are participating for the Limited Duty
Officer Program. Worksheets are ready for verification
at least 1 month before the examination. Examining
boards and candidates use the worksheet as a checkoff
sheet and for transferring information to the answer
sheet. Inaccurate information on a worksheet creates
inequities for a candidate and could prevent a fully
qualified candidate from being advanced. Each
candidate should make sure all personal information
listed is correct. Many candidates have questions about
the information listed on their worksheet. Waiting until
the examination day to discuss these questions prolongs
the examination and interferes with its orderly conduct.
Insist that all worksheets are signed before the
examination day. Figure 2-1 shows a completed
worksheet and figure 2-2 shows the corresponding
answer sheet.
OTHER ADVANCEMENT PROGRAMS
Other methods of advancement or change in rating
are through special programs that do not require
participation in a Navywide advancement examination.
Some of these include the following:
l Incentive programs that include the Selective
Conversion and Reenlistment (SCORE) Program,
Selected Training and Reenlistment (STAR) Program,
Accelerated Advancement Program (AAP), and
Advanced Electronics Field/Advanced Technical Field
(AEF/ATF) Program.
. Meritorious advancement programs such as
selectees for the Atlantic, Pacific, Shore, and Reserve
Sailor of the Year, Enlisted Recruiter of the Year,
Enlisted Reserve Recruiter of the Year, Command
Advancement Program (CAP), and meritorious
advancements for recruiting personnel.
Selective Conversion and Reenlistment
Program
The SCORE Program offers special career
incentives to enlisted members who reenlist for
conversion (change of rating) to ratings that are
undermanned as listed in Career Reenlistment
Objectives (CREO), OPNAVINST 1160.4G. There are
two categories in which an applicant may be placed
within the program that should be defined in order to
properly counsel personnel. The categories are SCORE
and RESCORE.
l SCORE applies only to personnel who enter into
the program while on naval active duty.
. RESCORE applies to personnel who have been
separated from active duty and then reenlist for the
program in a continuous service status (reenlistment
within 3 months from separation date) or in a broken
service status (reenlistment after more than 3 months
from separation date). It should be noted that members
who reenlist under broken service conditions must
reestablish a 21-month continuous active service
eligibility requirement for Selective Reenlistment
Bonus (SRB), if otherwise eligible.
Career incentives offered by SCORE and
RESCORE are as follows:
. Guaranteed assignment to an appropriate class A
school with automatic conversion of rating upon
satisfactory completion of that school. BUPERS may
waive the requirement for class A school if prior training
and experience indicate that class A school training is
not necessary.
. Guaranteed assignment to an appropriate class C
school or class C school package and class C school
package or Advanced First Term Avionics (AITA)
training for the AT rating.
. Possible advancement to petty officer third class
or petty officer second class.
l Entitlement to an SRB if otherwise eligible
according to Enlisted Bonus and Special Duty
Assignment Pay Programs, OPNAVINST 1160.6A.
Specific eligibility requirements and application
procedures for the SCORE and RESCORE Programs
are established in the Naval Military Personnel Manual
(MILPERSMAN), NAVPERS 15560C, and CREO,
OPNAVINST 1160.4G. General eligibility
requirements for reenlistment under the SCORE and
RESCORE Programs arc as follows:
. The applicant should be a petty officer first,
second, or third class or E-3 (designated striker and
nonrated).
. The applicant must not have more than one
nonjudicial punishment within the 18-month period
preceding the date of application nor any record of
