NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (Jan. 6, 2020) Starting Dec. 5, 2019 with the release of Naval Administrative Message (NAVADMIN) 276/19, Career Management System – Interactive Detailing (CMS-ID) was reintroduced as MyNavy Assignment (MNA). With this name change, according to the NAVADMIN, “the future of enlisted detailing fundamentally changes.”
The intent of this change is to provide sailors with better transparency, flexibility, and choice, and are a part of the U.S. Navy’s Sailor 2025 initiative. According to the U.S. Navy’s Sailor 2025 pamphlet, Sailor 2025 “is the Navy’s program to improve and modernize management training systems,” and MNA is the next step in the bold and revolutionary program.
“It simplifies the order selection process,” said Chief Navy Career Counselor Shaqanta Chukwuma, Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73)’s command career counselor. “Billets are now more visible and can be shown twelve months out. Sailors will be able to bookmark a billet and later apply for it.”
Sailors can now focus more on the next steps of their career and not on the billeting process itself. Active duty and Full Time Support (FTS) Sailors will be able to review and apply for billets in MNA, but there are exceptions to the changes.
“Sailors in the Exceptional Family Member Program need to directly contact their detailers, and co-located sailors must negotiate orders with their detailers also,” said Chukwuma.
The first change Sailors will see is a new graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI is a key element in delivering modern human resources service and experience for everyone who uses MNA.
Along with the changes to the GUI, the update will bring an increased access window, allowing Sailors to see billets up to 12 months out from their projected rotation date (PRD). The change also brings an expanded job search capability, additional job search tools, bookmark capability, and an improved application process.
A change that affects not only Sailors, but the gaining commands as well, is the MyResume feature that comes with the change to MNA.
“This change not only allows a Sailor’s current command to give inputs, but it also allows Sailors to create a resume,” added Chukwuma. “With the addition of having a resume, now a potential gaining command can see additional skills or education that a Sailor’s profile doesn’t show, allowing for greater flexibility with selection.”
The MyNavy team has already begun work on future updates. The team is committed to continuing to learn and adjust their business processes and practices to improve transparency, flexibility, and choice for both Sailors and commands.
