The U.S. Navy recently released the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP) plan, increasing quotas and expanding commanding officers' ability to recognize and advance top performing Sailors. The updates to MAP include: (1) commands can use MAP E-4 quotas to advance E-1 to E-3 Sailors; (2) E-6 time-in rate requirement (TIR) is now one year. However, nuclear trained Sailors must still complete at least two years as an E-5; and (3) commands can submit multiple MAP Certification Letters (MCL) during the MAP season. MAP open season will last from July 1 - Aug. 31. For more information, visit the MAP webpage.
