The U.S. Navy has announced that it is increasing opportunities for Sailors in overmanned active component occupations to apply for reenlistment into the same reserve component Full Time Support rating. Active duty Sailors can now choose to request reenlistment after 24 months on station in order to move into the same FTS occupation, if that rating is balanced or open, even if they are outside their C-Way reenlistment window. This helps to smooth the process for Sailors to move from one component to another while also providing an increased pool of Sailors to fill certain occupations.
