Negotiate Early for Orders via CMS/ID

By Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Andrea Perez, Navy Personnel Command Public Affairs

MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) — Sailors must be proactive and negotiate early for permanent change of station (PCS) orders online through Career Management System Interactive Detailing (CMS/ID), Navy Personnel Command (NPC) officials said Feb. 28.

“CMS/ID is a web-based tool that enables enlisted Sailors to research and apply for jobs and communicate their career goals to career counselors and detailers,” said Rear Adm. Michael White, NPC assistant commander for Career Management. “Prospective commands can review and comment on Sailor applications, and detailers can review applications and make selections.”

Sailors can log into CMS/ID with their common access card via Navy Knowledge Online at www.nko.navy.mil or visit the CMS/ID website at https://www.cmsid.navy.mil/jass/Index.action .

Per NAVADMIN 249/09, Sailors must have Perform to Serve (PTS) approval before negotiating orders through CMS/ID. Therefore, a Sailor’s PTS application at the 15 to 12 month point prior to their projected rotation date (PRD) is key to getting a timely PTS quota and being able to apply for jobs in CMS/ID.

The detailing window is nine-to-seven months before a Sailor’s PRD. This allows for a three-month window to negotiate for orders before a Sailor is considered to be eligible for an involuntary “needs of the Navy” assignment.

CMS/ID uses color coding to identify jobs. The majority or jobs are displayed in the green zone and are considered open requisitions. Immediate requisitions – the most critical fills that could directly degrade mission capability if unfilled – are displayed in the red zone.

All red zone billets will be filled each cycle and any Sailor in the negotiating window is considered eligible for assignment to a red zone requisition.

Detailers will identify Sailors for assignment to critical red zone requirements using the priorities below in the following order.

* Volunteers.

* Sailors available for immediate assignment. Generally, these are Sailors returning to full duty from limited duty, or Sailors whose current assignment has been curtailed for some reason.

* Sailors who are unassigned and within the “needs of the navy” window.

* Sailors within nine months of their PRD. These Sailors will be further categorized by PRD month, starting with those who have been in their negotiation window the longest. Involuntary assignments of Sailors from within this category will be made only with detailer director approval.

CMS/ID has six phases each month; the requisition load phase where available billets are uploaded into the system; a requisition scrub phase where Navy officials validate uploaded billets; an application phase where Sailors in their orders-negotiation window can review and apply for advertised assignments; a command comments phase where commands may review, rank and comment on applications to advertised billets at their command; a detailer selection phase where detailers match applicants to jobs; and a system maintenance phase.

Sailors may log into CMS/ID anytime after the detailer selection phase to see if they have been selected for orders.

“We encourage all users to update their contact information on their User Profile, accessible from the Home menu. This provides the detailer a method to contact a Sailor in case they have a question about the application or need more information,” said White. “In some cases it can mean the difference between a Sailor receiving the orders they applied for or not.”

Some factors a detailer must weigh when matching Sailors to jobs include the Sailors desires, qualifications, career progression and cost to the Navy.

White recommends Sailors nearing their orders negotiation window speak with their chain of command and career counselor to discuss sea/shore flow and career enhancing billets before applying in CMS/ID.

Sailors can learn more about CMS/ID from their command career counselor or at Navy Personnel Command’s CMS/ID Web page at www.npc.navy.mil/enlisted/cmsid/Pages/default2.aspx.

REF/A/ MSG / CNO WASHINGTON DC/091538ZDEC21// REF/B/ MSG / CNO WASHINGTON DC/230112ZAUG08// REF/C/ MSG / CNO WASHINGTON DC/022009ZDEC19//

NARR/REF A IS NAVADMIN 280/21, DETAILING MARKETPLACE ASSIGNMENT POLICY  (DMAP).    REF B IS NAVADMIN 234/08, SEA SHORE FLOW ENLISTED CAREER PATHS.    REF C IS NAVADMIN 274/19, SEA SHORE FLOW ENLISTED CAREER PATHS UPDATE.

RMKS/1.  This NAVADMIN provides additional details and guidance regarding  Detailing Marketplace Assignment Policy (DMAP) to ensure more Sailors and  commands can benefit.     a.  In addition to afloat commands benefitting from experienced and  motivated Sailors staying at sea, DMAP plank owners selected in the recent  inaugural MyNavy Assignment (MNA) cycle will:         (1) Receive an increase in pay through advancement from E4 to E5, if  not already E5.         (2) Collect a monthly monetary incentive, Detailing Marketplace  Incentive Pay (DMIP), in addition to collecting sea pay and sea pay premium.         (3) Remain in the same homeport on the ship or squadron where they  trained as an Apprentice Sailor if selected for Command Advance to Position  (CA2P).         (4) Earn an advantage in MNA for a follow-on shore tour assignment  after completing their journeyman (E5) sea tour.     b.  Sailors within the DMAP Phase I ratings (ABF, ABH, CS and GSM) should anticipate maximum flexibility in determining who meets the  requirements of reference (a) and minimum friction in accepting a DMAP plus- three sea tour.  The MyNavy HR team will interpret every requirement within  all DMAP policy guidance to ensure the greatest possible participation.

2.  Projected Rotation Date (PRD) Adjustments.  Effective immediately,  Enlisted Distribution Division (PERS-40) will adjust PRDs to a 48-month tour  for all E5 and E5 eligible Sailors within the DMAP Phase I ratings who are  serving in their initial Continental United States (CONUS) sea tour.  This  replaces paragraph

4.f of reference (a) and alleviates the administrative burden on activities  by no longer requiring submission of Electronic Personnel Action Request  (NAVPERS 1306/7) for DMAP Sailors.

3.  PRD Assignments for New Accession Sailors.  Effective immediately, all  CONUS sea duty accession orders for Sailors in the DMAP Phase I ratings will  be written for an initial 48-month sea tour.  Sailors who do not qualify for  a journeyman (E5) sea tour after serving 3 years on their first sea tour will  have their PRDs adjusted to align with their soft end of active obligated  service. This replaces paragraph 4.b in reference (a) and aligns with the DMAP four- plus-three construct.

4.  CA2P.  To nominate a Sailor for CA2P, activities must submit a member  realignment request (MRR) in MNA prior to or within the first 3 weeks of the next MNA cycle (i.e., prior to the end of the upcoming MNA  scrub phase).  PERS-40 will validate that the activity has a current or  projected E5 funded billet vacancy and then Sailors will be ranked based on  their most recent E5 examination final multiple score.  If DMAP quotas are  available (see paragraph 6), Sailors will:     a.  Be approved for CA2P.     b.  Be realigned to a valid E5 billet.     c.  Have their PRD extended for a 3 year journeyman (E5) tour or a 7 year  total initial sea tour (whichever is later).     d.  Be frocked to E5 upon completion of agreement to obligate additional  service as described above.     e.  Be advanced to E5 upon completion of required training and placement  into a valid E5 billet.         (1) Commands can frock Sailors to E5 as soon as CA2P approval is  received and the Sailor has obligated service through their extended PRD,  either through reenlistment or extension of enlistment.         (2) Sailors will advance to E5 and begin receiving E5 pay upon  filling the E5 billet and will receive DMIP for the last three years on sea  duty.  Transaction support centers will effect advancement to E5 upon  receiving the required key supporting documents.         (3) Instructions on how to submit an MRR, as well as a general list  of eligibility requirements, can be found on the Detailing Marketplace  webpage of the MyNavy HR website at: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Detailing/Enlisted/Detailing- Marketplace/.         (4) The full MNA schedule is available on the detailing marketplace  webpage listed above.  The first 3 weeks of the upcoming MNA cycles (i.e.,  the scrub phase) are provided below:             6 - 24 June 2022             8 - 28 August 2022             3 - 21 October 2022             5 - 22 December 2022         (5) MNA does not allow activities to submit an MRR for Sailors who  are within their order negotiation window (i.e., within 12 months of their PRD).  When operational requirements or PRD adjustments  described in paragraph 2 above prevent MRR submissions prior to the order  negotiation window, activities can submit CA2P nominations via email to  DMAP.fct(at)navy.mil.  If the request is approved, actions will be executed  in alignment with paragraph 4.

5.  Sailors on Second Sea Tour.  E5 eligible Sailors (i.e., E4 Sailors who  have passed the most recent E5 Navy wide advancement exam) and E5 Sailors in a DMAP Phase I rating who are on their second sea  tour are eligible for DMAP incentives in return for a 3 year extension to the  prescribed sea tour length listed in references (b) and (c).  This provides  additional advancement opportunities to E5 eligible Sailors prior to hitting  E4 high year tenure.  It also provides additional geographic stability  options for Sailors desiring to remain in their current homeport.  This is an  expansion of eligibility described in paragraphs 1 and 4 of reference (a).

6.  DMAP Quotas.  The number of DMAP quotas available (i.e., the number of  Sailors that can be on a plus-three sea tour) for each Phase I rating depends  on the number of sea and shore duty billets the rating needs to fill.  DMAP  intends to fill sea duty billets that would remain unmanned under sea shore  flow (SSF).  MyNavy HR intends to phase in the number of Sailors on a plus- three journeyman (E5) sea tour across several years to ensure a smooth transition from SSF to  DMAP, provide opportunity fairness and avoid a large movement of Sailors from  sea to shore at the end of their plus-three journeyman (E5) sea tour.

7.  Additional Considerations.  DMAP represents a major paradigm shift in how  the Navy mans the Fleet.  As such, MyNavy HR intends to collect data and  feedback to help inform future adjustments to DMAP. Sailor and command flexibility and feedback remain key enablers to ensuring  success.  To that end, the following considerations are provided:     a.  Tour Extensions.  The transition from SSF to DMAP may require PERS-40  to extend Sailors in their current shore duty assignment to ensure proper  manning of critical shore activities and to maximize the alignment between  Sailor and billet rating and paygrade.     b.  C-School Quota Management.  DMAP Sailors approved for CA2P or A2P who  require training prior to filling a journeyman (E5) sea duty billet will be  given priority placement in the appropriate C- school to the maximum extent  practicable.     c.  Pulse Surveys.  MyNavy HR intends to send pulse surveys to DMAP Phase  I Sailors who negotiated for orders after each MNA cycle. This gives Sailors the opportunity to provide direct feedback that will be  used in future policy development.     d.  Command Triad Feedback.  Command triads are encouraged to provide  feedback, lessons learned and suggested improvements through their immediate  superior in command and type commanders.

8.  Points of Contact     a.  For specific rate/rating/Navy enlisted classification questions and  concerns, Sailors should contact their respective community manager or  detailer.     b.  For general career information, including questions about DMIP,  Advance to Position and CA2P, contact MyNavy Career Center contact center at  833-330-MNCC (6622) or askmncc(at)navy.mil.     c.  For DMAP questions, contact the MyNavy HR DMAP team at  DMAP.fct(at)navy.mil.

9.  This message will remain in effect until superseded or canceled.

His brothers died in WWII, but French admirers keep their memory alive

Donald Stevens, 97, lost one brother to D-Day and another in Germany. But he put life back together with the help of a French family that honors their sacrifice.

HARRISONBURG, Va. — Donald Stevens couldn’t make it to Normandy this year for the 80th anniversary of D-Day on Thursday, but he considers his spirit to be there anyway. It’s there with his brother Paul, killed two weeks after landing at Omaha Beach in the Allied invasion. And it’s there with another brother, Bill, killed nearly a year later in Germany as the war neared its end.

Donald Stevens, now 97, was the youngest of the three. When he became the sole survivor on active duty, the military told the teenage seaman second class to go home to prevent more deaths in one family. He refused and wound up relegated to a dead-end assignment in Philadelphia, angry and bereft.

His mother, a quiet woman who kept her grief to herself, sent a letter after the war to the French village where Paul was said to have died. Writing in English, not knowing whether anyone would see her words, Lillian Stevens made a simple request: Could someone please find Paul’s grave and send her a photo?

The response would add a new chapter to her life, and to Donald’s — one that continues to this day. The postmaster and his wife in the village of St. Laurent-sur-Mer found the cross bearing Paul’s name in the American cemetery and wrote back to Lillian with a photo of it. For eight decades since, through multiple generations, the same French family has tended the grave, written and visited with the Stevenses and become Donald’s surrogate kin.

“When we think of the red, white and blue of my flag and the red, white and blue of the French flag — we basically wrapped them together,” Donald Stevens, who lives with his son and daughter-in-law in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, said in an interview. “I have always said that I have dual citizenship. I have one on paper, from here. I have one in my heart.”

A grandson of the postmaster wrote the story of the three brothers in comic book form this year, hoping to appeal to young people and keep the memory alive. His cousin shared the tale with an online site called MyHeritage, which drew attention from French media and led to a round of TV interviews in the run-up to celebrations marking the Allied liberation of France from Nazi control.

“I have a deep feeling of gratitude for the sacrifice of the young boys for our liberty,” Ludovic Adeline said in a telephone interview from his home in St. Laurent-sur-Mer. “My duty was to give the information to the people, a duty of memory.”

The Stevens brothers grew up during the Depression in the Pennsylvania coal-mining town of Osceola Mills. Only five years separated the three boys, as close as triplets but so different in personality: Paul, the introvert, smart and steady. Bill, athletic, impetuous and quick to fight a bully. Then Donald, impish, a motormouth, friends with everybody.

Their father, who managed a grocery store, was so stern that he wouldn’t let the boys take anything for pain if they had to get a tooth pulled, Donald remembered. “And you better not cry,” he said.

They had a younger brother and sister, too, but it was the three older boys who were inseparable. They played in the woods and spied on out-of-work men on street corners. When World War II broke out, every boy in town who was old enough — many the sons of European immigrants — signed up to fight. Paul went first, despite a skin condition that could have kept him home — wearing a suit and tie as he headed off to basic training.

Eighty years ago this month, Paul was part of the Allied force that hit the Normandy beaches beginning on D-Day, June 6, 1944. At age 20, he was killed almost two weeks later in a foxhole near the town of Saint-Lo. His mother was home alone when the town telegraph operator showed up with the news.

Bill and Donald had been making plans to become football coaches, hopefully at rival high schools where they could compete against each other. But now Bill, who had just graduated high school and gotten a job, decided he had to enlist. He failed one physical and insisted on another until he qualified. Before heading off, Bill wrote a poem for Paul that concluded:

He cannot come back/It’s now up to me,/To go where he’s gone/So together we’ll be.

Hobbled by infected feet, Bill wound up in the Army’s 10th Armored Division, crammed into a halftrack with four other young soldiers. On April 1, 1945 — Easter Sunday — a German shell blew up the halftrack as it headed toward Berlin. Bill was 19.

It would be five years before the U.S. government officially identified his remains on the battlefield. Bill and his comrades were too intermingled to be individually recovered, so the remains were taken as a group and interred at Arlington National Cemetery.

Donald, who had enlisted in the Navy as soon as he graduated high school, was told that he could no longer deploy into combat. Congress had enacted the “Sullivan law,” named for five brothers from Iowa killed when their ship was sunk in the Pacific, to prevent any single family from such catastrophic loss.

But Donald Stevens didn’t dare walk the streets of his hometown when other boys were still fighting, he said. So he stayed in the Navy, mired in a nothing assignment, until the war ended.

The five-year period of the war was “kind of a lost time,” Stevens says now. All the dreams and plans that he and his brothers shared had been put on hold, and then canceled forever. He was angry, adrift. He drank at an American Legion hall, dragging stories out of combat veterans who were reluctant to relive the horrors of war.

Then his mother sent her humble plea to France.

Charles and Germaine Olard ran the post office in the town of St. Laurent-sur-Mer. When Lillian Stevens’s letter arrived in 1946, it began a close relationship that endured for the remaining 15 years of her life.

“War was on my mother’s mind almost all the time,” Donald Stevens said. “And she lost more than any of the rest of us because my brother Paul, who is the one killed in Normandy, was a carbon copy of her. They both had that idea that if the sun comes up in the morning, it’s going to be a great day.”

Germaine Olard was someone with whom Lillian Stevens could share her feelings of loss and pride. The two women became like long-distance sisters, Donald said, despite the fact that neither spoke the other’s language. Each would have to tap someone else to translate their letters — in Lillian’s case, the local high school French teacher.

Ludovic Adeline, 64, a grandson of Charles and Germaine Olard, remembers how the families remained close even after Lillian Stevens died in 1959.

“When I was a kid at my grandparents’ home, I used to see my grandmother with letters from the U.S.,” Adeline said. “Every Christmas, happy new year, and sometimes she received parcels with clothes for the kids.”

“We grew up with the story,” said Sylvie Laillier, 54, Adeline’s cousin and a granddaughter of the Olards (her mother and Adeline’s were sisters). “I saw so many gifts coming from the States each Christmas. Flowers, cakes — many things. And when the American family came to visit my family, it was a very big moment.”

The families began trading visits every few years in the 1970s. The younger generations kept up the tradition as older relatives died — putting flowers on Paul Stevens’s grave two or three times a year, rubbing sand from Omaha Beach into his and other headstones to make the letters stand out.

Adeline, a retired book shop owner, spent years toying with the idea of writing about the brothers and the families so that the tale would stay alive. Finally he settled on making a comic book. “I thought it was the best way to transmit the story to young people,” he said.

“The Three Stevens Brothers” came out this year in French and English versions.

Though thoughts of his brothers never left him, Donald Stevens said the book and recent attention have made them feel more present than ever. MyHeritage, the site where Laillier shared the family history, used new technology to create “living images” of his brothers from family photographs. Stevens’s son showed them to him for the first time this week.

First Paul — smiling slightly, blinking, looking side to side — then Bill. “There he is,” Donald Stevens said, then his breath caught, and his eyes filled with tears at the young men come to life. “Oh, boy. Oh, my word.” Composing himself, Stevens gestured at the photographs. “So they never grew up beyond that. That’s the oldest I ever knew them.”

He, on the other hand, built the life his brothers never got to have. He married a childhood sweetheart, earned an engineering degree and had a long career developing computer technology. His daughter died of cancer as a teenager; Stevens lives now with his son, Scott, a professor at James Madison University. His grandson has a successful career in Maryland. His wife died in 2017 after 68 years of marriage, but “we had so, so much fun,” he said.

Stevens thinks about what it might mean, that he lived and his brothers didn’t. Maybe that’s the way it had to be. They helped defeat a terrible foe, and they might not like the world today. Years ago, Stevens identified about 20 factors in the country’s quality of life — from infrastructure to balance of incomes and world trade — and gave each a numerical ranking. Every year, he would reevaluate. They all got worse.

Now he looks around and sees division everywhere. America’s foes use the internet to inflame tensions. “Divide and conquer is working. We are divided and I think we’re being conquered. My opinion,” Stevens said.

He only knows one long-term solution, and it’s the same thing that saved the Stevenses from their terrible loss: connection. “We have to come back to where we can talk to each other, trust each other,” he said. Like family.
