Slating Process
*** OFFICERS WILL NOT BE SLATED TO THEIR SECOND DIVISION OFFICER TOURS BEFORE COMPLETING SWO QUALIFICATION. Officers must submit SWO qualification letters to their Detailers by 14 September to be included on this slate. ***
*** NEW: Complete Ship/Homeport/Billet list now included! No longer do Division Officers have to wonder what the actual available billets are out there on the waterfront. Officer preference submission remains the same – each officer is to submit their preference for homeport, billet, and platform and list at least their top five choices in each category. The difference is that now if they submit their number one preference as DDG/SDGO/FCO, they will know exactly which DDGs are available in San Diego with an open FCO billet.***
SLATE SLACK! – REAL TIME FEEDBACK TO YOUR SLATE QUESTIONS
OPTESTED: THIS WORKS FOR SHIPS AT SEA!
We’re providing two opportunities for you to get real-time feedback from PERS 41, regarding any slating questions you may have. This is designed to focus on YOU, during YOUR slating window!
- 0800-1000 & 1600-1800 CST – 08 September
Sign up for a Slack account at: https://pers-41.slack.com/signup -- you can also use the Slack app on your phone…but you MUST setup your account with your official Navy email address, due to required domain limits.
The objective of the slating process is to assign officers to billets while balancing individual preferences, professional development, and the needs of the Navy.
The slating process begins when officers eligible for slating are contacted by their Detailers. The Detailers do not have the phone numbers or email addresses of your officers unless your officers have already contacted them. It is imperative that your officers initiate contact with their Detailers. Meanwhile, Commanding Officers are contacted by the JO Sea Coordinator. These initial emails notify officers that they are within their slating window and solicit their preferences. CO Inputs are due to the Sea Coordinator and officer preferences are due to Detailers by 13 September 2016. Officers should also confirm that Detailers have their current qualification status. Preference submission instructions are provided below.
Officers who do not submit preferences by the deadline will be slated on a post-slate. This will result in reduced billet options. Commanding Officer input is invaluable in the slating process, but officers will be slated even if Commanding Officers do not provide input.
On 16 September, officers will be ranked based on performance as documented in the most recent FITREP and qualifications received as of 14 September. The importance of this FITREP cannot be underestimated, and officers should personally ensure that it appears in their Electronic Service Records. The slate ranking determines the slating order. Between these objective bookends, we also consider each officer's preferences, next milestone opportunities, command input, incumbent/relief timing, and PCS cost limitations in producing the final slate. We are only permitted to spend PCS dollars on 50% of the 1st Tour DIVOs rolling to second tours at sea.
A Commanding Officer’s promise of an EOOW or TAO qualification factors into calculating slate rank and broadens an officer's billet selection base, though it does not weigh as heavily as a documented qual. A promised qualification commits the officer to completion. An EOOW qualification or promise is necessary to be slated to staff billets (CDS, CPR, MSC) and DDG 1000/1001.
Commanding Officers are asked to review their officers’ preferences and provide additional recommendations and remarks if desired. Once the slate has been approved by PERS-41, the JO Sea Coordinator will provide Commanding Officers the slate results.
Instructions for Preference Submission
Detailers will contact all officers to be slated by Thursday, 01 September with slating information and instructions for how to submit their preferences. If your officers are not contacted on Thursday, please have them reach out to their Detailers. Contact information is at the bottom of this page. Officers will be provided a slate input document in order to submit their preferences. In that document they will be asked the following questions:
1. Among the following three categories, what is your priority?
Homeport/Billet/Platform
2. What are five or more feasible choices in each category? Two must be afloat platforms.
Caution: Not providing a complete list limits the Detailers’ ability to match preferences. We strongly encourage officers to contribute five or more choices in each category to ensure we have the complete picture.
3. Do you have any specific facts, circumstances, or elements that should be considered during the slating process?
It is not necessary to provide anything in addition to answering the first two questions, but there are often extenuating circumstances and we will read and consider everything.

* DDG 1001 is scheduled for ~6-12 months of PRECOM time. PRECOM officers will then serve 12 months of sea duty following ship’s custody transfer to the crew. PERS-41 is seeking high quality, motivated JOs to commission the Navy’s newest class of warship. Officers on DDG 1001 PRECOM duty are able to use GEV funding ($20K/year for 2 years) to complete graduate degrees since shore duty opportunities post-DIVO may be shortened. 7.5 YCS remains the target to begin DH School.
** Tours in Bahrain are 24 months if accompanied by family members, 18 months if unaccompanied.

** The LCS Council has approved a pilot program to explore the opportunity for junior officers to lead LCS mission modules (MMs). Officers must be willing and able to lead independently and assume this unique responsibility. SUW MM training is approximately seven months in length and includes extensive AT/FP, SRF, and VBSS training.
