Our best Sailors actively avoid Sea Duty.
Behold.
FM CNO WASHINGTON DC//N1//Of course, we don't want to discuss who will not be getting shore duty. Who will have to fill those unfilled sea duty billets. And we unquestionably do not want to know the reason why.

AMPN/REF A IS SCREENING REQUIREMENTS FOR ASSIGNMENT AS A RECRUIT DIVISION COMMANDER.// RMKS/1. PART OF NAVYS TOTAL FORCE VISION FOR THE 21ST CENTURY IS TO DRAW OUR STRENGTH AND INNOVATION FROM THE DIVERSITY OF OUR NATION. THE NAVY IS FOCUSING ITS EFFORT ON EMERGING TALENT MARKETS AND IS WORKING TO INCREASE FEMALE ACCESSIONS IN FY10. THE MOTIVATION AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF YOUNG SAILORS AT RECRUIT TRAINING CENTER (RTC) GREAT LAKES IS A VITAL MISSION, ONE THAT CAN BENEFIT FROM THE PRESENCE OF OUTSTANDING FEMALE ROLE MODELS.
2. INCREASING FEMALE RECRUIT DIVISION COMMANDER (RDC) MANNING LEVELS ALIGNS WITH THE INCREASE IN FEMALE ACCESSIONS, HOWEVER, RDC MANNING COMPETES WITH OTHER SPECIAL SHORE PROGRAMS FOR OUR TALENTED FEMALE
ENLISTED LEADERS. A MODIFICATION TO THE CURRENT DETAILING ASSIGNMENT POLICIES IS REQUIRED TO ENSURE OUR NEW SAILORS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN FROM OUR BEST FEMALE ENLISTED LEADERS. AS A RESULT, FEMALE SAILORS CONSIDERING THIS OUTSTANDING LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITY ARE BEING OFFERED SEA TOUR CURTAILMENT (UP TO ONE YEAR EARLY) OR SHORE TO SHORE ASSIGNMENT TO SERVE AS A RDC. THESE NEW OPTIONS ARE IN ADDITION TO THE BENEFITS RDCS ALREADY RECEIVE AS LISTED IN REF A. DURING 2010, WE ANTICIPATE OPENINGS FOR APPROXIMATELY 50 ADDITIONAL FEMALE RDCS, IN ORDER TO REACH THE 100 PERCENT REQUIREMENT OF 127 FEMALE RDCS.
3. RDC ASSIGNMENTS OFFER A NUMBER OF SIGNIFICANT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, DIVERSIFICATION, LEADERSHIP AND CAREER ADVANCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES. IF YOU ARE A HARD-CHARGING, DISCIPLINED FEMALE SAILOR, WHO POSSESSES STRONG CHARACTER AND PERSONAL INTEGRITY, AND WANT TO PURSUE THE MOST CHALLENGING SAILORIZATION DUTY ASHORE, THEN THE NAVY WANTS YOU AS A RDC.
4. FOR INTERESTED SAILORS, SUBMIT A 1306/7 (ENLISTED PERSONNEL ACTION REQUEST), REQUESTING DUTY AS A RDC TO YOUR RATING DETAILER. REF A CONTAINS ALL SCREENING REQUIREMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR WAIVER SUBMISSIONS. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND ON THE NPC WEBSITE AT WWW.NPC.NAVY.MIL/ENLISTED/ SHORESPECIALPROGRAMS/RDC_ MEPS_OCS/RDC.HTM.
