NAVADMIN 314/20 announced the Navywide advancement exam (NWAE) administration dates for Selected Reserve (SELRES) E-4 through E-7 candidates for the upcoming February 2021 advancement cycle (Cycle 108).
All candidates serving on voluntary recall, mobilization or as canvasser recruiters will also compete for advancement as a SELRES.
Sailors eligible for advancement will see similar processes used during the fall cycle as the Navy continues to ensure the safety of all Sailors during the COVID-19 pandemic.
E-4 candidates, with the exception of E-4 Prior Service Reenlisted Eligibility Reserve (PRISE-R) candidates, will not participate in the advancement exam administrations as a safety precaution. Instead, the opportunity for advancement will be based on an alternative Final Multiple Score (FMS) rank-order method without inclusion of the advancement exam score.
