CAREER ROADMAP
Airman Recruit to Master Chief Roadmap
The educational roadmap below will assist Sailors in the Aviation Electronics Technician - Intermediate Level community through
the process of pursuing professional development and advanced education using various military and civilian resources e.g.
PQS program; JST Joint Service Transcript; E-Learning; Navy College Network; etc. Successful leadership is the key to military
readiness and will always require a high degree of technical skill, professional knowledge, and intellectual development.
What is a Career Roadmap for Aviation Electronics Technician - Intermediate Level?
Aviation Electronics Technician - Intermediate Level roadmaps are just what the name implies - a roadmap through the Enlisted
Learning and Development Continuum from Airman Recruit through Master Chief. The principal focus is to standardize a
program Navy wide by featuring the existing skills necessary to be successful in the Navy. The ultimate goal of a roadmap is to
produce a functional and competent Sailor.
What is the Enlisted Learning and Development Continuum?
Enlisted Learning and Development Continuum is the formal title given to the curriculum and process building on the foundation
of Sailorization beginning in our Delayed Entry Program through Recruit Training Command and throughout your entire career.
The continuum combines skill training, professional education, well-rounded assignments, and voluntary education. As you
progress through your career, early-on skill training diminishes while professional military education gradually increases.
Experience is the ever-present constant determining the rate at which a Sailor trades skill training for professional development.
Do Sailors have to follow the Roadmap?
Yes. The Aviation Electronics Technician - Intermediate Level roadmap includes the four areas encompassed by the Continuum
in Professional Military Education to include; Navy Professional Military Education (NPME), Joint Professional Military
Education (JPME), Leadership and Advanced Education.
Some training and education is mandatory (Recruit Training, E-Learning, etc.). Some may be directed by your chain of
command (Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint courses), and the remainder is voluntary (MNP, E-Learning, college courses, etc.).
Sailors are advised to seek out mentors, including your Command Master Chief, Senior Enlisted Advisor, Leading Chief Petty
Officer, Leading Petty Officer and Command Career Counselor, and to make use of your Navy College Virtual Education Center
(VEC) or OCONUS Education Office's vast resources. All are uniquely qualified to help you along the way.

Career Waypoints-Reenlistment:
The Command Career Counselor is your local advocate to assist you with the Career Waypoints application process.
E3-E6 Sailors with less than 14 years of service must submit a Career Waypoints application, regardless of reenlistment
intentions. Sailors who do not desire to reenlist will submit an "intends to separate" application. Sailors not eligible for
reenlistment will submit a "not eligible" application.
The Career Waypoints system automatically generates most of the applications needed by Sailors. Applications must be
submitted no later than 16 months prior to expiration of active/reserve obligated service (EAOS/EOS) or as extended
(SEAOS/SEOS). Sailors with less than 24 months of contract time remaining at their projected rotation date (PRD) will
submit an application 15 months prior to their PRD. In either case, the Career Waypoints system will automatically generate
ATI-AviationElectronicsTechnician-IntermediateLevel-E5
Page36of50
applications for Sailors 18 months prior to either timeframe. Applications required outside of the established C-Way gates
can be submitted as Special Circumstance applications. Examples of when these may be needed include OBLISERVE for
special duty, decommissioning or homeport shift.
The C-Way 3-2-1 Process aligns career decisions with the detailing process. Soft End of Active/Reserve Obligated Service
(SEAOS/SEOS)/End of Active/Reserve Obligated Service (EAOS/EOS) applications are created by C-Way at the 18 month
from S/EAOS/EOS mark and must be submitted by the Command Career Counselor at the 16 month mark. This provides
time for the Career Counselor to validate the Sailor's information and to ascertain the Sailors career intentions. The first C-
Way review gate occurs from 16 to 13 months from S/EAOS/EOS with career choice options of in-rate, conversion, and
Selected Reserve. The second review gate occurs from 12 to 9 months from S/EAOS/EOS with career choice options of
conversion and Selected Reserve. From 8 months to 4 months to S/EAOS/EOS the Sailor can only choose Selected
Reserve affiliation.
Monthly reenlistment quotas are limited and must be reserved for our best and brightest Sailors who desire to Stay Navy.
Sailors must choose one of the following based on their desires and qualifications:
Reenlist-in-Rate,
Reenlist-in-rate, Willing to Convert
Convert only

AC/TAR to CIP (Intermission)
AC/TAR to Tour w/ Industry
SELRES option
Canvasser Recruiter
Intend to separate
Not eligible
In February 2014, C-Way delivered auto-approval capabilities to provide reenlistment decisions on S/EAOS/EOS applications
more quickly for eligible ratings. This changed the monthly processing of reenlistment applications as described below.
If you are in an, "open" rating or a "balanced" rating in an undermanned year group or an E6, you are eligible for
reenlistment, and your application is submitted with correct data it will be auto-approved and returned immediately, and you
can reenlist.
If you are in a "competitive" rating or a balanced rating but not an undermanned year group, then your application will be
processed through the monthly Rack and Stack process. Applications submitted in one month are processed in Rack and
Stack the following month.
For Nuclear ratings, all applications are reviewed by enlisted community managers on an ongoing basis throughout the
processing month.
If required data is missing (evaluations, Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) data, security clearance etc.) the application
will be denied with a note to your career counselor regarding what needs to be fixed. It is critical the Command Career
Counselor reviews these notes to ensure Sailors are not disadvantaged in their opportunities for retention.
Upon completion of the monthly process, Career Waypoints results will be available to command users via the Monthly
report section of the Career Waypoint system.

VOLUNTARY EDUCATION
Note: Prior to considering any pursuit of off duty education or program enrollment contact the Navy College Virtual
Education Center (NCVEC) or visit your Overseas Navy College Office.
You must complete the Tuition Assistance Training before your first course will be approved.
Complete the online courses at the Navy College Website: http://www.navycollege.navy.mil/
How do I get started?
You already have. All your training up to this point is part of your Aviation Electronics Technician - Intermediate Level
Roadmap. Now that you have made the first steps you will need to sit down and formulate a plan. This plan will work best if you
start out discussing your options with your Leading Chief Petty Officer, Leading Petty Officer, Mentor, or Career Counselor. They
will help you understand all of the basics. Then your next step is to contact the Navy College Virtual Education Center or visit your
Overseas Navy College Office. Then your counselors will be able to help you formalize your plan and make sure that it makes
sense for both you and the Navy. To aid you in your conversation with these professionals, here are a few questions that you may
want to ask.
What credits do you have? What non-college courses have you taken? Where do you want to go? What field of study, or what
kind of degree? What program will help me get there: Traditional or Online? What are my next steps: Transfer credits, take
exams, have experience evaluated, or sign up for new courses?

GENERAL INFORMATION ON VOLUNTARY EDUCATION
The Navy College Program & Web Page:
The Navy College Program (NCP) provides opportunities to Sailors to earn college degrees by providing
academic credit for Navy training, work experience, and off-duty education. The NCP mission is to enable
Sailors to obtain a college degree while on active duty. In support of the four R's - Recruiting, Readiness,
Retention, and Respect - the NCP signifies Navy's commitment to education by improving enlistment
appeal; demonstrating Navy service and achieving a college degree are compatible; helping Sailors apply
themselves to new situations and challenges and better preparing them for advancement; building up
Sailors' self-image; and producing higher quality Sailors.
More information is available online at: https://www.navycollege.navy.mil
Tuition Assistance (TA):
OPNAVINST 1560.9B provides updated TA policy as of 28 December 2023: TA provides funds for eligible
active-duty personnel to attend approved educational institutions on an off-duty basis to earn a high school
diploma, vocational/technical certificate, or college degree. TA pays for tuition. TA will pay for the following
amount per career: 120 semester hours, or 180-quarter hours or 1800 clock hours or a combination of
semester, quarter and clock hours. TA will pay the following amounts per fiscal year: 18 semester hours, not
to exceed $250/credit for semester hours or 27-quarter hours not-to-exceed $166.67/credit for quarter
hours or, 1800 clock hours not-to-exceed $16.67/clock hours or a combination of semester, quarter and
clock hours.
More information is available online at: https://www.navycollege.navy.mil
Joint Service Transcripts (JST)
JSTs are official military transcripts which are used by colleges to validate your actual credited training.
Every Sailor has a transcript already and access to it is free.
More information is available online at: https://jst.doded.mil/
The American Council on Education (ACE)
ACE has reviewed every course listed in the OCCUPATIONAL Roadmap and determined what type of
collegiate level credit is recommended. The ACE identifier, listed with each course, is a source to validate
the information and to check for changes as they occur.
Updates can be found at https://www.acenet.edu/Programs-Services/Pages/Credit-
Transcripts/Military-Guide-Online.aspx.
Vocational Certificates
Vocational Certificates are available from most community colleges. Most of your military training can be
counted toward their degree programs, but they will still require residency credits and approximately 40-75
credit hours. These certificates can be as valuable as the apprenticeship program in the civilian work
force.
College credits by Testing CLEP, DSST
Testing can replace the requirement to attend most of the college courses listed in the Occupational
Roadmap. Base Education Centers offer CLEP and DSST exams for active duty military at no cost. They
also offer a comprehensive list of "credit-by-exam" tests. Additionally, many of the tests have study guides
available. These tests are available at the base education center or through the base library system. For
specific testing locations visit the DANTES website.
Navy College Program: https://www.navycollege.navy.mil/sailors/resouces
DANTES: https://www.dantes.mil/clep/ and https://www.dantes.mil/dsst/
College Entrance Exams Testing ACT, SAT
The ACT and SAT are both standardized tests that help colleges evaluate candidates. Many colleges
require that students submit test results as part of the admission application process. Since Sailors are
considered transfer students, these tests are not generally required for admission. However, some Sailors
must take the tests to enter specific military programs.

NAVY ENLISTED LEADER DEVELOPMENT (ELD) PROGRAM
ELD describes all aspects of enlisted leadership skills training, character development, decision
making, self-awareness and ethics. It occurs when a member participates in leader development
activities, formal education, reading or viewing leadership-related material, discussing leadership
issues, observing leaders in action, and performing as a leader. Effective leader development
includes both formal training and self-directed study and reflection. Navy leaders progress along the
general paths shown in the graphic below. Our Navy will produce leaders and teams who learn
rapidly, make high-quality decisions, and control the high end of maritime conflict.
