to aid you in understanding the systems, equipment, or topics presented.
All of the instruction sheets are identified by their unit and lesson topic number. They are listed
in the order of their use. Each lesson topic will contain at least one Enabling Objective.
The Enabling Objectives listed in this Guide specify the knowledge and/or skills that you will
learn during the course, and reflect the performance expected of you on the job. The Enabling
Objectives specify the knowledge and/or skills you will learn in a specific lesson topic. You
should thoroughly understand the Enabling Objectives for a lesson topic and what these
objectives mean to you before you start each lesson topic. Each learning objective contains
behavior(s), conditions, and standards. They are defined as follows:
The behavior is a description of the performance and/or knowledge that you will learn in that
lesson topic;
The conditions under which you will be able to perform or use the knowledge;
The standard(s) to which you will be able to perform or use the knowledge.
The objectives provide a means by which you can check your progress during training. The
objectives also enable you to evaluate your training when you have finished, so you can ensure
that you have satisfied the goals of the course. Your instructor will explain the objectives to you
at the start of the course. Feel free to ask for additional information during training if you feel
that you are not learning as you should.

We deem that it is our job to design and provide curriculum that is challenging,
interesting, current, and relevant. This applies equally to the entry-level and continuum courses,
manage development programs, and field development workshops that we are involved with.
We endeavor to foster learning environments that are stimulating, motivating, supportive and
participative, and we strive to build on the insights and experience of each student.
For courses which require formal student assessment, we provide innovative course
assignments (e.g., field-based projects). Secondary benefits of these assignments include a
greater appreciation of the difficulty associated with implementing "theory," and an enhanced
awareness of career opportunities. Lastly, we prefer the use of open-book, and application based
examinations. Such examinations remove the necessity of memorization learning. Instead,
students are required to assess and employ material, make judgments, state a position, and
advance contextually specific arguments.

procedures, and policies of the Navy Recruiting Orientation Unit, and Naval Air Station
Pensacola.

j. Fire drill procedures: For fire drills and actual cases of fire the following will apply:
(1) Students will leave the building through the nearest exit.
COURSE INDOCTRINATION
(2) Class will form up on the Southeast side of the building (staff parking lot) with the
class leader.

flight prior to 1300.
(3) Uniform for graduation will be service dress whites/blues, or appropriate civilian attire.

4. Miscellaneous Information:
a. Hurricane Preparedness. Hurricane season is from June 1 through November 30. In 2004,
four major hurricanes struck the state of Florida. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated
the Gulf Coast. The lesson learned is not "if" a hurricane will strike, but “when”. Having
a plan and preparing for a hurricane is key to surviving before, during and after a storm.
b. Driving on-base:
(1) SPEEDING – The base-wide speed limit is 20 MPH unless otherwise posted. Security
Force personnel utilize radar in traffic enforcement.

(3) DUI – NAS Pensacola has “zero tolerance” for drunk driving or driving under the
influence of any controlled substance. Security Personnel aggressively enforce DUI
laws on base.

Terminal Objective:
1.1.0 Complete the 4 modules of classroom facilitated FULL SPEED AHEAD training
building on the foundational elements of personal engagement, peer accountability and
intervention, values-based decision-making, and leadership.
Enabling Objectives:
1.1.1 Describe what a picture of “right” looks like with regard to the Navy’s Core Values,
the Navy Ethos, the Navy’s Core Attributes and the Navy’s culture of professionalism
and values that distinguish it from other “cultures of business.”
1.1.2 Demonstrate how to make “right” actionable beyond merely following the rules by
doing the right thing (socially, morally, ethically, and legally), whether or not explicitly
stated in rules and regulations.
1.1.3 Recognize that small behaviors and small steps towards positive change (personally,
professionally, and in the workplace) create a ripple effect in the behavior of others.
1.1.4 Describe barriers to behavioral and cultural change, including long-held traditions and
practices; social consequences of intervening or attempting to influence change; the
pull of one’s culture and environment; and resistance from micro-climates, peers, and
leaders.
1.1.5 Recognize that silence in the face of wrong-doing will be perceived as consent by
shipmates and as authorized behavior by subordinates..
1.1.6 Describe the influential role of the Sailors in the “Critical Middle” (E5-E8, O1-O4)
with regard to their unique ability to motivate, inspire, and influence positive culture
change due to their direct leadership of Junior Sailors as well as their access to Sailors
higher in the chain of command.
Topic Outline:
1. Introduction
a. The purpose of the Full Speed Ahead (FSA) training course builds on the foundational
elements of personal engagement, peer accountability and intervention, values-based
decision-making, and leadership articulated in the Take the Helm (SAPR-L, SAPR-F),
Bystander Intervention to the Fleet (BI2F), and Chart the Course (CTC) training
products.
(1) − We’re all influenced, to some degree, by those around us. And just as we’re
influenced by others, we leave an impact on others too.
(a) Have you ever stopped to think about what kind of impact you leave?
(a) It’s about how our actions and our leadership can have a direct and positive
impact on our shipmates and our Navy profession, and how those actions and
leadership can elevate our entire culture.
i. This is not a charge for the Sailors to the left and right of us.
ii. It’s not for the Sailors who are higher in rank than us or lower in rank than us.
(c) As professional Sailors, it’s a call that every single one of us has the responsibility
to answer.
2. Module 1: INTEGRITY
a. Integrity means that our behaviors and our decisions align with our values as a
profession.
(2) To elevate our workplace and our Navy culture, every Sailor must set a positive
example for shipmates.

Value: Benefits, Brand and Reputation, Experience, Training, Resources, and
Relationships.

Topic Outline:
Introduction
1. The Navy is the most diversified branch of the military services. The possible opportunities
that we can offer interested prospects are almost endless. To organize these opportunities into
something that the Navy Recruiter can communicate to prospects, we have identified 6
categories of Navy Opportunity Value. Under each Opportunity category, specific
opportunities are listed to support the category.
a. Categories of Navy Opportunity Value. The definition of Navy Opportunity Value is how
the Navy works together with the prospect to equip and enable them to achieve their
plans and reach their potential. The purpose of identifying Navy Opportunity Value is to
collaborate with the prospect on how best to achieve their plans, reach their goals, and
meet their objectives.
(1) Training: Training = Value when the prospect believes they acquire skills in the
Navy that they need and do not have. The specific opportunities that apply to a
prospect who values training include but are not limited to the following: RTC,
OJT, “A” School, “C” School, NKO, BUDS and paid training.
(2) Resources: Resources = Value when the prospect believes the people, technology
and infrastructure of the Navy will help them meet their needs and pursue their
wants. The specific opportunities that apply to a prospect who values Resources
include but are not limited to the following: High Tech Equipment, Navy rank
structure, Navy chain of command, and self discipline.
(3) Experience. Experience = Value when the prospect believes they will grow and do
things in the Navy that would not otherwise be possible for them. The specific
opportunities that apply to a prospect who values experience include but are not
limited to the following: Worldwide travel, MWR, overseas duty stations,
adventure, Challenge Programs, physical fitness opportunities.
(4) Benefits: Benefits = Value when the prospect believes the benefits and services
offered by the Navy will provide them with the advantages both during and after
their service. The specific opportunities that apply to a prospect who values benefits
include all educational benefits, VA benefits, Tricare, etc…
(5) Relationships. Relationships = Value when the prospect believes they will be
enriched by developing new relationships while in the Navy. The specific
opportunities that apply to a prospect who values relationships include but are not
limited to friendships developed while in the Navy, networking, fraternities, CPOA,
etc…
(6) Brand and Reputation. Brand and Reputation = Value when the prospect believes in
the Navy’s core values of “Honor, Courage and Commitment” and wants to be a
part of the Navy’s rich tradition. The specific opportunities that apply to a prospect
who values Brand and Reputation include but are not limited to Uniform, Pride of
Belonging to something bigger than themselves, Navy heritage and rich history.
2. Navy Advantage. The Navy advantage describes the advantages of the Navy’s opportunities
compared with others the prospect may be considering. The purpose of explaining the Navy
advantage is to understand the Navy’s competitive advantages and then proactively position
our opportunities against others. The idea is to be able to directly tie an opportunity and
advantage to the life situation and problems the prospect is dealing with and answer the
question “What does that opportunity directly mean to me”.

Terminal Objective:
1.5.0 Apply the VALOR sales process by recalling each of the four phases.
Enabling Objectives:
1.5.2 ASSOCIATE three key words used to understand each sales phase (What, When &
How).
Topic Outline:
1. Introduction.
How has selling changed over the years? It has evolved from telling
and persuading to building authentic relationships and creating value.
Why? Because people have changed and how they buy has changed.
Today they are more informed than every because they can search the
internet for just about anything. They also expect quick responses,
and they thrive on connection and communication.

scripted!
c. Clearly state your name. ASK for their name and remember
to use it during the conversation!
f. If you truly believe you are going to help them, it will come
across.
(1) “May I take a few minutes of your time to ask you some
questions about your plans and share some high level
information with you?”
(2) “What I would like to do today is talk with you about your
plans for success and show you how the Navy can help
you achieve those plans.”
a. The intent here is to let the prospect know that the focus is not
the Navy, but on you getting to know him or her.
a. The intent here is to let the prospect know that the Recruiter
has a lot to offer them in terms of how to achieve their plans.
a. Placing all three parts together and using the three W’s during
a typical prospecting scenario (i.e., in high school, on the
street, over the phone) it would look like this:
(1) “What I would like to do today is talk with you about your
plans for success and show you how the Navy can help
you achieve those plans. That way, you’ll be aware of
options that you may never have considered before.”
a. The three W’s change when the prospect is coming to you and
walks into your recruiting station:
a. WHAT – reveal that the Navy is the best choice for the
prospect and answer the question “Why Navy?”
a. Being prepared for what the other services (i.e., Army Air
Force, Marine Corps) will say about life in the Navy is an
important piece of the sales process that cannot be
understated.
a. Being prepared for what local employers and colleges will say
about life in the Navy is also an important piece of the sales
process. There are many competitive advantages for
prospects to choose the Navy over college and local
employment after high school.

Enabling Objectives:
1.7.1 Describe the VALOR sales flow utilizing the Interview Overlay.
Topic Outline:
1. Introduction
The VALOR sales process is an effective way of handling prospects objections while
uncovering needs and wants, ultimately ending in solving their pressures and helping them
achieve their plans. In order to do this, the Recruiter must be accurate and effective at
completing each of the VALOR steps. Even for the most advanced Recruiter this can be a
challenging task to do from memory.
The VALOR Interview Overlay is meant to assist the Recruiter in documenting the sales
conversation, maximizing effectiveness in each step of the sale, and ensuring the Prospect’s
commitment to join the Navy.
a. The Interview Overlay is a tool that Recruiters can use to take notes and help them
structure a sales call.
b. An easy way to create an Interview Overlay is simply by taking a blank sheet of paper
and dividing it into four equal sections.
c. Label the top left section NOTES. Label the top right section PRESSURES & PLANS.
Label the bottom right section OPPORTUNITIES & ADVANTAGES. Finally, label the
bottom left section UNIQUE VALUE.
a. NOTES - Another term for this section can be “blueprinting information”. All of the
information a Recruiter solicits from the prospect that determines if they qualify for the
Navy, or not, will go into this section (i.e., mental, moral, and physical qualification
information). Additionally, hobbies, interests, and current circumstances will also be
placed in the NOTES section.
(1) A Recruiter’s use of discovery questions will uncover many PRESSURES & PLANS
if they are being effective. They should make every attempt at prioritizing the
Prospect’s PRESSURES & PLANS based on importance.
(2) Finally, the Recruiter must ask the Prospect “Why is it so important for them to fix
their PRESSURE?” and “How would it make them feel if they could fix their
PRESSURE?” This information helps the Recruiter during the UNIQUE
VALUE/PLAN FORWARD step and should be recorded in that section.
(a) “What is one thing you would like to change about your current situation?”
1. When a Recruiter effectively positions the specific ADVANTAGES of the Navy it shows
the Prospect what the Navy is capable of doing that no other alternative option can do.
This is where the Recruiter sets the Navy apart from everything else.
(2) If OPPORTUNITIES & ADVANTAGES are about what the Recruiter believes can help
the Prospect, then the UNIQUE VALUE is when the Prospect believes it themselves. This is
done by asking the Prospect why achieving their specific plans and relieving their specific
pressures are so important to them, and ultimately how would it make them feel to do that.
(3) Once the Recruiter has grasped this emotion from the Prospect they make the connection
to the Navy ADVANTAGES to show proof that they can make it happen. This is the
emotional realization moment.
(4) After using a closing statement to confirm the Prospect’s commitment the Recruiter must
PLAN FORWARD. This gives the Prospect a detailed path of what needs to happen before
joining the Navy.
(5) Examples of PLAN FORWARD steps include meeting with parents for parental consent,
collecting SSN Card/birth certificate/diploma, and scheduling the date for ASVAB and
physical.
5. Sales Recap
a. Effective sales interviews can take up to 30 minutes. Especially when the Recruiter is
“showing proof” as they sell by going through recruiting flyers, looking on the internet, or
handling numerous questions from the Prospect and their Influencers. Before confirming the
commitment to join the Navy, the Recruiter must recap the entire sale. This reminds the
Prospect of the state of mind they were in before they first sat down.
c. Example of recap statement: “When we first sat down you talked about THIS PRESSURE
in your life, and THIS PLAN you had to figure it out. I discussed THIS OPPORTUNITY
and THIS ADVANTAGE and how it was going to give you…Ultimately what we’re talking
about doing today is (answer the WHY IS IT IMPORTANT question & HOW WOULD IT
MAKE YOU FEEL question)

the Recruiter’s effectiveness.

(b) “My people join on Wednesday or Tuesday. Which day is better for you?”
a. Before moving from PRESSURES & PLANS the Recruiter must validate what they think
they heard the Prospect’s PRESSURES & PLANS are the best way to do this is to use
“SWIBITY” (So Would It Be Important For You). This closed-ended discovery question
confirms the Prospect’s information. Without this validation the Recruiter risks the
chance of selling the wrong Navy OPPORTUNITY and ADVANTAGE.

category, and documentation requirements per the CRUITMAN-ENL.
2.2.2.0 Explain the enlistment waiver process, waiver eligibility and approval authority for each
category of (BEERS), approval authority, and documentation requirements per the
CRUITMAN-ENL.
Enabling Objectives:
Topic Outline:
1. Introduction. The Classifier must review the Basic Enlistment Eligibility Requirements
(BEERS) discussed throughout this lesson topic when interviewing any applicant for
enlistment or affiliation processing, and are guided in determining an applicant’s eligibility
from information obtained from the interview, pre-screening, mental tests, and information
collected from the applicant. The interview is designed to reconfirm the applicant’s desire to
contract for naval service, involvement in any unusual circumstances, status (age,
dependency, prior service, education), and all other information required to make an
eligibility determination.
(1) The front matter contains the preface and table of contents. The Glossary contains
terms and abbreviations. Pages are numbered by volume, section, and page within
the respective section. Articles contain six digits that represent the chapter, section,
and article within the respective section. We will work extensively with chapter two.
d. A Myth Dispelled: Contrary to popular belief, our job as Classifiers/ Processors is not to
disqualify applicants so we can go home early. Our job is to ensure all applicants are
mentally, physically, and morally qualified to enlist in our Navy. To do this successfully,
we must maintain a Positive Approach to recruiting by looking for legal, appropriate
ways to qualify applicants. We Do Not use the manual to disqualify applicants; only to
verify qualification requirements and identify additional information necessary to effect a
DEP enlistment. Use Manual - Do Not Memorize It!!!
3. Basic Enlistment Eligibility Requirements Categories: Age, SSN, Dependency, Drug &
Alcohol Screening, Citizenship, Mental, Aptitude, Enlistment Name, Physical, Prior Service,
Education, Conduct. For some categories of BEERS there is a possible waiver. A waiver is
an exception to the rules that allows us to enlist applicants who do not meet certain BEERS
requirements. Approval is based on waiver guidelines and the whole person concept. There
are two levels of approval authority: local (NRD), national (CNRC) level. Some waivers
may be delegated to XO or OPS and signed “by dir”. As we discuss each BEERS category,
we will identify the purpose, criteria, documentation requirements, and waiver
considerations. Mandatory Rejections: Volume II (134)
a. Age Requirement. All applicants must meet the age standards per Recruiting Manual.
(1) Minimum age for non-prior service enlistment into an active component of the Navy
is 18. Maximum age to commence active duty is 34. There are no waivers to these
requirements. We may enlist 17 year-olds who have valid parental consent, have
been emancipated by court order, or are married CNRC 00J must review status of
emancipated minors.
(2) Prior service applicants must be able to complete 20 years of active duty service prior
to age 60.
(3) Prior to a physical examination for enlistment, 17-year old unmarried applicants must
obtain written consent from their parents or guardians. Under no circumstances
shall an unmarried 17-year old applicant take a physical examination or enlist into the
Navy without the proper parental or guardian consent (except emancipated minors).
The consent shall be given by:
(a) Both parents, if living
(c) The parent granted legal custody in a separation or divorce. Separation or divorce
papers are required if both parents don’t sign, in order to establish custody, or
(d) The custodial parent if one parent abandoned the family or is missing, or
(e) The legally appointed guardian if both parents are deceased or if parents were
legally separated/divorced and the custody of the applicant was awarded to a
person other than on of the parents.
(f) Ward of state. Applicants under custody of a state (i.e. surrogate, family courts)
need consent from a court official of that court or the director of the assigned
agency. Social workers do not meet this prerequisite.
(g) If an applicant is 17 years of age and has been legally emancipated from his/her
parents through court order, parental consent is not required. NAVCRUITCOM
(00J) must review court order documents prior to scheduling enlistment
processing.
(h) If one parent has deserted or disappeared, the custodial parent must complete a
NAVCRUIT Form 1133/97. Consent of the deserting parent is not required once
this form is properly executed. Service record entries are required and can be
found on pages 2-1-4.
(i) NRC Legal (00J) must approve single parent consent in cases where a
NAVCRUIT 1133/97 has not been properly executed, or when a non-biological
parent is consenting to enlistment (e.g. ward of the state, guardianship, adoption,
non-parent relative). NRC does not need to approve single parent consent where
a valid, official death certificate is presented.
(4) Source documents(138): Birth certificate, DD Form 372 issued by state vital
statistics office, DD form 214/215, DS form 1350, FS form 240, FS form 545, or un-

18th birthday, unless their 18th birthday will occur no later than 90 days from date of
shipping.
(2) U.S. Non-citizen national: A person who, though not a US citizen, owes permanent
allegiance to the United States. Persons born in American Samoa and the Swains
Islands are non-citizen nationals. Although lacking certain privileges of U. S.
citizenship such as voting and holding office in the U.S., they are in other respects
entitled to enjoy U.S. diplomatic protection abroad and free entry into the United
States under the same conditions as U. S. citizens.

(5) Non Immigrant Aliens (Compact of Free Association Countries): The United States
government established a Compact of Free Association with the government of the
Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, and Republic of Palau, which in
part, gives their citizens the right to freely enter into the United States for work and to
establish residency. Citizens from these countries are considered non-immigrant
aliens and are eligible for enlistment. USCIS Form I-551 is not required.
(6) Dual Citizenship: Applicants claiming dual citizenship in any other country are
eligible for enlistment, but shall not be classified into any rating/program requiring a
security clearance unless and until they renounce their non-U. S. Citizenship.

on their birth certificate are acceptable for enlistment or affiliation processing, but the
applicant must enlist with their Legal Name as shown on their birth certificate or DD
372.
(2) SSN cards that have the middle name(s) omitted, abbreviated (use of beginning letter
initial), or represented by a derivative of the name are also acceptable. If there is an

authorize their XO or EPO to grant by direction enlistment criteria waivers and
program eligibility determinations that are within the CO’s authority, with the
exception of those criteria or standards that cannot be delegated as stated in this
manual. Additionally CO’s may authorize their XO’s authority to grant CO level
waivers at any time. This authority must be detailed in a “by direction” letter
(1) U.S. Navy – Offenses committed and waived prior to the member’s initial Navy
enlistment do not require additional conduct waiver. Any offense committed
subsequent to the last period of honorable service does require a waiver. In such
cases all prior and current offenses shall be considered in determining whether the
individual is best qualified for waiver consideration. (page 238)
(2) Other Service – Offenses committed prior to, during or subsequent to any enlistment

Topic Outline:
1. Introduction
2. Safety while conducting Future Sailor physical training (PT) is the primary concern. All
Recruiting personnel will follow the NRC F&NG strictly. Do not assume more risk for
Future Sailor, yourself, or the Navy.
a. Aerobic (Cardiovascular)
(1) Aerobic activities, such as running and swimming, help the heart, lungs and blood
vessels become more effective at delivering to the muscles what they need to
function – oxygen and glucose.
(1) These activities include exercises such as pushups, curl-ups, or weight training.
Muscular strength and endurance activities help your muscles become stronger,
giving them both the raw strength and ability to work repeatedly without undue
fatigue.
c. Flexibility
(1) Flexibility or stretching exercises are necessary to prevent injury to the muscles and
joints, and to allow the muscles to work efficiently through a full range of motion.
4. The recommended exercise sequence below will improve performance and reduce the risk of
injury. As with any exercise program, there is always some risk of injury. Remember to pace
yourself, especially if you have not been regularly exercising. The sequence should be
conducted three to six days per week for best results.
b. Stretching. After your warm-up, you should always begin with a period of stretching.
Stretching makes the muscles, ligaments, and tendons more flexible and elastic-like.
Rather than tearing or breaking when under strain, a flexible muscle is more likely to
stretch and give. Flexibility prevents injuries, like back injuries and sprained ankles, and
helps you perform everyday tasks with greater ease. Page 6 of the NRC F&NG provides
various different stretches.
(2) Confined Space Exercise Routine. Ten listed exercises in the NRC Fitness and
Nutrition Guide. Routine can be conducted more than once during a Physical
Training Session. It is extremely important to know and understand the fitness
levels/abilities and continue to monitor your Future Sailors as you lead them through
Physical Training.
Bridge Pose
(1) Plank/Dolphin Plank Pose
(2) Lunge Shoulder Stretch
(3) Seated Lower Back Stretch
(4) Additional stretches from the Warm-up/Stretching portion of the Future Sailor PT
Guide.
5. Injury Prevention. The 5 primary injuries most commonly incurred by personnel during Navy
initial training schools include: ligament sprains, muscle strains, shin splints, stress fractures,
and runners knee (also known as Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome [ITBS] ). Approximately
20% of individuals participating in initial training will obtain these types of injuries, which
could affect their successful completion of initial training.
a. Sprains
(1) A sprain is a partial or complete tear of a ligament, the tissue that binds bones
together to form a joint. A sprain is most often a result of a sudden force, typically a
twisting motion that surrounding muscles are not strong enough to control. Both
ankles and knees are vulnerable to sprains during initial training.
b. Strains
(1) A muscle strain is a partial or complete tear of muscle fibers or a tendon and is
sometimes referred to as a muscle “pull”. There are many different causes, but it
most often results from a violent contraction of the muscle. A strain may be caused
by fatigue, overexertion, muscle imbalance or weakness, or electrolyte or water
imbalance. To prevent strains, complete a full-body warm-up before working out,
take precautions not to overdo, and work toward balancing the strength and flexibility
in opposing muscles.
c. Shin Splints
(1) A shin splint refers to any pain in the front of the lower leg (shin). Early signs are
acute burning pain or irritation in the lower third of the leg. This may progress to
slight swelling, redness, warmth, and inflammation. Shin splints may come early in
an exercise program and are particularly common in those who are out of shape,
overweight, or who have anatomical/mechanical problems.
d. Stress Fracture
(1) A stress fracture is a very small, microscopic break in a bone caused by overuse.
Unlike a broken bone, which occurs with a distinct traumatic event, a stress fracture is
the result of cumulative overload that occurs over many days or weeks. Doing too
much too soon is the major cause. Bone is living tissue that adjusts to exercise force
demands placed on it. As force is applied, bone will remodel itself to better handle
the force. If too much force is applied, the bone may fracture before it can
successfully remodel. Running extreme mileage, doing impact activities such as
running, wearing worn-out shoes, exercising on hard surfaces such as asphalt or
concrete, and having poor foot mechanics may cause a stress fracture.
6. Nutrition is vital in maintaining a healthy diet and providing your body with the proper
nutrients needed for a lifestyle which promotes fitness and overall health. Your body is like
a car. How well it performs is based on:
(1) Eat at least 3 meals per day. Add an additional 3 healthy snacks in between meals to
suppress hunger. Avoid missing any meals.
b. During the course of the day snacking on healthy foods can minimize the amount of
sugars and unhealthy preservatives. Some healthy alternatives include:
c. Effective weight loss and living a healthy lifestyle requires healthy food choices and regular
physical activity. Diets and starvation do not work in the long run, and should not be
attempted as a means of rapid weight loss! A food diary is one of the most effective tools for
making changes to the way that you eat. Include everything you eat and drink for multiple
days. Identify trends and set goals for you to make gradual improvements.
d. There is NO magic pill or fad diet that will help you achieve results. Following these simple
steps will help you achieve a higher level of fitness and health:
(5) Set realistic goals: No more than 1-2 pounds of weight loss per week.
7. Safety before, during, after conduct of Future Sailor PT. It is your responsibility to ensure
that physical activities are conducted in a safe and proper manner. The following conditions
MUST be met before conducting ANY Physical Training evolutions with Future Sailors or
Officer Candidates/Direct Accessions. The following list is not all inclusive. All
requirements are listed in the Navy Recruiter Guide for Physical Activity.
a. All Physical Training sessions will be monitored by at least one CPR qualified Recruiter
who has completed the online NKO CFL course and one dedicated safety observer.
b. Future Sailors and Officer Candidates/Direct Accessions will NOT be used as safety
observers.
d. All participants will have a valid MEPS (or other NRC authorized) physical examination
and have signed the Hold Harmless Agreement.
f. Verify the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature limitations only if conducting PT on a military
installation and follow flag conditions (Black Flag + NO PT OUTDOORS). Conduct PT
off military installations only under approved NRC guidelines.

(1) Initial Skill. Phase I training includes appropriate preliminary training (e.g., Electrical
Electronic Communications and Radar (EEC&R), submarine school, and the
respective Class “A” School training (which varies in length by rating). Members
must successfully complete Phase I training to remain eligible for AEF/ATF Program
continuation. The respective Class “A” School curricula are basic to the rating and
not specialized for these programs.
(2) Advanced. Phase II (advanced) training consists of at least Class “C” School for the
AEF-AECF, CTI, CTN, CTT, IT, IC, IS, MT, and STG ratings. All Class “A” School
graduates who maintain qualifications for the AEF/ATF Program are assigned to
advanced training.
4. Warrior Challenge Program. The Warrior Challenge program offers qualified applicants an
opportunity to serve in one of the following ratings or programs: Special Warfare Operator
(SO), Special Warfare Boat Operator (SB), Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), Navy
Diver (ND); Aircrew Rescue Swimmer (AIRR), or the Underwater Construction Team
(UCT) Construction Diver. The applicant will select one of the Warrior Challenge Program
ratings or programs based on his/her qualifications and interests.
(1) Gender. The SO and SB Options are open to male volunteers only. The EOD, ND,
UCT, and AIRR Options are open to both male and female volunteers.
(2) Age. Applicants requesting the SO option must be 28 years of age or less at time of
enlistment. Those requesting the EOD, ND, SB, or AIRR options must be 30 years of
age or less at time of enlistment. Applicants requesting the UCT option must be 27
years of age or less at time of enlistment.
(3) Character. Applicants must be security clearance eligible and possess the basic
integrity and loyalty necessary to be considered trustworthy for access to classified
information.
(5) Physical. Applicants must volunteer for diving duty for the SO, EOD, ND, and UCT
options. Must be made aware that their physical examination will be re-verified for
diving duty eligibility.
(6) Physical Fitness. Applicants must pass the Physical Screening Test (PST) prior to
being classified into SO, SB, EOD, ND, and UCT ratings or program. AIRR
program applicants must pass the PST within 90 days after DEP-in. Failure to pass
the AIRR PST within 90 days of DEP-in requires mandatory classification into
another rating/program for which qualified.
(7) Drug Usage. Due to the inherently hazardous nature of these programs, use of illegal
or controlled substances are grounds for disapproval.
b. Training Cycles.
(1) USN enlistment assigns recruits to SO, SB, EOD, and ND Class “A” Schools and
follow-on training. These personnel transfer from one phase of training to the next
without undue delay. Assignment to Class “A” Schools (BUD/S, BCT, EOD Prep,
and ND Prep courses) will normally be made immediately after completing Recruit
Training and required preparatory training courses. Follow-on training is contingent
upon the member successfully completing Class “A” School and will be determined
by community requirements.
(2) USN or USNR (FTS) enlistment will provide assignment to the Aviation Warfare
Systems Operator (AW) Class “A” School following completion of Rescue Swimmer
(RSS) and Naval Aircrew (NACCS) training. Trainees are normally assigned to
Class “A” School immediately after completion of RSS and NACCS. The normal
training cycle is:
c. Term of Enlistment. SO, SB, EOD, ND, and AIRR applicants enlist for four years and
concurrently execute two separate Agreement to Extend Enlistment (NAVPERS
1070/621 or NAVPERS 1070/622) for 12 months each. UCT applicants enlist in the
U.S. Navy for four years and execute an Agreement to Extend Enlistment (NAVPERS
1070/621) for 12 months.
d. Advancement. Applicants accepted for the SO, SB, EOD, ND, and AIRR Options shall
be enlisted in paygrade E1 with accelerated advancement to E2 upon successful
completion of Recruit Training. Accelerated advancement to E4 is authorized only after
the recruit completes BUD/S, EOD, BCT, ND, and RSS training.
5. Submarine Programs. Submarine Programs include AEF/MT, ATF/ITS, SECF, MMS, CSS,
LSS, and YNS. Applicants must exhibit the highest standards of personal conduct and
reliability involving the operation and maintenance of a nuclear powered submarine.
(1) Vision. With the exception of CSS, LSS, and YNS, applicants must have normal
color perception.
(4) Submarine Volunteer. Applicants must volunteer for duty in submarines by signing
the NAVPERS 1070/613 Volunteer for Submarine Duty

physical is acceptable for initial entry, however applicants must be advised that they
will be physically re-screened at RTC and Submarine School.
b. Rating Programs. Submarine applicants will enlist in the AEF/MT, or SECF programs,
or the MMS, YNS, CSS, LSS ratings.
c. Homeport Guarantee. CSS applicants are eligible for the Homeport Guarantee Program.
a. Qualifications. All applicants for the PACT Program must be BEERs qualified. The
following additional requirements also apply:
(1) Applicants enlisting in the Airman (A-PACT) apprenticeship must have normal color
perception, normal depth perception, and vision correctable to 20/20.
(2) Applicants enlisting in the Fireman (E-PACT) apprenticeship must have normal color
perception.
b. Term of Enlistment. All applicants are enlisted for four years active duty.
7. School Guarantee Program (SGP). The SGP guarantees formal training in a specific program
or rating. Several ratings consistently experience a supply of potential enlistees greater than
the Navy’s need. The active service requirements vary with the popularity of individual
ratings.
(2) Prior Service. NAVET applicants not eligible for reenlistment in their previous rating
must access via PRISE III. OSVET applicants with MOSs not directly convertible to
Navy rating are eligible for enlistment in the SGP program.
(4) Citizenship. Many ratings require U.S. citizenship. No waivers are authorized.
(5) Mental Aptitude. Applicants may be granted an ASVAB line score waiver in cases
where particular aptitude is shown for a rating and they are exceptional candidates.
Classifiers must use discretion in recommending waivers and waivers must only be
submitted when an applicant indicates a high degree of motivation and the test scores
reflect a lack of previous experience or exposure that can be overcome by instruction.
b. Term of Enlistment. Enlistment terms are for four years unless otherwise specified.
d. Security Screening.
(2) Interview. When interviewing CT, IS, IT, and PRP (MT) applicants, scrutinize
responses regarding financial responsibility, drug use history, and criminal record
since these past activities could be targeted for potential blackmail. Former members
of the Peace Corps are ineligible for the above ratings.
(a) A NAVCRUIT 1133/121 (Summary of Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting
Act and Credit Check Release Consent) is required for each applicant applying for
an INTEL rating.

Program personnel are authorized accelerated advancement to paygrade E4 upon
successful completion of FRS training, and award of the appropriate Aircrewman NEC
designation.
f. All applicants must read and sign NAVPERS 1070/613 Aircrewman Program Statement
of Understanding. Classifiers must sign as witness. This document must be filed in the
enlistment kit for forwarding to RTC upon the member’s shipping.
9. Full Time Support Program. Formerly known as the TAR Enlistment Program (TEP), this
program provides for a first enlistment in the Navy Reserve. Recruits are guaranteed Class
“A” School training followed by a continuous tour of active duty at a Navy Operational
Support Center (NOSC). Applicants enlisting in HM, YN, PS, or LS ratings may be assigned
to duty at either a Navy Air/Surface Activity or the Navy Reserve Force (NRF) (which
includes ships, squadrons, and maintenance facilities). Applicants enlisting in EM, HT,
AECF, or IC rating/program may be assigned to duty with a ship, squadron, or maintenance
facility. Applicants must be briefed concerning the above duty assignment before
enlistment.
a. Qualifications. Applicants must meet all enlistment eligibility requirements set forth in
Volume II and rating-specific requirements delineated in Volume IV of the
CRUITMAN-ENL.
(1) Education. HSDG (Tier I) applicants are preferred. HSG (Tier II) are eligible per

(3) Four years. AD, AM, AS, AV (AE or AT), AZ, DC, HT, IC, IT, MR, PR, PS, and
YN.
10. New Accession Training (NAT) Program. Formerly known as Non-Prior Service Basic
(NPSB), NAT is designed to reduce critical Selected Reserve (SELRES) manning shortfalls.
NAT-specific ratings are identified and regularly revised via current goaling directives. The
NAT Program allows for the accession of Non-Prior Service (NPS) personnel to complete
basic training, rating-specific Class “A” School, and affiliation as SELRES with the Navy
Operational Support Center (NOSC) closest to their permanent residence.
(1) Education. HSDG (Tier I) applicants are preferred. HSG (Tier II) are eligible per
criteria outlined in Volume IV of the CRUITMAN-ENL.
(2) Prior Service. This program is not authorized for prior service veterans or members
of any Reserve Component. The only exception is for applicants that have served in
the armed forces, but were released from such service before completing the basic
training requirements of the armed force of which the person was a member and their
service was characterized as either honorable or uncharacterized. These applicants
may be enlisted into the NAT program.
b. Term of Enlistment. Enlistment is for a total Military Service Obligation (MSO) of eight
years with six years in SELRES status, and the final two years in the Individual Ready
Reserve (IRR).
(1) Applicants must sign NAVCRUIT 1110/112 (New Accession Training Program
Statement of Understanding), NAVCRUIT 1133/52 New Accession Training Reserve
Program Enlistment Guarantees, and NAVRES 1570/2 (Satisfactory Participation
Requirements).
(2) Classifiers must use NAVCRUIT 1133/52 New Accession Training Reserve Program
Enlistment Guarantees and the appropriate incentive program written agreement to
outline NAT enlistment guarantees.
(3) Classifiers shall ensure that applicants understand the content of NAVCRUIT
1110/112, they are enlisting into a Navy Reserve (USNR) program, and they will
have a six-year SELRES drill obligation.
(4) Qualify for and enlist in one of the LRP qualifying ratings.
b. Qualifying Loans. Existing education loans must meet all of the following requirements
in order to qualify for repayment:
(1) Must have been made towards the education of the applicant.
(2) Must qualify under part B, D, or E of Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965.
Unless the recruit is listed as the student on Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students
(PLUS), this type of loan is ineligible.
(3) Must have been made after October 1, 1975 and before the applicant’s active duty
service date.
c. Application and Approval. The LRP application is complete when the applicant selects
the LRP option during the classification process, and provides all required items on the
LRP Checklist to the NRC LRP Coordinator for final approval and enrollment into LRP.
Applications are due within 60 days of DEP enlistment.
d. Benefits. The U.S. Navy will pay the lesser of the original loan amount or the unpaid
principle balance at the time of accession (not to exceed $65,000).
12. Enlistment Bonus Program. The purpose of the Enlistment Bonus (EB) is to channel
enlistments in ratings/programs with chronically inadequate volunteer levels, extend
enlistments beyond the four-year obligation, interest applicants that have postsecondary
education, and provide incentive for members to complete training pipelines having
historically high attrition rates.
b. Term of Enlistment. Applicants in the PACT program, NF, 5YO SECF, and other six
c. Administrative Procedures. Classifiers are required to have all applicants accepting EB,
EBCC, and/or EBLP read, sign and date a Statement of Understanding (NAVCRUIT
1133/102) and the NAVCRUIT 1133/52 applicable to the applicant’s particular
rating/program and incentive selection. The Statement of Understanding is necessary to
make the applicant and pay personnel aware of the method of payment. The NAVCRUIT
1133/52 and NAVPERS 1070/621 or NAVPERS 1070/622 are required to document,
among other things, the term of service and the maintenance and termination of the
bonus.
13. Advanced Paygrade Program. All Active Component (AC) and Reserve Component (RC)
non-prior service applicants are enlisted in paygrade E1 unless they qualify for enlistment in
paygrade E2 or E3 by meeting one of the advanced paygrade qualifications listed in this
Section. Enlistment in an advanced paygrade based on a combination of two or more of
the advanced paygrade qualifications is not authorized (e.g., combining college credits
with referrals, combining Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) participation with
referrals, combining Sea Cadet experience with vocational training). Retroactive
advancements are not authorized therefore, eligibility must be determined and all
necessary documents presented before enlistment. Requests for advancement after enlistment
cannot be approved by NAVCRUITCOM.
a. College Credits
(1) Criteria. Persons who have satisfactorily completed 24 semester hours or 36 quarter
hours of college credits may be enlisted in paygrade E2. Applicants who have
satisfactorily completed 48 semester hours or 72 quarter hours of college credits may

used to verify advanced paygrade eligibility providing there is no evidence of any
transcript tampering.
b. Navy Sea Cadet Corps. Applicants from the Navy Sea Cadet Corps may be enlisted in
paygrade E2 or E3 provided they present conclusive evidence that all the following
conditions have been met:
c. Junior ROTC Program. Applicants who are accepted for enlistment, and who provide
evidence of successful completion of two years of any Junior ROTC Program are entitled
to enlist in paygrade E2. Those applicants who have been awarded a certificate of
successful completion of three years of any Junior ROTC Program, under any military
department, are entitled to be enlisted in paygrade E3 upon presentation of the
completion certificate or high school transcripts showing successful completion.
14. Navy Music Program. The Navy Music Program provides for both DEP and immediate
enlistment/reenlistment of qualified applicants with guaranteed training for ultimate
assignment to official Navy Fleet Bands.

Terminal Objective:
Enabling Objectives:
1. Introduction. Certain conduct may preclude applicants from enlistment in certain ratings
and/or program the United States Navy. As a Classifier you need to know all the conduct
deficiencies, however it's important to note that conviction is not necessarily required. You
are also more interested in whether or not the person actually committed the offense, rather
than whether or not some court was lenient or generous in how they handled/prosecuted the
offense.
3. PED identification: Chart civil offenses (refer to appropriate matrix) (note: remember that
parking, warning and faulty equipment tickets only apply to Nuclear Field). Refer to
information sheet 10-1.
4. Nuclear Field Program. Send requests for eligibility waivers of Nuclear Field qualification
requirements to CNRC (N33) for review and referral to DCNO (N133D). Depending on the
seriousness of the qualification deviations, Type 1, Type 2 or Type 3 Nuclear Field eligibility
waivers will be required. All NF eligibility waivers will be entered onto the Nuclear Field
Eligibility Waiver (NFEW) electronic Excel spreadsheet obtained from CNRC (N33). The
NFEW will calculate line scores to assist in determining eligibility for the Nuclear Field.
a. After all information is entered into the NFEW, the form will indicate if the eligibility
waiver will be processed as a NF Type 1, Type 2, or Type 3 eligibility waiver.
(2) Type 1 (low risk) – CNRC – basic information faxed to CNRC N313
(3) Type 2 (medium risk) – OPNAV – all applicant information is faxed to CNRC N313;
may be forwarded to OPNAV N133D for adjudication.
(3) The type waiver required will be automatically displayed based on information that is
entered in the spreadsheet.
c. Pre-DEP Civil Offenses: All charges, regardless of disposition, must be considered for
the nuclear field program. The following civil offenses require NF program waivers:
(1) More than 5 Minor Traffic offenses in the last two years. For Nuclear Field, we DO
count Parking, Warning & Faulty Equipment Tickets.
(2) Any offense other than one of those listed on page 357. There may be only one count
of one offense. Any combination of listed charges, or any other Non-Traffic,
Misconduct, or Major Misconduct offense requires a program waiver.
(1) All in-DEP offenses, except minor traffic, require a program waiver. If additional
minor traffic offenses, combined with pre-DEP offenses, exceed five charges, submit
program waiver.
(1) Math Grades: See page 1-1-13. If a math waiver is required, submit waiver to CNRC
N333.
f. NAPT Retest: After applicant passes retest, submit waiver to CNRC N313.
g. Drugs:
(1) Marijuana:
Note: If applicant requires any other waivers, submit program waiver to DCNO
N133D.
(3) One Marijuana offense: May have one possession of marijuana offense. DCNO
N133D will consider the waiver request.
i. Prior Service: For the purposes of the Nuclear Field program, even one day of active
service is considered prior service. Submit Type 2 waiver request to DCNO N133D.
(3) If you do not find the specific rating listed, you will not need a drug or alcohol PED
for that rating
6. Warrior Challenge.
a. Civil Offenses: See Warrior Challenge civil program matrix on page 392
b. Drugs/Alcohol Use or Offenses: Determined by the PED matrix on page 224 (Vol 2)
7. Aircrew. Similar to warrior challenge. Verify civil matrix, drug and alcohol matrix on 224.
Also verify program matrix to specific qualifications and disqualifiers to include allergies,
motion sickness, etc.
8. Submarine Programs. Similar to the Nuclear Field, submarine programs also utilize an Excel
spreadsheet for waiver determinations. Utilize the Submarine Programs Eligiblity Waiver
(SPEW) spreadsheet.
b. Drugs/Alcohol Use or Offenses: Determined by the PED matrix on page 228 (Vol 2).
9. Other Programs/Ratings. If the applicant does not go into NF, AEF/ATF, Warrior Challenge,
or Submarine programs then:
c. Some ratings do not require any program waivers, such as: PS, MR, LS, EM, Seabees,
and others.

Terminal Objective:
3.3.0 Explain the programs in Pride and demonstrate how to use them to enlist applicants
into the Navy.
Enabling Objectives:
3.3.2 Utilize PRIDE and VALOR skills to enlist applicants into the Navy.
1. Introduction. PRIDE MOD is an information system for accounting & controlling Navy
school program accessions. Classifiers use the PRIDE MOD system to sell ratings and
programs as well as verify a prospect’s ASVAB scores, physical limitations, occupational
interest and ability to report for training.
2. History of PRIDE. PRIDE is a DOS based program created in the 1974 that has evolved
from a rotary phone based system to the WEB based program used today. In the beginning,
classifiers would call to make reservations with NRC. Later, a one-piece combination
monitor and keyboard was used which produced a “ticker” tape of jobs and active duty dates
available. It was slow, but its size and portability allowed classifier to take it on the road if
needed. Eventually with the advent of PCs, PRIDE users could directly into the PRIDE
mainframe in Mechanicsburg, PA and use the World Wide Web (or WWW) that have
connection speeds many times faster to access this information. In April 1, 2011, PRIDE
replaced the legacy PRIDE mainframe application deployed in 1974 and will improve
enlisted applicant accession procedures and processes.
3. PRIDE Overview. PRIDE Mod provides real-time access to data in MIRS (MEPCOM
Integrated Resource System), CeTARS and RIDE and provides data to NSIPS to start the
recruits personnel record. PRIDE Mod provides a single source of data entry beginning with
the recruiter's ability to project an applicant from R-TOOLS to PRIDE Mod. PRIDE Mod in
turn, passes and receives required data from MIRS/eSOA. These interfaces will eliminate a
recruits' data being entered in three separate, stove-piped applications
e. Prior Service
a. NETCON. The NETCON (New Enlistment Contracts) provides real-time data on the
total number of net active and reserve enlistment contracts written during a 13-month
period. The following will also apply:
(1) The user may request the report to begin with current month or the month prior.
b. Roll in’s. The process of changing a future Sailor’s scheduled ship date to an earlier date.
c. Kill/Fill. The process of cancelling a executed contract and immediately filling that
specific seat with a qualified replacement.
a. ARGOAL
(1) ACCESSION CONTROL GROUP. This report is used to access and update
information stored in the Region goal file.
(a) Contain goals and RTDs by NRD, Region, and NRC for different categories by
gender, and by month.
(b) Show the openings (not specific schools) for USN/USNR seats.
(c) Availability is determined by status codes set by the Region or NRC. The status
codes are as follows:
(d) You must know if you have an opening before you sell a job! This report is
interactive with the reservation system, and updates in real time. This is only one
of several programs that must align to successfully reserve, or “buy”, a job for
your applicant. Some of the most common categories are Male USN, Female
USN, Nuke Male, and Nuke Female, and are coded as (OTQ, OTW, NFQ, NFW,
etc.).
b. QUALIFICATION PHASES
(2) Awaiting QA
(4) In DEP
e. ACCESSION CODES
(1) DEP - Delayed Entry Program. DEP reservations are made for all non-prior service
applicants for whom a DEP contract is executed, regardless of when they are actually
shipped.
(2) DIR - Direct Ship. DIR reservations will be made for non-prior service applicants
who will begin active duty within 24 hours.
(3) DDD - Direct Deposit DEP. A DDD is a reservation with a signed contract that does
not count as a new contract until the applicant is converted to a DIR or DEP, typically
the first processing day of the following month.
(4) DEL - Delayed Entry. DEL reservations may be made only in cases where no
contract is executed but the applicant is fully qualified for enlistment in a specific
program (i.e., an applicant wants to discuss enlistment options with their parents).
DEL reservations will not be held in PRIDE for more than three calendar days or the
last day of the current month (normally mission day), whichever occurs first.
(5) DER - Delayed Entry Reserve Program. Reservations for all prior service and
Reserve Component members must be made via the DER program regardless of
whether an approved DD Form 368 is obtained. An approved DD Form 368 must be
obtained prior to shipping all reservists (all services), National Guard, or Air National
Guard members. Selected Reserve members enlisted via the DER option are required
to continue drilling with their respective units until they are accessed/gained. A DER
reservation is converted to DIR upon accession.
(6) Delayed Entry Full (DEF) Kit Waiver Program. The DEF Program allows provisional
DEP enlistment based on a NAVCRUITCOM (N32) determination while the full kit
is in process at NAVCRUITCOM. The NRD must reserve a ship date at least 45
days from the processing date and shall receive an approved NRC waiver prior to
shipping the member. Once the seat is reserved, it becomes a permanent part of the
system and can be accessed through a program called GETREC
a. NETREP: This report is a combination of all active duty Navy programs (including
active duty Navy Reserve programs). These add up to your Shipping Goal. Your
Shipping Goal changes every month according to DEP Slope Target (DST). Your
NETREP or Shipping Goal will be the net of what you started the month plus (or minus)
your DST for that month.
b. SOLD. The SOLD report is used to display all enlistment reservations made under a
particular Team Code. The program will display a one line listing of each un-confirmed
or un-cancelled enlistment reservation under the particular Team Code entered. This
report is one of several that will be run at the close of business each day to ensure each
new contract is listed
c. UNSOLD. The UNSOLD report is used to display all enlistment reservations that have
been cancelled under a specific Team Code and within a specific period of time. Unlike
the SOLD report, there are no restrictions on the length of the period specified by the
user. For each cancellation the report will display three lines of information. This report
is will be run along with the SOLD at the close of business each day to ensure each new
contract is listed. .
d. GETREC. The GETREC (Get Record) report provides a history of all reservations under
a particular SSN, including those that have been cancelled. It is used to display the
contents of a recruit’s enlistment reservation record. The records can be retrieved by
using SSN under which the reservation was made. Classifiers MUST put a copy in
applicant’s residual file. .
e. SHIPPING REPORT. The SHIPPING report is used to record in the reservation record
the date on which a new recruit actually ships to Recruit Training Center (RTC). The
report, when run, enters the current date in the recruit’s reservation record. For this
reason, the report must be run on the actual date the recruit ships. It also may be used to
confirm not only reservations made by the user, but also reservations made by other users
within the Navy Recruiting District, and by other NRDs (if the user is at the Region or
NRC level).
f. QUEST. The QUEST report provides a list of records for applicants in DEP, already
shipped, or discharged that fall within certain parameters. Originally designed for
investigative use by inspectors. Regions and NRDs should use this report for self-
assessment. What to look for:

Terminal Objective:
3.4.0 Identify, prepare and QC all forms required to enlist an applicant into the Delayed
Entry Program.
Enabling Objectives:
3.4.1 Identify forms required to enlist an applicant into the Delayed Entry Program
(DEP).
Topic Outline:
1. The Navy Delayed Entry Program (DEP) allows individuals toy enlist in a Reserve or
Inactive Component of Navy service, and specify a future reporting date for entry on active
duty in the Active Component that would coincide with availability of training spaces and
with personal plans such as high school graduation. As a Classifier you are the key to
facilitating the DEP Enlistment and will need to be thoroughly familiar with the process
including the required forms for a DEP Enlistment.
2. General Information: Delayed entry is the military status gained by an enlistment in which a
service member’s entry on active duty (ACDU) or initial active duty for training (IADT) is
postponed for up to 365 days (12 months) with the exception of juniors who will be mid-year
graduates. Classifiers must be mindful of this when interviewing the applicant.
3. NAVCRUIT 1133/52. After making a reservation in the PRIDE System, the classifier will
complete the NAVCRUIT 1133/52 - Enlistment Guarantee Annex to the enlistment contract.
It is the responsibility of the classifier, processor, and MLPO to ensure that the applicant is
fully aware of the understandings, guarantees, and choices on the annex which apply to
him/her. The classifier will ensure the following:
a. The classifier will enter either Reserve or Active for in paragraph 1 as appropriate.
b. The active duty obligation shall be determined by the incentives listed in Option 1
through Option 4, with the remaining months of the MSO served in the IRR.
c. In paragraph 1a, the classifier will enter the applicant’s primary guarantee in “Option
(1)”. In addition, if the applicant is enlisting as a “submarine volunteer”, the classifier
will enter “SUB VOL” by the guarantee shown in “Option (1)”. All other options
guaranteed will be listed in the remaining options (i.e., an applicant enlisting with an
enlistment bonus would require the classifier to enter the Enlistment Bonus Program in
“Option (2)”). The classifier will enter “NA” by those options that are not used.
d. The classifier will have the applicant initial paragraph 5 indicating acknowledgement of
the obligations and conditions of the option(s) guaranteed, and will ensure the applicant is
provided a copy of the applicable classifier rating/program fact sheet and a copy of the
applicable Statement of Understanding for the option(s) guaranteed.
e. Classifiers will ensure the annex has an accurate name, capitalization, punctuation, social
security number, dates, abbreviations, etc., so that it augments the DD Form 4.

5. DD FORM 1966. Upon completing the reservation and the annex, the classifier will ensure
that the following sections of the 1966 are completed 1966:
a. DD FORM 1966/1. The classifier will verify Item A, and all of Item 17 (except 17d-17e)
per the CRUITMAN-ENL Volume III.
b. DD FORM 1966/3.
(1) Item 32a. All specific options must be entered in Item 32a and be accepted by the
applicant and within the limits prescribed by current directives. The Classifier will
complete Item 32a at the time of DEP enlistment or direct accession enlistment, by
entering a brief description of the program and options that have been guaranteed on
the annex to DD Form 4. Item 32a may not be completed until the annexes have
been completed, and must be in complete agreement with the annex.
(3) Item 32c. The applicant must initial in the presence of the MLPO/EPDS who will
ensure that the applicant understands their enlistment options.

Additionally, the MLPO/EPDS, or a designated individual will sign as accepting the
applicant for enlistment.
6. MLPO Review. Upon completion of the classification process, the MLPO/EPDS will
conduct an interview with applicant and accept the individual for enlistment prior to being
contracted by the MEPS. The MLPO will review the kit and conduct the following:
c. Ensure that all enlistment waivers have been granted and documented
d. Ensure that all Program Eligibility Determinations have been conducted and documented

Topic Outline:
1. Introduction. DEP personnel may change enlistment programs provided the decision to do so
is mutually agreed upon to be in the best interests of the applicant and the Navy, and
provided the applicant is qualified for the desired program. Likewise, NRD Commanding
Officers may administratively separate (discharge) a member from DEP when it is
determined that it is in the best interests of the Navy and the DEP member.
2. General Reclassification Information. Enlistment program changes within the same Reserve
or Regular component accession path can be made with appropriate administrative
adjustments to the contract without administrative separation solely for the purpose of
changing programs. However, changes in enlistment programs between USN and USNR
component programs are made by an administrative separation followed by immediate
reenlistment in DEP for the new program.
a. DEP Action Request (DAR) Form. A DAR is normally initiated by the recruiter, and is
used to notify the chain of command of any changes in Future Sailors status, regardless of
how insignificant. Classifiers will only take action on requests for reclassification and
DEP discharge when the DAR has been approved by the chain of command. Upon
completing the requested action the classifier will ensure that a copy of the DAR is
maintained in the residual file.
3. Types of Reclassification.
a. Telephonic Reclassification. Telephonic reclassifications are authorized, however in-
person is the preferred method. When telephonic classification is warranted the
following will apply:
(1) The classifier will set-up the interview with recruiter.
(2) The recruiter will have the applicant at the Navy Recruiting Station to allow the
classifier at MEPS to interview with the applicant.
(3) After obtaining a new PRIDE reservation, a new annex will be prepared and sent to
the Navy Recruiting Station via encrypted email, the NRC SharePoint Portal, or the
Safe Access File Exchange (SAFE) web based application.
(4) The recruiter will have the applicant read and sign the new annex, and then
electronically transmit it to the classifier to be placed into the applicant’s service
record. Do not cancel original reservation without applicant’s acknowledgement and
consent, and ensure all newly signed annexes are received and correct prior to
canceling the old reservation.
(5) The applicant must then sign the new (original) annex on their ship date. Once the
applicant signs, the Navy classifier will replace the electronically transmitted copy
with the original in the applicant’s service record.
(6) The classifier will mark the old annex as follows:
(Date): Annex ( ) is superseded by Annex ( ).
__________________________
(Signature of Classifier)
(7) The MLPO must ensure that MIRS system and MEPSTRACK has been updated. If
the applicant has an USNR program, the MLPO must ensure that MEPS receives the
updated information to prepare an “amendment to reserve orders”. If the applicant
has an USN program, DD Form 4, page 3, block 20a, must be updated to reflect the
new annex.
b. Face To Face Reclassification. The recruiter will have the applicant at the Navy Liaison
Office to allow the classifier at to conduct an interview with an applicant in person. In
these cases the following will apply:
(1) The classifier will set-up the interview with recruiter.
(2) The recruiter will have the applicant at the Navy Liaison Office to allow the classifier
at MEPS to interview with the applicant in person.
(3) After obtaining a new PRIDE reservation, a new annex will be prepared and the
applicable sections of the DD Form 1966 is updated.
(4) The applicant will read and sign the new annex. Do not cancel original reservation
prior to the applicant’s acknowledgement and consent.
(5) The classifier will mark the old annex as follows:
(Date): Annex ( ) is superseded by Annex ( ).
__________________________
(Signature of Classifier)
(6) The MLPO must ensure that MIRS system and MEPSTRACK has been updated. If
the applicant has an USNR program, the MLPO must ensure that MEPS receives the
updated information to prepare an “amendment to Reserve orders”. If the applicant
has an USN program, DD Form 4, page 3, block 20a, must be updated to reflect the
new annex.
c. Changes Between USN and USNR Components (Component Change). These interviews
must be done face to face, and the following procedures are applicable for changing
enlistment programs between USN and USNR programs (i.e., crossover between USN
4/5/6YO to a USNR NAT/FTS or vice versa):
(1) Cancel the PRIDE reservation for the old program.
(2) Prepare a NAVPERS 1070/613 (Administrative Separation from Delayed Entry) and
forward/coordinate with MEPS to clear the member from MIRS and to offset
enlistments into the “new” Component.
(3) Build a new enlistment kit (forms and documents for the previous kit may be used).
(4) Make new PRIDE reservation, and prepare new annex.
(5) Reenlist the member in the “new” program with a new DD Form 4 and destroy the
old DD Form 4.
4. General DEP Discharge Information. Commanding Officers are authorized to
administratively separate (discharge) a member on inactive duty in DEP prior to the
commencement of ACDU or IADT. An administrative separation under this provision is an
uncharacterized Entry Level Separation (ELS). When processing a Future Sailor for DEP
discharge the following will apply:
a. Authority to Discharge. Only CO is authorized to administratively separate (discharge)
b. Reasons. Administrative discharge will occur when the member does not meet the
qualifications for enlistment as prescribed by COMNAVCRUITCOM; or, the member
undergoes a change in personal situation or attitude that justifies separation from
DEP/DET. Reasons for enlistment ineligibility include but are not limited to:
(1) Police involvement while in DEP resulting in confinement of more than 3 days,
supervised and/or conditional probation, or parole.
(2) Member no longer meets dependency criteria.
(3) Member no longer meets physical standards and an extension in DEP is not possible
due to having reached maximum DEP time limit or additional DEP time within
authorized limits is not considered appropriate.
(4) Member’s indebtedness is to a degree to be considered a financial risk.
(5) Individuals who, while in DEP, demonstrate an attitude or personal traits that would
indicate unacceptability for Naval Service (such as, apathy or hostility).
(6) An unfavorable ENTNAC or NACLC investigation or unfavorable Police Record
Check information after DEP enlistment. (Note: A written report to Defense Security
Service (DSS) is required.)
(7) A DEP member is no longer qualified an enlistment program and declines alternate
program for which qualified.
(8) A DEP member refuses to access onto active duty as scheduled.
(9) A DEP member’s whereabouts are unknown.
(10) A DEP member wants to pursue a four-year college education.
(11) Concealment of prior service.
(12) Personal hardship.
(13) Religious training or appointment as an ordained minister.
(14) Enlisted in another service.
(15) Recruiting error.
(16) Enlistment misunderstanding.
(17) Presence of HIV (AIDS) antibody in blood detected by MEPS physical.
(18) Parental consent is withdrawn for a 17-year-old DEP or DET member.
(19) Positive results on the MEPS Drug and Alcohol Test (DAT).
c. DEP Action Request Form. Once the recruiter has notified the LCPO, the LCPO has 48
hours to make contact with Future Sailor and attempt to re-motivate (free of coercion). If
unsuccessful a DAR must be submitted to the CO for approval of DEP discharge within a
maximum time period of 72 hours. Upon receiving the approved DAR the classifier will
conduct the following:
(1) Cancel the PRIDE reservation immediately
(2) File a copy of the completed DAR in the Future Sailor’s residual file
(3) Personally notify the member through the delivery of the NAVPERS 1070/613
(Administrative Separation from Delayed Entry) or send by first class mail. The
NAVPERS 1070/613 serves as a separation document, and will state “Not
recommended for reenlistment” unless separated for program change.
Note: A reasonable effort should be made to furnish a copy to the member through personal
contact by a representative of the command.
5. Record Disposition. Upon the DEP discharge of a member the following actions must be
taken:
a. The NAVPERS 1070/613 must be prepared. On NAVPERS 1070/613 Administrative
Remarks the following will be entered:
(1) The reason for separation
(2) That the individual is not recommended for reenlistment because of the reason for
discharge
(3) The length of time spent in DEP
(4) That the individual shall not reenlist without NAVCRUITDIST CO approval, (see
NAVPERS 1070/613 (Administrative Separation from Delayed Entry) for sample
NAVPERS 1070/613 entry).
b. DSS must be notified if discharged was for unfavorable ENTNAC
c. Notify Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) Liaison Petty Officer of
administrative separation date and reason for separation using the appropriate separation
code.
d. The original examination records - Report of Medical Examination (DD Form 2808),
Report of Medical History (DD Form 2807-1), and USMEPCOM Form 680-A-ADP are
to be returned to MEPS.
e. The complete residual file will be maintained for a period of two years.
6. Deceased Member Discharge Procedures. When a DEP member dies, the NRD CO must
send a personal casualty report (PCR) IAW MILPERSMAN 1770 – 030 to OPNAV N135C
with copies to NAVCRUITCOM (N32) and NAVCRUITREG. The following will also
apply::
a. The NRD commanding officer shall prepare and send a letter of condolence to the next of
kin of the deceased.
b. The MEPS senior classifier should be notified as soon as possible to cancel the PRIDE
reservation.
c. Persons who die while in DEP are not eligible for death entitlements.
d. Notify NAVCRUITREG and NAVCRUITCOM upon completion of PCR and letter of
condolence, via email.

Training Command.
Enabling Objectives:
3.6.3 Perform quality control checks on shipping forms per the CRUITMAN-ENL.
Topic Outline:
1. Introduction. All Future Sailors must be physically, mentally and morally qualified to enlist
in the Navy and must remain so prior to continuing on to recruit training. This lesson topic
will provide you with information on the various forms and documents required to process an
applicant from the Delayed Entry Program to accession onto active duty.
2. DEP-Out Briefing Prior To Shipping to RTC. This briefing shall be conducted by the
LPO/LCPO and Recruiter on the seven-day recertification and reiterated 24-hours prior to
ship date. In addition the Navy Liaison personnel will conduct a pre-ship interview and re-
certification process to ensure that the Future Sailor has maintained theirl enlistment and
program eligibility.
3. Pride Report. The Classifier will run a shipping report about 1 month prior to the shipping
month. This will:
c. Enable the navy liaison the ability to create an updated shipping list will be submitted to
DLCPO’s with pending actions (i.e., missing docs, etc) two weeks prior to the Future
Sailor’s ship date.
4. DD Form 1966. The DD Form 1966 standardizes the information collected, and the manner
in which it is recorded among the services. It is the basic source document for collecting and
documenting of information required to decide enlistment and program eligibility at each
stage of the enlistment process. Upon processing the Future Sailor for accession the
following information must be reviewed:
a. Items 18 & 19. Normally coded out by processing personnel or shipping clerk, and is to be
completed five working days prior to the member commencing USN or USNR. Item 18
is Accession Data section. Item 19 is Service Required Data, and is completed by
entering appropriate codes for various items of additional information required for Navy
accessions.
b. Items 34. Any changes made to DD Form 1966 or the EPSQ, after the applicant enlists in
DEP or DET are made in Section V using the following procedures.
(1) Write “See Section V” in the block that is being added to or changed.
(2) In Item 34b, enter the item number that is being changed.
(3) In Item 34c, enter the new information with date of change. Whenever changes are
required, enter only the corrected information in Item 34c, with the exception of
changes to Item 32a. Identify the question or item number in Item 34b. The items
that will most likely require updating include: dependency, enlistment options,
education, and enlistment paygrade. The following will apply:
i. When an applicant graduates from high school and enlists, update the
education level in Item 34c. Do not change Item 12.
ii. When an applicant changes an enlistment option in Item 32a and the
corresponding blocks in Items 17 and 18. (Note: Whenever changing
enlistment option entries in Section V, redo the entire entry.)
iv. If additional space is needed to list all changes, use Section VI, Remarks.
(4) Items 34d and 34e are completed and signed by the applicant and witnessed by the
MLPO. If no changes have occurred, enter “No Change” and then sign.
(1) Pay particular attention to reclassified applicants. Ensure entire guarantee change is
listed in Section V.
5. DD Form 4. The DD Form 4 documents enlistment and reenlistment in the Armed Forces.
Upon execution, the DD Form 4 is an official legal agreement between the U. S. Government
and enlisted member. The DD Form 4 clearly specifies the terms of the enlistment, to avoid
future misunderstandings. Upon preparing a member for out-processing Navy Liaison
personnel will double check the DD Form 4 to ensure that the correct information (i.e.,
annex, pay grade) is listed.
a. Should a new recruit, after the swearing in ceremony, divulge; or recruiting personnel
otherwise become aware of circumstances (i.e., legal, dependency, drugs) which render
the enlistment documents in error or incomplete, contact and make a report to the
Recruiting Quality Assurance Team (RQAT). The RQAT representative will notify the
Recruit Indoctrination Facility/RTC Legal of the full particulars to determine appropriate
actions.
b. Liaison personnel will place documentation of the report in the residual file of the
individual concerned.
c. If the RQAT representative cannot be contacted within 48 hours, a letter from the
NAVCRUITDIST CO, to the RTC Commanding Officer describing in detail the matter at
issue. Keep a copy of the transmittal in the residual file.

1. Introduction. As you enter Navy Recruiting now is a good time to rededicate yourself to the
ethical principles that guide our conduct daily, and foster a strong ethical culture throughout
the Navy. However, no organization, especially one as large and widespread as ours;
maintains excellence in ethics without constant vigilance, good training and education. The
Navy has a strong tradition that requires all of us to conduct ourselves in the highest ethical
manner, to be honest and truthful in our dealings with each other and with others outside of
the Navy.
2. Navy Core Values. Ethical behavior is rooted in the Department of the Navy Core Values.
As in our past, we are dedicated to the Core Values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment to
build the foundation of trust and leadership upon which our strength is based and victory is
achieved. Every member of the Naval Service - active, reserve, and civilian, must
understand and live by our Core Values. These principles on which the U.S. Navy was
founded continue to guide us today.
(2) Conduct myself in the highest ethical manner in relationships with seniors, peers and
subordinates.
(3) Be honest and truthful in my dealings within and outside the Department of the Navy.
(4) Make honest recommendations to my seniors and peers and seek honest
recommendations from junior personnel.
(6) Fulfill my legal and ethical responsibilities in my public and personal life.
b. Courage. Courage is the value that gives me the moral and mental strength to do what is
right, with confidence and resolution, even in the face of temptation or adversity. I will:
(2) Make decisions and act in the best interest of the Department of the Navy and the
nation, without regard to personal consequences.
(3) Overcome all challenges while adhering to the highest standards of personal conduct
and decency.
(4) Be loyal to my nation by ensuring the resources entrusted to me are used in an honest,
careful and efficient way.
c. Commitment. The day-to-day duty of every man and woman in the Department of the
Navy is to join together as a team to improve the quality of our work, our people and
ourselves. I will:
(3) Show respect toward all people without regard to race, religion or gender.
(5) Exhibit the highest degree of moral character, professional excellence, quality, and
competence in all that I do.
3. Fraternization. The Navy firmly prohibits fraternization. The Navy Recruiting Command
defines and prohibits fraternization between recruiting personnel and prospects, applicants, or
DEP personnel.
a. Prospect.
(1) Any person who has expressed to recruiting personnel an interest in enlisting or
receiving an appointment in the U.S. Navy or U. S. Naval Reserve.
(3) Individuals who may in the future possess the potential and qualifications for
enlistment or appointment.
b. Applicant.
(1) Any person who has commenced processing for enlistment or appointment in any of
the Armed Forces.
c. DEP Personnel.
(1) Any person who accesses into the Delayed Entry Program of any of the Armed
Forces.
(1) The responsibility for preventing inappropriate relationships must rest primarily upon
the senior. While the senior party is expected to control and preclude the
development of inappropriate relationships, it is applicable to both members and both
are accountable for their own conduct.
(a) Immediately report known violations to the appropriate level within the chain of
command.
(b) Expeditiously address and resolve alleged violations of the prohibited practices of
this instruction.
4. Sexual Harassment
(1) Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition
of a person’s job, pay or career;
(3) Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an
individuals performance or creates an intimidating hostile or offensive environment.
b. Policy
(2) Similarly, any service member or civilian employee who makes deliberate or repeated
unwelcome verbal comments, gestures, or physical contact of a sexual nature is also
engaging in sexual harassment.
