PERSONNEL ADVANCEMENT
REQUIREMENTS
The Personnel Advancement Requirements
(PARs) must be completed and signed off by
proper authority before you can participate in the
Navywide advancement exam. The PARs are used
to verify your ability to perform the tasks required
by your occupational standards (OCCSTDs). You
should approach your PARs in a systematic
manner because the Navywide advancement
exams are based on OCCSTDs. The sign-off sheet
varies with each rating. It is a list of rating
requirements (OCCSTDs) you must know in a
particular rating to advance in rate.
When your PARs have been satisfactorily
completed, you should make a copy of the PARS
sign-off sheet. The original should be given to the
educational services officer for entry into your
record.
PATHS TO A COMMISSION
The opportunity for receiving a commission
as an officer in the Navy has never been better
than it is today. Two of the most popular
programs leading to a commission, the Chief
Warrant Officer (CWO) Program and Limited
Duty Officer (LDO) Program, are discussed in the
following paragraphs. The Medical Service Corps,
the Enlisted Commissioning Program, and Officer
Candidate School will also be covered.
The Navy has realized a continuing need for
CWO to serve as officer technical specialists and
LDO to serve as officer technical managers.
