DELETE SUMMARY This chapter provides a wealth of information useful to you in your continuing professional development. The Navy’s Enlisted Performance Evaluation System is a system that documents a Sailor’s qualifications, performance, conduct, and increased responsibilities. It is the Navy’s prime personnel management tool. Many incentive programs are available for Navy personnel. The purpose of incentive programs is to attract an individual to a rewarding, enjoyable Navy career. Other considerations that often persuade an individual to select a Navy career are job security, paid vacations, travel, family protection plans, retirement, and many other incentives. Often, a combination of these factors causes a person to choose a naval career. Education is a key to professional development and a better understanding of the world in which we live. The Navy gives Sailors the opportunity to meet their career and educational needs. Navy-sponsored programs, as well as civilian schools, are available to all Navy personnel. As a Navy member, you should take part in academic programs to increase your formal educational background and to further develop your potential for a rewarding career in the Navy. In this chapter we have also discussed a wide variety of programs designed to help you in making decisions that affect your career. The Navy has several programs that provide professional training and off-duty educational opportunities. As the Navy has long recognized, the more education you get, the more you will benefit your organization and the Navy. Many programs lead to a commission as a naval officer. Each year, hundreds of enlisted personnel receive a commission through one of these programs. They then continue to make significant contributions to the Navy’s mission as an officer. The Navy gives various types of discharges. Your eligibility for benefits and other programs after separation or retirement depends on the type of discharge you receive. An other than honorable discharge has certain negative social effects. The many helping resources and programs within the Navy’s organization can benefit everyone. Look into these programs. Ask questions and learn all you can about them. They can benefit you in many ways during your naval career. REVIEW 1 ANSWERS A1.
