Career Roadmap
Seaman Recruit to Master Chief Roadmap
The educational roadmap below will assist Sailors in the Mineman 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 Mineman?
Mineman roadmaps are just what the name implies - a roadmap through the Enlisted Learning and
Development Continuum from Seaman 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 Mineman roadmap includes the four areas encompassed by the Continuum in Professional
Military Education to include; Navy Professional Military Education (NPME), Joint Professional Education
(JPME), Leadership and Advanced Education.
Some training and education is mandatory (Recruit Training, Mineman School at Ingleside, Texas, 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 OCNUS Education Office vast resources. All are uniquely qualified to help you along the way.

Notes:
1. A School required.

2. Tours at NPC and BUPERS require special screening.

3. Tour at BUPERS 3 as an Enlisted Community Manager or Enlisted Community Manager Technical Adviser
are for high-performing E8s or E9s. It is a highly competitive tour requiring thorough understanding of the
Rating and manning and manpower policies. ECMs handle multiple Ratings affecting thousands of Sailors,
adjudicate Career Waypoints applications, develop and present advancement quotas, school quotas,
accession and strength policies and initiatives for community health.

4. Tours at Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Mission Module Detachments require special screening and have
longer-than-normal training pipelines. Due to the unique and very specific billets LCS Sailors fill, they are
often limited by billet and unable to earn qualifications their counterparts in the MCM billets.

5. The MN rating comprises a broad spectrum of Mine Warfare commands and equipment. If a candidate's
record contains multiple or consecutive tours in a particular geographic location, it should not be viewed
negatively, provided the candidate has progressed in billet complexity, professional development, and
leadership responsibility. Likewise, those candidates who have demonstrated the ability to succeed in
challenging assignments in diverse geographic locations, particularly overseas, may be viewed positively.
Due to limited manning onboard most MCM platforms, any out-of-rate qualifications should also be seen
favorably

Considerations for advancement from E6 to E7

LCS qualifications are driven by the billet assigned and may not be available due to billeting constraints. Ideal
candidates should have completed a tour as a division or platoon LPO. Additional favorable qualifications include:
