Senior Counselors,
Sending y'all a notification to help us in the actual conversion process for Sailors who are converting from EN to MM.
IAW NAVADMIN 382/12, Sailors selected for conversion need to go to their servicing PSD NLT 1 May, or through their Admin Dept NSIPS, and execute their conversion.
We are notifying commands every day of the disposition of their Sailors. All USS have been informed through their CCCs. We have a small number of non-mainstream, outlying commands that are more difficult to reach, thus harder to notify. If we need assistance in reaching them, we will let y'all know.
We will begin doing spot-checks of commands who have been notified as to whether or not they have complied with directed conversions. Please help us and help these Sailors and commands by getting them moving before we start spot-checking.
Finally, I will not be doing an entire DINQ list for all commands and their compliance. I will inform the Senior Counselors via this medium of any negative results of the spot-checks so y'all can help. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
v/r,
LCDR Jeff Seigler

RMKS/1. THIS NAVADMIN ANNOUNCES THE REALIGNMENT OF THE ENGINEMAN (EN) AND MACHINIST MATE (MM) RATINGS, AND DISESTABLISHMENT OF THE FULL TIME SUPPORT
(FTS) ENGINEMAN RATING. THIS REALIGNMENT APPLIES TO ACTIVE DUTY, FTS AND READY RESERVE SAILORS, AND IS BEING DONE TO IMPROVE DIESEL ENGINE PROFICIENCY.
THE NAVY HAS CHANGED EN AND MM OCCUPATIONAL STANDARDS TO FOCUS DIESEL PROPULSION EXPERTISE IN THE EN RATING; EN SAILORS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DIESEL OPERATION, REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE. TO CONFORM WITH THE NEW OCCUPATIONAL STANDARDS, A COMPLETE BILLET REVIEW TO RE-CODE EN AND MM BILLETS HAS BEEN CONDUCTED AND THE NEXT STEP IS TO REALIGN OUR WORKFORCE BASED ON
THESE NEW REQUIREMENTS TO CENTRALIZE DIESEL EXPERTISE IN THE EN RATING.
DURING THE BILLET REVIEW THE NUMBER OF FTS BILLETS REQUIRING EN RATED SAILORS SIGNIFICANTLY DECLINED, LEADING TO THE DECISION TO DISESTABLISH THE FTS EN RATING. SAILORS WITH DIESEL EXPERIENCE WILL REMAIN WITHIN THE EN RATING, OR MAY REQUEST CONVERSION FROM MM TO EN. SAILORS IN THE EN RATING WITHOUT DIESEL EXPERIENCE WILL CONVERT INTO THE MM RATING. FTS EN SAILORS HAVE MANY OPTIONS TO CONSIDER, BUT ARE HIGHLY ENCOURAGED TO REENLIST IN THE ACTIVE COMPONENT. COMMANDS ARE ADVISED TO CONDUCT CAREER DEVELOPMENT BOARDS WITH SAILORS AFFECTED BY THIS NAVADMIN IN ORDER TO FULLY REVIEW ALL CAREER OPTIONS.
2. EN/MM WORKFORCE REALIGNMENT. CURRENT EN RATED SAILORS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCE IN DIESEL PROPULSION, AS INDICATED BY PRIMARY NAVY ENLISTED CLASSIFICATION
(NEC) AND LAST BILLET FILLED, WILL REMAIN EN, AND THOSE WHO HAVE AN AUXILIARY BACKGROUND WILL BE CONVERTED TO MM. THE FOLLOWING NEC'S WILL REMAIN EN:
4302, 4303, 4304, 4305, 4306, 4308, 4310, 4314, 4324, 4333, 4334, 4340, 4342, 4343, 4346, 4366 AND 4370. HOWEVER, SOME EN RATED SAILORS WITH LIMITED DIESEL PROPULSION EXPERIENCE MAY REMAIN AN EN BASED ON CAREER PROGRESSION IN REGARDS TO PAYGRADE, SEA SHORE FLOW, AND COMMUNITY HEALTH. SAILORS CAN REQUEST TO CONVERT FROM EN TO MM. SAILORS IN THE MM RATING WILL NOT BE AFFECTED, UNLESS THEY DESIRE TO CONVERT TO EN. ENLISTED COMMUNITY MANAGERS (ECM) WILL MAKE FINAL APPROVAL AND DISPOSITION OF RATING CONVERSIONS TO SECURE OVERALL COMMUNITY HEALTH IN REGARD TO SAILOR DESIRE, CAREER PROGRESSION, SEA/SHORE FLOW AND BILLET DISTRIBUTION.
3. REALIGNMENT ACTIONS REQUIRED. ALL ACTIVE DUTY AND READY RESERVE EN AND MM SAILORS, EXCEPT THOSE WITH AN APPROVED FLEET RESERVE, RESERVE RETIREMENT, OR SEPARATION DATE WITHIN FISCAL YEAR 2013, WHO DESIRE CONVERSION ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A REQUEST TO PERS-321 (SURFACE ECM'S) NO LATER THAN 1 MARCH 2013.
SAILORS MAY ALSO REQUEST TO REMAIN IN THEIR CURRENT RATING. HOWEVER, ALL EN SAILORS INCLUDING THOSE WHO DO NOT DESIRE TO CONVERT, OR DO NOT SUBMIT A REQUEST, WILL BE REVIEWED FOR CONVERSION BASED ON THE NEEDS OF THE NAVY.
A. REQUEST SUBMISSION. COMMAND CAREER COUNSELORS (CCC'S) SHALL HAVE EACH AFFECTED EN AND MM COMPLETE A PERSONNEL ACTION REQUEST (NAVPERS 1306/7) STATING THEIR DESIRES. THE CCC WILL CONSOLIDATE EACH SAILOR'S DESIRE AND SUBMIT ONE REQUEST PER UNIT IDENTIFICATION CODE (UIC) THAT INCLUDES ALL EN AND MM RATED SAILORS IN THE UIC, USING THE PROCEDURES AND FORMAT PROVIDED ON THE SURFACE ECM
HOMEPAGE:
NPC/ENLISTED/COMMUNITY/SURFACE_ENGINEERING/PAGES/DEFAULT.ASPX. DO NOT USE SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS (SSN); SSN ARE NOT REQUIRED AND WILL NOT BE ASKED FOR ON THE FORMATTED FORM. RETAIN EACH PERSONNEL ACTION REQUEST (1306/7) ON FILE AT THE COMMAND LEVEL.
B. DISPOSITION OF CONVERSION. ECM'S WILL FORWARD OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION TO CCC'S VIA A DIGITALLY SIGNED EMAIL.
C. RATING CONVERSION PROCESS. SERVICING PERSONNEL SUPPORT DETACHMENTS
(PSD) SHALL CITE THE ECM DISPOSITION E-MAIL AS THE AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE THE CHANGE OF RATING LOCALLY VIA THE NAVY STANDARD INTEGRATED PERSONNEL SYSTEM
(NSIPS) USING THE RATE CHANGE AUTHORIZATION CODE OF '9' (OTHER RATE/RATING CHANGE).
4. FTS EN RATING DISESTABLISHMENT. THE DISESTABLISHMENT OF THE FTS ENGINEMEN SERVICE RATING WILL BE EFFECTIVE 1 OCTOBER 2013. THIS RATING DISESTABLISHMENT APPLIES TO FTS ONLY AND DOES NOT AFFECT ACTIVE DUTY OR READY RESERVE EN SAILORS. AN EXTENSIVE REVIEW OF ADVANCEMENT OPPORTUNITY, CAREER DIVERSITY, AND THE REDUCTION OF FTS EN BILLETS RESULTING FROM THE EN/MM RATING REALIGNMENT LED TO THE DECISION TO REMOVE THE EN RATING FROM THE FTS PROGRAM.
FLEET REQUIREMENTS FOR THE FTS EN RATING ARE NO LONGER SUSTAINABLE FOR HEALTHY CAREER PROGRESSION.
