Description
Summary:For Navy enlisted personnel, a rating is a career field that requires related aptitudes, knowledge, training, and skills. Ratings are the primary means of identifying billet requirements and personnel qualifications. Navy Enlisted Classification codes, or NECs, are codes for special knowledge and skills that identify personnel and requirements when the rating structure is insufficient by itself for manpower management purposes. One question of interest to Navy manpower managers is whether individuals use the skills they have acquired. This can be determined by examining duty assignments. Most individuals are assigned within their rating, but they are generally not required to use their NECs at any given time. Making use of an individual's NEC is only one of several policies affecting job assignment. Other policies include: minimizing the costs of a transfer, satisfying duty preferences, providing a variety of duty assignments over the person's career, and minimizing the time billets are unfilled. One goal of the Requirements for Individual Training Study is to examine how NECs are used and the constraints on NEC use. An earlier paper (2) presented various measures of NEC utilization at the aggregate level; future papers will provide measures of utilization at the NEC level, both cross-sectional and over time. This paper examines one of the major constraints on NEC utilization: the requirement for sea/shore rotation.
