Introducing “Sailor Apply” Capability to Commands
July 2009
Unclassified

2. “Train the Trainer”
“Sailor Apply” capability is brand new to the Fleet.
CCCs are responsible for training Sailors to use CMS/ID.
The following brief is designed to prepare Counselors to
complete the following:
– Inform command leadership regarding new CMS/ID functionality.
– Train the crew to use CMS/ID.
New functionality does NOT remove the CCC or Command Leadership

3. New and Improved CMS/ID Functionality
Sailors submit own job Applications
– Previously, CCC was required to submit applications on Sailor’s behalf.
– Sailors empowered to take greater control of their careers.
GSA Job display
– View and apply for Global War on Terror (GWOT) Support Assignment
(GSA).
NEC details

4. Sailor submits own Application “online”
Sailors access career information within the application.
– Reduces Sailor dependence upon the CCC for basic information.
– Reduces need to consult external references for job details.
CMS/ID returns valuable time to Counselors.
– Sailors do not waste time applying for jobs for which they are not
qualified.
– Senior Sailors can apply for jobs directly, rather than rely on the CCC.
– CoC and CCC can use TIME SAVINGS for Sailors who need or want
more help and attention.
• First Term Sailors
• Career Development Boards
• Personal Interviews
• Mentorship programs

5. CCC provides career information and guidance
Robust command involvement ensures
no Sailor enters the detailing process
without career counseling and
mentorship.
Monitoring Sailor applications ensures
command provides timely guidance and
support.
Using CMS/ID, the CCC should assess
each Sailor application to determine
whether:
– The Sailor requires command support to obtain a
desired job (e.g., additional training or qualification).
– Command action is required due to receipt of a
CMS/ID Flag (e.g., command screening).
– Additional career counseling is required regarding
suitability of application in terms of career
development or Navy policy.

6. CCC Best Practices
Use CMS/ID QuickStarts and tutorials
(available for Sailor, CCC and Command roles)
Post training/information documents in high traffic areas, on
command share drive, and on ship’s intranet.
Monitor Sailor applications and provide support when
command action is required.
Provide list of available jobs when Sailors are unable to access
CMS/ID.
Submit job applications when Sailors are unable to access
CMS/ID.

IMPORTANT: Command ranking indicates an applicant’s fit to your
command. It is NOT a comparison of one against another. (In other
words, you may rank all candidates 5 or 1, if you choose.)
Career Management System/Interactive Detailing (CMS-ID) 8

9. Command Role Best Practices
Designate the CCC, Personnel Officer, TRAINO, and Dept.
LCPOs as Command Representatives.
– Cmd Reps, along with CMC (and/or XO) meet monthly and work
collectively to review incoming Sailor applicants, then rank and
comment on applications.
– Departmental/divisional leaders meet monthly and work collectively to
review, rank and comment on applications.
– Command leadership involvement helps Detailers identify qualified
Sailors to support the command’s mission.
Alternately, designate all Officers and all CPOs.
View incoming applications and compare, rank, and comment
on applicants.
Provide Detailers with detailed comments regarding command
requirements, such as additional training the applicant should
receive en route.
