http://www.npc.navy.mil
Under careerinfo/payandbenefits/AIP
18

19. Enlisted Assignment System
AIP Process
 How is it done?
 Market-based approach; Sailors will “bid”
on an assignment—the lowest, most
qualified bidder gets the job.
 AIP jobs are identified on CMSID as of
June 03 with an AIP icon. From the icon,
there is a pull-down menu listing bid
selection choices. Highest bid is the Navy
maximum payment for that assignment.
 Career Counselors will submit the CMSID
requests as normal. In the event a CC is
not available, PERS 40DD can assist.
19

20. Enlisted Assignment System
AIP Eligibility
 USN only. No SELRES, IRR, or FTS at

assignment, i.e., NEC, pay grade, etc.

eligible for AIP, including A or C
School or RTC graduates.
 Must apply through CMSID.
 Must be in “For Duty” status (ACC

20

21. Enlisted Assignment System
AIP Documentation

bid?
 Sailor will have statement written in
orders:
“ Member is entitled to $ (AIP
amount) per month for the duration
of assignment to (ultimate duty
station).”
21

22. Enlisted Assignment System
AIP Documentation (cont.)
 What happens when I win the bid?
 Page 13 entry must be completed:
“I understand that this assignment entitles
me to AIP as stipulated in my original
orders. I further understand that this
entitlement is for the duration of the
assignment and AIP will stop when I am
permanently transferred from the
assignment regardless to whether the
original assignment is reduced.”
22

23. Enlisted Assignment System
AIP Review
 Remember, AIP:
 Starts when the Sailor reports
 Is still paid at the original rate if the
Sailor is diverted to a new AIP
assignment.
 Is paid at an amount less than the max
bid (normally around 70%) if a Sailor is
involuntarily assigned to an AIP
assignment.
 Is not paid to Sailors already serving in
an AIP location but receiving sea duty
credit.
