Detailing Process
CO/XO
JO
Placement
Officer
Detailer
• Detailer:
– Represents the needs of the
Officer, be your advocate
– Answer your questions,
eliminate misinformation
– Provide options and guidance
so that you can make an
educated decision
– Goal is to keep all Aviators
on track for O-5
• Placement:
Detailer vs Placement
What’s the difference?
– Represents the needs of the
command
– Goal is to keep the command
manned at the optimal level
Detailing Process

Ask questions so that you can make an educated decision
We will respond back to you, ideally in less than 1-2 weeks. Please be patient as some questions require

response.

May (September, October, November PRDs)
August (December, January, February PRDs)
November (March, April, May PRDs)
Work with your XO to submit a nomination package
Fill it out to the max extent practical
One chance to apply
BUPERS takes the input from your CO and the CO of
the gaining commands (FRS/WS/NSAWC/HSC-84/85)
and creates a slate based on those inputs and BUPERS
requirements
TPS
• 2 Selection boards/year (Feb and Aug)
• 5 Major Programs
– US Naval Test Pilot School (Patuxent River, MD Pilots & NFOs from
all communities – 2 classes/year)
– US Air Force Test Pilot School TACAIR only
– British Empire Test Pilot School RAF Boscombe Down, UK 1 “best
qualified” aviator/year
– French Test Pilot School 1 “best qualified” aviator every ~3 years French
language training provided prior to reporting
– Naval Postgraduate School (NPS)/USNTPS Cooperative no longer
an option
• Upon completion of TPS, expect a 24month tour at HX-21
TPS Considerations
• Quality time in Fleet squadron is critical
– Demonstrate sustained superior performance
– At least 1 competitive EP
– Earn all quals available (e.g., NATOPS Instructor, FCP, etc.)
• Strong technical undergraduate record helps
• Consider timing carefully
– Leave Fleet squadron NET EP FITREP & fully qualified
– Must have enough time to complete TPS and 24 month follow-on
project officer tour
• Be persistent
– Quotas, board membership, competition change from board to
board
– Failure to select does not necessarily mean not qualified

•
If you are interested, contact your detailer 9-12 months out, be prepared to
submit your college transcripts. Most schools require a 3.0 undergrad GPA.
We will provide you with all available schools that fit your PRD +/-3 months.
School openings are based on the rotation of the current aviator on board
that school.
We have an Aviation NROTC board 2-3 times a year depending on the
openings available.
The board is comprised of all the Aviation detailers and considers your
academic and military record, preferences, and PRD to develop a NROTC
slate.
Following the board, we will propose you to the school and they will review
your record; they may do a phone interview. Once we have positive
confirmation from the school, we will release your orders.

Selection Boards
• Statutory Boards
- Promotions to next rank
- Board members from every community
(Aviators, Surface, Sub, etc…All URL)
• Administrative Boards
- Selection process for career milestones
- Department Head, Command, Major Command
- Membership limited to specific communities
“Select the best and most fully qualified”
O-4 BOARD
• Annual board in April, results in July
– Zone reduction in FY13 = more competitive
– Board makeup
– Statutory board, no Detailer involvement
• Two opportunities (looks) for O-4
– 2 x FOS = forced separation NLT 7 months of
board results being released
• Arguably the biggest career hurdle now in

– Sustained superior performance
– Retention and competition = Quality DHs
• Every record receives equal consideration
OP-T Department Head

without opportunity to advance past LCDR in aviation

• Example OP-T DH billets: HTs/VTs/TACRONs
FITREP Writing
• A competitive # 1 EP FITREP is the best way for a Commanding
Officer to reward performance
– Larger summary groups and length increase strength
– Always rank top officers with either a hard or soft breakout in the
FITREP
• Make recommendations for future milestones
– DH, Command, etc
• Explain unusual circumstances in the FITREP
– Perceived decliner due to promotion
– Early roller for an aide billet, hard fill job, etc.
• Document all qualifications – “Christmas in Millington”
• Make the FITREP easy to read
