 Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Ian Cotter. The Navy is looking for chiefs E7 through E9 as Fleet Subject Matter Experts or FSMEs for the Advancement Exam Readiness Review or AERR. The application to volunteer as an FSME must be endorsed by senior leadership prior to submission. Chiefs selected for the AERR are responsible for the content of E4 through E7 rating advancement exams and making sure that the latest publications are used. The AERR is held at the Navy Advancement Center in Pensacola, Florida and applications are open to chiefs on active duty, full-time support and reservists on active duty. Exam reviews occur about every two years, taking one to two weeks for each rating being reviewed.
