 Vice Admiral Bill Moran and Fleet Master Chief April Beldow answered questions from around the Navy during a live all hands call. The Meritorious Advancement Program was one of the many programs that were discussed. Commandering officers out there really paid attention to the intent of MAP as opposed to CAP, which is to pick your best sailors and advance them meritoriously. Don't wait for the advancement cycle or the test. If they're good enough in your eyes to be at the next pay grade and you've got an opportunity to advance them, use that opportunity then. Don't wait on the test. And what we saw from commanding officers out there was doing exactly that and then also turning back quotas to the Navy where they didn't have an opportunity, they didn't see a sailor in a pay grade that they wanted to advance meritoriously to the next pay grade.
