 The Chief of Naval Personnel, or C&P, recently answered questions from sailors about advancement. Vice Admiral Bill Moran told sailors on the Navy Live blog that commands will now be notified of advancement selections before the results are publicly released. C&P also said the Navy is reducing the reliance on the Professional Apprenticeship Career Track, or PACT, to quickly fill rated apprentice level mating gaps. He encouraged commands to continue the mentorship program, saying it would help set sailors' expectations and prepare sailors to achieve their goals.
