By now most have heard about the changes the Navy is making to the ratings system.
Hope to be able to update everyone with the plan as it unfolds.....
I'll start with this image...kinda explains the plan but does not have implementation dates but does give a rough timeline.

On the surface, it appears to be a well-thought plan to identify common skill sets, areas of knowledge, and map both to what's needed throughout the fleet. Further mensuration with the demographics of potential recruits and competitive civilian employment opportunities and pay will help the Navy attract, train, and retain the skilled, competent sailors it needs to maintain an effective fighting force.
I know that sounds like an ad, but it's not. It's actually how analysts speak. :)
Yes, the graphic makes perfect sense.
Thank you so much...I've read the guide but just purchased Honor Courage & Commitment. Reading calms me so this will calm me and give me more info. Thank you again. I wouldn't miss PIR for all the stars in the sky!
Yes, you will probably get the letter soon. Remember the saying, no news is good news! This is a great place to ask questions, good luck to your SR and I hope you can make it to PIR when that time comes.
My son last called me on June 6th stating he arrived at boot camp and would write me in a week and could call in 3 weeks. Its been two weeks and I may be a little anxious but I haven't received a letter. I really just want to hear from him. I trust that he is ok (he hasn't been sent home) But a letter from him would most definitely ease my anxiety. Is this normal?
It was scrapped... https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2016/12/21/ratings-restore...
I think Trump nixed this and they are staying with what they have.
You are correct Sammy. After the rank and file voiced their opinion...the whole idea was sent to Davey Jones Locker!

I have heard that this idea has been scrapped. It was just a PC push from a liberal administration.
I think it boils down to tradition and pride. Most people naturally are leery of workplace changes.
I encourage concentrating on the positives. For example they say they are committed to providing training that will help in the sailor's transition to civilian life. And if you can improve your civilian employability through classes and cross training, I'm all for that!

My observation is that most vets lead the charge opposing it. I'm not a veteran but I defer to them in cases like this. Many comments it's about PC and throws away alot of history. I asked my sailor about it, she wasn't 100% sure but she did say it seems like just about everybody she works with dislikes the changes proposed.
