CAREER WAYPOINTS-ReenlistmentTake-Aways

Involvement is key Early is better Trust, but verify (CDBs, applications, etc)

Know the system, know what can be influenced and what can’t be EVALs

Be honest—inflated evals could hurt a better Sailor Know when someone is approaching CAREER WAYPOINTS

Use other programs to address misbehavior/ substandard performance Consider conversion options

Prepare for conversion well before CAREER WAYPOINTS windowQuota expirations (13 months or change to SEAOS or Current

Enlistment Date (CED)) If separating, consider SELRES affiliation (future RC>AC opportunity) Use command level CAREER WAYPOINTS-Reenlistment reports
