Sixty-one <\/span>of them in the active component and 14 in the Navy Reserve\u2019s selected reserve and full-time support communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the command senior chief ranks, there were 107 total selectees from a field of 148 candidates, 102 active-duty sailors and\u00a0<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">got the nod to sit in the command seat while <\/span>four<span class=\"rte rte-comment\"> were selected<\/span> from the reserve. The list has only 106 names, however, because one sailor&#8217;s selection is on hold pending review, officials saidsay, but officials didn&#8217;t state the reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Navy\u2019s release didn\u2019t break down the eligible candidates by component, but the numbers show that the selection rate to CMC was 76.5 percent. To CSC, <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">but <\/span>the overall rate was 71.6 percent.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials say the high selection rate is a reflection of a very good command screening process and that all those in front of the board were highly competitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s board was the first to select sailors directly into the new command senior chief rating. Previously, from the time the first CSC board convened in 2006 until last year,\u00a0<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">since the first CSC board \u00a0was held in 2006 until last year, <\/span>all CSCs retained their source ratings while filling command billets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In July, after a three-year discussion, the Navy formally created the command senior chief rating and allowed any existing CSCs to convert into the CMDCS\u00a0rating if they requested it and got their CO&#8217;s approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of the Navy&#8217;s previously selected command senior chiefs have been allowed to convert into the CMDCS rating or return to their source rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This upcoming master chief selection board will consider advancement eligible command senior chiefs for command master chief for the first time<span class=\"rte rte-comment\"> for CMDCM for the first time as well<\/span>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of the new selectees must first complete 24 months of their current tour at their present command before being assigned a command billet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also must attend the Navy\u2019s Senior Enlisted Academy, if they\u2019ve not previously attended, and\u00a0<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">In addition, they must <\/span>complete the command master chief\/chief of the boat course in Newport, R.I., before reporting to their first CMC or CSC job.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Navy\u2019s new command master chiefs and command senior chiefs were announced today.
