Career Progression (future assignability)
Seek jobs with greater responsibility
Avoid rocks and shoals
Know Your Record!

27. Additional Thoughts ALL FIELD UNITS SHOULD HAVE A JO TRAINING PROGRAM!
Utilize OPM-4 during season, OPM-2 in the offseason
Command Concerns – VITAL AND EARLY
OERs
Action & result
Utilize COMDT guidance to boards & panels
Very specific recommendation block (cmd cadre, what type of unit, now or later?)

28. Additional Thoughts
Extra effort during early tours will lead to career success! Keep doors open!
Officers should know/expect staff-ops rotations
Grad School/Payback MUST come after an OPS/Specialty tour
Complete broadening OPS/specialty tour at each rank

29. Final Thoughts
JO’s need to do long-term career planning beginning at the O2/O3 level
“Jumping” into career paths requires flexibility but is still possible
The collective qualification level and proficiency of each community/specialty is on the rise
Exceptional performance is still the key to success
