CAREER DEVELOPMENT BOARDS
Career Development Boards (CDB) provide an excellent opportunity to mentor enlisted Sailors while also identifying personnel record discrepancies or items that hinder advancement.
These sessions also identify present and future career requirements from their Learning and Development Roadmap (LaDR) and Enlisted Learning and Development Continuum, and allow the Sailor to plan to accommodate those commitments.
This first CDB should also include the use of the Onboarding Career Development Board, 18 Month Plan, and 5 Year Career worksheets.

The following must be completed to obtain and maintain an active NMCI NIPR account:
•  NMCI USER AGREEMENT FORM OPNAV 5239/14 (System Authorization Access Request - SAAR)
•  Annual Cyber Awareness Training Certificate
•  Navy Annual Privacy Training Certificate
Once completed, the packet will be submitted for account generation. The SAAR is then kept on file for any future creations of accounts for the member. Additional requirements exist for those requiring access to the SIPR network.
SCHOOL REQUIREMENTS
Sailors have formal school requirements at different periods of their career. Some Sailors also have immediate school requirements as part of their accession program. Review the appropriate reference if you are a member of one of these accession programs:
• New Accession Training (NAT)
• Prior Service Reenlistment Eligibility-Reserve (PRISE-R)
• Direct Commission Officer (DCO)
SECURITY CLEARANCE
•  Security clearances require completion of an application. An update is required every five years for Top-Secret clearance and every 10 years for Secret clearance. This process is lengthy and should be initiated and completed as soon as possible in order to avoid delays and/or conflicts that could impact your assignment.
•  The NRC Security Manager or Assistant Security Manager initiates the security clearance process by authorizing an individual to complete an e-QIP (Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing). Once initiated, Sailors are directed to log in immediately to eQIP website. Start application with contact info and complete all aspects of the application within 30 days.
•  Once the e-QIP application is submitted, the application will be forwarded to CNRFC (via RCC SE) for eventual transfer to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Once OPM receives the application packet, the investigation is considered “open.” During the open investigation, OPM investigators will conduct interviews and background checks. Depending on the application, OPM may request additional information — such as financial records, tax records, etc. Failure to respond to OPM requests may result in denial or revocation of security clearances.
•  Failure to obtain a clearance: Denial or revocation of a security clearance, or failure to provide requested documentation necessary for investigation completion, will result in disciplinary action, ranging from non-compliance to Administrative Separation (ADSEP).
