1. Cadets must meet all the requirements listed in figure 3-1 for each advancement in rate (including the minimum time in rate) before advancement is made. In addition, the unit must adhere to the criteria listed in the Table of Cadet Petty Officer Allowances, Paragraph 0520.1 in the NSCC Regulations, for advancement to PO-2, PO-1 and CPO. Advancement is verified by the CO's signature and date of advancement on the cadet's NSC-19A form in the cadet service record.
2. Cadets must make a score of 3.2 or higher on each lesson of all correspondence courses. Cadets must make a score of 2.5 or higher on the military leadership advancement exams for PO3 through PO1(See paragraph C for procedures). Those exams may be obtained from the appropriate NSCC Field Representative.
3. Cadets must complete 10 days of advanced training (at least five of the 10 must be consecutive) for each advancement (E-3 to E-7). Recruiting duty as a TWT may only be used once for cadet advancement purposes.
4. E-2(T): Since many cadets may be recruited early in the school year and will not have the opportunity to go to NSCC Recruit Training (Boot Camp) until long after the minimum 3 months time in rate for E-2, Commanding Officers may advance cadets who complete the Basic Military Requirements (BMR) and have been enrolled for at least three months to E-2 (Temporary). Advancement to E-2 (T) is effected by a Page 19-B entry in the cadet service record and allowing the cadet to wear E-2 stripes (except while undergoing NSCC Recruit Training (Boot Camp)). NLCC cadets who transfer to the NSCC, shall be enrolled as E-2 (T) provided they have a minimum of one year in the NLCC, there is no break in service between the NLCC and NSCC, and they successfully completed an NLCC Orientation Camp scheduled by NHQ, and they have been promoted to at least Able Cadet (completed Part I and II of the NLCC Training Syllabus). The E-2 stripe is not to be worn during NSCC Recruit Training (Boot Camp).
NOTE: As a tool for motivation for former NLCC cadets and highly motivated NSCC cadets who complete the entire BMR prior to NSCC Boot Camp, Time In Rate for E-3 starts on the date a cadet is advanced to E-2(T).
5. CO's may not advance any cadet to "acting" or "T" temporary E-3 or above for completing part of the Figure 3-1 advancement criteria. |
