Submarine Post Command/Major CommandPCC Detailing Background
PCC Priorities: There are many factors that go into post-Command detailing, but the general priorities and issues that appear below are taken into consideration by PERS-42B. The math is pretty clear cut. Waterfront support jobs comprise the largest percentage of assignments immediately following command. The majority of assignments will require a move.
Major Command Screening: Major command screening occurs each November. Unlike CO/XO/DH screening, MC screening is tied to your promotion timing vice your accession Year Group. As such, your first look for Major Command screening is the year in which you are selected for O-6 – regardless of when you are actually promoted. There are three looks for Major Command. Major Command assignments are not tied to when you screen. All officers who complete an at-sea Command tour will retain NOIP eligibility out to 30 YCS and CONSUBPAY out to 26 YCS.

Wardroom/CPO Planning Conferences (WPCs) PERS-42 offers sea and shore commands the Wardroom Planning Conference as a mechanism to discuss rotation dates, career intentions, and address any questions or concerns with the detailers. Recently, this mechanism has been expanded to cover senior enlisted leadership with PERS-403. To initiate a Wardroom/CPO Planning Conference, email the division officer sea detailer to coordinate the date/time for the conference. They will provide the current plan in the form of an Excel Manning File for review and preparation for the conference and coordinate with PERS-403. Commands are encouraged to provide feedback on the plan in advance of the conference to guide preparation efforts within PERS-42. The PERS-403 portion of the conference will take place immediately following the wardroom discussion.
Officer shore and sea slating is directly impacted by the PRDs and relief timing set by WPCs. Therefore WPCs should be conducted at least six months (earlier if possible), prior to the start of deployment preparation periods, and prior to events that have a major impact on personnel such as change of homeport moves, crew combinations or splits. Additionally, Executive Officers should engage PERS-42 freely between WPCs when modifications to the plan are required or desired. The right frequency and healthy engagement from the waterfront will ensure that detailer slating actions are conducted using the most accurate and up to date information. Preparing for Crew TransitionsRef: Change of Homeport (SUBPERSMAN Ch. 9) Ships should engage PERS-42 at least one year in advance of the scheduled change of homeport to schedule a wardroom planning conference. This will ensure proper coordination between PERS-42, Navy Personnel Command, TYCOM and the gaining and losing ISICs. This discussion should include PRDs and any required adjustments, change of homeport certificate eligibility, follow-on assignments, as applicable, for each officer, and pertinent dates. A change in homeport becomes official when the CNO Promulgation Message is transmitted. Planning for a change in homeport needs to occur well in advance to prepare the crew and their families. This message, which establishes the promulgation date of the change, is typically transmitted six months to one year prior to the effective date (the date when the boat is assigned to the new homeport). Once the promulgation message is received, prospective gains’ (inbound crewmembers) household goods will be moved or redirected to the new homeport. Current crewmembers will be offered a Change of Homeport Certificate, allowing for a PCS move. Those crewmembers whose PRDs or OBLISERVE are less than one year after the effective date or who are under PCS orders are not eligible for the certificate. The ship should also coordinate with Group/Squadron/NSSC to submit the crew stabilization letter when the promulgation message is transmitted. Navy Personnel Command will provide a response to the letter. This letter is the primary means to communicate to Navy Personnel Command on those personnel who will require change of homeport certificates. Careful consideration must be taken into account when deciding which crew members will receive homeport change certificates. The crew stabilization letter should be sent at least six months prior to the homeport change to allow sufficient time for processing and issuance of certificates. Deactivation (SUBPERSMAN Ch. 5) Experience with the deactivation process for SSNs indicates that a fully manned wardroom is not necessary throughout the entire deactivation period. After entering the shipyard, manning reductions will happen in two steps. First, four weeks into the deactivation, the wardroom will be reduced to a Commanding Officer, Executive Officer, Engineer, Supply Officer, four Ship’s Duty Officers, and four Engineering Duty Officers. Next, once defueling is complete, manning is reduced to the Commanding Officer, Executive Officer, Engineer, and six nuclear trained officers. After decommissioning, all billets are removed. The ship should schedule Wardroom Planning Conferences with PERS-42 a year in advance of deactivation to finalize the manning plan. In most cases, this will require PRD adjustments to meet the reduction requirements. In some cases, division officers and department heads will be required to perform a split tour to another boat to meet minimum tour length requirements.
SSBNs undergoing overhaul will receive an augment to the BLUE crew UIC of nominally 6 officers and 60 enlisted billets. Initially, this augment will be manned from the GOLD crew and will occur at least 60 days prior to commencing the overhaul. Throughout the overhaul, one CO, XO, ENG, NAV, WEPS and Supply Officer and at least 14 junior officers will man the wardroom. Fifteen months prior to completion, the submarine will submit a crew stabilization letter dividing up the total inventory of officers and enlisted into BLUE and GOLD crews to PERS-42, and additional officers will be assigned to man two complete wardrooms no later than six months prior to completion of the availability. For both crew combination and split, dialogue between crews and PERS-42 needs to occur well before combination/stabilization letters are submitted. Early communication ensures leadership can discuss options with the members and ensure that sound decisions are made regarding the crew. Wardroom planning conferences should serve as the primary communications tool. This can and should be supplemented with follow-up discussions with applicable detailers in the months leading up to the transition to ensure proper execution of proposed letters. Once plans are approved, changes can only be made via formal requests up the chain of command to PERS-42. For questions regarding change of homeport, deactivation and crew combinations /splits, please contact the department head sea detailer. Shore Commands
