CAREER ROADMAP

Seaman Recruit to Master Chief Roadmap

The educational roadmap below will assist Sailors in the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician community through the
process of pursuing professional development and advanced education using various military and civilian resources e.g. PQS
program; JST Joint Service Transcript; E-Learning; Navy College Network; etc. Successful leadership is the key to military
readiness and will always require a high degree of technical skill, professional knowledge, and intellectual development.

What is a Career Roadmap for Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician?

Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician roadmaps are just what the name implies - a roadmap through the Enlisted Learning
and Development Continuum from Seaman Recruit through Master Chief. The principal focus is to standardize a program Navy
wide by featuring the existing skills necessary to be successful in the Navy. The ultimate goal of a roadmap is to produce a
functional and competent Sailor.

What is the Enlisted Learning and Development Continuum?

Enlisted Learning and Development Continuum is the formal title given to the curriculum and process building on the foundation
of Sailorization beginning in our Delayed Entry Program through Recruit Training Command and throughout your entire career.
The continuum combines skill training, professional education, well-rounded assignments, and voluntary education. As you
progress through your career, early-on skill training diminishes while professional military education gradually increases.
Experience is the ever-present constant determining the rate at which a Sailor trades skill training for professional development.

Do Sailors have to follow the Roadmap?

Yes. The Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician roadmap includes the four areas encompassed by the Continuum in
Professional Military Education to include; Navy Professional Military Education (NPME), Joint Professional Military Education
(JPME), Leadership and Advanced Education.
Some training and education is mandatory (Recruit Training, EOD Preparatory course at Great Lakes, Illinois, EOD Phase I at
Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center at Panama City, Florida and EOD Phase II and Phase III at Eglin Air Force Base,
followed by Basic Airborne at Fort Benning, GA, Expeditionary Combat Skills (ECS) at Gulfport, MS and EOD Tactical Training
at EOD Training and Evaluation Unit One San Diego, CA, E-Learning, etc.). Some may be directed by your chain of command
(Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint courses), and the remainder is voluntary (MNP, E-Learning, college courses, etc.). Sailors are
advised to seek out mentors, including your Command Master Chief, Senior Enlisted Advisor, Leading Chief Petty Officer,
Leading Petty Officer and Command Career Counselor, and to make use of your Navy College Virtual Education Center (VEC)
or OCONUS Education Office's vast resources. All are uniquely qualified to help you along the way.

uploading personal information.

The following areas are available for exploration:

Credentials - explore pathways related to a specific credential such as a degree, a certification, a USMAP apprenticeship
or a federal license.
Career Goals - explore pathways based on career goals through job family, industry and more.
Military Occupation - explore pathways by MOC to view ‘best-fit’ pathways based your military occupation. Pathways

Nearly 200 years ago, the Navy ordered its ships be outfitted with a reading list of 37 books in order to help train and educate
Sailors. The Navy’s leaders knew then what is still the case today: to outthink our competitors we must study and apply lessons
we’ve learned from our past. Furthermore, it is critically important for our Navy to be a learning organization. And one of the very
best ways to do that is to foster an environment where every Sailor deepens their level of understanding and learning.

That is why we launched an updated Chief of Naval Operations Professional Reading Program (CNO-PRP) reading list, with a
motto of “Read Well to Lead Well.”

ALL PAYGRADES
VOLUNTARY EDUCATION

Note: Prior to considering any pursuit of off duty education or program enrollment contact the Navy College Virtual
Education Center (NCVEC) or visit your Overseas Navy College Office.

You must complete the Tuition Assistance Training before your first course will be approved.

Complete the online courses at the Navy College Website: http://www.navycollege.navy.mil/

How do I get started?

You already have. All your training up to this point is part of your Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician Roadmap. Now
that you have made the first steps you will need to sit down and formulate a plan. This plan will work best if you start out
discussing your options with your Leading Chief Petty Officer, Leading Petty Officer, Mentor, or Career Counselor. They will help
you understand all of the basics. Then your next step is to contact the Navy College Virtual Education Center or visit your
Overseas Navy College Office. Then your counselors will be able to help you formalize your plan and make sure that it makes
sense for both you and the Navy. To aid you in your conversation with these professionals, here are a few questions that you may
want to ask.

What credits do you have? What non-college courses have you taken? Where do you want to go? What field of study, or what
kind of degree? What program will help me get there: Traditional or Online? What are my next steps: Transfer credits, take
exams, have experience evaluated, or sign up for new courses?

GENERAL INFORMATION ON VOLUNTARY EDUCATION

The Navy College Program & Web Page:

The Navy College Program (NCP) provides opportunities to Sailors to earn college degrees by providing academic credit for
Navy training, work experience, and off-duty education. The NCP mission is to enable Sailors to obtain a college degree while
on active duty. In support of the four R's - Recruiting, Readiness, Retention, and Respect - the NCP signifies Navy's commitment
to education by improving enlistment appeal; demonstrating Navy service and achieving a college degree are compatible;
helping Sailors apply themselves to new situations and challenges and better preparing them for advancement; building up
Sailors' self-image; and producing higher quality Sailors.
More information is available online at: https://www.navycollege.navy.mil

Tuition Assistance (TA):

NAVADMIN 114/19 limit changes as of 1 October 2019: TA provides funds for eligible active-duty personnel to attend approved
educational institutions on an off-duty basis to earn a high school diploma, vocational/technical certificate, or college degree. TA
pays for tuition. TA will pay for the following amount per career: 120 semester hours, or 180-quarter hours or 1800 clock hours or
a combination of semester, quarter and clock hours. TA will pay the following amounts per fiscal year: 12 semester hours, not to
exceed $250/credit for semester hours or 18-quarter hours not-to-exceed $166.67/credit for quarter hours or, 180 clock hours
not-to-exceed $16.67/clock hours or a combination of semester, quarter and clock hours.

More information is available online at: https://www.navycollege.navy.mil

Joint Service Transcripts (JST)

JSTs are official military transcripts which are used by colleges to validate your actual credited training. Every Sailor has a
transcript already and access to it is free.
More information is available online at: https://jst.doded.mil/

The American Council on Education (ACE)

ACE has reviewed every course listed in the OCCUPATIONAL Roadmap and determined what type of collegiate level credit is
recommended. The ACE identifier, listed with each course, is a source to validate the information and to check for changes as
they occur.
Updates can be found at http://www.acenet.edu/news-room/Pages/Military-Guide-Online.aspx.

Vocational Certificates
Vocational Certificates are available from most community colleges. Most of your military training can be counted toward their
degree programs, but they will still require residency credits and approximately 40-75 credit hours. These certificates can be as
valuable as the apprenticeship program in the civilian work force.

College credits by Testing CLEP, DSST

Testing can replace the requirement to attend most of the college courses listed in the Occupational Roadmap. Base Education
Centers offer CLEP and DSST exams for active duty military at no cost. They also offer a comprehensive list of "credit-by-exam"
tests. Additionally, many of the tests have study guides available. These tests are available at the base education center or
through the base library system. For specific testing locations visit the DANTES website.

DANTES: http://www.dantes.doded.mil/examinations/earn-college-credit/earn-college-credit.html

College Entrance Exams Testing ACT, SAT

The ACT and SAT are both standardized tests that help colleges evaluate candidates. Many colleges require that students
submit test results as part of the admission application process. Since Sailors are considered transfer students, these tests are
not generally required for admission. However, some Sailors must take the tests to enter specific military programs.
