  • Boatswain's Mate Rating Rating Roadmap
    BOATSWAIN’S MATE RATING (BM) RATING ROADMAP January 2012 CAREER ROADMAP Seaman Recruit to Master Chief Roadmaps The inforamational roadmap will assist sailors in the BM Community through the process of personal and professional development and advanced education using various military and civilian resources e.g. PQS program; SMART Transcript; NKO (E-Learning); Navy College; 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 BM? BM roadmaps are just what the name implies – a roadmap through the Enlisted Learning and Development Continuum from BM Seaman Recruit through BM Master Chief. The principal focus is to standardize a program Navy-wide by featuring the existing skills of a BM necessary to be successful in the Navy. The ultimate goal of a roadmap is to produce a functional and competent BM. 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 BM roadmap includes the four areas encompassed by the Continuum in Professional Military Education to include; Navy Professional Military Education, Joint Professional Education, Leadership and Advanced Education.
