Rated Sea Time For Advancement in DC, EM, ET and MK Ratings
ALCOAST 072/23 announces rated sea time for advancement in DC, EM, ET and MK ratings.
Aug. 28, 2020
Sea Duty for Advancement - Not the Same as Sea Time for Points
The sea/surf duty time for advancement and points are both calculated​ based on Direct-Access data entry (e.g., PCS report / depart dates, Surfman competencies, and Career Sea Pay start / stop dates). However, different rules apply as to when the "clock stops" with regard to periods of TDY away from the CSP eligible vessel.
