PTS

As a sailor you need to be

completely familiar with the PTS
program. As a junior sailor PTS will
be required for your to reenlist. For
Senior personnel, you need to be
familiar so you can take care of
your sailors. PTS is a fast growing
program and may continue to ex-
pand.
Whether you want to stay
in or get out, don’t close the door
on the option of reenlisting. A PTS
reservation is not a commitment.

What is PTS?
Perform to Serve (PTS) is a long-term
force shaping tool that aids in leveling rating man-
ning between
overmanned and
undermanned
ratings, while
managing the
quality of re-
enlistment appli-
cants by controlling the authority in select ratings,
while other ratings are in critical need of quality
sailors. These conditions significantly affect career
progression, quality selection, and advancement
opportunities, all of which result in a negative im-
pact on mission readiness and Fleet capabilities.
Sailors covered by PTS must have an approved
PTS reservation prior to reenlisting, receiving a
Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) precert, or
negotiating orders.
