Representatives from Navy Personnel Command's fleet engagement team (FET) will visit Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base Aug. 25 and 26 to discuss the latest personnel policies and initiatives impacting Sailors and their families.

"We want Sailors to be able to make the best career decisions, and these briefings are provided so they'll be able to do just that," said Capt. Bruce Deshotel, head enlisted community manager.

The team will discuss how changes to the Career Management System-Interactive Detailing (CMS-ID) and limited directed detailing are designed to ensure high-priority billets are manned and how they affect communities like those in the area. Leadership personnel in charge of manning will also be provided training on billet based distribution (BBD).

The BBD training will provide an overview of the new system which aligns Sailors to billet requirements. There will be an online demonstration and a discussion of actions commands must make before the system is implemented and the role of commands in the process. Executive officers, personnel officers, command master chiefs and command career counselors should attend this training.

"While the entire visit has many important career related topics which should be attended by all Sailors, we cannot stress enough the importance of attendance of the BBD portion of this visit by those charged with manning responsibilities," Deshotel said.
