Who is the CTO?

• CCC submits PTS application with SELRES Option. – In rate – Willing to Convert with three conversion choices

• Command/Sailor receives a SELRES PTS quota or ECTP approval.

• CCC/Sailor contacts the CTO to begin the transition process.– Sailors are assigned a Transition Assistant (TA) based

on their current geographic region.

Challenges to the Process

• When PTS applications are not submitted timely or not at all.

Impact: No SELRES quota, or limits number of “looks” the sailor receives in PTS for a SELRES quota.

• When a Service member’s contact data is not current.

Impact: Seriously impacts our ability to initiate the transition when it is difficult or impossible to contact the member.

Reaching Sailors - Balanced Force

How Can The Fleet Help?

Command Career Counselors:

• Submit applications in Perform To Serve (PTS)/Fleet Rating Identification Engine System within 15 - 4 months of EAOS.

• Ensure contact information on service members is accurate.

• Notify the CTO immediately when the command has received the final ECTP approval message.
