Advancements Seabee vs. Navy Average • Seabee advancements appear to be driven less by the shape of the billet pyramid than other ratings. For example: • Rating Ratio E7:E8 billets E8 Advance Opp. • BU 3.11 : 1 24.2% • CE 3.13 : 1 21.5% • SW 3.61 : 1 4.7% • EA 4.00 : 1 0.0% • E9 advancements appear to be driven less by the shape of the billet pyramid than by the number of vacancies each year.
Seabee LOS Diagram • Delta caused by: • FY03-FY05 underaccessions • excess EPA for CN (a E3 student-only EMC) • In the aggregate, Seabee LOS Inventory better than previously reviewed ratings. • No excess of LOS 18-20 inventory. • Modest number of E-6s approaching HYT.

Shore Billet Analysis Criteria • Sea Shore Rotation minimum requirements • 5 years sea/3 years shore, 4/3, 4/3, 3/3, 2/2 • Career Progression • Billet pyramid requirements • Billets necessary to develop military skills • IGCA Coding (Military Essential) – next slide • Flt Concentration Areas/Homebasing • Billet Titles • Billet Funding (OSD, Joint, NWCF) • 202 non-navy funded billets for Seabee Plus 72 facilities billets at Thurmont, MD 7.3% of shore billets Functional requirement for billets not questioned
Inherently Governmental-Commercial Activity (IG-CA) Coding • Eleven ratings completed: 3,435 enlisted billets, previously coded as “required” by N1, are no longer military essential Assigned by CNP / N1 Assigned by Claimant Military Essential A: Military Operations I: Military Augmentation (Backfill) Military Essential F: Military Unique Knowledge & Skills Exempt from Review D: Mobilization (Dual Status) G: Esprit de Corps & Military Support L: Law, Exec Order, Treaty M: DoD Management Decision Exempt from Review B: Military Support to Operations J: Military Rotation K: Military Career Progression Subject to Competition R: Subject to Review (CIVSUB/A-76 Competition/Elimination) Excess military billets should be phased-out , and recruiting/training/PCS dollars reinvested
Seabee FY08 Shore Billet CA Reason Codes • 49% of shore billets are coded for military requirements (A, B, F, etc.) or Career Progression (K) • 23% are coded for military rotation (J) • 7% are general purpose billets (FAC G/K) • 20% are candidates for review/civsub (R or E)
Minimum Shore Billet Requirements – BU only Total Potential Billet Candidates: 740 (shore billets) - 540 (min for SSR) 200(potential excess) BU needs more E5 shore billets than are available! FY08 Shore Billets: 740 Minimum Shore Billets Required to support SSR: 540
Seabee Rating Sea/Shore Billet Ratios vary widely • CM, EO, SW are sea intensive • No E5-E8 shore billets to spare • Even some E4 shore billets required for SSR • BU is more balanced • But has an excess of shore billets at E6-E8 • CE, EA, UT are shore intensive • Excess shore billets at E5-E7 (but not E8) • Compressed ratings: only CU has an excess of E9 shore billets (in theory)
Seabee Questionable CA Reason Codes • Claimant CA coding is generally consistent and reasonable • 7 “F” coded billets are questionable military unique skills • 6 facility maintenance billets at Bay St. Louis • 1 self-help billet at NAS Pax River • One RDC billet coded as “J” vice “F” • Five billets at 20th SRG coded as “B”, remainder as E/F/J/R • Billet coding for these billets will be reviewed in the FY05 IG&CA inventory Billet by billet review of CA Reason Codes is a benefit of each ECR
Final Proposed Seabee Shore Billet Coding 37 candidates for ‘R’ coding Represents 18% of Seabee shore billets and 6.4% of total Seabee sea and shore billets
Seabee FAC G Billets Required for Rotation 128 • Retain within current rating • Includes 20 E4-E5 9545 billets that will transfer to MA Available for transfer 44 • 36 E5-E6, 8 E7-E8 billets • RDC, Recruiter, Brig, CAAC, etc. Candidates for CA “R” 37 • 29 E4-E5, 8 E6-E7 billets • Hazmat, Self-Help, MWR, etc. • Most already coded as “R” • Can also be transferred to other Seabee Ratings Total209
Summary of Proposed Seabee IGCA J / R Coding • Shore Intensive Ratings: • CE: recode some E6/E7/E8 billets from ‘J’ to ‘R’ • EA: recode some E5/E6/E8 billets from ‘J’ to ‘R’ • UT: recode some E7/E8 billets from ‘J’ to ‘R’ • Sea Intensive Ratings: • CM: recode all E5/E6/E7 billets from ‘R’ to ‘J’ • EO: same • SW: same, plus E8 billets • Balanced Rating: • BU: recode some E5/E6/E7 billets from ‘R’ to ‘J’, but E8 billets from ‘J’ to ‘R’ These 3 ratings also need to retain a portion of E4 shore billets to support SSR

M600 Student EMC • The purpose of EMC M600 should be to account for undesignated Seabees in RTC or “A” School • However, billets in the M600 EMC do not fully account for “A” school students • Even worse, an improper EMC logic results in the EMF accounting for only a few Seabee students • As a result, latest ministats shows only 15 inventory in an EMC with 347 billets • Trainee Working Group is working to correct this issue.

E9 Sea Manning vs. E9 Sea/Shore Billet Ratio E9 Sea Manning There is an (imperfect) correlation between E9 sea manning and E9 sea/shore billet ratios CU E9 sea manning is well below the E9 manning trend line E9 SSR Source: Aug 05 Ministats
E9 Seabee Billet Review • CUCM is very shore intensive, while EQ, UC are not • However, 4 E8 billets feed into each CUCM billet, but only about 3 E8 billets feed into EQ/UC • Accordingly, recommend against transferring billets from CUCM to the other two ratings • E9 IA EPA matches 12 month execution avg. means no change required • Bottom line – no obvious billet adjustments to fix E9 sea manning
Summary of Active Duty Seabee Findings • Community is currently manned at 93% overall and 104% at sea. • E9 manned at 73% at sea and 122% ashore. • Ratings vary from sea intensive (CM, EO, SW) to shore intensive (CE, EA, UT). • FAC G billets can be reassigned within Seabee ratings to help balance sea shore billet ratio. • Relatively poor homebasing opportunity between sea and shore. • 78% of sea billets in Pt. Hueneme/Gulfport, but only 22% of shore billets • 474 shore billets identified as candidates for civilianization. • IA EPA severely out of balance, particularly for Students.
Seabee Paygrade StructuresSELRES FY05 Force Structure Billets Aug 05 Force Structure Inventory Total Billets - 10039 Total Inventory - 7731 Assigned to Billets: 7083 Assigned to IAP: 648 (8.4%) Current Manning: Total – 77.0% IA Billets - 0 IA Inventory – 0
Seabee SELRES Comments • 55% of Seabee force structure billets are SELRES • SELRES are assigned to twelve NMCBs, two Naval Const Regts, CBMUs, two Supply Support BNs, NAVSPECWAR OPSUP Tms, Naval Const Force Support Unit, PHIB CB, BMU, EODMU, 18 MIUWUs, etc. • BA will drop from 10039 in FY05 to 8718 in FY08 due to Reserve ZBR cuts • Chronic reserve Seabee vacancies drove the decision to cut billets to more executable levels
Seabee Recommendations • Review 437 in-rate and 37 FAC G billets as candidates for civilianization (mostly in CE, EA, UT ratings). • Transfer 44 FAC G billets to other Seabee ratings in need of shore billets. • Adjust Seabee IA billet allocation to reflect execution as part of a navywide IA billet review. • Correct M600 EMC billet/inventory allocation • Continue steps to improve E9 sea manning. • Change sea/shore tour lengths to 36/30 • Monitor affects of SDAP and AIP increases
Estimated Seabee Manpower Costs and Savings • The Seabee community is a ~$3.9B enterprise • Estimated grossMPN savings if 474 excess Seabee shore billets are civilianized: No FTS MPN Comp Rates EDW Net savings of $28.9M across the FYDP (assumes 20% savings (100% IA))
Seabee Skills Functional Review • HRCAT tool predicts that total costs for military are generally higher than GS, but less than contractors:
Proposed PR-07 Billet Changes Affecting Seabee Ratings • Added sea billets for MK V SOC Dets (4 billets), EODGRU Mobile Comm Dets (2), Inshore Boat Units (6), and SOC GMV Maint Personnel (37). • Added shore billets for NAS Keflavik (30) and NAVSUPPFAC Thurmont (7). • Reduced shore billets due to CNI and NETWARCOM cuts, recruiting and NETC cuts, and 1NCD reductions. • Net reduction in Seabee endstrength:
