. JASS streamlines detailing process by AKAN Erik Vadnais, BUPERS

Washington (NNS) -- The Bureau of Naval Personnel is developing an officer and enlisted assignment process to improve customer support and streamline personnel distribution.

The Job Advertising and Selection System (JASS) advertises rating vacancies and helps individual Sailors apply for available jobs. Detailers will then process job applications according to best match. The enlisted requisitions for each rating will be updated every two weeks.

JASS will be implemented for the personnelman (PN) rating this summer. This test version will allow PNs at Naval Base Norfolk and Naval Station San Diego to use the system on a trial basis. During the testing period, PNs will be able to view available billets and process mock applications. They will not be able to request actual orders during this testing period.

Further testing will include a sea-duty-intensive enlisted community as well as a select group of officers before fleet-wide implementation.

Initially, the new system will be accessible to command representatives who have an account on BUPERS Access. In the future, it will be accessible via the INTERNET and the World Wide Web. More information is available from the project manager, Mr. Ron Rouse, at (703) 614-8314 or DSN 224-8314.
