Navy Career Wise picked CDB as a special topic this month because it covers the entire career of a Sailor – a process that everyone in the Navy should have, at least three times in each tour whether it’s for PTS, Transitioning, Advancement and other scenarios when a Sailor has to make an important decision. Without a CDB, I could give you at least 5 of the many things that could happen: 1. Failure to reenlist on time because Sailor did not have the information on the requirements.2. Failure to correct records therefore failure to advance or get the other requirements on time.3. Fai lure to obtain benefits and entitlements because Sailor has been getting unsupported inf ormation.4. Fai lure to complete the mission because Sailor has been misinformed or did not have an opportunity to officially address important issues.5. Fai lure to document commitments and follow up because there is no accountability that only a CDB can do.This l ist could go on and on but a CDB can happen and it is just a matter of investing that 20-30 minutes of your time together as CCC, CMC, Mentor, Division Officer, including XO & LPO and talk about all the issues related to our Sailor’s career, family, benefits, and their goals. Navy Career Wise 51st Black edition has all the sources you need to make this happen. (NCC Astro, CVW-11 onboard USS Nimitz, 2010 August 7)Pages: CDB: 1–15. Puzzle: 2 -3.
