Sailors that were previously ineligible for advancement exams due to a Career Waypoint (CWAY) status of Denied Final Active (DFA) have been reinstated by a policy change from the Chief of Naval Personnel. Now, commands can order substitute Navy-Wide Advancement Exams (NWAE) for their Sailors in a CWAY-DFA status. Topics and bibliography references for the substitute exams are available on the Advancement and Promotion webpage on the My Navy Portal website. For more information, call the Navy Personnel Command Customer Service Center at 866-U-ASK-NPC.
