The Professional Military Knowledge (PMK) section of the Navy-Wide Advancement Exam (NWAE) will transition to a stand-alone, once-per pay grade, electronically-delivered eligibility exam starting in October 2018. Sailors will only have to pass that exam once per pay grade. The PMK information will be removed from the NWAE starting with the September 2019 Cycle 244 (E-4/5/6). This change enables Sailors preparing for the NWAE to concentrate exclusively on job-specific knowledge. PMK-EE will serve as an additional eligibility requirement for advancement to pay grades E-4/5/6/7. For more information, visit the Advancement and Promotion webpage on the My Navy Portal website.
