Sailors, how do you feel about the new FMS to be implemented on September 2014 Exam? Gone is time in rate points, good conduct points, PNA points for the top 75% that passed (it is now just the top 25%), one CAP session (no more Christmas party CAP presents), evals weighed more that test scores for E6... amongst other changes geared to reward hard charges. sound off!

It makes advancement a bit more fair if you ask me. Yes, you may have passed, but who doesn't now-a-days. If everyone got a PNA, what's the point? Award those who do well and just barely miss the cut off point. Just because you pass but are in the 5% percentile doesn't mean you deserve a PNA - if you get in the 95% percentile and don't pick up, you probably deserve a point towards the next exam. I was in the 88th percentile on a 50% pickup and still didn't make it - want to talk about salty!
