This NAVADMIN announces the establishment of the Interior Communications Electrician Master Chief (ICCM) rate and the redesignation of Interior Communications Electrician (IC) E-3 and below Sailors in the Seaman apprenticeship. The Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) has approved both of these initiatives which apply to active-duty and selected reserve Sailors in the IC rating. Effective date of all changes will be 1 March 2014. E-3 and below designated in the rating or in the IC apprenticeship shall convert uniform insignia NLT 1 May 2014. 2. Establishing a career path for the IC rating at the E-9 level completes the ratings shift from the Center for Naval Engineering (CNE) to the Center for Surface Combat Systems (CSCS) and aligns the IC rating with combat systems ratings. Senior Chief Petty Officers in the Interior Communications Electrician rating (ICCSs) will no longer compete with Senior Chief Electricians Mate (EMCSs) for advancement to E-9. Anticipated benefits are career progression through E-9 maintained within parent rating and solidification of the ratings linkage to CSCS vice CNE. This action further recognizes the differences in rating occupational standards and watch qualifications between Combat Systems and Engineering. 3. The first ICCMs will be selected from selection board eligible ICCSs by the FY-15 active-duty and reserve E-9 selection boards. 4. The seaman rating insignia is prescribed for IC E-1 to E-3 personnel. ICs in pay grades E-1 to E-3 may continue to wear the fireman insignia until advanced. However, all IC E-1 to E-3 personnel shall convert uniform insignia NLT 1 May 2014. 5. To enable a smooth transition and eliminate a cost burden to affected Sailors, effective immediately, new accessions into the IC rating will wear the Seaman rating insignia. 6. This NAVADMIN does not modify any previous guidance concerning early separation, Fleet Reserve, conversion packages, or Career Waypoints- Reenlistment requests. 7.
