Under the Web Enabled Record Review, announced Jan. 14, sailors with a computer that has a common access card reader can log into BuPers Online. There, they’ll see if all their evals, awards and assignments — all the things put in front of a selection board — have made it safely to Navy Personnel Command.

The days of having to order a CD-ROM through the mail to make sure your records are up to date are coming to an end.

Under the Web Enabled Record Review, announced Jan. 14, sailors with a computer that has a common access card reader can log into BuPers Online. There, they’ll see if all their evals, awards and assignments — all the things put in front of a selection board — have made it safely to Navy Personnel Command.

“The beauty of this capability is if an individual knows they are eligible for a specific board, they can go online and immediately view everything that’s in their record and everything that’s pushed to a selection board,” said Dwight Stanton, director of the Military Personnel Records Management Division.

“It simply saves the member a lot of time, as you no longer have to order a CD, but that option is still there.”

Stanton said those on deployment or with limited online connectivity might still be better served ordering a CD. The process takes a few weeks.
