PNA (Passed Not Advanced) Points are added to your FMS (E-4/5/6 only) if you pass the test, but are not advanced. PNA Points come from two sources, your exam Standard Score (SS) and your Performance Mark Average (PMA). You can receive up to 1.5 Points each for PMA and SS per exam with a maximum of 3.0 per exam. Only the PNA points from the last 5 exam cycles are used. PNA Points for Performance Mark Average (PMA) is based on how you rank among your peers. Your PMA must fall within the top 25% of ranked performance avarages to garner points.  Similarly, PNA Points for Exam Standard Score (SS) is based on all exam scores where your SS must fall in the top 25% in your paygrade/rating to get points.

Performance Mark Average ranking must fall in the Top 25% = 1.5 PNA Points

Exam Standard Score must fall in Top 25% = 1.5 PNA Points  (in your rating/paygrade only)

  1. I took the test for chief with intensions on if I passed, I would be allowed to go on to LDO I had to go from Houston to San Antonio In order to take the test because they had no test for me. I never did find out If I passed or not. With that being said I have sense Retired. I would like to know if there is any way if I could find out. If not.
    Can I be buried with military honors in a chief’s uniform
