The document summarizes the different types of Application Eligibility Flags that may be displayed in CMS/ID when a sailor submits a job application. The flags alert sailors to Navy policies or issues that could impact their application or assignment. They include flags for sailors with dependents, low performance evaluations, approaching high tenure dates, outdated security clearances, and other circumstances. The flags do not prevent application submission but ensure sailors are aware of screening requirements or factors that could limit assignment to specific jobs.

1. Application Eligibility Flags are displayed in CMS/ID when a job application is submitted. Flags will not stop
you from submitting your application. Their purpose is to alert you to Navy policies that relate to your
application or to issues that may affect your assignment to the job.
Flags are displayed when you attempt to submit an application and must be acknowledged before the
submission can be finalized. Acknowledged Flags are then captured in your Alert History, accessible through
your Personnel Detail.
