When an instructor is deemed unsuitable for continued duties, what is the reclassification process referred to as?

The reclassification process for an instructor who is deemed unsuitable for continued duties is specifically referred to as the NEC 9502 removal process. This term is used within the Navy to denote the procedure that centers on the removal of an individual’s Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) designation for an instructor role. NEC 9502 is the code associated with instructors, and if an instructor is found to not meet the established standards or requirements, this removal process is initiated to ensure that only qualified personnel remain in instructional positions.

This process involves several steps, including evaluations and assessments that ultimately lead to the reassignment of the individual away from their teaching role. The focused nature of the NEC 9502 removal ensures that it is specific to instructors and addresses the unique challenges and standards of that position. The terminology is crucial within the Navy’s training and instructional environments, making it clear that actions taken in response to instructor performance are formally documented under this classification.
