What is the purpose of NETPDC 1430/3?

The NETPDC 1430/3 form serves the purpose of facilitating the advancement in rate or change of rating for naval personnel. This form is crucial for documenting the progress and qualifications of service members who are seeking to move up in rank or change their current rating job classification. By using this form, sailors can ensure that their requests for advancement or rating changes are processed in accordance with the established Navy guidelines and policies. It provides necessary information to support their advancement evaluation, allowing the command to assess their eligibility based on performance, qualifications, and required training.

The other options do not serve this specific function; for example, a leave approval request is handled through a different form designed specifically for that purpose, while transfer applications and separation procedures each have their own dedicated forms as well.
