The Navy has given sailors access to their personnel records. Service members can now log into BuPers Online where they can see all of their evaluations, awards and assignments.

"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," said Stanton. In the past, sailors had to order a CD to get access to the same material. But now, with just a click, they can get the information they want instantly.
