In accordance with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff “Flag Officer Professional Character Implementation Plan,? each service is required to implement a 360-degree personnel assessment for each current general/flag officers (GO/FOs).

The remaining two follow-on coaching events occurred individually over a nine-month period subsequent to the NFLEX Program. The NFLEX Program is 5.5 days in length, and usually held at the end of October of each year, with exact dates TBD. In 2016, a decision by CNO directed a phased approach to delivery of the self-assessment, delivery of the 360-degree assessment, feedback and coaching segments. Beginning in 2016, the self-assessment (currently the MBTI) will continue to occur in conjunction with NFLEX, and the 360 assessments and feedback will now occur in conjunction with a three-day CNO Spring Navy Flag Officer and Senior Executive Symposium (NFOSES) in the months following NFLEX. The NFOSES Program is 3 days in length, and usually held in the first or second week of April of each year, with exact dates TBD.
