Corresponding with the Selection Board
Per NAVADMIN 220/19, Electronic Submission of Selection Board Documents (ESSBD) is the preferred method of submitting a Letter to the Board (LTB).
Due to a Google Chrome update, some users may experience an error to the enclosures list on the cover page for an ESSBD Letter to the board. The attachments are included but not shown on the cover page. To circumvent this issue, users should submit an ESSBD Letter to the board using Microsoft Edge in IE compatibility mode. Per NAVADMIN 220/19, if unable to submit letters to the board (LTB) via ESSBD, please submit via encrypted e-mail to cscselboard@navy.mil or send via postal mail or other commercial mail delivery service (FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc).
To utilize ESSBD, candidates must access document services through MyNavy Portal (MNP) at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/my-record or the BOL main menu. From the BOL main menu, select "ESSBD (Submit letter to SelBoard"," Start Process, Selection Board and LTB. On-screen instructions will direct the submitter thereafter. Submissions should be prepared with attachments (if applicable), prior to initiating their LTB. There is no save and return function between BOL sessions. Submitters will receive an e-mail confirmation regarding the status of their submitted LTB.
ESSBD attachments must be in .pdf format and must not contain classified information, including any markings regarding the same. LTBs and attachments containing such markings will not be presented to the board and may subject the submitter to disciplinary action. ESSBD uses the 10-digit DOD identification number and should be included on attachments. SSN does not need to be included on attachments.
Multiple LTBs to the same board will be accepted. However, duplicate submissions, using ESSBD or other available avenues, are discouraged.
Users should receive an e-mail within 24 hours confirming receipt, but may also check the status of their submission by selecting "Get Submission Status" under the ESSBD Start Process tab. A status of "You Accepted" or "Auto Accepted" indicates the submission was received and transmitted to the slection board.
Submission and subsequent receipt acknowledgement for LTBs submitted via ESSBD or other means does not constitute confirmation of eligibility for the boards to which LTBs are submitted. For instructions on using ESSBD and checking the status of an ESSBD submission, please refer to the ESSBD User Guide.
If ESSBD is unavailable, LTBs for enlisted promotion selection boards may be submitted to the MyNavy Career Center (MNCC) in accordance with the selection board NAVADMIN via encrypted e-mail to cscselboard@navy.mil,
postal mail or other commercial mail delivery service (FedEx, UPS DHL, etc). Please do not send communications with promotion selection boards to your detailer or other PERS code. If you do, you risk your correspondence getting lost or being received too late for the board. Also, you must use your full 10-digit DoD identification number (preferred) or full nine 9-digit SSN (if directed) on your cover letter and any document that does not already contain it.
Encrypted emails containing LTB packages shall be sent to CSCSELBOARD@navy.mil. To ensure more efficient processing and for internal tracking purposes, a recommended subject line of your email is "FOUO-Privacy Sensitive Board Package: Active-Duty [Rank] Board, FY-YYXXX" (where YY represents the last two digits of the fiscal year of the selection board and the XXX represents the actual 3-digit board number and you insert the appropriate parenthetical information). For a complete list of boards, please select the appropriate fiscal year board page using on the Selection Board Support webpage. You must encrypt your email due to PII policy. If you send from a .mil e-mail address, you should digitally sign your e-mail. Cover letters must be signed with a wet (pen) or CAC signature that displays DoD ID number.
If experiencing encryption problems sending an e-mail to the MNCC the use of DOD Safe is available using the following steps.
