SPOT PROMOTIONS
Title 10, U.S. Code authorizes the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) to convene a Special Selection Board (SSB) for an active-duty or reserve officer who SECNAV determines meets one of the following criteria:
1. Because of an
administrative error
, the record of an officer or former officer above or in the promotion zone is not considered by a promotion selection board (PSB).
2. An officer
considered but
not selected by a PSB:
- The PSB, which considered the officer, acted
contrary to law
.
- The action of the PSB involved
material error of fact
or
material administrative error
, which more likely than not deprived the officer of fair and impartial consideration.
- The
PSB did not have material information
before it for its consideration, which would have been essential to a substantially accurate, complete, and fair portrayal of the officer’s career.
NOTE: Board membership will no longer be released until after the results of the
board are released.
IMPORTANT:
All applications for SSBs must be received
NLT 3 years
after the date the contested board results were made public. An SSB shall not be convened to consider an officer who, through the exercise of
reasonable diligence
, might have discovered and taken steps to correct that error or omission on which the original board based its decision against promotion. An officer's request for consideration by an SSB must detail the steps the officer took to ensure the completeness and accuracy of the official record prior to the convening of the board which considered, by failed to select, the officer.
I feel I fit the criteria above and want to request an SSB, what do I do now?
1. Thoroughly review
SECNAVINST 1402.1
SSBs are discussed in enclosure 4.
2. Prepare an SSB request using this
Template
(requests do not require command endorsement). The Fiscal Year (FY) is not the current FY, but the FY for the SSB you are requesting.
3. Email your request to
NPC_Officer_SSB.fct@navy.mil
or mail to:
Navy Personnel Command
PERS-801
5720 Integrity Drive
Millington, TN 38055-8010
4. You will receive notification via email from PERS-801 that your request has been received. The process is intentionally deliberate, so please understand that it can take up to 12 months for the SECNAV to make a final determination. On average, it takes approximately 6 months. If an SSB is awarded, it can take an additional 6 months for the board to meet and the results to be released.
5. Once the SECNAV makes a determination, PERS-80 will inform you of the decision via email. If you are granted an SSB, please use this link for more information:
