*** IMPORTANT FY-26 Continuation Board Information (Failure Of Selection to O-5) ***
If you are a LCDR who did not select for promotion to CDR during this past FY-26 Active-Duty Navy Commander Line Promotion Board (ALNAV 045/25), and if this was your second Failure of Selection (FOS), please log into BOL to check the results of the FY-26 Active-Duty Navy Officer Continuation Selection Board – Click on the hyperlink at the top of the page on BOL titled, “Advancements/Selection Boards.”
Under “Status” within this hyperlink in BOL you will be assigned a Continuation Code that only you can view. If you’ve been assigned a Continuation Code of ‘J’ then you have been selected for continued service for up to 24-years of active service. Action may be REQUIRED:
1. If statutory retirement orders are already released with a retirement date in FY-26 (October 1, 2025 through September 1, 2026), contact your detailer and state your intention regarding the continuation offer. If you state that you accept the continuation offer, your detailer will take the necessary steps to have your retirement orders cancelled. If you state that you decline the continuation offer, your retirement orders will remain as written, and you should execute them accordingly.
2. If you have been assigned Continuation Code “J” and your expected statutory retirement orders for retirement in FY-26 have NOT been released, ACCEPTANCE OF CONTINUATION IS ASSUMED. Without action by you, statutory retirement orders in FY-26 will NOT be released, and you will be considered available for normal detailing. If you do NOT desire to accept continuation, submit a retirement request in NSIPS, but contact your detailer first to discuss. Your request will ultimately be processed as a multi-FOS statutory retirement with the same retirement date in FY-26 as if you had not been selected for continuation.
We request that you reach out to your detailer to discuss further if you have any questions regarding the continuation process and policies. The below link also provides all policies and procedures related to continuation selection boards that you should also familiarize yourself with.

We consistently receive inputs for nominative billets, so if it’s not listed on the DSF, not to worry, just let your detailer know if you’re interested.

How to Read the Downstream Fills:
Hot Fills - Gapped or short notice fills at high priority commands. Being reconciled to a hot fill does not mean that you will be immediately pulled for fill.
-
Fill Date - The date by which the gaining command wants the prospective officer on station. If Fill Date is expired, the billet may be gapped. Format is Year Month, i.e., 0307 indicates 2003 July.
-
CMD - The command name (frequently acronym or DICNAVAB format).
-
Billet - A brief description or job title.
-
UIC - Unit Identification Code
-
BSC - Billet Sequence Code
-
DESIG - Billet is coded for 1110, 1050 (any URL), 1000 (any Officer)
-
HPORT - Geographic location or homeport of the command
-
AQD - Additional Qualification Designation Codes which can be found in NAVPERS 15839I
Notes: These jobs are subject to frequent and rapid change.
While a BSC may not list a specific AQD, subspecialty, or seniority level, the command may be looking for someone with particular skills to meet emerging requirements.
Many of these jobs require informal (if not formal) approval by the gaining command.
