SUBJ/FISCAL YEAR 2023 NAVY RESERVE REAR ADMIRAL LINE AND STAFF CORPS 
SELECTIONS//

RMKS/1.  The President of the United States has approved the reports of the 
selection boards which recommend the following officers in the line and staff 
corps on the reserve list for promotion to the permanent grade of Rear 
Admiral.

2.  Frocking to Rear Admiral is not authorized except on an individual basis 
by the Secretary of Defense. 

McClelland, Jacquelyn
Ruttenberg, Eric C.
Steffen, Michael J.
Wall, Thomas S.
Watkins, Larry D.

3.  These nominations will ensure the Navy is equipped with the right senior 
leaders to support the Fleet and lead Navy Reserve Forces, recognizing that 
the continued preeminence of U.S. naval power is inextricably linked to the 
ability to successfully change.  To do so, officers with proven sustained 
superior performance in leadership positions of increasing scope and span of 
control in difficult and challenging assignments, including those in the 
diplomatic /foreign service arena, were chosen.

4.  The Board sought innovative and bold leaders who are their own toughest 
critic, who think creatively, challenge assumptions, and take well-calculated 
risks to maximize effectiveness.  The Board selected those officers with 
superior leadership skills that may be further developed in a variety of 
assignments across the Navy without regard to community, platform, or career 
paths to serve as the future leaders of the Navy.

5.  The convening orders and precepts for both boards may be found on the 
MyNavy HR website at the following link: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career

6. Released by the Honorable Carlos Del Toro, Secretary of the Navy.//
