This NAVADMIN announces the solicitation of applications from highly qualified and motivated E6 through E9 Sailors for the FY-20 Navy Selected Reserve limited duty officer (LDO) and chief warrant officer (CWO) programs. Where conflicts with reference (a) exist, this NAVADMIN takes precedence. 2. The Selected Reserve LDO/CWO Board will consider candidates for the following officer designators: 623X, 626X, 628X, 629X, 633X, 641X, 649X, 653X, 711X, 712X, 713X, 715X, 716X, 717X, 781X, 782X, and 783X. Eligible Sailors are encouraged to apply for the designators for which they are most qualified, regardless of current rating. Refer to references (a) and (b) for eligibility criteria and application format. For up to date information concerning open designators, visit the community manager page at http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers- npc/officer/communitymanagers/reserve/selres/pages/RCLDOCWO.aspx. 3. LDOs and CWOs bring a variety of experience and unique perspectives into the wardroom from their enlisted service. LDO/CWO career paths provide additional leadership opportunities and enhance the ability of a Sailor to contribute to the Navy Reserve. These programs deliver to the officer corps seasoned professionals with proven leadership abilities at an economical cost. LDOs provide broad technical management and leadership skills, and CWOs provide specific technical expertise and leadership skills in support of the unrestricted line, restricted line, and staff corps communities. LDOs and CWOs serve in a variety of leadership billets within their technical fields, ranging from division officers to commanding officers (CO). 4. Updated policy guidance to reference (a). a. Time in service (TIS) for the FY-20 board must be computed to 1 October 2019. In line with references (a) and (b), TIS is synonymous with years of qualifying service toward a non-regular (reserve) retirement. b. TIS eligibility is 8 to 14 years for LDO and 14 to 20 years for CWO. However, TIS waivers will be considered and adjudicated on a case-by-case basis by the Head Reserve Officer Community Manager (OCM) (BUPERS-351). Potential applicants, outside of the TIS eligibility window, are encouraged to contact the Reserve LDO/CWO OCM in paragraph 14 of this NAVADMIN, to discuss TIS waiver opportunities. c. In line with reference (b), all applicants must include a statement on page 7 of Officer Package Application (OPNAV 1420/1 Rev 01-08), agreeing to further service, as follows: *I, [name], if selected for permanent appointment under the Navy Reserve LDO/CWO program, agree to accept such appointment and further agree to remain in the Ready Reserve for a period of 3 years after I accept such appointment.* d. CO/officer-in-charge (OIC) endorsement, located on page 10 of OPNAV 1420/1 (Rev 01-08), must contain the following statement: *Applicant meets all requirements outlined in OPNAVINST 1420.1B, NAVADMIN 281/12, NAVADMIN XXX/18 (use the NAVADMIN # for this message), and the physical fitness standards of OPNAVINST 6110.1J.* 5. First class petty officers serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Horn of Africa determined to be chief petty officer board eligible in line with reference (c) or reference (d) are also eligible for LDO if all other eligibility requirements are met. 6. Interview appraisal boards shall be constructed and approved by the CO/OIC and consist of a minimum of three naval officers (LDO/CWO, if available). Every effort shall be made (including but not limited to teleconference, video teleconference, defense connect online, etc.) to ensure at least one board member is from the designator for which the applicant is applying. All applicants applying to the 715X or 717X designators must have the CO of Sea, Air, and Land Team 17 or 18 as an interview appraisal board member if the applicant is assigned outside of the Naval Special Warfare claimancy. Minimum grade requirements for board members are lieutenant junior grade or CWO2 with 2 years time-in-grade. Three interview appraisals must be submitted for each applicant.

CO/OIC recommendation must include validation of any listed IA/GSA assignment and the statement in reference (c), paragraph 3. 8. Applicants currently serving on IA/GSA may have their application endorsed by their field commander. All applications endorsed by field commanders must have the parent command concurrence of the member.
