Candidates must meet the eligibility requirements outlined in chapter 2 of reference (a) and this NAVADMIN prior to the scheduled board convening date. All requirements must be reflected in the enlisted master file prior to the board convening. Requirements achieved or posted to the record of the candidate after the scheduled board convening date will be considered late. This will make a candidate ineligible for the regularly scheduled board or entitle a candidate to an enlisted special selection board. The authoritative source to determine selection board eligibility is the profile sheet. The AC/FTS/SELRES cycle is 241. Because eligibility status can change without direct notification, candidates should verify their profile sheet on a continuous basis and commands must verify their ESVR weekly through the projected board adjourn date. The profile sheet and ESVR are updated as changes are processed by PERS-802. a. The candidate shares equal responsibility with the parent command to ensure: (1) The name of the candidate appears on the selection board eligibility list. (2) The candidate is listed in the correct competitive group. (3) The Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) field codes 30-38 and performance summary record (PSR) of the candidate are up- to-date. b. If an eligible candidate is not listed on the selection board eligibility list, mail or e-mail a completed Advancement in Rate or Change in Rating worksheet (NETPDC 1430/3) along with a letter of transmittal to NETPDC (N321) and info PERS-802. c. If candidates listed on the selection board eligibility list are ineligible or later become ineligible, submit a message to NETPDC (N321) and PERS-802 requesting the eligibility of the candidate be invalidated and provide explanation for invalidation. In line with reference (a) paragraph 722, advancement recommendation withdrawal must be completed and documented prior to transmitting the message. d. If candidates are validated in the wrong competitive category, submit a message notification to NETPDC (N321) and PERS- 802 detailing the discrepancy. e. Sailors not selected to continue from a senior enlisted continuation board are ineligible for advancement. f. Candidates who do not have a recommendation for advancement on their most recent chief evaluation will be invalidated. Evaluations that restore a recommendation for advancement must be made available to PERS-802 prior to the board convening date. g. In line with reference (a), the terminal eligibility date used to compute the TIR is 1 October 2019. TIR date for E-8 candidates must be on or before 1 September 2016. TIR date for E-9 candidates must be on or before 1 July 2016. h. High year tenure (HYT) date or approved HYT waiver for the current paygrade must be 1 July 2019 or later. HYT waivers must be approved prior to the board convening. Candidates at HYT for the next higher paygrade on 1 July 2019 are ineligible for advancement, regardless of any approved HYT waiver. i. Members who have submitted voluntary Fleet Reserve (FLTRES)/retirement requests to Navy Personnel Command (NPC) are not eligible. Voluntary FLTRES requests are those not mandated by HYT. Members with FLTRES requests due to HYT are eligible for advancement and selection board consideration provided the HYT date for the present paygrade is 1 July 2019 or later per reference (a). An approved or pending voluntary FLTRES/retirement request must be successfully disapproved, canceled or modified to an involuntary date prior to the board convening to render a candidate selection board eligible. j. Commissioning Programs. Candidates who have been selected for Seaman to Admiral (STA-21) program, medical enlisted commissioning program, medical service corps in-service procurement or judge advocate general corps in- service procurement programs remain eligible for advancement consideration. Selection to any other officer commissioning program renders candidates ineligible. Commands are required to request those candidates be invalidated by PERS-802. k. In line with reference (b), nuclear candidates who are assigned Navy enlisted classification (NEC) N59X/N89X upon transfer from a nuclear propulsion plant operator to a non-nuclear billet at sea or ashore or to duty under instruction including special college education programs are ineligible for advancement. This includes nuclear candidates transferred to a STA-21 program duty station. l. Security clearance requirements. Candidates in a rating requiring a security clearance must have a favorable investigation adjudication by the Department of Defense Central Adjudication Facility reflected properly in Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS) prior to board convening. If the commanding officer (CO) of the candidate grants an interim clearance, JPAS must be updated prior to the board convening. Refer to reference (c) for additional guidance. Sailors who have a clearance must maintain that clearance eligibility. Ratings requiring a security clearance are AC, AE, AG, AO, AT, AW, AWF, AWO, AWR, AWS, AWV, AZ, CTI, CTM, CTN, CTR, CTT, EOD, ET, FC, FCA, FT, GM, HT, IC, IS, IT, LN, MA, MC, MN, MT, ND, OS, QM, SB, SO, STG and YN, as well as all nuclear and submarine ratings. m. Branch class (BRCL) and special program indicator (SPI) code. SPI for BRCL 32 Sailors must be verified via the billet based distribution system. BRCL 32 on active duty orders with a blank SPI code is invalid. Commands must correct the error via the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) or the Sailor may seek relief by petitioning the Board for Correction of Naval Records (BCNR). Sailors whose SPI code is invalid as of the board convening date will be invalidated. n. Competitive group specific eligibility requirements. Candidates must meet special requirements (citizenship, medical, etc.) for certain ratings as outlined in paragraph 203 of reference (a). Commands must verify and submit a message to NETPDC (N321) and PERS-802 requesting those selection board eligible Sailors be invalidated who no longer meet the qualifications listed in reference (a) or below by the scheduled board convening date. (1) Air Traffic Controller personnel must possess a valid Federal Aviation Administration 7220-1 ATCS Certificate and meet requirements established in reference (d).

However, this eligibility window is extended to 24 months of the LTB deadline for any CTI who achieves the maximum language qualification of L3/R3 on the most recent DLPT in his or her primary language, as assigned by his or her CO. Acceptable documentation of DLPT scores includes an evaluation with language scores or the official Navy DLPT letter from Navy Language, Regional Expertise and Culture Office (OPNAV N13F) forwarded to the board via the LTB of the candidate. Any CTI whose primary language DLPT has expired must possess a valid *Inability to Test* waiver from OPNAV N13F in order to be considered by the board. (3) Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) personnel must hold the Master EOD technician NEC (M04A) to be eligible for advancement to E-8 and E-9. (4) Active duty Navy Diver (ND) personnel must hold the First Class Diver NEC (M1DV) for group 2 or the Master Diver NEC (MMDV) for group 1 to be eligible for advancement to E-8 and must hold the NEC MMDV to be eligible for advancement to E-9. (5) Special Warfare Boat Operators personnel must have the Patrol Officer (SWCC Master) qualification to be eligible for advancement to E-8 and E-9. (6) Nuclear trained personnel (a) Submarine Sailors in nuclear ratings must hold a supervisor NEC (N13S, N14S, N15S or N16S) and the nuclear qualified secondary NEC N32Z (Engineering Department Master Chief (EDMC)) to be eligible for advancement to E-8. A NAVPERS 1221/6 requesting a secondary NEC of N32Z and copy of qualification card must be submitted to OPNAV N133 at bullnuke(at)navy.mil via the Force EDMC by 12 April 2019. Additional contact information is available via http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers- npc/enlisted/community/nuclear/ Pages/NuclearEnlistedPrograms.aspx. (b) Surface Sailors in nuclear ratings must hold a supervisor NEC (N23S, N24S, N25S or N26S) to be eligible for advancement to E-8. (c) Submarine Sailors in nuclear ratings must hold a supervisor NEC (N13S, N14S, N15S or N16S) to be eligible for advancement to E-9. Candidates must also hold the secondary NEC N32Z and have served or be currently serving as an EDMC of a submarine. Acceptable documentation of EDMC service for review by the selection board includes a chief evaluation with EDMC in Block 29 or 41, a letter from the CO via the member providing dates of EDMC service or NSIPS documentation via the candidate. Candidates without EDMC service documented in their OMPF must submit documentation with their LTB providing dates of EDMC service. (d) Surface Sailors in nuclear ratings must hold a supervisor NEC (N23S, N24S, N25S or N26S) to be eligible for advancement to E-9. Candidates must also hold the secondary NEC N31Z (Reactor Department Master Chief (RDMC)) and must have served or be currently serving as a division leading chief petty officer (DLCPO) of a nuclear division at sea (reactor mechanical, reactor electrical, reactor controls, reactor propulsion or reactor laboratories), reactor training division officer (RT DIVO) at sea or leading crew chief (LCC) of a prototype to be eligible for advancement to E-9. Sailors who are billeted as RDMC in lieu of DLCPO are also eligible for advancement to E-9. Acceptable documentation of DLCPO, RT DIVO, LCC or RDMC service for review by the selection board includes a chief evaluation with DLCPO, RT DIVO, LCC or RDMC in Block 29 or 41, a letter from the CO via the member to the board providing dates of DLCPO, RT DIVO, LCC or RDMC service or NSIPS documentation via the member. Candidates without DLCPO, RT DIVO, LCC or RDMC service documented in their OMPF must submit documentation with their LTB providing dates of DLCPO, RT DIVO, LCC or RDMC service. (7) Non-nuclear submarine Sailors must be designated as either SS, SU or SQ in line with reference (e) as of the board convening date to be eligible. Candidates designated as SG or SP are not eligible for advancement. o. While reference (f) (NAVADMIN 266/14) required personnel who were selected for senior chief petty officer in FY-17 to successfully graduate from a senior enlisted academy to be eligible for board consideration, increased throughput requirements made this unachievable without significant impact to talent management. Therefore, this requirement is waived for those selected in FY-17. Reference (f) will be reissued with revised guidance for senior enlisted academy requirements in future selection boards. 4. Competitive Groups. The below listed ratings are separated into competitive groups as applicable to the component of the candidate: a. CTI (Active Duty E-8) Group 1 - Middle East and North Africa Group 2 - East and Far East Asia Group 3 - Latin and South America Group 4 - Eastern Europe b. EMN, ETN and MMN (Active Duty E-8/E-9) Group 1 - Submarine Group 2 - Surface c. MU (Active Duty E-8/E-9) Group 1 - Premier Band Group 2 - Fleet Band d.

Record review and communication with the E-8/E-9 selection board. a. Communication to the board must originate from the individual candidate and must be accompanied under the signed LTB of the candidate. (1) The LTB may address any information that the candidate considers important. Candidates should not include items in their LTB that are already included in their OMPF or PSR unless the OMPF version is unreadable or the PSR is incorrect. An LTB to only state that the OMPF and PSR of the candidate have been verified and is correct is not desired. Any evaluation gaps should be resolved by either submitting the missing evaluations via an LTB or a statement in lieu of missing report per chapter 17 of reference (g). (2) LTBs must either be digitally signed using the military identity certificate of the candidate or have a hand-written signature of the candidate. Unsigned LTBs will not be presented to the board. (3) Third party correspondence is any communication to the board that is not accompanied by the signed LTB of the candidate and will not be presented to the board. Commands are not authorized to submit a message to NPC requesting information be presented to the board. b. Information received that is not accompanied by a signed LTB or not received by the MyNavy Career Center (MNCC) by the deadline listed in paragraph 2, will not be presented to the board, regardless of any attempt to submit on time. The time and date LTBs are received in the MNCC inbox (central time zone) is the time and date used for deadline verification. c. All LTBs and each enclosure must contain the candidates full name and full social security number. Candidates must verify that the correct board number is on their signed cover letter. Board numbers are: (1) 205 for SELRES E-8/E-9 (2) 206 for FTS E-8/E-9 (3) 210 for AC E-9 (4) 235 for AC E-8 d. The preferred method to submit an LTB is by encrypted e-mail to cscselboard(at)navy.mil. This is still a valid e-mail address for MNCC. E- mailed LTBs must be encrypted to protect personally identifiable information. e. Trouble with file encryption or certificates or any other communication errors that prevent the MNCC from reading a submission do not justify a late LTB. To verify receipt of an LTB, go to https://npccontactcenter.ahf.nmci.navy.mil/OA_HTML/npc.html or call the MNCC. Although late or unsigned LTBs may be accepted by the MNCC, they will not be presented to the board and no feedback will be provided to the candidate. f. If unable to e-mail, candidates may mail a LTB to the addresses below. Mailed LTBs should be on plain white paper and paper clipped (no staples, binders, folders or tabs). (1) SELRES/Mobilized IRR E-8/E-9 Board: MyNavy Career Center (BUPERS-074) President FY-20 Reserve E-8/E-9 Selection Board #205 5720 Integrity Drive Millington, TN 38055-6300 (2) FTS E-8/E-9 Board: MyNavy Career Center (BUPERS-074) President FY-20 Reserve E-8/E-9 Selection Board #206 5720 Integrity Drive Millington, TN 38055-6300 (3) Active E-9 Board: MyNavy Career Center (BUPERS-074) President FY-20 Active E-9 Selection Board #210 5720 Integrity Drive Millington, TN 38055-6300 (4) Active E-8 Board: MyNavy Career Center (BUPERS-074) President FY-20 Active E-8 Selection Board #235 5720 Integrity Drive Millington, TN 38055-6300 g. Certified or registered mail is not advised due to delays in handling. h. Candidates may submit more than one LTB vice waiting until the deadline to submit one all-inclusive LTB. Although multiple LTBs are authorized, candidates should not duplicate previously sent information. i. The same LTB deadline applies to candidates who gain eligibility after the LTB deadline and before the convening date. A candidate who is working to fix an eligibility issue and expects to be selection board eligible prior to the board convening date may submit an LTB, which must still be received prior to the deadline. 6. Selection board results. Official results will be provided online via BUPERS Online to authorized command representatives prior to the release of the official results via NAVADMIN. Selectee profile sheets will be published by NETPDC within 30 days of both RC and AC selection board results being released via NAVADMIN. Educational services officers who are registered users may access results through the Navy Enlisted Advancement System (NEAS) website (https://prod- neas.ncdc.navy.mil).
