This NAVADMIN announces the solicitation of applications from highly qualified and motivated E-6 through E-9 Reserve Sailors for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 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 FY-21 Navy Selected Reserve LDO and CWO In-Service Procurement Board (ISPB) 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. 3. LDOs and CWOs bring a variety of experience and unique perspectives into the wardroom from their enlisted service. LDO and CWO career paths provide additional leadership opportunities and enhance a Sailors ability 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-21 Navy Selected Reserve LDO and CWO ISPB must be computed to 1 October 2020. 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 in the personal statement section (paragraph 2) of the application, 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.
