Among many factors reviewed, documented misconduct and/or substandard performance within the past 3 years will be considered to determine whether to continue a board- eligible Sailor. Examples include, but are not limited to, receipt of an evaluation with an individual trait grade of 2.0 or below or any documented circumstance related to performance that results in a Sailors inability to perform in the rating or required duties (e.g., loss of a security clearance in a rating that requires a member to maintain continuous eligibility). 2.

Fleet Reserve/retirement approval (1) All personnel who, as of 16 November 2019, have either a Navy Personnel Command (NAVPERSCOM) final authorization to transfer to the Fleet Reserve or an approved request to retire on or before 1 September 2020 will be exempt from the SECB.

Readiness appeals are approved by the Chief of Naval Personnel (CNP). Readiness appeal format is available at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/career-planning.

Sailors who have been detached for cause, were awarded non-judicial punishment, courts- martial or have other adjudicated misconduct between 9 December 2016 and 9 December 2019 are not eligible to be considered for a readiness appeal. (2) A readiness appeal shall focus on the negative impact to unit or force readiness if the Sailor is separated, not for the convenience of the Sailor.

If the TYCOM recommends approval, the request is forwarded to NAVPERSCOM, Post Selection Board Matters Branch (PERS-833) for AC and FTS for further routing to CNP for final disposition. (4) Route SELRES appeal requests through the administrative chain of command via COMNAVRESFORCOM (N1) to the TYCOM.

(6) If the TYCOM (AC, FTS or SELRES) or COMNAVRESFORCOM (N1) (VTU) does not recommend approval, the request is disapproved and is returned to the requesting command. The TYCOM or COMNAVRESFORCOM (N1) will forward an electronic copy of disapprovals to NAVPERSCOM (PERS-833) for record retention. (7) CNP decision is final and not subject to waiver or appeal to higher authority.
