Candidates must meet the eligibility requirements outlined in chapters 2 and 11 of reference (a) and this NAVADMIN prior to the scheduled board convening date. All requirements must reflect in the respective EMF prior to the board convening. Requirements achieved or posted to the record of the candidate after the scheduled board convening date are considered late and will not make a candidate eligible for the regularly scheduled board or entitle a candidate to an enlisted special selection board. Refer to paragraph 616 of reference (a) for E-8 through E-9 candidate validation procedures. Eligibility requirements include: a. The name of the candidate appears on the selection board eligibility list in the correct competitive group on their profile sheet. Candidates should register for e-mail notification for profile sheet updates via MNP at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/navy-advancement-center/my- advancement. Candidates and commands share equal responsibility to ensure the eligibility list is accurate. 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. b. In line with reference (a), the terminal eligibility date used to compute the TIR is 1 October 2020. The TIR date for E-8 candidates must be on or before 1 September 2017. The TIR date for E-9 candidates must be on or before 1 July 2017. c. High year tenure (HYT) waivers must be approved prior to the board convening. HYT date or approved HYT waivers for the current paygrade must be 1 July 2020 or later. Candidates who will be at HYT on 1 July 2020 for the next higher paygrade are ineligible for advancement, regardless of any approved HYT waiver. d. Commands must revalidate members whose disapproved or cancelled retirement authorization is adjudicated prior to the selection board convening date by sending an e-mail with the reason for revalidation to the Selection Board Eligibility Branch (PERS- 802). See paragraph 208 of reference (a) for Fleet Reserve request impacts to eligibility. e. Security clearance requirements. See paragraph 203 of reference (a).

Commands must verify and submit a message formatted e-mail to NETPDC (N321) and PERS-802 requesting invalidation of those selection board eligible candidates who no longer meet the rate specific and competitive group qualifications by the scheduled board convening date. g. Non-nuclear submarine Sailors must be designated as either SS, SU or SQ in line with reference (b) as of the board convening date to be eligible. Candidates designated as SG or SP are not eligible for advancement. h. While reference (c) required personnel who were selected for E-8 in FY-17 and FY-18 to successfully graduate from the senior enlisted academy (SEA) to be eligible for E-9 board consideration, increased throughput requirements made this unachievable. Therefore, this requirement is waived for E-8s selected in FY-17 and FY-18. Reference (c) will be revised with guidance for SEA requirements in future selection boards. 7. Competitive Groups. The below listed ratings are separated into competitive groups as applicable to the component of the candidate: a.
