A FTS LCDR who has twice failed of selection (2XFOS) to the grade of commander and whose name is not on a promotion list must be released from active duty and removed from the Reserve Active-Status List (RASL) on the later of (1) the first day of the month after the month in which the officer completes 20 years of commissioned service, or (2) the first day of the seventh month after the month in which the President approves the report of the board which consider the officer for the second time, unless the officer is retained under section 12646 of title 10, U.S. Code (18-year sanctuary for a Reserve retirement), or retained under section 12686 of title 10, U.S. Code (18-year sanctuary for a Regular retirement), or continued on the RASL by a continuation selection board. 3. Continuation Selection Board Eligibility of FTS LCDR Unrestricted Line, Restricted Line, and Staff Corps: a. 2XFOS LCDRs with less than 14 Years of Active Service (YOAS) on the date of mandatory removal from the RASL under paragraph 2.

Reserve FTS LCDRs who meet any of the eligibility criteria in paragraph 3 shall check BUPERS Online, via https://my.navy.mil/quick-links.html, after release of the respective selection ALNAV message, to determine if they were selected for continuation. Once logged into BUPERS Online, click on Advancements/Selection Boards and then on the appropriate officer (Promotion/Continuation) board to determine the results. 5. Promotion selection board convening dates are as follows: a. Reserve FTS O-5 Staff Corps Promotion Selection Board convenes 25 February 2020. b. Reserve FTS O-5 Line Promotion Selection Board convenes 3 March 2020. 6. Correspondence addressed to the promotion selection board will not be forwarded to a subsequent continuation board for consideration. Officers must communicate with each board separately. 7. Only eligible officers may communicate with a continuation selection board via the Letter to the Board (LTB) process. NAVADMIN 220/19 announced the introduction of a new application known as Electronic Submission of Selection Board Documents (ESSBD), accessible through MyNavy Portal (MNP). ESSBD improves the speed, transparency and confidence of receipt over current LTB submission methods, such as hard copy and e-mail submitted letters and related attachments. a. Beginning 1 January 2020, ESSBD will be available for all promotion, advancement and selection boards. b. ESSBD provides board candidates with the capability to electronically submit LTBs in a standard, consistent format, with or without attachments and will allow the candidate to see (for content and clarity) exactly what will be delivered and presented to the board. c. To utilize ESSBD, candidates must access document services through MNP at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/my-record. On-screen instructions will direct the submitter thereafter. d. Submission and subsequent receipt acknowledgement for LTBs submitted via ESSBD or other means does not constitute confirmation of eligibility for the boards to which LTBs are submitted. If required, a full visual user guide is available at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and- promotion. e. LTBs submitted to officer continuation selection boards must be received by Navy Personnel Command not later than 2359 (central time) 10 days prior to the convening date of the respective board. Submitters are cautioned to not wait until the deadline date to submit LTBs via ESSBD or other available avenues. f. If sending a board package from a non-NMCI network (bumed.mil, eu.navy.mil, etc.), please review procedures listed in NAVADMIN 220/19. g. The written communication may call attention to the board, any matter concerning the record of the officer that the officer considers important. Written communication may include, as enclosures, correspondence from any individual concerning the eligible officer. Correspondence not originated by the eligible officer, including endorsement to the letter of the eligible officer and letters written on behalf of that officer, must contain a written acknowledgement by the eligible officer that he or she desires such correspondence be presented to the board. Correspondence without such an acknowledgement is considered third party correspondence and will be returned without being presented to the board. Classified correspondence will not be accepted. 8. Questions regarding LTB submission should be directed to MyNavy Career Center by calling 1-833-330-MNCC (1-833-330-6622/DSN: 882-6622). 9. Questions regarding continuation should be directed to Navy Personnel Command PERS-801 at (901) 874-4533/DSN 882.
