This NAVADMIN announces further measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 throughout the Navy. To protect the health and safety of our force and to support geographical diversity of our selection board members, all promotion, advancement, milestone and other selection boards scheduled to convene on or after 24 March 2020 at Navy Personnel Command (NPC) are postponed until further notice. All affected board members and recorders with imminent travel requirements to support boards have been notified of this postponed. 2. Upon resumption, we anticipate boards will generally follow the original selection board sequence. As the COVID-19 situation evolves, NPC will refine the board schedule and promulgate additional guidance that ensures no eligible Sailor is disadvantaged by this action. Schedule efficiencies may include conducting some smaller administrative boards via proven virtual processes. 3. Enlisted Advancement Selection Boards, announced per references (a) and (b), policy is as follows: a. Eligibility: (1) All eligibility requirements continue to apply. (2) All candidates eligible at the time of the boards original date remain eligible. (3) No additional candidates will be added to the eligibility list. (4) Members who have submitted voluntary Fleet Reserve (FLTRES) /retirement requests to NPC are not eligible. Voluntary FLTRES are those not mandated by high year tenure (HYT). (5) Per references (a) and (b), any loss of eligibility prior to Board convening will result in the candidate being removed from the eligibility list. b. Letter to the board (LTB): (1) Submission deadlines remain as stated. (2) LTBs already received by NPC will remain on file for all rescheduled boards. c. Waiver requests due to rescheduled boards: Active-Duty E7/E8/E9 and Reserve/FTS E7 Board eligible candidates with a HYT date between 1 July 2020 and 30 November 2020 may request a HYT waiver to 31 December 2020 to remain selection board eligible. d. Individual candidates may continue to view profile sheets via MyNavy Portal at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/navy-advancement-center/my -advancement. 4. Officer Promotion/Continuation Selection Boards, announced per references (c) through (f), policy is as follows: a. Eligibility: (1) All eligibility zones continue to apply. (2) All candidates eligible at the time of the boards original date remain eligible. (3) No additional candidates will be added to the eligibility list. b. Letter to the Board (LTB): (1) Submission deadlines remain as stated. (2) LTBs already received by NPC will remain on file for all rescheduled boards. 5. Additional guidance and schedule details will be provided separate correspondence, as required. I want to reassure every affected Sailor that we are committed to maintaining the sanctity of the selection board process and every precaution is being taken to ensure fairness and minimize impact to you and your family. 6. This message will remain in effect until superseded or canceled. 7. Released by Vice Admiral John B. Nowell, Jr, N1.// BT #0001 NNNN UNCLASSIFIED//
