This NAVADMIN announces suspension of Active Component Cryptologic Warfare (CW) Limited Duty Officer (LDO) designator 681X accessions due to the overlap in CW LDO and Chief Warrant Officer (CWO) (781X) skill sets. Formal disestablishment of the 681X designator will take place after natural attrition of current inventory. 2. The Navy suspended CW LDO 681X accessions beginning with the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 In-Service Procurement Board, announced in reference (a). The FY-22 (cycle year 2021) In-Service Procurement Board was the last board that selected CW LDO 681X officers. Active component CW LDOs 681X are highly encouraged to complete CW officer (1810) requirements and submit redesignation without board action requests to 1810, consistent with references (b) and (c). All 681X billets will be converted to either 781X or 181X in coordination with billet stakeholders. 3. Points of contact a.
