This NAVADMIN announces the convening of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Training and Administration of the Reserve (TAR) Commander (O5) Selective Retention (SELRET) board. 2. The SELRET board is authorized to retain TAR O-5s who have twice failed of selection for promotion to the grade of O-6 and are not on a promotion list to a higher grade in order to meet requirements and authorized end strength. 3. The FY25 TAR Commander SELRET board will convene on 10 June 2024 to consider TAR O-5s in all competitive categories for retention. In line with reference (a), TAR O-5s not selected for retention will retire or be released from Active Duty not later than the first day of the seventh calendar month beginning after the month in which the SELRET board results are released. TAR officers will be retained on Active Duty, if necessary, to enable the officer to become eligible for a regular Active Duty retirement. In no case will retention of TAR O-5s on Active Duty extend beyond the first day of the month following the month in which the officers complete 28 years of commissioned service, subject to the exceptions in reference (a), as applicable. 4. Amplifying information can be accessed via MyNavy HR website at https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Community- Management/Officer/Reserve-OCM/TAR/TAR-Continuation/. The authorized number of selections for retention will be posted as part of the board convening order after the board adjourns. 5. Only eligible officers may communicate with the selection board via the Letter to the Board (LTB) process. An example letter to selection boards is available on the TAR continuation website. NAVADMIN 220/19 announced the introduction of the 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. 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. b. To utilize ESSBD, candidates must log into BOL at https://www.bol.navy.mil/ and select ESSBD (Submit letter to Selection Board). Once there, candidates must select LTB and on-screen instructions will direct the submitter thereafter. c. 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. d. LTBs must be received by Navy Personnel Command no later than 2359 (central time zone) 10 days prior to the convening date of the respective board, as noted below. Submitters are cautioned not to wait until the deadline date to submit LTBs via ESSBD or other available avenues. e. Timeline are as follows: Selection Board Convening Date Due Date/Time TAR CDR SELRET Board 10 JUN 24 30 MAY 24/2359 CST 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 they desire 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. 6. Point of contact is CDR Kirk Morris, TAR Officer Community Manager (BUPERS 351C), at (901) 874-4346/DSN 882 or via e-mail at kirk.n.morris.mil@us.navy.mil. 7.
