https://my.navy.mil/quick-links.html, after release of the respective
selection ALNAV message, to determine if they were selected for retention and

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 BOL.
ESSBD improves the speed, transparency, and confidence of receipt over other
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 access document services through
BOL at https://www.bol.navy.mil/. 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 not 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.

f. 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 and will be returned without being presented to the board.
