scheduled board convening date. All requirements must be reflected in the
enlisted master file prior to the board convening. Requirements achieved or
posted to the record of the candidates after the scheduled board convening
date will be considered late and do not make a candidate eligible for the
regularly scheduled board or entitle a candidate to a special selection
board. If candidates are deemed ineligible for advancement and later regain
eligibility, submit a message formatted e-mail to Naval Education Training
Professional Development Center (NETPDC)(N321) and Selection Board
Eligibility Branch (PERS-802) requesting validation of eligibility status and
provide an explanation. Eligibility requirements include:
a. The name of the candidate appears on the selection board eligibility
list in the correct competitive group on their profile sheet. Candidates
should register for e-mail notification for profile sheet updates via MyNavy
Portal at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/navy-advancement-center/my-
advancement. Candidates and commands share equal responsibility to ensure
the eligibility list is accurate. Because eligibility status can change
without direct notification, candidates should verify their profile sheet on
a continuous basis. Commands must verify their examination status
verification reports weekly through the projected board adjourn date at the
Navy Enlisted Advancement System (NEAS) website via MyNavy Portal at
https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/navy-advancement-center/my-eso.

an early promote (EP) TIR waiver is granted, the evaluation used to grant the
EP TIR waiver must be available to the board.
c. High year tenure (HYT) waivers must be approved prior to the board
convening. HYT date or approved HYT waivers for the current paygrade must be
dated 1 September 2020 or later. Candidates who will be at HYT on
1 September 2020 for the next higher paygrade are ineligible for advancement,
regardless of any approved HYT waiver.
d. Commands must-revalidate members whose disapproved or canceled
retirement authorization is adjudicated prior to selection board convening
date by sending an e-mail with a reason for revalidation to PERS-802. See

classifications (NEC) must be posted in the enlisted master file prior to the
regularly scheduled board convening date.
NECs posted to the enlisted master file after the regularly scheduled board
convening date, even with a prior date, will not entitle a candidate to a
special selection board. Commands must verify and submit a message formatted
e-mail to NETPDC (N321) and PERS-802 requesting invalidation of those
selection board eligible candidates who no longer meet rate specific and
competitive group qualifications listed in reference (a) or below by the
scheduled board convening date.

or SQ in line with reference (b) as of the board convening date to be
eligible. Candidates designated as SG or SP are not eligible for
advancement.

reference (c).
a. Communication to the board must originate from the individual
candidate and must be accompanied under the signed LTB of the candidate.
