RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces the November 2013 Active Duty Officer
Lateral Transfer/Redesignation Board. One element of Navy's personnel
program is to properly balance the skills and experience in the officer
corps. As part of the process, applications from qualified unrestricted
line, restricted line, staff corps, and limited duty officers (LDO) are now
being accepted for an Active Duty Officer Lateral Transfer/Redesignation
Board which convenes 12 November 2013. Full-Time Support (FTS) and Selected
Reserve (SELRES) officers are not eligible to apply for this board.
2. In addition to the year group (YG) limitations imposed in paragraph 6,
applicants must also meet eligibility requirements detailed in refs
(a) through (c).
a. Members who do not meet eligibility requirements per refs (a) through
(c) such as time-in-grade (TIG), years-of-commissioned service (YCS), or
time-in-service (TIS) must submit a waiver package in addition to their
lateral transfer/redesignation application.
b. Waiver packages must include member's waiver request and commanding
officer's endorsement. This endorsement is separate from any endorsements
contained in the member's lateral transfer/redesignation application and must

eligible, regardless of platform/community.
e. Judge advocates looking to laterally transfer to another community
should be aware that upon lateral transfer to another community, they will

considering impact to overall community health. Nuclear LDO submissions will
