10. Only eligible officers may communicate with a continuation 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 MyNavy Portal. 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 is available for all promotion, advancement and selection
boards.
b. 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.
c. To utilize ESSBD, candidates must access document services
through MNP at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/my-record.
On-screen instructions will direct the submitter thereafter.
d. 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. If required, a full visual user
guide is available through MyNavy Portal
at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion.
e. LTBs must be received by Navy Personnel Command not later than 2359
(central time) (CT) 10 days prior to the convening date of the respective
board, as noted below. Submitters are cautioned to not wait until the
deadline date to submit LTBs via ESSBD or other available avenues.

is capable of receiving encrypted correspondence in accordance with
Department of Defense policy. 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 he or she
desires such correspondence be presented to the board. Correspondence without
such an acknowledgement is considered third party correspondence and will be
rejected without being presented to the board. Classified correspondence
will not be accepted.
11. Questions regarding LTB submission and continuation should be directed
to MyNavy Career Center by calling 1-833-330-MNCC (1-833- 330-6622/DSN: 882-
