https://my.navy.mil/quick-links.html, after release of the respective
selection ALNAV message, to determine if they were selected for retention and
continuation. Once logged into BUPERS Online, click on
Advancements/Selection Boards and then on the appropriate officer

a. Reserve TAR O-5 Line Promotion Selection Board convenes 7 March 2023.
b. Reserve TAR O-5 Staff Corps Promotion Selection Board convenes 28
February 2023.

forwarded to a subsequent retention and continuation board for
consideration. Officers must communicate with each board separately.

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. Electronic Submission of Selection Board Documents (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.
Selection Board Convening Date Due Date / Time
TAR URL/RL Ret/Cont Board 7 MAR 23 25 FEB 23 / 2359 CST
FTS Staff Ret/Cont Board 28 FEB 23 18 FEB 23 / 2359 CST
e. If sending a board package from a non-NMCI network
(bumed.mil, eu.navy.mil, etc.), please review procedures listed in
NAVADMIN 220/19.
f. The written communication may call attention to the board, any matter
concerning the record of the officer 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 returned without being presented to the
board. Classified correspondence will not be accepted.
8. Questions regarding LTB submission should be directed to MyNavy Career
Center by calling 1-833-330-MNCC (1-833-330-6622/DSN: 882-6622).
9. Questions regarding retention and continuation should be directed to Navy
Personnel Command PERS-801 at (901) 874-4533/DSN 882.
