RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces the solicitation of applications from highly
qualified and motivated E-6 through E-9 Reserve Sailors for the Fiscal Year
(FY) 2023 Navy Selected Reserve Limited Duty Officer (LDO) and Chief Warrant
Officer (CWO) Programs. Where conflicts with reference (a) exist, this
NAVADMIN takes precedence.
2. The FY-23 Navy Selected Reserve LDO and CWO In-Service Procurement Board
(ISPB) will consider candidates for the following officer designators: 623X,
628X, 629X, 633X, 641X, 649X, 653X, 711X, 712X, 713X, 715X, 716X, 717X, 781X,
782X and 783X. Eligible Sailors are encouraged to apply for the designators
for which they are most qualified, regardless of current rating. Refer to
references (a) and (b) for eligibility criteria.
3. Updated policy guidance to reference (a).
a. Time-in-service (TIS) for the FY-23 Navy Selected Reserve LDO and CWO
ISPB must be computed to 1 October 2022. In line with references (a) and
(b), TIS is synonymous with years of qualifying service toward a non-regular
(Reserve) retirement. TIS eligibility is 8 to 14 years for LDO and 14 to 20
years for CWO. However, TIS waivers will be considered and adjudicated on a
case-by-case basis by Director, Military Personnel Plans and Policy (OPNAV
N13).
Potential applicants outside of the TIS eligibility window are encouraged to
contact the Reserve LDO/CWO Officer Community Manager (OCM) in paragraph 11
of this NAVADMIN to discuss TIS waiver opportunities. All requests for time
in service waivers must be received by 31 August 2021.
b. All LDO applicants must be able to serve at least six years of
qualifying service as an officer and complete 20 years of qualifying service
prior to reaching 62 years of age. All CWO applicants must be able to
complete 20 years of qualifying service prior to reaching 62 years of age.
Applicants must also not reach or exceed their high year tenure for their
present pay grade within the calendar year the application is submitted.
Other than TIS, no exceptions to listed eligibility requirements in
references (a) and (b) will be considered.
c. In line with reference (b), all LDO applicants must include a
statement in the additional comments section (paragraph 2) of the
application, agreeing to further service, as follows: *I, [name], if
selected for permanent appointment under the Navy Reserve LDO program, agree
to accept such appointment and further agree to remain in the Ready Reserve
for a period of three years after I accept such appointment.*
d. In line with reference (b), all CWO applicants must include a
statement in the additional comments section (paragraph 2) of the
application, agreeing to further service, as follows: *I, [name], if
selected for permanent appointment under the Navy Reserve CWO program, agree
to accept such appointment and further agree to remain in the Ready Reserve
for a period of six years after I accept such appointment.*
e. Commanding Officer (CO)/Officer-in-Charge (OIC) endorsement must
contain the following statement: *Applicant meets all requirements outlined
in OPNAVINST 1420.1B, OPNAVINST 1120.12A, NAVADMIN 117/21 and the physical
fitness standards of OPNAVINST 6110.1J.* The endorsement should also clearly
state the command and COs name and rank.
4. First class petty officers serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Horn of
Africa that are determined chief petty officer board eligible in line with
reference (c) are also eligible for LDO if all other eligibility requirements
are met.
5. Interview appraisal boards shall be constructed and approved by the
CO/OIC and consist of only three Reserve or Active Component officers. LDOs
or CWOs should be utilized as board members to the maximum extent possible.
The senior member of the interview panel should be a lieutenant commander or
above. Every effort must be made to ensure at least one board member is from
the designator for which the applicant is applying (including but not limited
to teleconference, video teleconference, defense connect online, etc.).
Minimum grade requirements for board members are lieutenant junior grade or
CWO2. CWO2 panel members must have at least two years time in grade. The
interviewing board should, whenever possible, be comprised of officers who
are not in the applicants command or at least not directly in the chain of
command. If it is not possible to assemble a panel of three officers, the
interviews may be conducted separately. Only three interview appraisals must
be submitted for each applicant. The potential block on interview appraisals
must be marked for LDO and CWO candidates. Only the current version of the
interviewer appraisal sheet will be accepted.
Follow the instructions in paragraph 10 to download the most current
interviewer appraisal sheet.
a. The CO of either Sea, Air and Land Team 17 or 18 is a required
interview appraisal board member for both the 715X and 717X designators.
b. All applicants applying to the 715X designator must hold NEC O26A or
O23A. All applicants applying to the 717X designator must hold NEC O52A.
6. Applicants currently serving on IA/GSA may have their application
endorsed by their field commander. All applications endorsed by field
commanders must have their parent command concurrence. Follow the
instructions in paragraph 10 to download a sample addendum letter.
7. Applicants must ensure copies of the most recent periodic evaluation are
included in the application or subsequent addendum for board review and
continuity. First class petty officers must submit their 15 November 2021
evaluation via addendum if it is not already reflected in their official
military personnel file.
8. Applicants must maintain eligibility throughout the selection and
commissioning process. Applicants that are deemed ineligible after the
submission of applications must be declared ineligible by their current CO,
field commander (if on an IA) or parent command CO. Follow the instructions
in paragraph 10 to download a sample letter of abeyance or removal of
recommendation memo.
