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) 2024 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-24 Navy Selected Reserve LDO and CWO in-service
procurement board (ISPB) will consider candidates for the following
officer designators: 623X, 626X, 628X, 633X, 641X, 649X, 653X,
711X, 712X, 713X, 715X, 717X, 718X, 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) through (c) for eligibility criteria.
3. Updated policy guidance to reference (a).
a. Time-in-service (TIS) for the FY-24 Navy Selected Reserve
LDO and CWO ISPB must be computed to 1 October 2023. In line with
references (a) and (b), TIS is synonymous with years of qualifying
service toward a non-regular (Reserve) retirement.
b. 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 the office for 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 10b of this NAVADMIN to
discuss TIS waiver opportunities. All LDO applicants must be able
to serve at least 6 years of qualifying service and complete 20
years of qualifying service prior to age 62. 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
high year tenure for their present pay grade within the calendar
year the application is submitted. No further exceptions to listed
eligibility requirements in references (a) and (b) will be
entertained. All requests for TIS waivers must be received by 31
August 2022. TIS waiver requests and applications for Navy Selected
Reserve LDO and CWO programs are two separate processes with their
own respective submission deadlines. Applicants who intend to
submit applications for both the LDO and CWO programs must submit a
TIS waiver if the candidate falls outside of either eligibility
range. Failure to follow this guidance may result in a late TIS
waiver submission and subsequent disapproval of the requested
community.
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 limited
duty officer 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 chief
warrant officer 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/officer-in-charge (CO/OIC) endorsement
must contain the following statement: *Applicant meets all
requirements outlined in OPNAVINST 1420.1B, OPNAVINST 1120.12A,
NAVADMIN XXX/22 (reference this NAVADMIN), and the physical fitness
standards of OPNAVINST 6110.1J.* The endorsement should also
clearly state the command and COs/OICs name and rank.
4. Interview appraisal boards must be constructed and approved by
the CO/OIC and consist of only three Reserve or Active Component
officers. The names of the approved appraisal board members must
be included in the CO/OIC endorsement. To the maximum extent
possible, LDOs or CWOs shall be utilized as board members. The
senior member of the interview panel must be a lieutenant commander
or above.
a. Every effort will be made to ensure at least one board
member is from the designator for which the applicant is applying.
Interview appraisals should be conducted in person if possible, but
other methods can be utilized, including but not limited to
teleconference, video teleconference, defense connect online or
Microsoft Teams.
b. 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 minimum, not directly in the chain of command.
c. If it is not possible to assemble a panel of three officers,
the interviews may be conducted separately. Only three interview
appraisals are required for each applicant.
d. All sub-blocks contained within the "potential" section of
the appraisal sheet (technical knowledge, potential as a career
naval officer, and comments) must be completed for all LDO and CWO
candidates.
e. Each appraisal must contain the names of all three members
who conducted the interview panel. 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.
f. The CO of either SEAL Team 17 or 18 is a required interview
appraisal board member for both the 715X and 717X designators.
g. All applicants applying to the 715X designator must hold NEC
O26A or O23A. All applicants applying to the 717X designator must
hold NEC O52A.
5. Applicants currently serving on individual augmentation / global
support assignment (IA/GSA) may have their application endorsed by
their field commander. All applications endorsed by field
commanders must have concurrence of their parent command. Follow
the instructions in paragraph 10 to download a sample addendum
letter.
6. 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 2022 evaluation via addendum.
7. Applicants must maintain eligibility throughout the selection
and commissioning process. Applicants deemed ineligible after the
submission of applications must be declared ineligible by their
current CO, field commander (if on an IA/GSA) or parent command CO.
Follow the instructions in paragraph 9 to download a sample letter
of abeyance or removal of recommendation memo.

individual Service Member. Information received that is not under
the applicants cover letter (e.g. third party correspondence) and
endorsed by the command or not received by MNCC by the established
deadline(s) will not be presented to the board. The time and date
(central standard time) received in the MNCC inbox via e-mail is the
time and date used for deadline verification. Although a late

board. All applications or addendums must have the full social
