lasting influence on platforms and systems that directly impact the future 
warfighting capability of the fleet.  Request command and fleet community 
assistance to identify candidates with strong operational performance and 
ideally, strong academic backgrounds in Science, Technology, Engineering and 
Mathematics fields of study.

line with reference (a), must be received by MyNavy Career Center (MNCC) no

until 6 Dec 2019, but must be submitted by the applicant, as a letter to the 
board, in line with subparagraph 3a below.  The command endorsement shall

dates after these respective dates may be removed from consideration and not

explicitly stated in the command endorsement that the endorsing command will 
provide TEMADD funds until the applicant can officially detach.  The e-mail
