220/19 announced the introduction of a new application known as
Electronic Submission of Selection Board Documents (ESSBD),
accessible through MNP. 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 MNP
athttps://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion.
e. LTBs must be received by Navy Personnel Command no later
than 2359 (central standard time) (CST) 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.

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. All officers are reminded of their responsibility to ensure the
completeness and accuracy of their official records prior to the
convening date of the board.
