c. Candidates who do not have a recommendation for advancement on their
most recent chief evaluation shall not be validated. Evaluations that
restore a recommendation for advancement must be made available to the
selection board prior to the board convening date. Refer to ref (a),
paragraph 1208 for candidates who lose their advancement recommendation after
the selection board convenes.
d. Terminal eligibility date (TED). The TED for Cycle 221 is 1 October
2014. This date shall be used to compute and determine TIR eligibility per
ref (a), table 2-2.
e. Commissioning programs. Candidates selected for Seaman to Admiral,
Medical Enlisted Commissioning Program, and Medical Service Corps In-Service
Procurement Program remain eligible for advancement consideration to senior
chief and master chief petty officer. Candidates selected to any other
officer commissioning programs are ineligible and must be invalidated by
their command.
f. High year tenure (HYT). Per ref (b), candidates who reach HYT on or
after 1 July 2014, or who have received a HYT waiver prior to the board
convening date to remain on active duty (or remain in SELRES status) beyond 1
July 2014 are eligible for consideration by the selection board. Candidates

successfully disapproved, canceled, or modified to an involuntary date prior
to the board convening to render a candidate selection board eligible. If
the voluntary FLTRES/retirement request is successfully disapproved,
canceled, or modified to an involuntary date, the candidate's command must
revalidate the candidate per paragraph 2.c.(1) of this NAVADMIN prior to
board convening.
h. Security Clearance Requirements. All personnel in certain ratings
must maintain continuous security clearance eligibility. A favorable
investigation adjudication must be issued from Department of Defense Central
Adjudication Facility or the member's commanding officer (CO) must grant
temporary access, an interim clearance, prior to the first day of the month

command's enlisted distribution verification report (EDVR).
Naval Reserve personnel on active duty with a blank SPI Code are in an
invalid status that may result in assignment of an incorrect advancement
competitive category. Commands must correct the error via the Navy standard
integrated personnel system (NSIPS) or the Sailor may seek relief via
petitioning the board for correction of naval records. Sailors in this
invalid accounting status as of the board convening date will be invalidated.

must submit documentation with their LTB providing dates of EDMC service.
d. To be eligible for advancement to E9, surface Sailors in nuclear
ratings must hold a supervisor NEC (3393, 3394, 3395, 3396), and must have

8. Communication with the selection board. Candidates' LTB, which may be
mailed or e-mailed to the addresses below, provides candidates the
opportunity to submit any missing documents from the sections of their
records that are viewed by the selection boards. Candidates are encouraged
to review ref (a) chapter 12 and ref (d) concerning selection board record
review and guidance for LTB submission.
Selection boards will review the OMPF and performance summary record (PSR)
Parts I, II, and III of all candidates, as well as items submitted by
candidates per policy outlined in this NAVADMIN. A LTB is only recommended
if the candidate's OMPF is missing information, their PSR reflects incorrect
data, or they have information they desire to convey to the board.
Candidates are not required to submit a LTB to notify the board that
everything is correct in their record. Candidates are encouraged to access
their OMPF via BUPERS online to verify completeness. Candidates may also
request a copy of their OMPF as outlined in ref (e). In many cases, items
viewable in NSIPS electronic service record may not be contained in a
candidate's OMPF. If documents that candidates want the board to review are
not viewable via "OMPF My Record", they may submit those documents with their
LTB. Further LTB submission guidance is as
follows:
a. Communication to the board must originate from the individual member
and must be accompanied under the candidate's LTB.
Information received that is not under the candidate's LTB (third party
correspondence) or not received by the NPC customer service center (CSC) by
the established deadline will not be presented to the board. The time and
date LTBs are received in the NPC CSC inbox (central standard time) is the
time and date used for deadline verification. Although a late LTB may be
accepted by the NPC CSC, it will not be presented to the board. This
supersedes ref (a).
b. All mailed LTBs must be on plain white paper, paper clipped (no
staples, binders, folders, or tabs), and submitted under cover letter to the
President of the Board. Candidates must verify the correct board number (see
below) is on their LTB to ensure it appears before the proper board.
c. Full name and full SSN must be affixed and legible on all documents
submitted.
d. Selection board mailing addresses. Use of special handling mail
(certified or registered) is not advised due to significant delays in
handling.
(1) SELRES/Mobilized IRR E8/9 board:
Navy Personnel Command Customer Service Center
President FY-15 Reserve Enlisted Selection Board #205
5720 Integrity Drive
Millington TN 38055-6300
(2) FTS E8/9 board:
Navy Personnel Command Customer Service Center
President FY-15 Reserve Enlisted Selection Board #206
5720 Integrity Drive
Millington TN 38055-6300
(3) Active E9 board:
Navy Personnel Command Customer Service Center
President FY-15 Active Enlisted Selection Board #210
5720 Integrity Drive
Millington TN 38055-6300
(4) Active E8 board:
Navy Personnel Command Customer Service Center
President FY-15 Active Enlisted Selection Board #235
5720 Integrity Drive
Millington, TN 38055-6300
e. E-mail address for submitting a LTB is cscselboard@navy.mil. E-
mailed LTBs must be encrypted to protect personally identifiable information
(PII). Trouble with file encryption or certificate issues does not justify a
late LTB. If the candidate is unable to send the e-mail encrypted to
cscselboard@navy.mil, candidates may utilize the safe access file exchange
(SAFE) website at https://safe.amrdec.army.mil/safe/
to transmit their LTB to cscselboard@navy.mil. In order for LTBs to be
considered by the board, the NPC CSC must receive the e-mail notification of
the file upload from SAFE before the deadline.
There may be a delay for the SAFE web site to notify NPC CSC of file upload.
Therefore, candidates are highly encouraged to submit their LTB early.
f. Candidates are authorized to submit more than one LTB, instead of
waiting until the deadline to submit one all-inclusive LTB. LTBs forwarded
for consideration by the selection boards will not be added to the
candidate's OMPF, except for award citations accurately reflected in the Navy
department awards services (NDAWS) website, per ref (f).
