220/19 announced the introduction of a new application known as Electronic
Submission of Selection Board Documents (ESSBD), accessible through MyNavy
Portal. 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. Beginning 1 January 2020, ESSBD will be 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
MyNavy Portal 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 MyNavy Portal at
https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion.
e. LTBs submitted to statutory officer continuation selection boards
must be received by Navy Personnel Command (NAVPERSCOM) no later than 2359
(central time) 10 days prior to the convening date of the respective board.
Submitters are cautioned to not wait until the deadline date to submit LTBs
via ESSBD or other available avenues.
f. If sending a board 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 returned without being presented to the board.
Classified correspondence will not be accepted.
10. Questions regarding LTB submission should be directed to MyNavy Career
Center by calling 1 (833) 330-MNCC (1 (833) 330-6622/DSN 882).
11. Questions regarding continuation should be directed to NAVPERSCOM PERS-
801 at (901) 874-4533/DSN 882. Additional information is also available via
