SELECTION BOARDS.//

RMKS/1.  This NAVADMIN announces the process for assignment of enlisted 
participants for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Active-Duty Navy and Navy Reserve 
Master Chief Petty Officer (MCPO), Senior Chief Petty Officer (SCPO), and 
Chief Petty Officer (CPO) Selection and Screening Boards.  The experience 
gained from exposure to the board process is beneficial to all senior 
enlisted leaders (SEL).  Every MCPO, not otherwise restricted from 
participating in an enlisted board, is expected to serve as a member of one 
or more selection boards over the course of their tenure as a Master Chief.  
In order to ensure our board membership requirements are met, immediate 
superior in command (ISIC) and/or type commander (TYCOM) leadership are 
encouraged to seek out the best board member candidates within your purview 
and provide those names to the Membership Branch Head, copying the Naval 
Personnel Command (NPC) Force Master Chief (FORCM).

2.  Master Chiefs are encouraged to apply for membership in accordance with 
the dates listed in paragraph 6.  Once that date has passed, Master Chiefs 
will be assigned as board members pending vacancies not filled via the 
application process.  Master Chiefs assigned as enlisted Selection Board 
Members will be notified of their assignment by the Selection Board 
Membership Branch Head.
Once notified, they will have five (5) working days to submit an Enlisted 
Selection Board Member/Recorder Application (NAVPERS 1400/2).

    d.  Must not be the subject of an investigation of any kind.

immediately preceding or following the scheduled board.

4.  If any of the criteria referenced in section 3 are met, assigned members 
must specify that in their response with the NAVPERS 1400/2 attached.  In the 
event a member, or a members command, feels mission or job scope would 
prevent them from assignment to a specific selection board, direct 
correspondence attesting to that is required from the potential members first 
flag officer in their chain of command to Commander, NPC.

CMC/COB, CO, cognizant FORCM/FLTCM, or board support personnel at NPC.  It is 
appropriate for a CMC/COB to be told by a member in the command of that 
members board service; however, the CMC/COB may not disclose their own 
service on a board to anyone other than the CO or next echelon ISIC.  Failure 
to adhere to this policy is a direct violation of the Uniform Code of 
Military Justice and will result in removal from the board and possible 
administrative or disciplinary action by DCNP.

13.  Careful consideration should be given to a nominees application and 
availability to serve as a board member.  CO concurrence is required.  Do not 
recommend personnel that are under an investigation of any kind or those with 
severe medical issues.  If the CO initiates or becomes aware of an 
investigation after the initial nomination is submitted, notify the points of 
contact below immediately.  COs, CMCs, COBs, and applicants should understand 
that once selected, the member is under official orders to the board and 
requests for removal from board duties will not be granted except in extreme 
cases as specified in reference (a).
