RMKS/1.  This NAVADMIN announces the convening of the February 2020 Active-
Duty Officer Lateral Transfer and Redesignation Board.  The lateral transfer 
and redesignation process is a key tool by which the Navy manages the talents 
of its officers.  It provides flexibility in officer community manning and 
improves the Navy return on investment in officer training and education by 
leveraging the specialized skillsets of officers throughout their careers.  
As part of the process, applications from qualified unrestricted line, 
restricted line, staff corps and non-off-ramp limited duty officers (LDO) are 
now being accepted for the Active-Duty Officer Lateral Transfer and 
Redesignation Board, which convenes on 25 February 2020.  Officers in LDO 
off-ramp communities requesting to redesignate with their parent community, 
Full-Time Support and Selected Reserve officers are not eligible to apply for 
this board.
All officers considering applying for lateral transfer or redesignation 
through this board are strongly encouraged to familiarize themselves with 
references (a) through (l).  Board results will be posted on the NPC Bupers-3 
Active-Duty Lateral Transfer and Redesignation Board website via MyNavy 
Portal at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/career-planning

2.  Applicants must meet eligibility requirements detailed in references (a) 
through (c) and are required to review and comply with any additional 
community requirements found in the February 2020 Lateral Transfer and 
Redesignation Board Letter of Instruction (LOI), which can be viewed via MNP 
at: https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/career-planning/overview.
    a.  Officers who do not meet eligibility requirements in line with 
references (a) through (c), such as time-in-grade, years-of- commissioned 
service or time-in-service must submit a waiver request in addition to, or in 
conjunction with, their lateral transfer and redesignation application as 
specified by specific communities.
    b.  All application packages must include a letter from the current 
commanding officer, acknowledging their review of the application.  It should 
include their positive or negative endorsement of the application of the 
officer and specifically address any waiver requests by the officer.  These 
letters must be dated within 60 days or less of the application deadline.
    c.  Active Component LDOs in the supply corps (651X), information warfare 
(68XX) and submarine (629X) communities are designated for off-ramp as listed 
in references (k) and (l).  Those who desire to redesignate within their 
parent communities should submit their requests in line with reference (k) 
and (l) vice this board.

3.  Submit applications and waiver requests (as required), using the format 
in reference (b) via e-mail to BUPERS- 3_latxfr.fct@navy.mil.  The e-mail 
subject line should reflect February 2020 Lateral Transfer Board.  If no 
means of electronic correspondence are available, hard copy application 
packages can be sent via U.S. Postal and Express Mail Services (to include 
FEDEX, UPS and DHL) to:

4.  Applications (including signed command endorsement) and waiver requests 
must be received no later than 21 January 2020.  After 21 January 2020, only 
current fitness reports will be accepted until ten days prior (14 February 
2020) to the board convening on 25 February 2020.

5.  Officers should confirm application receipt by emailing BUPERS- 
3_latxfr.fct@navy.mil.

6.  The LOI, which can be viewed via MNP at:
https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/career-planning/overview; provides officers 
with an indication of existing lateral transfer and redesignation 
opportunities, as well as year group (YG) limitations.
Designators indicated are authorizing a limited number of Active- Duty 
officers to transfer from their current community.  Each YG is subject to 
change prior to the board convening.

7.  Officers are required to list their lateral transfer and redesignation 
choice(s) by priority in their application.
Additionally, officers are required to include the following statement in 
their application:  *I (am/am not) either the subject of an ongoing criminal 
or military investigation of any kind, or pending charges for any improper 
behavior or misconduct.*
