Mobilized Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) personnel are considered under the SELRES requirements for advancement. 2. Timeline. a. 29 February 2016: Individual Augmentation (IA) evaluations used for Time-In-Rate (TIR) waivers must have an ending date by this date and must be available to the board. b. 16 April 2016: Reserve Component (RC) candidates changing rating must be in their new rating by this date to be considered for selection in the new rating. c. 25 April 2016: Letters to the Board (LTB) for RC selection board eligible candidates must be received at Navy Personnel Command (NPC) Customer Service Center (CSC). d. 16 May 2016: RC E7 advancement selection board convenes. All eligibility requirements, to include any waivers, must have final approval prior to this date. e. 20 May 2016: Active Component (AC) board candidates changing rating must be in their new rating by this date to be considered for selection in the new rating. f. 31 May 2016: LTB for AC selection board eligible candidates must be received at NPC CSC. g. 3 June 2016: RC E7 advancement selection board scheduled to adjourn. h. 20 June 2016: AC E7 advancement selection board convenes. All eligibility requirements, to include any waivers, must have final approval prior to this date. i. 15 July 2016: AC E7 advancement selection board scheduled to adjourn. 3. Eligibility Criteria. Candidates must meet the eligibility requirements outlined in chapter 2 of reference (a) prior to the scheduled board convening date. Requirements that are achieved after the scheduled board convening date will be considered late and not entitle a candidate for an enlisted special selection board. The authoritative source to determine selection board eligibility is the profile sheet. The AC/FTS cycle is 230 and the SELRES cycle is 098. Because eligibility status can change without direct notification, candidates should verify their profile sheet on a continuous basis up to the board convening date. Commands must verify the Exam Status Verification Report (ESVR) weekly. The ESVR is updated as changes are processed by PERS-802. If necessary, take the following actions per reference (a). a. If listed candidates on ESVR are ineligible or later become ineligible, submit a message to Naval Education and Training Professional Development and Technology Center (NETPDTC) N321 and NPC PERS-802 requesting invalidation of eligibility status and provide explanation for invalidation. Per reference (a) paragraph 721.b., withdrawal of advancement recommendation must be completed and documented prior to message transmission. b. If candidates are validated in wrong competitive category, submit a message notification to NETPDTC N321 and NPC PERS-802 detailing the discrepancy. c. Candidates who do not have a recommendation for advancement on their most recent evaluation shall be invalidated. Evaluations that restore a recommendation for advancement must be made available to the selection board prior to the board convening date. d. Terminal Eligibility Date (TED) used to compute the TIR is 1 January 2017. The minimum TIR date must be on or before l January 2014. If a TIR waiver is granted, the evaluation used to grant the TIR waiver must be available to the board. e. High Year Tenure (HYT) date or approved HYT waiver must be on or after 1 September 2016. f. SELRES candidates who have submitted a request to NPC for voluntary transfer to the retired reserve (with or without pay) on a date prior to their mandated HYT are ineligible for advancement. Members who were validated as Selection Board Eligible (SBE) and have submitted a request for voluntary transfer to the retired reserve (with or without pay) may regain SBE status provided disapproval of the original request or cancellation of previously approved request is adjudicated at NPC prior to selection board convening date. Otherwise, they are ineligible. Commands must revalidate members whose disapproval or cancellation of retirement authorization is adjudicated prior to selection board convening date by sending an e-mail with reason for revalidation to PERS-802. g. Commissioning Programs. Candidates who have been selected for Seaman to Admiral (STA-21), Medical Enlisted Commissioning Program (MECP), and Medical Service Corps (MSC) in-service procurement programs remain eligible for advancement consideration. Selection to any other officer commissioning program renders candidates ineligible. Commands are required to request those candidates be invalidated by PERS-802. Per reference (b), nuclear candidates will be assigned Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) 3359/3389 upon transfer of a nuclear propulsion plant operator to a non-nuclear billet at sea or ashore, or to duty under instruction including special college education programs. Therefore, nuclear candidates transferred to a STA-21 duty station will not be selection board eligible. h. Security Clearance. Candidates in a rating requiring a security clearance must have a favorable investigation adjudication issued by the Department of Defense Central Adjudication Facility. If the candidates commanding officer grants an interim clearance, documentation must be received by PERS-802 prior to board convening. Refer to reference (c) for additional guidance. Once Sailors have a clearance they must maintain that clearance eligibility. Rates requiring a security clearance are AC, AE, AG, AO, AT, AWF, AWO, AWR, AWS, AWV, AZ, CTI, CTM, CTN, CTR, CTT, EOD, ET, FC, FT, GM, HT, IC, IS, IT, ITS, LN, MA, MC, MN, MT, ND, OS, QM, SB, SO, STG, STS, and YN, as well as all nuclear and submarine ratings. This guidance supersedes reference (a). i. Branch class (BRCL) and special program indicator (SPI) code. The Navy accounting status for BRCL 32 Sailors must be verified via the command's Enlisted Distribution Verification Report (EDVR). BRCL 32 with a blank SPI code is an invalid Navy accounting status. 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 (BCNR). Sailors in this accounting status as of the board convening date will be invalidated. j. Refer to reference (d) regarding examination options for Sailors who are pending deployment to, or are deployed and operating in Iraq, Afghanistan, or the Horn of Africa. Commands must submit the command letter of transmittal per reference (a). The in-theater selection board eligibility waiver is not an automatic process. k. Competitive group specific eligibility requirements. Candidates must meet special requirements (citizenship, medical, etc.) for certain ratings as outlined in paragraph 204 of reference (a). Commands must verify and submit a message to NETPDTC N321 and NPC PERS-802 requesting examination invalidation of those selection board eligible Sailors who no longer meet the qualifications listed in reference (a) or below by the scheduled board convening date. (1) Air Traffic Controllers (AC) must possess a valid FAA 7220-1 ATCS Certificate and meet requirements established in NAVMED P-117. (2) Aerographers Mate (AG) must complete the Aerographers Mate Class C-1 course and hold the 7412 NEC. (3) To ensure the best possible candidates are selected for chief petty officer, ATI and ATO board eligible personnel are merged into one competitive group. (4) Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) personnel. To be eligible for advancement to E7, Sailors must hold the Master EOD Technician NEC 5337. (5) Navy Diver (ND) personnel must hold the first class diver NEC 5342. (6) Nuclear Trained Personnel. (a) Submarine Sailors in nuclear ratings must hold a supervisor NEC (3363, 3364, 3365, 3366). Additionally, these personnel must have qualified as Engineering Watch Supervisor (EWS). Acceptable documentation of EWS qualification includes an evaluation with EWS documented or a letter from the Sailors command forwarded to the board via the Sailors LTB. (b) Surface Sailors in nuclear ratings must hold a supervisor NEC (3393, 3394, 3395, 3396). Additionally these personnel must have qualified as EWS or Propulsion Plant Watch Supervisor (PPWS). Acceptable documentation of EWS or PPWS qualification includes an evaluation with EWS or PPWS documented or a letter from the Sailor's command forwarded to the board via the Sailor's LTB. l. Canvasser recruiter personnel are ineligible for advancement to E7. 4. Competitive Groups. It is the responsibility of the candidate and command to ensure that the candidate is listed in the correct competitive group and that any issue is identified and forwarded to PERS-802 prior to board convening. The below active-duty ratings are separated into competitive groups: a. CS, LS, YN Group 1 - Submarine Group 2 - All Others b. CTI Group 1 - Middle East and North Africa Group 2 - East and Far East Asia Group 3 - Latin and South America Group 4 - Eastern Europe c. EMN, ETN, MMN Group 1 - Nuclear (Submarine) Group 2 - Nuclear (Surface) d. FC Group 1 - All Others Group 2 - AEGIS e. MU Group 1 - Special Band Group 2 - Fleet Band 5. Record review and communication with the E7 advancement selection board. a. It is the responsibility of the candidate and command to ensure that the candidates Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) field codes 30 - 38 and Performance Summary Record (PSR) are up-to- date. Candidates should not include items in their LTB that are already included in their OMPF or PSR unless the OMPF version is unreadable or the PSR is incorrect. Candidates should check their evaluation continuity via BUPERS Online (BOL). Any evaluation gaps should be resolved by either submitting the missing evaluations in the candidates LTB or a statement in lieu of missing report per chapter 17 of reference (e). b. Communication to the board must originate from the individual Sailor and must be accompanied under the candidates signed LTB. Commands are not authorized to submit a message to NPC requesting information be presented to the board. Third party correspondence is any communication to the board which is not accompanied by the candidates signed LTB and will not be permitted. This supersedes reference (a). Information received that is not under a signed LTB or not received by NPC Customer Service Center (CSC) by the established deadline will not be presented to the board. To verify receipt of your LTB, go to https://ahdsedstws16.ahf.nmci.navy.mil/OA_HTML/npc.html or call the NPC CSC. c. The time and date LTBs are received in the NPC CSC inbox (central time zone) is the time and date used for deadline verification. Although late LTBs may be accepted by the NPC CSC, they will not be presented to the board. d. All LTBs must contain the Sailors full name and full social security number. Additionally, this information must be affixed and legible on all enclosures submitted. LTBs should be on plain white paper, paper clipped (no staples, binders, folders or tabs) and submitted under signed cover letter to the president of the board. Candidates must verify that the correct board number is on their signed cover letter. The board numbers are 335 for SELRES, 336 for FTS, and 360 for AC. e. The preferred method for submission of a LTB is by encrypted email to cscselboard(at)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. f. If the candidate is unable to send an encrypted e-mail, they may utilize the safe access file exchange (SAFE) website at https://safe.amrdec.army.mil/safe to transmit their LTB to cscselboard(at)navy.mil. In order for the LTBs to be considered by the board, the NPC CSC must receive the e-mail notification of the file upload from SAFE before the LTB deadline. g. If unable to email or use the SAFE website, candidates may use regular mail to the addresses below: (1) SELRES/Mobilized E7 Board: Navy Personnel Command Customer Service Center President FY-17 Reserve E7 Selection Board #335 5720 Integrity Drive Millington, TN 38055 (2) FTS E7 Board: Navy Personnel Command Customer Service Center President FY-17 Reserve E7 Selection Board #336 5720 Integrity Drive Millington, TN 38055 (3) Active E7 Board: Navy Personnel Command Customer Service Center President FY-17 Active E7 Selection Board #360 5720 Integrity Drive Millington, TN 38055 h. Certified or registered mail is not advised due to delays in handling. i. Candidates are authorized to submit more than one LTB, vice waiting until the deadline to submit one all-inclusive LTB. Although multiple LTBs are authorized, candidates should not duplicate previously sent information. j. The LTB deadline still applies to candidates who gain eligibility after the LTB deadline and before the convening date. If a candidate is working to fix an eligibility issue and expects to be selection board eligible prior to the board convening date, they may submit a LTB prior to the deadline. 6. Selection board results. Official results will be provided online via BOL to authorized command representatives prior to the release of the official results via NAVADMIN. Selectee profile sheets will be published by NETPDTC within 30 days of both reserve and active selection board results being released via NAVADMIN. Educational Services Officers (ESOs), who are registered users, may access results through the Navy Enlisted Advancement System (NEAS) website https://prod.neas.netc.navy.mil and individual Sailors may access personal profile sheets on Navy Knowledge Online (NKO); under the Career Management link, select Navy Advancement Center/My Advancement. 7.
