These details and much more were released in NAVADMIN 072/22 on Feb.18.

Putting on the anchors of a Chief Petty Officer and joining the Mess is a pivotal moment in any Sailor’s life. Navy personnel officials recommended reading the message in its entirety to ensure each board evaluates all eligible sailors.  

The Reserve Component (RC) Board, which consists of the Selected Reserve (SELRES), mobilized Individual Ready Reserve and Canvasser Recruiter Sailors (Cycle 110), and Training and Administration of the Reserves (TAR) (Cycle 254) will convene on Jun. 6 and adjourn on Jun. 24. Key dates before that are:

Feb. 28: Individual augmentation evaluations used for time-in-rate waivers must have an ending date by this date and must be available to the board.

May 6: Reserve Component candidates changing ratings must be in their new ratings before this date to be considered in that rating by the board.

May 23:  Letter to the board (LTB) deadline for the RC E-7 selection board.

The Active Component (AC) (Cycle 254) board convenes on Jul. 5 and adjourns on Jul. 29.  Key dates before convening are:

Feb. 28:  Individual augmentation evaluations used for time-in-rate waivers must have an ending date by this date and must be available to the board.

Jun. 5:  AC board candidates changing ratings must be in their new ratings before this date to be considered in that rating by the board.

Jun. 20:  AC E-7 selection Letter to the Board (LTB) deadline.

For both boards, the Time in Rate (TIR) date must be on or before Jan. 1, 2020, and the terminal eligibility date used to compute TIR is Jan. 1, 2023. If an early promotion waiver is granted, the evaluation used in giving the waiver must be available to the board. High-year tenure (HYT) waivers must be approved before the board convening date. More details on HYT are in the NAVADMIN. 

Many ratings require security clearances to be in effect to be selected to chief. Currently, those ratings are AC, AE, AG, AO, AT, AWF, AWO, AWR, AWS, AWV, AZ, CTI, CTM, CTN, CTR, CTT, EOD, ET, FC, FCA, GM, HT, IC, IS, IT, LN, MA, MC, MN, ND, OS, QM, SB, SO, STG and YN, as well as all nuclear and submarine ratings.

Letters to the Board must come from the individual candidates. Each letter and enclosure must contain the candidate’s full name and 10-digit DoD identification number. 

The preferred method for submitting letters to the board is electronic. This service is available through the ESSBD option at BUPERS Online or My Navy Portal at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion.

Those unable to submit their letters electronically can still mail them in. However, they must be received by the board’s due date. Procedures for mailing board packages are in the NAVADMIN
