For those who haven't seen this video, below I have attached a link that will provide some information in regards to the board process directly from PERS-8. The recording was dated a month before FY19 E7 selection board process but has relevant information. The video outlines what the board looks for, how adverse information may dictate the selection process, LTBs, and additional information in regards to the selection process. Good luck to all of you! https://youtu.be/34F2kehRAyA

@mslteck99 , Great job on getting the number one EP in your rankings! Alot of great awards, volunteering and community involvement. The only key thing I believe you are missing is documentation on your Job. I would suggest taking a look at the last CNO and MCPON PODcast in regards to what boards are looking for in order to promote better leaders in the warfighting effort. The number one thing is Job performance and how well you did in your rating. This aspect is identified to the board by the documented performance on your EVAL. The Navy is getting away from what it has been doing for the past decade and are searching for rating experts again. I wish this information was documented on your most recent EVAL. Hopefully your previous evaluations provide a more prominent outlook in regards to your rating. Good Luck!

Thanks for the info guys! I'm pretty junior to this. But I have been reading up on this forum and learning a lot from others. It's complicating yet rewarding when trying to figure out my package. Good luck to all! 1st time up here.

I was talking to a master chief who went to the board, and he was telling me how the board process can be very routine. Looking though each package 1 by 1 and finding many similarities in every other sailors package. There is alot of packages with documented SSP then most can assume. And then all of the sudden out of no where you hear, "hey I got one"!. Does anyone here know what they look for to be that, "I got one" candidate? From what is posted on here seems like most FCPOs got the major checks in the block from PPME to major command collaterals and all in between. What makes it stand out?

It was a good exam. Easier then I expected. Hope everyone else did well!
