Does anyone have a sample copy of their LTB enclosures and would like to share it here? I just need to know/see exactly where to put DoD number and name on each of the enclosures.  Also, does it have to by typed up or handwritten is okay too? Sorry guys, this is my first time submitting LTB lol.

Everything bottom right corner for mine. I created labels with full name SSN and “enclosure ( )”. And then I hand wrote my enclosure numbers once I decided my order.

Letter to the board submitted. 
 

Quick unrelated question, for unit awards, such as Meritorious Unit Commendations, if you were at the command at any time during the award window, you are eligible for said award correct?

That is my understanding. When I got my NUC, I  just submitted the NDAWS read out of the award period and something showing I was attached to the command during that time (like an eval) and had my admin submit it.

So for the pre formatted ltb all we do is put enclosure numbers on our documents and send. How do we explain things on the pre formatted version ?

You can either 1) type it into the letter (you can edit the text boxes or 2) type up a memo and attach it as an enclosure.

Finally got my award and got my LTB submitted with 6 enclosures. The new ESSBD proceeds was smooth and  simple.   Hope y’all have a good Memorial Day weekend!

Good morning all. If we sent a LTB through ESSBD, is there a notification from the system that it was received? 

You should be able to view your submission status. I attached the ESSBD user guide for reference. Look at last page.

I'm just trying to figure out if I have to justify the award or just enclose it and leave it up for interpretation.

I am sending my two flocs in just because they aren’t in OMPF. They are labeled on evals but I am sending them anyway because they are still rewards. My 2 cents

Good morning fellow first's, leadership and juniors.  Got a few questions maybe some of you can answer, just doing some brainstorming on what to do.  1.)  I received a FLOC date 24OCT19 however I was unaware I was receiving a FLOC and as most of you know, these things can take a few months before you get it in hand, long story short, I received it in December but it was dated for 24OCT and so it didn't make it to my eval.  Now If I submit this in my LTB, wouldn't someone ask the question of why it didn't make my eval thus making me look like I can't decide what to put on my eval.  2.)  I'm almost positive the deadline for LTB is 28 or 29 MAY, I complete my USMAP on 08June, is it possible to send in my USMAP cert as an addendum and if so, are there any cut off dates for that? I wish I could have done it sooner, I just didn't know it was going to be this close.  3.) Lastly, kind of an off-topic question but what is the correct verbage for an EVAL BLK 29 in IRT to the 20-1 cycle, is it 20-1 (????)  and i'm sure BLK 20 would be a W.  The reason I ask is because with the PRT incentive it used to look like this in BLK 29 for example  "PFA:  19-1/19-2.  (B-validated PRT)."  BLK 20 would have been PB.  

Thanks and I enjoy reading what all of you have to say.  It's informative and keeps the wheels turning. 

1). People get awards late compared to when they are actually dated all the time.

2). The deadline for AC FOR LTB is May 29th. Nothing can be submitted after that date. 
3). Nothing has been put out IRT PRT cycle 20-1. The entire cycle was suspended including BCAs, therefore “W” would be inappropriate. If anything it would be “N”. I would presume something official will come out on how to properly document it.

Hey kids! Long time, no see. I had a PSC from our PSD and the goat locker from my command tell me they got an email that the E7 boards are pushed to November. Any official word on this? 
 

when something is official, they will release a NAVADMIN. And I would say it’s safe to presume nothing will be officially put out until the travel ban is lifted. I’ve heard 3 different rumors this week. Just wait for the black and white of a NAVADMIN.

Finished my USMAP today and got the cert. now just need mY SOY award and my LTB is ready to go!

I'm waiting a few more days to see if updated awards record and qualifications from NSIPS appear in OMPF.  Also on NPC under Boards>Active Duty Enlisted>General Information it says you can still send LTB by encrypted e-mail if ESSBD is unavailable. 

Thanks for the heads up because it definitely does NOT say anything about that in the NAVADMIN. I know a lot of people that are having issues with the ESSBD. I waited till the LTB deadline last year for a submitted eval to show, so I submitted it.  The eval posted two days later to OMPF LOL

No you are right. A special eval written specifically for the board. Wasn’t sure if anyone’s ever had one. 

This would be the only reason I see why

[FY21 Chief Selection Board]

“Due to Cycle 106 exam delays, all SELRES E-7 candidates will have 
an additional three weeks to submit a Letter to the Board (LTB).  The new due 
date for LTB submissions will be 18 May 2020, which correlates to the 
original convening of the Reserve E-7 board.”

 

see NAVADMIN 121/20 for full details

anyone ever have a special evaluation put in for them and submitted that?

I guess I don’t really understand the question. If you received a special eval and wanted to make sure it was seen by the board of course send it. But the way you are wording the question makes it sound like the special eval was written for the purpose of the board and not because it was needed. Could be the whiskey talking though. 

[FY21 Chief Selection Board]

Coming up on a month left for the active LTB. How’s everyone else doing?  I finish my USMAP hours next week and just waiting on an award to be signed. 
 

Hope all your RC guys got your stuff in ok.

with the board most likely going to convene late, and hoping I do pick up this year. I hope they don’t shorten the season and keep it at the normal amount of time. I like most of you would like to participate in the whole season. 

Agreed!  Regardless, it would be a memorable year to be selected.

It's weird lying about your rank though. I wonder how SEJPME 2 completion is viewed by the selection board?

E6 opinion here, but all it says for ANY of the convening orders (E7-9) is Senior Enlisted Joint Professional Military Education. It doesn’t say which one (I or II). I would assumed it’s more of “SEJPME complete, check”. Seeing as that is labeled under the education and personal development section in the convening order, I would bet there are other things you could do to stand out more. But like I said, E6 opinion, what do I know?

FY-21 Reserve E8 and E9 results came out today. That is only 4 days behind the schedule they were released from for last year. What does that make you all think for AD results? Do we think it will be on time or delayed? I'm leaning towards on time because I don't want to wait any longer than that. Haha

That’s because the E8 and E9 reserve boards were already convened. The AD E9 Board was suppose to convene 30 March and E8 April 20 and neither convened. So yes, they will be late

You are still allowed to use the email as well correct? 
 
I am gonna double check the NAVADMIN also to verify. 

Nope. According to NAVADMIN it’s this new way or snail mail

Has anybody tried the ESSB out yet? I was just checking it out earlier to try and get my letter to the board template created to print out for my package to send to some people but when adding enclosure it says after two that the file space has been reached. Trying to figure out how to send the 10+ enclosures in one letter to the board. 

Make sure that your files are PDFs and not images to limit size of documents. With the new system the max upload for one LTB is 10MB. So you may have to submit more than one LTB if you are lookin at that many enclosures.

I believe this was brought up last cycle but what are some reasons that you think will help you get selected? Also what are some that may hurt you? 

Reasons that may help

-LPO, SSOQ

-Sailor development

-FCPOA cabinet member X2 w/ community & command impact

-Command and department collaterals w/impact

-filled CPO billet for 3 years

-IA tour Afghanistan 

Reasons why no “S”

-no college

-no MOVSM

-welcome aboard P

-missing eval in OMPF from 14 years ago (unfortunately I don’t have a copy of it)

Have you submitted a letter in lieu of missing eval to fill that gap?  If not, I have the template and cover sheet from fixing mine from last year.
