What is this year group you keep talking about? I've talked to 3 people who sat the board in previous years and none of them knows about that.

Maybe referring to allocating CPO advancement quotas by year group (year you joined the Navy)?  Never heard of this either.

Should be all the same for regular and substitute takes to the total eligibles... They don't separate them

Right, I just meant the 304 on his profile sheet or wherever may just be the regular exam, versus the 404 total eligibles. Just guessing anyway.

Some are the same numbers due to same scores... 

In addition, those 304 are probably the ones who took the regular exam.  There are additional eligibles from the substitute exam who may be counted as having taken the same exam.

You probably scored an 80 that says on your profile sheets

Yes, I did.  I've always scored 99th percentile and several times an 80.  Unfortunately, as stated above, doesn't help for the board.

You are correct. It's purely based on where you broke out with your final multiple score. Has no bearing on results. Just kinda cool to see how you did vs everyone else that took your exam.

Wish it did! Just checked mine and I'm 2 of 288!

So going through BOL today under the 'CCA' subsection, I noticed the board convene date changed from 210809 to 210810 for Active E-7 board. Anyone hear anything about boards shifting/possible delays?

Mine has also changed to 210810.

Now that the E8/E9 membership list is out.

To provide a little feedback; I was one of the recorders for this years E8/E9 active duty board and was one of the folks that reviewed a couple thousand LTBs.

We were really looking for 1 thing in electronic LTBs:

1. Was the letter submitted by the cut off time in the NAVADMIN

In the electronic version, you have to digitally sign them so that was always a non-issue. If you are submitting via email/snail mail, you must ensure they are signed.

 

Thanks, Senior.  This is valuable insight to those of us a) new to the process, b) without a mess to lean on, and c) as inside baseball.

Well glad to hear I'm not the only one who had issues. I agree with you. There should be better instructions. I would think the board now interprets it that this letter was generated with EESBD so it may not be formatted perfectly due to issues with the browser of your choice. As they say, don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough. 

Yeah, and the fact that the "final product" output squashes all of the enclosures into black-and-white disfigured images suggests (to me) that its purely the content they're looking at.

1. Yes.    2. So I just mean the signature at the bottom of the cover page. I just signed it with a V/r, and my rate/ rank. But in the Official Correspondence manual and in the examples in the Navy adancement manual  it's supposed to be centered at the bottom  and just Last name, Middle Initial, First Name. But with EESBD it probably doesn't even matter since honestly I don't think it's required.

Hmm...maybe a symptom of my browser issues, but I wasn't able to tab over and add a signature in that part of the letter (above where it digitally stamps your DoDID/name).  It looked awful left-justified so I just let the digital signature stand on its own.  Just glad I was able to get it submitted.  All of this discussion on ESSBD leads me to believe that if it mattered that much, there would be better direction or a better example provided.

How's everyone doing? Who's ready for selection this year?

Second time up for me...would have been very surprised last year, but feeling better about my chances this time.

So after I submitted my LTB I realized I didn't sign the letter correctly in the standard Navy correspondence format (do'h!). My first time submitting and didn't think it about it. However, I'm thinking that the board is looking for SSP, and your eval write ups are the most important factor to selection, so who knows if it will impact my selection or not, or if anyone cares.   

Did you submit via ESSBD?  Or which signature are you referring to?

I guess I'm not getting picked up since my LTB has only the cover with my DODID.  What a waste.

 

Honestly there's so little transparency/feedback from these boards its hard to say if anyone will even care or notice.  I wouldn't count yourself out until the results come out.  For all I know, nobody sitting the board cares about this.  On the other hand, I'd think the NAVADMIN has it for a reason.

Just a FYI:

When you submit your LTB via ESSBD, your DODID is included in the letter.  You don't have to put your DODID on every attachment like some seemed to infer.

 

Edit: I jumped the gun and replied without reading the rest of the responses.  Ahh, such is life.  2 days until SELRES adjourns.

 

 

You don't need to include it on the letter, since as you stated it will be automatically included.

However, this doesn't preclude the requirement to have the DoDID on every enclosure (attachment).  Per NAVADMIN 050/21:

Quote

All LTBs and each enclosure must contain the candidates full name and 10-digit DoD identification number. Candidates must verify that the correct board number is on their signed cover letter.

Any ideas on how to submit a LTB while PCSING. I have my keyboard, I can log into bol however document services or eesbd don’t load. I tried for a few hours yesterday and today, no luck. I’m in Sacramento on my way to the east coast. Thanks in advance guys and gals.

I submitted mine from home using a Windows laptop and Google Chrome.  Not sure if that helps at all.

Hindsight, and for next year if this year doesn't work out, you don't need to wait until the deadline to submit...

Yeah, I would try google chrome. That worked well for me. 

Worked for me as well.  Done and submitted - now we just wait.  Thanks for the assist.

If you use the EESBD system it will populate your DoD ID in the letter after you click submit. You will still have to give final approval to the letter before it goes to the board so you will get to see a fully created copy in your tasks, and your DoD ID will automatically populated in the letter. I had the same question, but had to go and remove the DoD ID I manually typed in.

That is what I thought would happen.  When I view the LTB on the Verify step, there is no DoD ID populated anywhere...perhaps a different browser is the answer...

edit: I see now you mean after signing the letter and reviewing for final approval in tasks, it will be there.  Thanks.

[FY-22 Chief Selection Board]

First time submitting an LTB.  Anybody include their DoD ID in the actual letter per the NAVADMIN, since it doesn't seem to be pre-populated anywhere?
