1. Sending in certificates that don't have names on them.
2. Sending in LTBs past the due date.
3. Not signing your LTB.
4. Terrible quality products. Don't use your nokia cell phone camera to "scan" a document into your LTB. The images are poor and it's just a sloppy/lazy product to submit for YOUR PROMOTION BOARD.
5. Sending in unnecessary documents. Look at your PDS/PSR. If "MTS" is listed in your PDS, there is really no need to send in the certificate from 2013...........
6. Not addressing odd things in your record... If you broke sea/shore rotation, tell the board member WHY! If there is something that is funky, ELABORATE for the person reviewing your record. "I didn't follow sea/shore rotation because of availability of billets and I included an email from my detailer stating he/she is sending me back to back shore against my desires". Don't leave it up to the board members to guess why something looks weird.
7. MTS. If you were at a training command that did not have/offer an MTS program, address that in your LTB!!!
8. EVAL GAPS!! FIX THESE TODAY. If your November 2020 eval isn't in your record, kiss your chances goodbye. This also includes smaller gaps throughout your PSR.
9. A 35 page LTB. Members only have so much time to review your record, the more time they are reviewing your LTB is less time they have to review your evals. My PERSONAL RECOMMENDATION is less than 10 enclosures, but of course, it's YOUR LTB.
Other items:
1. Do your PPME/SEJPME. ESPECIALLY if you do not have a college degree.
2. The Selection Board brief on MyNavy HR is accurate. If your interested on the actual process, review that powerpoint.
3. Make sure your PSR/PDS/OMPF are accurate. Some people, believe it or not, have other peoples evals/awards/NJPs in their record. Don't let that happen to you. Review your stuff, especially if you are eligible for advancement.
Career Summary:
So if you ask 100 board members, 50 of them will like them, 50 of them won't. My PERSONAL recommendation..let your record speak for itself and don't submit one. If you are going to submit one, only include data from your current paygrade or the past 5 years (which ever is greater). If we are making Chief Petty Officers, I could care less if you were the honor grad in A-school.
Hope that helps a little!
Good Evening Guns to CTRCS,
I was wondering if there was guidance as to the weight / consideration that having a JSCOM with "C" device or a Combat Action Ribbon would have to the board?
