6.  The application form (NAVPERS 1400/2) can be downloaded from the NPC web 
site at: http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-
npc/reference/forms/NAVPERS/Pages/default.aspx

7.  The signed application must be endorsed by the members commanding officer 
(CO) and forwarded directly to their cognizant force/fleet master chief 
(FORCM/FLTCM).  The FORCM/FLTCM will forward endorsed applications to Mr. 
Donald Marshall via e-mail at donald.p.marshall(at)navy.mil or will return 
the endorsed application to the member for submission to Mr. Marshall.  In 
circumstances where the applicant does not have, or is assigned to a joint 
command without a FORCM/FLTCM, the application should be sent to Mr. Marshall 
by the commands senior enlisted leader (SEL), provided the SEL is not 
eligible for advancement on the board for which the applicant is submitting.  
If you are unsure of your circumstance please contact Mr. Marshall.

8.  Do not use request chits and do not forward applications through your 
commands administrative support personnel, including those of the command 
master chief (CMC), CO or those of your FORCM/FLTCM.
This will compromise board membership and invalidate your application.  
Applications go directly to the CMC.  Forms received from, or routed through 
individuals other than the applicant or the FORCM/FLTCM, except as specified 
in paragraph 7 above, will not be considered.

9.  Board membership will be held in the strictest confidence.  Once an 
application is submitted Commander, Navy Personnel Command (CNPC) has ordered 
a policy of non-disclosure.  Do not discuss applications or selection, if 
chosen, to serve on a board with anyone other than the CO, reporting senior, 
CMC, chief of the boat, cognizant FORCM/FLTCM, or board support personnel at 
NPC.  It is appropriate for a CMC to be told by a member in the command of 
that members board service.  However, the CMC may not disclose their own 
service on a board to anyone other than the CO.  Failure to adhere to this 
policy is a direct violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.  It 
will result in removal from the board and possible administrative or 
disciplinary action by CNPC.

10.  Careful consideration should be given to a nominees availability to 
serve as a selection board member.  CO concurrence for the nominee to 
participate on a board is required.  COs, CMCs, and the applicant should 
understand that once selected, the member is under official orders to the 
board and requests for removal from board duties will not be granted except 
in extreme cases as specified in reference (a).

11.  Points of contact:  Mr. Donald Marshall at (901) 874-3223/DSN
882 or via e-mail at donald.p.marshall(at)navy.mil or LCDR Joseph Gueary at
