selection board via the letter to the board (LTB) process.  NAVADMIN 
220/19 announced the introduction of a new application known as 
Electronic Submission of Selection Board Documents (ESSBD), 
accessible through MNP.  ESSBD improves the speed, transparency and 
confidence of receipt over current LTB submission methods, such as 
hard copy and e-mail submitted letters and related attachments. 
    a.  ESSBD is available for all promotion, advancement and 
selection boards. 
    b.  ESSBD provides board candidates with the capability to 
electronically submit LTBs in a standard, consistent format, with or 
without attachments and will allow the candidate to see (for content 
and clarity) exactly what will be delivered and presented to the 
board. 
    c.  To utilize ESSBD, candidates must access document services 
through MNP at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/my-record.
On-screen instructions will direct the submitter thereafter. 
    d.  Submission and subsequent receipt acknowledgement for LTBs 
submitted via ESSBD or other means does not constitute confirmation 
of eligibility for the boards to which LTBs are submitted.  If 
required, a full visual user guide is available through MNP 
athttps://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-promotion. 
    e.  LTBs must be received by Navy Personnel Command no later 
than 2359 (central standard time) (CST) 10 days prior to the 
convening date of the respective board, as noted below.  Submitters 
are cautioned to not wait until the deadline date to submit LTBs via 
ESSBD or other available avenues.

    f.  If unable to use ESSBD, the CSCSELBOARD(at)navy.mil mailbox 
account is capable of receiving encrypted correspondence in 
accordance with Department of Defense policy.  If sending a board 
package from a non-NMCI network (bumed.mil, eu.navy.mil, etc.), 
please review procedures listed in NAVADMIN 220/19. 
    g.  The written communication may call attention to the board, 
any matter concerning the record of the officer that the officer 
considers important.  Written communication may include, as 
enclosures, correspondence from any individual concerning the 
eligible officer.  Correspondence not originated by the eligible 
officer, including endorsement to the letter of the eligible officer 
and letters written on behalf of that officer, must contain a 
written acknowledgement by the eligible officer that he or she 
desires such correspondence be presented to the board. 
Correspondence without such an acknowledgement is considered third 
party correspondence and will be rejected without being presented to 
the board.  Classified correspondence will not be accepted. 
 
11.  All officers are reminded of their responsibility to ensure the 
completeness and accuracy of their official records prior to the 
convening date of the board. 
 
12.  Questions regarding LTB submission and continuation should be 
directed to MyNavy Career Center by calling 1-833-330-MNCC (1-833- 
330-6622/DSN: 882-6622) or e-mailing ASKMNCC(at)navy.mil. 
 
13.  Additional information concerning continuation is also 
available via MNP at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and-  
promotion/p-officer-promotion-resources-and-links, then click on the
