Alrighty then... After the corrupt database and successful server move someone recently asked for the Chief's thread so here it is. If you have any words of wisdom or questions  please chime in.

FY25 CPO Selection Board Precept

Any word on when packages are due?  The NAVADMIN is usually out by now but I have been unable to find it.

It's very late compared to the last 3-4 years. Nothing official yet, but word is boards should adjourn OOA July 19th with results OOA August 19th. Last year, the LTB due date was Monday, June 12th. If we are in the same ballpark or date range guesstimate LTB to be due for AC boards OOA Monday, June 10th this time.

Have Triads been made aware of those who are board eligible yet?

Question for people familiar with the board - I've had some people say not to include things already in your record, others say to do so to call attention to specific items. Is there any sort of consensus here, on whether to submit duplicates, or to simply make comments on the letter in reference to items in my crowded OMPF?

You will get differing opinions depending on the CPO or above you consult. The consensus has been to include items not captured in OMPF field codes 30-38 and call-out items that may be visible on OMPF (SOY NAM, FLOC, JOint/Other Awards, etc.). Just know everything you add must be reviewed and briefed by the person who gets your file.  

These two vids give a rough breakdown of the briefing scenario: 

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DxMTzkPshhNw&ved=2ahUKEwik-ZyJgI6GAxVeNlkFHZ2lCfwQtwJ6BAgQEAI&usg=AOvVaw0aN8VEEePIYP3zjlHLJl8F 

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DPlHtztMpnJQ&ved=2ahUKEwik-ZyJgI6GAxVeNlkFHZ2lCfwQtwJ6BAgSEAI&usg=AOvVaw2WX_A7OF-BJjYwhRUaLl9j 

In my opinion, if you think it speaks to meeting or exceeding the eligibility framework on your enlisted career path (ECP/LADR) and you want it to stand out, add it to your package/LTB. Keep your enclosures to the lowest number possible while reaching your goal. 

You are your greatest advocate!!

Okay for EESBD, do you all keep the default reference there or change it to the NAVADMIN for this board i.e for this year will be NAVADMIN 088/24?

Per the guide: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Portals/55/Boards/Selection/ESSBD USER GUIDE (v5).pdf?ver=k35dhjXSjsirN3SVaSmktQ%3D%3D

"The Reference Line can be edited. Click into the reference and change the pre-populated reference.
Only one reference will be allowed."

 

However, I am certain there will be a healthy mix of edits and non-edits. A number of folks are still extremely confused by the two-step submission process via the ESSBD and likely will not even think about updating the reference as long as they ensure their full name and DODID are on each enclosure, as stated in the NAVADMIN. 

 

Per the NAVADMIN, the only ESSBD guidance is:

" 5.  Record review and communication with selection board:  refer to reference 
(f). 
    a.  LTBs should be submitted via the Electronic Submission of Selection 
Board Documents (ESSBD).  If unable to use ESSBD and for more information on 
LTBs, visit the following link: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-
Management/Boards/Active-Duty-Enlisted/General-Information/. 
    b.  All LTBs and each enclosure must contain the candidates full name and 
10-digit Department of Defense (DOD) identification number. Candidates must 
verify that the correct board number is on their signed cover letter.  Board 
numbers are: 
        (1) Board #335 for SELRES. 
        (2) Board #336 for TAR. 
        (3) Board #360 for AC. "

 

So, if you have the full name, DOD ID, and correct board number ... you should be fine. IN THEORY....

ok. Thank you.

SELRES and TAR quotas are out: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-Management/Boards/Reserve-Enlisted/CPO-Selection-Boards/

 

[YN Merchant Mariner]

Of course, what this shows me is that I ain't got a snowball's chance. If I didn't make it when they had quotas for 53, when this year they only have 17 and my latest eval is yet another "brand new to the unit with just enough time here that we can't give a NOB so 3.0 P"...

[Preston Hart]

Does anyone have an idea when the quotas for FY25 CPO board might come out? Last year they came out before the board in June, so I was just curious. Thanks!

Reserve boards ended 8JUN and Quotas dropped 11JUN to GEN POP. 
 

Board members are usually only ones privy to quotas until after they adjourn.

 

At that rate, we are looking at the week of 22nd.

[CEC42CBs]

AD Quotas are out: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Portals/55/Boards/Active Duty Enlisted/Documents/FY-25 AD/FY-25_Active_CPO_Quotas.pdf?ver=aL6BpCEeX80_Xs0g95JLuQ%3d%3d

Why so late? They released quotas early as hell I believe. Thought pinning was September 16th?

Pinning is slated for 27SEP-29SEP for most areas from what I’ve been hearing .. Eval’s will undoubtedly be backdated to 15SEP per standards.

releases have not been on schedule since Covid. The new normal is no normal until it’s normal again 

 

Quota release has been consistent: week after boards adjourn 

 

[ChristianSubmariner]

Good luck to all. Next year will be my best shot. If not then im retiring couple years anyway. 

[stazz1987]

Been several years since I've posted here and I lost my original account.

This is my 11th consecutive year up for board. Next week also marks 18 years of service. I just wanted to impart some wisdom.

Get off the computer, especially social media. The board has adjourned and nothing will change the results. Go enjoy your family. The school year is fast approaching and you won't have much more time to enjoy the kids.

Don't live your summers each year with results in mind. Make your family vacation plans and live your life. It's easy to cancel plans and come back for season, but hard to make plans if you're buried in your feelings over non-selection.

If you aren't selected, it's ok. You will be ok. Feel your feelings, then get back at it. Congratulate those you know that made it and don't compare yourself to anyone on the list. Comparison is the thief of joy. Look at your ECP/LADR and work on it. You don't have to be finished by November. A PIM to cover your time between eval and next year's LTB due date is an over-looked asset. If you need to study, work on your study plan.

If you are selected, congratulations! Trust the process.

Good luck to all.  At 17 Years TIS, I'm planning on shore duty and retirement.  This isn't my life and the Navy will move on as well.
