than 15 October 2024.  Do not use the electronic submission of selection 
board documents via Bupers On Line to submit packages.  Use the subject line,

the attached single-pdf package.  Additionally, the full name of the 
candidate and full social security number (SSN) (full SSN marked on top right 
of each page) must be on all pages of the package.  The package requirements 
contained in reference (b), are modified as follows, and will only include:

NAVPER 1070/613, Physical Fitness Assessment Summary and career summary 
letters will not be accepted. 
 
5.  Trouble with the file encryption or certificates or any other

email:  cselboard@us.navy.mil.
