Notice of Convening FY-27 Active-Duty Navy Promotion Selection Boards – O4 Medical Corps Zone Size is Doubled!

Posted on Updated on

Below is the NAVADMIN that sets FY-27 promotion board dates and official promotion zones. The most striking change, which I highlighted, is that the zone size for O4 Medical Corps is effectively doubled since instead of it being 1 year of officers it is almost 2 years worth. This means some O3 MC officers will be in zone a year before they previously would have been. Time to read chapter 3 of The Wealth Captain and get those records ready!
