FY26 O4 and O5 Promotion Board Convening Orders and Promotion Opportunities
PERS just released the FY26 O4 and O5 promotion board convening orders. They can be found at the bottom of this post, but here are the promotion opportunities from page 2. Here is O4:
Here is O5:
FY26 O6 Staff Corps Promotion Opportunities
On page 2 of the just released convening order, you can find the promotion opportunities for O6 in FY26:
Here’s the full convening order:
FY26 Promotion Board Community and Merit Re-Order Briefs
On this page you can find the PPTs below. These are the slides that promotion board members review before they start a promotion board. They are to serve as a guide for who is selected for promotion and merit-reorder, so they can serve as a good resource when trying to plan your career (I wrote a post about how I’d use them here).
What is a “Don’t Pick Me” Promotion Board Letter? Why Would You Send One?
If you go to the Navy Active Duty Officer Promotions Page, you’ll find this at the bottom:
Sample “Don’t Pick Me” Letter to the Board
Removing the introductory portion, here is what the meat of this letter says:
- Per reference (a), please do not select me for promotion by the FY-[XX] [ActiveDuty Navy/Navy Reserve] [Grade] [Line/Staff Corps] [Competitive Category] Promotion Selection Board.
That’s it. All it says to the promotion board is, “Don’t pick me.”
Why would or should a physician send a letter requesting NOT to be considered by a promotion board? Here are a few reasons:
- You know that you are resigning/separating, not joining the Reserves, and will not be hanging around long enough to accept the promotion.
- You are an O4 or O5 who is retiring but you know that if selected for promotion you won’t accept it – Why would someone not accept a promotion? Because a promotion to O5 or O6 obligates you for 3 more years if you intend to retire. And the Navy still isn’t letting anyone get out early. If you want to get out as fast as possible with a 20 year retirement, taking a promotion to O6 in year 18 means you must stick around until year 21 at least.
So…if #1 or #2 above are applicable, consider sending a “Don’t Pick Me” letter. Make sure, though, that you are 100% POSITIVE that nothing in your situation will change. Lots of people who think they are going to get out, not join the Reserves, or want to retire right at 20 years later change their mind.

3. For promotion to the grade of lieutenant, an All-Fully- Qualified-
Officers List (AFQOL) consisting of those officers recommended for promotion
on their most recent fitness reports will be sent to the Secretary of the
Navy, who will certify the AFQOL and forward the list to the Secretary of
Defense. Those officers determined not fully qualified for promotion will be
omitted from the AFQOL, constituting a failure of selection. The All-Fully-
Qualified (AFQ) standard applies to all designators. The AFQ standard will
also be utilized for any officers administratively missed when the original
lists were compiled.
4. Officers in the grades of lieutenant, lieutenant commander, and commander
are eligible for consideration for promotion only if they have served
continuously on either the RASL or Active-Duty List (or a combination of both
lists) during the one-year period ending on the date of the convening of the
promotion board. Accordingly, officers returning to an active status from a
period of inactive or broken service (USNR-S2, discharge) are eligible for
consideration for promotion only after continuously serving in an active
status for one full year. Membership in the Individual Ready Reserve does
not qualify for deferment of eligibility for consideration.
5. Only eligible officers may communicate with a promotion 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 MyNavy Portal (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 will be available for all promotion 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 use ESSBD, candidates must access document services through MNP at
https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/my-account/my-profile?redirect=%2Fgroup%2Fmy-
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 at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/my-account/my-
profile?redirect=%2Fgroup%2Fadvancement-and-promotion
e. LTBs must be received by Navy Personnel Command not later than 2359
Central Standard Time (CST) 10 days prior to the convening date of the
respective board, as noted below. Submitters are cautioned not to wait until
the deadline date to submit LTBs via ESSBD or other available avenues.

f. If unable to use ESSBD, the CSCSELBOARD@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 Navy Marine Corps
Intranet 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 returned without being presented to the board.
Classified correspondence will not be accepted.
6. Questions regarding LTB submission should be directed to MyNavy Career
Center by calling 1-833-330-MNCC (1-833-330-6622/DSN: 882- 6622).
7. The Secretary of the Navy has authorized the Reserve Active- Status List
line and staff corps promotion boards for the grades of captain, commander,
and lieutenant commander to reorder their recommended promotion list based on
particular merit as allowed by section 14108 of title 10, U.S. Code. An
officer may be placed higher on a promotion list only if the officer receives
the recommendation of at least a majority of the members of the board.
For officers recommended to be placed higher on a promotion list, the board
shall recommend the order in which those officers should be placed on the
list.
8. All officers are reminded it is their responsibility to ensure their
personnel records are accurate and complete.
9. This NAVADMIN will be canceled for record purposes on September 30, 2026.

How to Be Considered for Promotion if You’ve Been on Active Duty for Less Than 1 Year
The FY26 promotion board NAVADMIN was released. If you are in-zone or above-zone for an upcoming promotion board but you’ve been on active duty for less than 1 year, you should read paragraph #8:
8. In-zone and above-zone eligible officers in the grades of chief warrant
officer 2/3/4, lieutenant, lieutenant commander, and commander, whose
placement on the active-duty list is within one year of the convening dates
of these boards, are automatically deferred unless they specifically request
to be considered. The officer may waive this deferment and request
consideration for promotion, in writing, emailed to
NPC_Officer_SELBD_Elig_Waivers.fct@navy.mil or mailed to:
Commander, Navy Personnel Command (PERS-802)
5720 Integrity Drive
Millington, TN 38055-0000
For in-zone and above-zone eligible line officers in the grade of commander,
the request must be received by PERS-802 not later than 2359 CST 15 days
prior to the convening date of the respective board. For in-zone and above-
zone eligible staff corps officers in the grade of commander, in-zone and
above-zone eligible line and staff corps officers in the grade of lieutenant
commander and lieutenant, and in-zone and above-zone chief warrant officers,
the request must be received by PERS-802 not later than 2359 CST 30 days
prior to the convening date of the respective board. Specifically:

What does this mean and why would it apply to you? Maybe you had prior service, you went to medical school, and now you’re a senior LT who is in-zone for LCDR right away. Maybe you did a civilian NADDS residency and you are in-zone right away for LCDR. There might be other situations that would put you in this position, like getting time-in-grade credit for other experience.
If you believe you are in this position, here is what I’d do:
- Confirm you are in-zone or above-zone. How can you do this? The easiest way if you are MC is to read Chapter 3 of The Wealth Captain. Or you can use your date or rank and the zones spelled out in this NAVADMIN. Or you can hunt down your Corps’ lineal list, which are probably floating around as they are usually released in mid-DEC. Often they are posted on your Corps’ Sharepoint page or e-mailed out by your Specialty Leader.
- If you wish to be considered for promotion to LCDR, CDR, or CAPT, do what it says above. Send the letter simply requesting this. Here is the template as well as an example with some additional info from an officer that sent a letter (he said I could post it):
Also, here is a great article on this topic from the August 2018 Medical Corps Newsletter:
