consideration by a PSB convened under references (e) and (f).
Reference (d) delegates approval authority to the Chief of Naval Personnel

requirement is delayed by the assignment or education.
b. The exclusion from consideration is in the best interest of the
Department of the Navy.
c. The officer has not previously failed of selection for promotion to

d. Officers that require deferral for more than one FY must annually
submit a new request to defer consideration.
5. Staffing and review. Officer requests shall be reviewed by a panel of,
at a minimum, an Officer Community Management Branch
(BUPERS-3) URL community manager (for nuclear trained officers the Officer
and Enlisted Nuclear Programs Policy Branch (OPNAV N133), shall be included
on the panel), a Navy Personnel Command Career Management Branch (PERS-4)
officer detailer and one additional officer, all senior to the officer
requesting to defer PSB consideration. The panel will forward its
recommendation to CNP via the community sponsor of the officer.
6. URL community sponsor review. The URL community flag officer sponsor for
requesting officers shall provide a recommendation concerning all PSB
deferral requests. The community sponsor should consider the documented
performance history of the officer and ability to provide future benefit to
the Navy. For disapproval recommendations, the community sponsor shall state
the reasons for the disapproval recommendation.
7. Officers will be notified in writing via e-mail of approval or
disapproval of their request no later than 45 calendar days before the
proposed convening date of the first FY-24 PSB.
8. Officers that are approved for PSB deferment, but are subsequently
determined to be below-zone, will be considered below- zone by the FY-24 PSB.
Officers selected for promotion in subsequent years after deferring FY-24 PSB
consideration will be placed into a new promotion year group based on their
resulting date of rank. Those officers will be considered by future
administrative and statutory PSBs with the new promotion year group. The
records of officers with approved deferrals of promotion consideration will

Call for Photos and Messages for RDML Hancock’s Retirement
The Medical Corps Chief’s Office is putting together a parting gift for RDML Hancock in honor of his retirement in August. We want to collect messages from the Corps and pictures that we will compile into a book for him. We want to highlight the accomplishments that he has had throughout his career and the people that he has influenced/affected over his 40 years of service. Please distribute this request widely as many may have retired and are not on the current distribution lists. We are hoping to cast this net as widely as possible so we can get messages and photos from throughout his distinguished career.
POC: Please send all photos and messages to CDR Jennifer Eng Kulawy (contact in the global) NLT July 8th, 2022.
Thank you for your help with this project.
