What’s New in the FY22 O4 Promotion Board Convening Order?
TL;DR BLUF
- O4 promotion results will be delayed by 5-6 weeks because the board started late.
- Do Joint Professional Military Education.
- Be operationally relevant.
- Be a model of Honor, Courage, and Commitment and don’t get in trouble.
- Going to Guam or Japan certainly can’t hurt.
- Get board certified as soon as you can.
What’s a Convening Order?
Convening orders tell promotion board members what to look for when selecting people for promotion, so it is usually a good idea to examine them for changes. I’ll give you a summary of what is new. Here are the FY21 and FY22 documents:
Date of the Board
The board was delayed from March 24th to May 3rd. Expect the promotion results to be delayed by a similar interval.
Promotion Opportunities
The promotion opportunities changed:
- MC – decreased from 100% to 95% because that is the new maximum promotion opportunity
- DC – decreased from 82% to 73%
- MSC – increased from 60% to 65%
- NC – stayed the same at 80%
Rest of the Changes are Same as the FY22 O5 Convening Order
All the rest of the language changes are a carbon copy of the FY22 O5 changes, which you can read about here.
Translation Please?
What does this mean for an O3 in Navy Medicine? I think it means the following:
- O5 promotion results will be delayed by 5-6 weeks because the board started late.
- Do Joint Professional Military Education.
- Be operationally relevant.
- Be a model of Honor, Courage, and Commitment and don’t get in trouble.
- Going to Guam or Japan certainly can’t hurt.
- Get board certified as soon as you can.
