Becoming an Officer
The enlisted to officer programs allow enlisted sailors in the United States Navy to become an officer if they meet the criteria specified for a particular officer program. Besides recommendations for the specific program you should be aware of what applies to all programs.
General Guideline:
- Your performance must be superior to your peers
- You should be a team player
- Keep your uniform & grooming above standard
- Be an expert in your field
- Continue your education as much as possible
- Sustained Superior Performance will give you the edge
Competition is tough but these programs allow top-notch Sailors to becoming an officer in the United States Navy. If you are interesting in one of these programs, you should first become familiar with the instructions that govern these programs. You can then gather the required information you will need when you talk to your Career Counselor, chain of command or Officer who has knowledge of these programs.
Corresponding with the Selection Board
Per NAVADMIN 220/19, Electronic Submission of Selection Board Documents (ESSBD) is the preferred method of submitting a Letter to the Board (LTB).
To utilize ESSBD, candidates must access document services through MyNavy Portal (MNP). If you are inside the network you can access it via this link https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/my-record or you can access it via the BOL main menu. From the BOL main menu, select "Navy Personnel Command Document Services," Start Process, Selection Board and LTB. On-screen instructions will direct the submitter thereafter.
Further information is available on the "General Information" page of NPC's "Active Duty Enlisted" link where you can also get further information if you are unable to use ESSBD.
