Selection Overview • FTS O-5 Command: • 116 total records • 14 Operational selects • 2 Special Mission selects (NRD or ETD OIC) • 13.8% board selection rate (16/116) • SELRES O-5 Command: • 22 total applicants • 10 Operational selects • 45% selection rate (10/22) • FTS/SELRES board selection rate: 18.8% (26/138)
Diversity Statistics FTS / SELRES
RC Statistics • FTS JPME • 73/116 eligibles complete 63% • 13/16 selects complete 81% • SELRES JPME • 2/22 applicants complete 9% • 0/10 selects complete 0% • FTS Major Staff • 52/116 eligibles 45% • 16/16 selects 100% • FTS #1 Department Head • 85/116 eligibles 73% • 16/16 selects 100%
Measures of Success • Best and Fully Qualified Standard • Record of sustained superior performance in Operational Environments • War fighting ability and tactical excellence • Potential to serve in positions of greater responsibility • Department Head performance was the most critical determinant for selection, but overall strength of record played heavily due to the large number of #1 ranked Department Heads • Other Considerations: Break out in first shore (production valued) and second sea tour, Major Staff, Masters, JPME, CDO/OOD, IA/GSA • Diversity of assignment locations/scope/responsibility viewed as a positive Best and Fully Qualified Selected for Command
FITREP Guidelines • Long #1 ticket as OPSO/MO or both was a discriminator in selection • Larger summary groups increase record strength • Double-tap EP, especially from different reporting seniors sent strong message to the board • Individual trait average matters, especially in high-water FITREPs • Large deltas b/t summary group & reporting senior averages (RSCA) = good • “Resetting” of reporting senior GPA, if required, should be clearly explained • Soft and hard breakouts are essential for top ranking officers. Lack thereof sends a negative message to the board • FITREP recommendations for future career milestones are important • Consistent message/recs in a tour &over the officer’s career matter • Recommendations for something other than operational command sends a clear message to the board, especially on a detaching HW FITREP
FITREP Guidelines • Documentation of community/peer awards, nominations, qualifications, education, and IA/GSA are essential & should be included in a FITREP • More effective than a letter to the board • Explain unusual circumstances in the FITREP • Perceived decliner due to promotion (Super JO/Training O tour) • Early roller for an Aide billet, hard fill job, etc. • Again, more effective than a letter to the board • Block 41-use as much space as needed • Efficiently/effectively communicate to the board • Some white space OK, in fact desired • Use intro/conclusion to communicate individual soft/hard breakouts, make recommendations for promotions & future career milestones (OP CMD, OP DH, MAJ CMD, CAG, CVN)
Letters to the Board • Most effective Letters to Board (LTBs) explain a poorly written, incomplete, or future FITREP: • Explain extraordinary situations • Highlight undocumented achievements • Early pull for a Flag Aide, hard fill or transition • Least effective letter: “Great Officer…Must Pick” • A well written FITREP will preclude the need for a LTB!! • LTBs can draw undue attention to a weakness (e.g., “Timing forced me to roll him two days before a COC”) LTBs: Recommend submit if information not otherwise in record
Officer Records • Officers must routinely review their records • Community Detailer/Assistant Recorder reviews are a “courtesy” only • ~ 1000 pieces of correspondence received for the FY18 ACSB • Most common problems with records: • Missing/gapped FITREPs • Missing awards/citations, quals (CDO U/W, etc.), & advanced education • An unkempt record can bring into question the officer’s attention to detail • Board correspondence does not update/fix permanent record It is your record. Keep it up to date!
Command Qualification • CNO directed • Comply with prerequisites for command per: • OPNAVINST 1412.14 • CNAP/CNAL/NAVAIR/CNAFRINST 1412.2 • CNAP-CNAL 1412.3 • Includes Oral Board • “Grandfathered” • Officer must have completed Aviation DH tour before 4 June 2013 • Those that failed, declined, or did not complete oral board were not eligible
