Officer selection boards review only officers' records and any communications from candidates directly to the board. The board is also given a roster of the eligible candidates listed in alphabetical order. Above and in-zone officer rosters are combined, so the status of the officer is not discernible. Only the officer portion of a record is viewable by the board.
The Officer Accessions, Evaluations, and Promotions, COMDTINST
M1000.3, (series)outlines the in-zone reordering tool available to all ADPL and RPA best-qualified promotion boards for ranks O-3 through O-6. The board chose to reorder 17 of those chosen for promotion. These officers are listed at the top of the list by order of precedence.
