Navy Reschedules Officer Promotion Boards

The fiscal 2007 active duty commander line promotion selection board has been rescheduled for April 7 and the active duty lieutenant commander line promotion selection board is now scheduled for April 20. The rescheduling of the commander board made it necessary to delay the lieutenant commander board by two days due to space constraints that limit the number of boards held simultaneously. The original commanders’ board in February was disbanded after it was discovered that written material not specifically approved by the Secretary of the Navy for distribution to board members was made available to members, both prior to and during the selection board proceedings. An investigation into the issue has begun. The officer who sent the unapproved material has been relieved, pending the outcome of the investigation.
