Any eligible officer, whether in-zone or above-zone may communicate with a promotion selection board. Ensure your communication is sent about a week before the board to allow for processing. Any communication must arrive to the board the day before the board convenes. The communication should be in accordance with MILPERSMAN 1420-10A and may include as enclosures, correspondence form any individual (third party) concerning the eligible officer. No DIRECT third party correspondence is allowed. Classified correspondence will not be accepted.
