Officers offered CD must accept or decline the offer by responding via MOL no later than 2359 on 7 December 2023. Officers who do not respond to this offer by the deadline will be considered as having declined CD and will execute their existing EAS.<br>
3.b. Declinations. Only officers whose end of obligated service (EOS) ends prior to the report date to their specific program may decline orders. Officers eligible to decline this assignment have until 7 December 2023 to decline their selection. Officers who decline the offer of CD in conjunction with this selection will execute their current EAS IAW MCO 1001.65A. Officers who elect to decline their selection are deemed as resigning in lieu of orders. Officers who resign in lieu of orders will exit the service NLT the last day of the month they were required to report to their future unit. Officers choosing to resign in lieu of orders will exit the service no later than 31 June 2024.<br>
3.c. Officers who screen on the CY23/FY25 Captains and Majors Promotion Boards must be selected for promotion to retain their selection status.<br>
