The document answers frequently asked questions about changes to the deadline for sailors to submit conversion requests to the Enlisted Retention Board. The new deadline is August 15, 2011 to allow more time for sailors to complete necessary tests and submit full applications. Sailors eligible for conversion review include those not subject to separation under Perform to Serve rules, regardless of end of service date. Conversion requests will now be reviewed after the retention board chooses sailors for separation or retention in their current roles.
