Hello all,
Long time lurker.
I will be coming on active duty after 4 year HPSP and then civilian deferred 5 year residency through the NADDS program (Navy Active Duty Delay for Specialists. I was reading on BUPERS that those coming on active duty less than one year prior to the May 16 LCDR board selection meeting will be placed in deferred status unless the service member writes the board and requests to be reviewed by the board for selection. Am I interpreting this right? I thought selection to LCDR was pretty much automatic. Any one have a similar experience?
Thank you in advance!

That's absolutely right. Look for the NAVADMIN message that comes out around December timeframe, which announces the convening boards, and explains what you have to do. Because you'll be in a civilian training program, you might not hear about this and it's easy to lose sight of. I'd bookmark the
NAVADMIN messages webpage and look diligently for that message. Here's what it looked like in DEC2013 (when i cared about it, read paragraph 6 in detail):
