   official shopping list.  These individuals will be expected, and are
   highly encouraged, to submit realistic e-resumes that align with the
   afloat candidate correspondence.

   their command to ensure they meet the specific requirements for positions
   that require an endorsement and that an appropriate endorsement is
   included with each e-Resume submission. Failure to include an
   appropriate endorsement where required will prohibit a member from
   earning positions. Refer to reference (A) for additional guidance on
   endorsements.

   opportunities and extension endorsements through their command concerns.

   on the official shopping list, members will be required to compete for an
   extension and shall submit a command endorsed e-Resume according to the
   timeline below.
