4. Officer selection boards review only officers' records and 
any communications from candidates directly to the board. The 
boards are given eligibility rosters of the candidates in 
alphabetical order. Above and In-Zone officer rosters are 
combined so that the status of each candidate is not 
discernible. Only the officer portion of a record is viewable by 
the board.
5. In and above zone selection statistics for the O-6, O-5, O-4, 
and O-3 selection boards are provided below. There are many 
variables (e.g., changes in performance, group size, approved 
voluntary separations, etc.) that will cause selection rates to 
fluctuate from year to year. Documented sustained high 
performance is the best way to remain competitive for promotion.
