their command to ensure they meet the specific requirements for positions

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.

will be required to compete for an extension and shall submit a command
endorsed e-Resume according to the timeline below.
