Administrative Boards have which of the following characteristics?

• A. Only handles promotion boards.
• B. Convenes and adjourns by Chief of Navy Personnel Command.
• C. Unrelated to screening processes.
• D. Mirrors procedures used in statutory boards; Every board besides promotion; Designator change; Command screening; School screening.

Answer: (D)

Administrative boards follow the same procedural framework as statutory boards, which ensures fairness and consistency across non-promotion personnel actions. This approach means they mirror the processes used in statutory boards for actions like designator changes, command screening, and school screening, applying to every board except promotion boards. That broad applicability and adherence to established procedures is what makes this description the best fit. The other options imply limits to promotions only, ignore the screening nature of these boards, or assign a single convening authority, which doesn’t reflect how administrative boards operate across multiple screening actions.
