SELECTION OF PERSONNEL FOR
OVERSEAS SERVICE
The CO of the transferring command determines
suitability of personnel for overseas service. The CO
decides whether the member or dependents possess any
performance, disciplinary, financial, psychological,
medical, or physical attributes that would prevent them
from conducting themselves as representatives of the
United States in a foreign country.
This decision must be based on a series of steps
beginning with a detailer at CHNAVPERS (PERS 40)
or EPMAC nominating the member for overseas duty
and ending with a message/NAVGRAM to
CHNAVPERS (PERS 40 and PERS 462) from the CO
indicating the suitability of the member and dependents
for overseas duty. In the case of nondesignated
SN/AN/FN, the message must be addressed to EPMAC
with an information copy to CHNAVPERS.
Suitability screening includes reviewing the
member’s service record, drug and alcohol program
advisor (DAPA) and urinalysis screening, physical
readiness status, checking the medical and dental fitness
of the individual and his or her dependents, and
interviewing for suitability.
A face-to-face interview between the CO of the
transferring command, the service member, and
dependents, if any, is desirable. If this is not possible,
the CO must make sure such an interview is conducted
by an experienced and knowledgeable representative. In
all cases, the CO must sign the Report of Suitability for
Overseas Assignment, NAVPERS 1300/16. This
authority must not be delegated except to the officer
acting or to officers in charge of isolated detachments.
Upon request of the CO, a skilled interviewer (such
as a chaplain, command career counselor, command
master chief, Navy social worker, or specified family
service center staff member) may also be included to
determine overseas suitability.
Dependents must be screened even if the member
elects an unaccompanied tour. This is to make sure the
member does not have the potential for early return from
an overseas location because of an existing family
