Officers being considered for promotion can send the board a written statement. The statement can raise anything the officer thinks is important to their case. It must arrive at least 10 days before the board convenes, and the board must consider it.

Subject to rules the relevant military department's Secretary sets, an eligible officer can write to a promotion board convened under section 14101(a). This applies to an officer who is in the promotion zone, above the promotion zone, or being considered by a vacancy promotion board. The officer can call the board's attention to anything about their record that they consider important to their case. The letter must be sent early enough to arrive no later than 10 calendar days before the board convenes. As long as it arrives on time, the board must give the officer's communication real consideration.
