notify officers selected for continuation. An officer who is
selected for continuation shall be afforded an opportunity to
accept or decline the continuation. Those officers not selected

officers a reasonable period of time for personal planning. The
separation of an officer who declines continuation will be
considered as an involuntary separation under sections 580 and
637 of Title 10, U.S. Code, unless the officer voluntarily
resigns prior to the involuntary separation date.

prescribed by CMC (MMSR) per SECNAVINST 1920.7B.
