What this publication covers

This instruction has been completely revised and provides overarching guidance for all subordinate SOY instructions. This revision expands the number of SOYs meritoriously promoted to Chief Petty Officer (CPO), modifies the SOY competitive cycle dates, provides specifics for SOY competition timelines, and revises the nomination format to align with the CPO selection board precept and convening order; it should be reviewed in its entirety.
— OPNAVINST 1700.10Q, paragraph 1, p.1, quoted from the official PDF

This instruction applies to all commands with Active Component, Reserve Component serving as full-time support, Reserve Component serving as Selective Reserve, and all Sailors working outside of the traditional Navy chain of command (e.g., Joint Commands, Federal Agencies).
— OPNAVINST 1700.10Q, paragraph 3, p.1
