Final answer:
The member should contact BUPERS to inquire about the status of their promotion if it has not appeared on the ODCR within 60 days after submitting the NAVPERS 1421/7.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the promotion has not appeared on the member's ODCR within 60 days after submission of the NAVPERS 1421/7 to BUPERS, the correct action to take is to contact BUPERS to inquire about the promotion status. This step is necessary as BUPERS is responsible for processing these documents, and any delays or issues would be addressed by them.
It is essential for the member to follow up on the matter to ensure that the promotion is being processed as expected. other options such as requesting a new NAVPERS 1421/7 form, assuming that the promotion is automatically approved, or contacting the commanding officer for approval are not the correct procedures to follow in this scenario.
