Board Preparation Guidance. Officers are advised to review reference (a) for guidance regarding submission of information, auditing the Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) and Master Brief Sheet (MBS), fitness reports, deferment of eligibility, and requests for non-selection prior to the convening date of the board. Officers may review reference (a) at the officer promotion homepage. Although mentioned in reference (a), the following guidance is provided. 3.a. Personal responsibilities. Each officer is personally responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of their OMPF and MBS before the date the board convenes. 3.b. Obtaining and Reviewing the OMPF. The primary and most expeditious means of obtaining and viewing the OMPF and MBS is through OMPF online via Marine Online (MOL). The MBS can also be obtained through the Manpower Management Records and Performance (MMRP) web site. Refer to reference (c) to determine what documents are appropriate for inclusion in the OMPF. 3.c. OMPF Document Submission Guidelines. Officers are personally responsible for correcting deficiencies, missing information, or illegible documents present in either the OMPF or MBS with CMC (MMRP-20). Per reference (c), ensure any material sent to CMC (MMRP-20) for filing in the OMPF contains full name, grade, and the Electronic Data Interchange Personal Identifier (EDIPI). If the EDIPI is not on the material, then the material may not be filed in the OMPF in time to go before the selection board. For corrections or updates to the Administrative Information Section of the MBS, contact your unit S-1 (General Officers should contact Senior Leader Management Branch (MMSL)) or Installation Personnel Administration Center (IPAC). For corrections, deficiencies, missing fitness reports, and date gaps to the Performance Evaluation Summary section of the MBS, contact (MMRP-30). Officers are reminded that any additions or deletions from their OMPF or MBS within the 12-month window should also be verified to ensure the accuracy and completeness of their record. OMPF documents can be e-mailed as a PDF attachment or OMPF documents can be mailed to CMC (MMRP-20), however, inclusion into the OMPF is substantially faster if the documents are e-mailed. See paragraph 4.d (MMRP) for OMPF inquiries and document submission points of contact. 3.d. OMPF Document Submission Timelines. It is imperative that documents submitted to CMC (MMRP-20) for inclusion in the OMPF within 60 days of a selection board be conspicuously marked "contains documents for FY22 (appropriate board) Promotion Selection Board". With the exception of fitness reports, officers are highly encouraged to ensure all OMPF documents are forwarded to and received by CMC (MMRP-20) at least two weeks prior to the convening date of the selection board in order to allow processing time to the OMPF. Officers are advised that the OMPF and MBS are distributed to the boardroom at least one week before the board convening date. Board-eligible records continue to be updated until the convening date of the board, however, officers are highly encouraged to submit all material no later than two weeks prior to the board for which they are eligible. 3.e. Career Advisors. The RAM-3 Career Advisory Cell provides OMPF review and career counseling for all members of the Reserve Component (AR, SMCR, IMA, IRR). To request counseling services, send an email to smb.manpower.cac(at)usmc.mil with your name, EDIPI, contact information and service you are requesting. More information can be found by accessing www.manpower.usmc.mil. Click on "Reserve Marine", "Personnel Management (RAM)", "Individual & Reserve Programs (RAM-3)", "Career Counseling". Reserve Brigadier Generals eligible for the Reserve Major General board should contact MMSL. Reserve Colonels eligible for the Reserve Brigadier General board should contact RAM-3. 3.f. Fitness reports. Fitness reports are due to CMC (MMRP-30) by the timelines noted in reference (d). Reports mailed directly to the president of the board will not be added to an officers OMPF. For fitness reports to become part of the OMPF, the reports must be submitted to CMC (MMRP-30). The automated performance evaluation system (A-PES) is the primary means of submitting fitness reports, however, reporting officials may e-mail pdf copies to the MMRP-32 organizational mailbox at smb.manpower.MMRP-32(at)usmc.mil, so long as the mailer's e-mail account can be confirmed as either the reporting seniors or reviewing officers .mil email address. If mailing a paper version of a report to HQMC, it is imperative that the forwarding envelope is conspicuously marked contains FITREPs for FY22 (appropriate board) selection board. Timely submission of fitness reports is critical for board-eligible members, as CMC (MMRP-30) will need time to review reports for accuracy and compliance. Commanders are ultimately responsible for the timely submission of fitness reports to CMC (MMRP-30) and ensuring adherence to all fitness report timelines noted in reference (d). 3.f.1. Date gaps must be corrected IAW chapter 8 and appendix F of reference (d). If missing reports are less than one year old, a reconstructed original is required. Copies of completed fitness reports over one year old must have all pages certified as true copies by either one of the reporting officials (RS/RO). For completion and submission of reports that are over one year old, it is preferable that the original reviewing officer complete the report, however, CMC (MMRP-30) may act as the reviewing officer on reports that are not adverse on a case by case basis. 3.f.2. Officers are reminded that requests for administrative changes to their fitness report records may take up to 30 days for completion. Due diligence for records correction timeliness restssolely on the officer making the request. 3.g. Reference (e) discusses the waiver of the annual physical fitness test (PFT) requirement for the CY 2020 semi-annual period. Marines are not authorized to conduct a PFT for score unless in an exception to policy as defined in paragraph 5 of reference (e). Marines who have conducted a PFT in 2020 prior to the publishing of reference (e) will retain their score. Marines may conduct a PFT to update their score up to 90 days following removal of the restrictions published in reference (e). Any Marine that failed the PFT in CY 2019 will be required to take the PFT within this period. All officers are to ensure that their PFT score is appropriately entered into MCTIMS, as per reference (e), no later than the day prior to the board convene date. 3.h. Communication with the Board. Each officer may communicate with the president of the board. Per reference (f), an officer eligible for consideration by a selection board convened under section 14101 of title 10, U.S. Code, may send a written communication to the board, to arrive not later than 10 calendar days before the date the board convenes. The information in this database is then up-loaded to the Internet so that officers can personally confirm receipt of the material via the officer promotion homepage. In addition, do not send duplicate copies of update material. Doing so causes CMC (MMPR-1) to again process the material and for the board to review duplicate copies of the material submitted. 3.i. Forwarding Communications to the Board. Officers may submit communications via U.S. mail, next-day packages, or fax. U.S. mail is not delivered directly to Harry Lee Hall. Therefore, anticipate a 2-3 day lag for further delivery to Harry Lee Hall. Commercial next-day carriers deliver directly to Harry Lee Hall, excluding weekends and holidays. Officers with the capability to scan their documents may send the scanned documents via e-mail directly to the organizational mailbox officerpromotions(at)usmc.mil. Ensure the e-mail subject line reads update material for the FY22 USMCR (appropriate grade) Promotion Selection Board. 3.j. Update Material. Officers may submit to the board any written information, to include written material they deem important for consideration. OMPF materials sent directly to the board president will not become part of an officer's OMPF. Although officers may submit any material as update material, officers should contact CMC (MMRP-30) before submitting fitness reports as update Material and CMC (MMRP-20) for any other OMPF materials. This process will ensure an officer's OMPF is appropriately updated. The following guidelines apply regardless of the means by which an officer submits material, e.g., mail, fax, e-mail, etc. 3.j.1. Update material must be in writing and submitted under cover letter with the update material as enclosures (a sample cover letter is available at the officer promotion homepage). 3.j.2. The cover letter must be addressed to President, FY22 USMCR (appropriate grade) Promotion Selection Board (see paragraph 4a for complete address). 3.j.3. Update material must be from the eligible officer, and the officer must physically sign the cover letter. Digital signatures are authorized on e-mail submissions. Material that is not submitted in writing, is submitted without a signed cover letter,or is received later than 10 calendar days before the date the board convenes as noted below, will not be submitted to the board. Selection To Component Convening Date Due Date MajGen Reserve 11 Sep 20 31 Aug 20 BGen Reserve 2 Sep 20 22 Aug 20 3.k. Update Material Receipt Verification. Update material sent via email will receive an e-mail confirmation. The e-mail confirmation receipt is the official notification that CMC (MMPR-1) has received your update material, and will be provided to the president of your board. No further action is required on the officer's part. 3.l. Classified Reports. Eligible officers whose records contain classified reports should notify CMC, Officer Promotion Section, (MMPR-1) as soon as possible. Notification should include the Marines' full name, EDIPI, grade, occasion, and dates of the report(s). CMC (MMPR-1) will confirm the existence of the report(s) and ensure its consideration by the board. 3.m. Request for Non-Selection.
