5.  BOARD PREPARATION GUIDANCE.  EVEN THOUGH OFFICERS ARE SUBJECT TO
AN EVER-INCREASING PACE OF DEPLOYMENTS AND OPERATIONAL COMMITMENTS,
THEY STILL HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO PREPARE FOR CONSIDERATION.
OFFICERS ARE ADVISED TO REVIEW REF C FOR GUIDANCE REGARDING
SUBMISSION OF INFORMATION, AUDITING THE OFFICIAL MILITARY PERSONNEL
FILE (OMPF) AND MASTER BRIEF SHEET (MBS), FITNESS REPORTS, AND
PHOTOGRAPHS PRIOR TO THE CONVENING DATE OF THE BOARD.  OFFICERS
MAY REVIEW REF C AT THE OFFICER PROMOTION HOMEPAGE.  ALTHOUGH
MENTIONED IN REF C, THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE IS PROVIDED:
   A.  PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITIES.  EACH OFFICER IS PERSONALLY
RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THE ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF HIS OR HER
OMPF AND MBS.  DO NOT DELAY ACCOMPLISHING THIS REVIEW.  REQUESTING
AN OMPF OR MBS, MAILING DELAYS, AND ANY FOLLOW-ON CORRECTIVE ACTION
TAKES TIME.  OFFICERS ARE ADVISED THAT THE OMPF AND MBS ARE
DISTRIBUTED TO THE BOARDROOM IN ADVANCE OF THE CONVENING DATE.
THEREFORE, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT OFFICERS REVIEW THEIR OMPF AND MBS
IN A TIMELY MANNER.  REF D ANNOUNCED THAT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WAS
ADDED TO THE MBS.  OFFICERS SHOULD REVIEW REF D AND ENSURE THEY
ADHERE TO THE GUIDANCE PROVIDED.  IF DEFICIENCIES, MISSING
INFORMATION, OR UNREADABLE DOCUMENTS ARE PRESENT IN THE OMPF,
OFFICERS ARE PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THE PROBLEM
OFFICIALLY WITH CMC (MMSB-20).  AFTER CHECKING THEIR RECORDS,
OFFICERS WHO HAVE SPECIFIC CONCERNS ABOUT SOME ASPECT OF THEIR
RECORD MAY CONTACT THE CAREER COUNSELORS, CMC (MMOA-4) FOR
ASSISTANCE.  SEE PARAGRAPH 6 OF REF C FOR ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE
REGARDING THE OMPF AND MBS.  
   B.  PHOTOGRAPHS.  AN OFFICIAL PHOTO, TAKEN WITHIN 12 MONTHS FROM
THE DATE THE BOARD CONVENES IS REQUIRED TO BE ELECTRONICALLY FILED
IN THE OMPF.  SEE REFS E AND F FOR THE SPECIFICATIONS REQUIRED FOR
THE SUBMISSION OF DIGITAL PHOTO.  PER THE GUIDANCE IN REF G,
OFFICERS WHO ARE DEPLOYED MAY TAKE THE PHOTO IN UTILITIES MINUS THE
UTILITY BLOUSE.  THE TITLE BOARD WILL INCLUDE THE WORD "DEPLOYED"
DISPLAYED PROMINENTLY ACROSS THE TOP OF THE BOARD AS WELL AS ALL
OTHER INFORMATION REQUIRED BY REFS E AND F.  FOR THE PURPOSE OF
PHOTO CLARITY, THE PHOTO SHOULD BE TAKEN AGAINST A PLAIN BACKGROUND.
OFFICERS MAY CONFIRM RECEIPT OF THE PHOTO BY CONTACTING CMC
(MMSB-20) OR BY CHECKING THE MMSB HOMEPAGE.  BE ADVISED THAT
ALTHOUGH A PHOTO MAY BE OVER 12 MONTHS OLD, THE PHOTO WILL REMAIN IN
THE OMPF UNTIL AN UPDATED PHOTO IS SUBMITTED.  THEREFORE, WHEN
REVIEWING THE MMSB HOMEPAGE, PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE RECEIPT
DATE OF THE PHOTO TO ENSURE THE MOST CURRENT PHOTO SUBMITTED WAS
RECEIVED BY CMC (MMSB-20).  OFFICERS DESIRING TO CONFIRM THE DATE OF
THE PHOTO FILED IN THE OMPF SHOULD CALL CMC (MMSB-20).  OFFICERS WHO
SUBMIT A HARD-COPY PHOTO TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD MAY CONFIRM
RECEIPT OF THE HARD-COPY PHOTO THROUGH THE OFFICER PROMOTION
HOMEPAGE.  SEE PARAGRAPH 6B OF REF C AND THE MMSB HOMEPAGE FOR
ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE ON THE SUBMISSION OF PHOTOS.
   C.  COMMUNICATION WITH THE BOARD.  EACH OFFICER MAY COMMUNICATE
WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD.  SUCH PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS MUST
BE IN WRITING AND RECEIVED OR HAND-DELIVERED TO HARRY LEE HALL NO
LATER THAN MIDNIGHT (EASTERN TIME) ON THE DATE THE BOARD CONVENES.
HOWEVER, REQUEST OFFICERS SUBMIT SUCH PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS TO CMC
(MMPR-1) AT LEAST FIVE WORKING DAYS BEFORE THE DATE THE BOARD
CONVENES.  THIS FIVE-DAY PERIOD PROVIDES CMC (MMPR-1) SUFFICIENT
TIME TO REVIEW THE MATERIAL, RECONCILE DISCREPANCIES, AND ENTER THE
MATERIAL IN THE UPDATE MATERIAL DATABASE.  THE INFORMATION IN THIS
DATABASE IS THEN UP-LOADED TO THE INTERNET SO 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
MATERIALS SUBMITTED.
   D.  FORWARDING COMMUNICATIONS TO THE BOARD.  OFFICERS MAY SUBMIT
COMMUNICATIONS VIA U.S. MAIL, PRIORITY OR NEXT DAY PACKAGES, OR FAX.
U.S. MAIL AND PRIORITY AND NEXT DAY U.S. MAIL IS NOT DELIVERED
DIRECTLY TO HARRY LEE HALL, THEREFORE, ANTICIPATE A 2-3 DAY LAG TIME
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 FOR CMC (MMPR-1).  ENSURE THE E-MAIL SUBJECT LINE READS
"UPDATE MATERIAL FOR THE FY06 USMC AJAG SELECTION BOARD."
   E.  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.  ADDITIONALLY,
UPDATE MATERIAL IS DESTROYED UPON FINAL APPROVAL OF THE BOARD.
ALTHOUGH OFFICERS MAY SUBMIT ANY MATERIAL AS UPDATE MATERIAL,
OFFICERS SHOULD CONTACT CMC (MMSB-30) BEFORE SUBMITTING FITNESS
REPORTS AS UPDATE MATERIAL AND CMC (MMSB-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, I.E., MAIL, FAX,
E-MAIL, ETC.:
       (1) UPDATE MATERIAL MUST BE IN WRITING AND SUBMITTED UNDER
COVER LETTER WITH THE UPDATE MATERIAL AS ENCLOSURES (A SAMPLE COVER

SUBMITTED THAT IS NOT IN WRITING, SUBMITTED WITHOUT A COVER LETTER,
OR RECEIVED AFTER MIDNIGHT ON THE CONVENING DATE OF THE BOARD WILL
NOT BE SUBMITTED TO THE BOARD.
   F.  UPDATE MATERIAL RECEIPT VERIFICATION.  OFFICERS DESIRING TO
VERIFY THAT CMC (MMPR-1) HAS PHYSICALLY RECEIVED UPDATE MATERIAL MAY
DO SO VIA THE OFFICER PROMOTION HOMEPAGE.  OFFICERS ARE REMINDED THAT
UPDATE MATERIAL RECEIVED BY CMC (MMPR-1) TAKES APPROXIMATELY FIVE
WORKING DAYS TO BE REVIEWED AND ENTERED IN THE UPDATE MATERIAL
DATABASE, THEREFORE, OFFICERS SHOULD NOT EXPECT TO SEE THE
INFORMATION AT THE OFFICER PROMOTION HOMEPAGE IMMEDIATELY UPON
RECEIPT BY CMC (MMPR-1).  OFFICERS WHO SUBMIT UPDATE MATERIAL UNDER
THIS FIVE-DAY PERIOD SHOULD CALL CMC (MMPR-1) FOR CONFIRMATION OF
