GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. As announced by reference (a), The FY 2021 Gunnery Sergeant (GySgt) Selection Board will convene on Tuesday, 20 April 2021 at Harry Lee Hall, Marine Corps Base, Quantico, VA, for a period of up to 8 weeks.
2. In accordance with reference (h), all correspondence submitted to the President of the board must be received no later than 10 calendar days prior to the board convene date. Communications received after 2359, Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) on 9 April 2021 will not be submitted to the board. Additional details about submitting correspondence to the President of the board can be found in paragraph 13b below.
2.a. The deadline to ensure that all Marine Corps Total Force System (MCTFS) and Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) related information is up-to-date is no later than 2359, EDT on 19 April 2021.
3. Professional Military Education (PME). The selection guidance (precept) for board members includes a reminder of the requirement for PME. Marines are advised to ensure that course completion information is included in their Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). Additionally, Marines are encouraged to review their Master Brief Sheet (MBS) to ensure their PME completion is reflected. The MBS is a tool and is not considered the official source documentation. As a reminder, Marines "eligible for selection" missing evidence of required PME will be briefed as "not fully qualified" for selection.
3.a. Per reference (b), the PME requirements for promotion to gunnery sergeant are as follows: Staff sergeants eligible for consideration to gunnery sergeant must have completed the MarineNet EPME6000AA Course and either the Resident Career School, the Career School Seminar Distance Education Program, or Resident Two-Week Reserve Career School if previously attached to the Selected Marine Corps Reserve (SMCR) to be considered fully qualified.
3.b. It is critical that eligible Marines ensure their record includes evidence of PME completion. All Marines who are eligible for consideration by the FY 2021 Gunnery Sergeant Selection Board must have PME requirements completed no later than 2359, EDT on 19 April 2021.

Per reference (c), all Marines who are serving or have served in a Special Duty Assignment (SDA) billet MOS of 0911, 8411, 8156, 0913, 8152, and 8154 will be exempt from completing resident PME course requirements for a period not to exceed 365 days after completion from the SDA tour. In accordance with references (b) and (c), the PME waiver applies to Marines who have been Relieved For Cause (RFC) or Good Of Service (GOS). Marines serving in an SDA are still required to complete all non-resident PME requirements.
5. All staff sergeants who have been properly recommended for Accelerated Promotion on fitness reports with periods ending between 27 August 2020 through 19 April 2021 will be considered for Accelerated Promotion by the selection board. Identification and eligibility of these Marines are contingent upon compliance with reporting procedures outlined in reference (e) and the timely receipt of the fitness reports by the CMC, Manpower Management Records and Performance, Performance Evaluation Section (MMRP-32), within 30 days after the end of the reporting period.
6. In accordance with reference (j), Marines who did not conduct a combat fitness test prior to 4 December 2020 received a class 9, combat waiver due to COVID-19. This will not be a discriminator nor disqualifier for selection and promotion.

7.a.4. Remind Marines to prepare for their board prior to deployment.
7.a.5. Understanding that some Marines may require additional support to prepare for their board, encourage Marines to contact the CMC (MMRP-50) for assistance for assistance prior to the convene date of the board.

7.a.7. Ensure those eligible Marines who are voluntarily requesting not to be selected are counseled per reference (d) and submit their requests in the proper format. Paragraph 3102.2 also outlines additional responsibilities for commanders regarding the counseling of Marines on the promotion process.
7.a.8. Assist eligible Marines in correcting incomplete fitness reports and/or correction to Fitness Reports in accordance with the procedures outlined in chapter 8 and Appendix I of reference (e).
7.a.9. Ensure all reporting officials comply with the fitness report timelines noted in reference (e).
7.a.10. Immediately notify the CMC (MMPR-2) via naval correspondence of eligible Marines who have an erroneous DOR, AFADBD, or component code in MCTFS to preclude erroneous consideration or non-consideration.

The Naval Correspondence will be submitted to CMC (MMPR-2) giving a full, detailed accounting of the matter, whether the action occurred prior to the convening of the board, during the board, or while the Marine was a member of a previous command. Naval Correspondence should also be submitted regarding any eligible Marine who is administratively reduced, discharged, or is assigned to the BCP. Commanders are also reminded to make appropriate MCTFS entries, if warranted.

Identification of noncompetitive eligibility of Marines will be provided by Marine Corps Recruiting Command (MCRC) Officer Naval and Enlisted or the Separation and Retirement Branch (nurse program only) to CMC (MMPR-2) who will then ensure the records of all eligible Marines are forwarded to the board. Paragraph 1100.29 and chapter 3 of reference (d) apply.
13. Personal Responsibilities.
13.a. Marines are personally responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of their OMPF and MBS before the date the board convenes. Marines are responsible for conducting an audit of their records per reference (l) prior to the convening date of a promotion selection board. Marines may perform a self-audit by following instructions at the MMRP home page: www.manpower.usmc.mil, then click on "Active Marine", "Records and Performance (MMRP)", then click on "MMRP-50", followed by "Enlisted Counseling" link on the left, then follow the instructions provided.
13.a.1. Obtaining and Reviewing the OMPF. The 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 MMRP web site. The home screen of the MOL OMPF module states, the documents included there, with the exception of the "Field" tab and the "RS/RO Profile" tab, are the same documents that will be viewed by a promotion/selection board. Marines are responsible for ensuring any documents in their "Field" tab they want the board to view are moved into their "Commendatory/Derogatory" tab.
13.a.2. OMPF Document Submission Guidelines. Marines are personally responsible for correcting deficiencies, missing information, or illegible documents present in either the OMPF or MBS with CMC, Manpower Management Records and Performance, Records Management Section (MMRP-20). Reference (l) provides amplification to assist in determining what documents are appropriate for inclusion in the OMPF. 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 or may not be filed in the OMPF in time to go before the selection board. Marines 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 may be e-mailed as a PDF attachment or faxed to CMC (MMRP-20). OMPF documents may also be mailed to CMC (MMRP-20). However, inclusion in the OMPF is substantially faster if the documents are either e-mailed or faxed. See paragraph 15 (MMRP) for OMPF inquiries and document submission points of contact.
13.a.3. 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 The FY 2021 Gunnery Sergeant Selection Board". Marines are advised that the OMPF and MBS are distributed to the boardroom at least one week before the board convenes. Board eligible records continue to be updated until the convening date of the board, however, Marines are highly encouraged to submit all material no later than two weeks prior to the board for which they are eligible.
13.a.4. Classified Reports. Eligible Marines whose records contain classified reports should notify CMC, (MMPR-2) soonest possible. Notification should include the Marines full name, EDIPI, grade, occasion and dates of the report(s). Upon notification CMC, (MMPR-2) will confirm with the appropriate agency of the existence of the report(s), and as required, ensure for its consideration by the board.
13.a.5. Career Counselors. Marines concerned with specific aspects of their record are reminded that they may contact their respective career counselors CMC, Manpower Management Records and Performance, Enlisted Career Counseling and Evaluation Section (MMRP-50) by following the instructions listed on the website. CMC (MMRP-50) contact information is listed in paragraph 15.b.3.
13.b. Communication With The Board. Marines are entitled and encouraged to correspond directly with the President of the selection board regarding any issue pertaining to their record that they feel needs clarification or explanation. Additionally, it is the Marine's responsibility to correspond directly with the President of the selection board if there is classified information in their record that they wish to be viewed by the board. Classified information will not be viewed by the board without the request from the Marine in the form of a letter to the President of the selection board. Such personal communications must be received or hand-delivered to Harry Lee Hall no later than 2359, EDT on 9 April 2021 in accordance with reference (h). Reference (h) states, in part, that Marines may send a written communication to the board, to arrive no later than 10 calendar days before the date the board convenes. See paragraph 15 for physical mailing address, e-mail address and fax number.
13.b.1. Marines may submit communications via U.S. Mail, priority or next day mail, or fax. However, Marines should be aware that U.S. Mail, priority mail 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. Marines with the capability to scan their documents may send the scanned documents via e-mail directly to the organizational mailbox for CMC (MMPR-2). Ensure the e-mail subject line reads "Update Material for the FY 2021 Gunnery Sergeant Selection Board".
13.b.2. Update Material. Marines may submit any information or material they deem important for consideration before the board. Be advised that OMPF material sent directly to the President of the board does not become part of a Marine's OMPF. Update material sent to the President of the board is destroyed upon final approval of the board. Do not send fitness reports directly to the selection board.
13.b.2.a. Personal correspondence to the President of the board must be submitted under cover letter with the update material as enclosures (a sample cover letter is available at the Enlisted Promotions home page),
13.b.2.b. The cover letter must be addressed to President, FY 2021 Gunnery Sergeant Selection Board (see paragraph 15 for complete address),
13.b.2.c. Personal correspondence to the President of the board must be from the eligible Marine,
13.b.2.d. The Marine must personally sign the cover letter. Material submitted without a cover letter, unsigned, or received after 2359, EDT on 9 April 2021 will not be submitted to the board.
13.b.2.e. Personal correspondence Receipt Verification. Marines are personally responsible for ensuring CMC (MMPR-2) has physically received update material before 2359, EDT on 9 April 2021 and may verify receipt of the material sent to the President of the board via the Enlisted Promotions home page or by contacting CMC (MMPR-2). This website will populate within one week of the convening date.
13.b.2.f. In order to verify receipt of material sent to MMRP, (i.e. material for inclusion to the OMPF) go to OMPF online via MOL. This site updates within approximately 24 hours after the material is received. MMRP will push the information to the digital board room.
14. Height and Weight Standards. Eligible Marines must be in compliance with the height/weight standards prescribed in reference (i). Fitness reports submitted under reference (e) must contain a directed comment in the Section I of the fitness report if the Marine exceeds height/weight standards and is not in compliance with percentage body fat limits.
