2.  Solicitation MARADMINS will be released for each board and panel
respectively with specific eligibility requirements and coordinating
instructions.  Each MARADMIN will have specific deadlines and
requirements and should be adhered to accordingly.
3.  Personal responsibilities.  Each Marine is personally
responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of their
Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) and Master Brief Sheet (MBS)
before the date the board or panel convenes. The most expeditious
means of obtaining and viewing the OMPF and MBS is through the
OMPF-Record Management Application (O-RMA).  Refer to reference (b)
to determine what documents are appropriate for inclusion in the
OMPF.  Marines should verify any additions or deletions from their
OMPF or MBS within the 12-month window to ensure the accuracy and
completeness of their record.  In accordance with reference (c)
boards and panels will evaluate OMPF photographs.
4.  Each of these opportunities requires the Marine to meet the 
associated obligated service requirement. Marines who do not
currently possess sufficient retainability must submit a 
reenlistment or extension request in accordance with the current
retention campaigns, via the Total Force Retention system (TFRS)
for consideration and approval prior to execution.
5.  This MARADMIN is applicable to the Active Component.
6.  Release authorized by MajGen Fridrik Fridriksson, Director,
Manpower Management Division.//
