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 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. BE AWARE THAT CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKES THREE TO FIVE DAYS TO POST TO THE MBS AND THE OMPF. 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. DATA ON THE HEADER OF THE MBS IS EXTRACTED FROM MCTFS. IF HEADER DATA IS INCORRECT OR INCOMPLETE OFFICERS MUST CONTACT THEIR ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTING UNIT TO UPDATE MCTFS INFORMATION IN ORDER FOR THE CORRECT INFORMATION TO APPEAR ON THE MBS. UPDATED INFORMATION ENTERED INTO MCTFS MUST POST TO MCTFS AT LEAST FIVE WORKING DAYS PRIOR TO THE CONVENING DATE OF THE BOARD IN ORDER TO BE ON THE MBS IN THE BOARDROOM. THEREFORE, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT OFFICERS REVIEW THEIR OMPF AND MBS IN A TIMELY MANNER. IF DEFICIENCIES, MISSING INFORMATION, OR UNREADABLE DOCUMENTS ARE PRESENT IN THEIR OMPF, OFFICERS ARE PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THE PROBLEM OFFICIALLY WITH CMC (MMSB-20). ENSURE ANY MATERIAL SENT TO CMC (MMSB-20) FOR FILING IN THE OMPF CONTAINS FULL NAME, GRADE, AND LAST FOUR OF THE SSN PER REF D. IF LAST FOUR OF THE SSN IS NOT ON THE MATERIAL, RESEARCH REQUIREMENTS MAY DELAY FILING THE MATERIAL IN THE OMPF BEFORE THE BOARD CONVENES. 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 OF THE BOARD'S CONVENING DATE IS REQUIRED TO BE ELECTRONICALLY FILED IN THE OMPF. SEE REF E FOR THE SPECIFICATIONS REQUIRED FOR THE SUBMISSION OF DIGITAL PHOTO. PER THE GUIDANCE IN REF E, 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 REF E. FOR THE PURPOSE OF PHOTO CLARITY, THE PHOTO SHOULD BE TAKEN AGAINST A PLAIN BACKGROUND. REF E SPECIFIES THE UNIFORM FOR THE OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHS FOR FEMALE MARINES AS SERVICE "C" WITH SLACKS. OFFICERS SHOULD CONFIRM RECEIPT OF THE PHOTO BY CONTACTING CMC (MMSB-20) OR BY CHECKING THE MMSB HOMEPAGE. THE PHOTO IS VIEWABLE USING THE "MY OMPF" TAB ON MOL. 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 YOUR PHOTO, PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE DATE THE PHOTO WAS TAKEN. OFFICERS DESIRING TO CONFIRM THE DATE OF THE PHOTO FILED IN THE OMPF SHOULD CALL CMC (MMSB-20) OR VIEW THE PHOTO THROUGH THE "MY OMPF" TAB OF MOL. HARD-COPY PHOTOS ARE NOT ACCEPTED AT CMC
(MMSB-20) AND WILL NOT BE FILED IN THE OMPF. 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. REFER TO 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. BY LAW SUCH PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS MUST BE IN WRITING AND RECEIVED OR HAND-DELIVERED TO HARRY LEE HALL NO LATER THAN MIDNIGHT (EASTERN TIME) ON THE DAY BEFORE 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 MATERIAL SUBMITTED.
  D. 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 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 FY12 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, E.G., 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 LETTER IS AVAILABLE AT THE OFFICER PROMOTION HOMEPAGE);
    (2) THE COVER LETTER MUST BE ADDRESSED TO PRESIDENT, FY12 USMC AJAG SELECTION BOARD (SEE PARAGRAPH 6A FOR COMPLETE ADDRESS);
    (3) UPDATE MATERIAL MUST BE FROM THE ELIGIBLE OFFICER; AND
    (4) THE OFFICER MUST SIGN THE COVER LETTER. MATERIAL SUBMITTED THAT IS NOT IN WRITING, SUBMITTED WITHOUT A SIGNED COVER LETTER, OR RECEIVED AFTER MIDNIGHT ON THE DAY BEFORE THE DATE THE BOARD CONVENES 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 RECEIPT OF THE MATERIAL.
