4. 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 PROMOTION
CONSIDERATION. OFFICERS ARE ADVISED TO REVIEW REF A FOR GUIDANCE
REGARDING SUBMISSION OF INFORMATION, AUDITING THE OFFICIAL MILITARY
PERSONNEL FILE (OMPF) AND MASTER BRIEF SHEET (MBS), FITNESS REPORTS,
PHOTOGRAPHS, DEFERMENT OF ELIGIBILITY, AND REQUESTS FOR NONSELECTION
PRIOR TO THE CONVENING DATE OF THE BOARD. OFFICERS MAY REVIEW REF A
AT THE OFFICER PROMOTION HOMEPAGE. ALTHOUGH MENTIONED IN REF A, 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. 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. 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 IN TO CMC (MMSB-20) FOR FILING IN THE OMPF CONTAINS
FULL NAME, GRADE, AND FULL SSN PER REFERENCE G. IF FULL 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 A 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 REFS C, D AND E FOR THE SPECIFICATIONS REQUIRED FOR
THE SUBMISSION OF DIGITAL PHOTOS. PER THE GUIDANCE IN REF F,
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 D AND E. FOR THE PURPOSE OF
PHOTO CLARITY, THE PHOTO SHOULD BE TAKEN AGAINST A PLAIN BACKGROUND.
REF H ANNOUNCED THE UNIFORM FOR THE OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHS FOR FEMALES
MARINES AS SERVICE "C" WITH SLACKS. OFFICERS SHOULD 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). HARD COPY PHOTOS 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. SEE PARAGRAPH 6B OF REF A 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. 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, 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 FY10 USMC (APPROPRIATE GRADE) 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, FY10
USMC (APPROPRIATE GRADE) SELECTION BOARD (SEE PARAGRAPH 5A 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.
