GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  AS ANNOUNCED BY REF A, THE FY07 U.S. MARINE
CORPS CAPTAIN PROMOTION SELECTION BOARD WILL CONVENE ON 6 FEB 06, AT
HARRY LEE HALL, MARINE CORPS BASE, QUANTICO, VA.
2.  PROMOTION BOARD.  THE BOARD WILL CONSIDER TWO CATEGORIES OF
OFFICERS:  ABOVE-ZONE AND IN-ZONE.  OFFICERS DEFINED AS ACTIVE-DUTY
LIST (ADL) IN REF B ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE BOARD.  OFFICERS WHOSE
LINEAL CONTROL NUMBER (LCN) PRECEDES THE SENIOR OFFICER IN-ZONE ARE
DEFINED AS ABOVE-ZONE.  THOSE ABOVE-ZONE OFFICERS WHO HAVE NOT BEEN
PREVIOUSLY CONSIDERED ARE DEFINED AS "ABOVE-ZONE, NOT PREVIOUSLY
CONSIDERED."  OFFICERS IN THIS STATUS ARE CONSIDERED BY THE BOARD TO
BE IN-ZONE.  OFFICERS MAY REVIEW REF B AND THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR THE
BOARD ON THE INTERNET AT THE OFFICER PROMOTION HOMEPAGE.  THE SENIOR
AND JUNIOR OFFICERS IN-ZONE ARE AS FOLLOWS (ENCL (1) OF REF B
APPLIES):
   SENIOR OFFICER IN-ZONE - 1STLT JEFFREY M. PHELPS

3.  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.  THE INTERNET INFORMATION
PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 11 OF REF A HAS CHANGED.  SEE PARAGRAPH 4
BELOW FOR UPDATED INTERNET INFORMATION.  ADDITIONALLY, ALTHOUGH
MENTIONED IN REF A, 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.  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 C ANNOUNCED THAT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WAS
ADDED TO THE MBS.  OFFICERS SHOULD REVIEW REF C 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).  PER REF (D), ENSURE ANY MATERIAL
SENT TO CMC (MMSB-20) FOR FILING IN THE OMPF CONTAINS FULL NAME,
GRADE, AND SSN.  IF AN SSN IS NOT ON THE MATERIAL, THE MATERIAL WILL
NOT BE FILED IN THE OMPF.  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 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 PHOTOS.  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 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 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 FY07 USMC CAPTAIN 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
LETTER IS AVAILABLE AT THE OFFICER PROMOTION HOMEPAGE);
       (2) THE COVER LETTER MUST BE ADDRESSED TO PRESIDENT,
FY07 USMC CAPTAIN SELECTION BOARD (SEE PARAGRAPH 4A 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 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
RECEIPT OF THE MATERIAL.
