3. CONTINUATION BOARDS. UPON CONCLUSION OF THE PROMOTION SELECTION BOARD, THE BOARD WILL RECONVENE AS A CONTINUATION BOARD AS SPECIFIED BELOW. OFFICERS MAY VERIFY THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR CONSIDERATION FOR CONTINUATION BY CONTACTING CMC (MMSR). CMC (MMSR) WILL ADJUST THE MANDATORY RETIREMENT DATES AND/OR NOTIFY THE OFFICERS SELECTED FOR CONTINUATION, AS APPLICABLE, AFTER THE PROMOTION SELECTION RESULTS HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED. THE FOLLOWING CONTINUATION BOARDS WILL BE CONVENED:
A. THE FY15 USMC LIEUTENANT COLONEL LDO (SELECT) CONTINUATION BOARD WILL SELECT FOR CONTINUATION THOSE OFFICERS SELECTED BY THE PROMOTION SELECTION BOARD TO THE GRADE OF LIEUTENANT COLONEL WHO WOULD OTHERWISE BE SUBJECT TO INVOLUNTARY RETIREMENT DUE TO TOTAL YEARS ACTIVE SERVICE UNTIL THE OFFICERS HAVE TIME TO COMPLETE 3 YEARS IN THE GRADE OF LIEUTENANT COLONEL.
B. THE FY15 USMC MAJOR LDO (SELECT) CONTINUATION BOARD WILL SELECT FOR CONTINUATION THOSE OFFICERS SELECTED BY THE PROMOTION SELECTION BOARD TO THE GRADE OF MAJOR WHO WOULD OTHERWISE BE SUBJECT TO INVOLUNTARY RETIREMENT DUE TO TOTAL YEARS ACTIVE SERVICE UNTIL THE OFFICERS HAVE TIME TO COMPLETE 2 YEARS IN THE GRADE OF MAJOR.
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 GUIDANCE IS PROVIDED:
A. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITIES: EACH OFFICER IS PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THE ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF THEIR OFFICIAL MILITARY PERSONAL FILE (OMPF) AND MASTER BRIEF SHEET (MBS) BEFORE THE BOARD CONVENING DATE.
B. OBTAINING AND REVIEWING THE OMPF. THE PRIMARY MOST EXPEDITIOUS MEANS OF OBTAINING AND VIEWING THE OFFICIAL MILITARY PERSONNEL FILE (OMPF) AND MASTER BRIEF SHEET (MBS) IS THROUGH OMPF ONLINE VIA MOL. THE MBS CAN ALSO BE OBTAINED THROUGH THE MMSB WEB SITE. REFER TO REF D TO DETERMINE WHAT DOCUMENTS ARE APPROPRIATE FOR INCLUSION IN THE OMPF.
C. OMPF DOCUMENT SUBMISSION GUIDELINES. OFFICERS ARE PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING DEFICIENCIES, MISSING INFORMATION, OR ILLEGIBLE DOCUMENTS PRESENT IN EITHER THE OMPF OR MBS WITH CMC (MMSB-20). PER REF C, ENSURE ANY MATERIAL SENT TO CMC (MMSB-20) FOR FILING IN THE OMPF CONTAINS FULL NAME, GRADE, AND LAST FOUR OF SSN. IF THE LAST FOUR OF SSN 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. OFFICERS 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 CAN BE EMAILED AS A PDF ATTACHMENT TO CMC (MMSB-20). OMPF DOCUMENTS CAN ALSO BE MAILED TO CMC (MMSB-20); HOWEVER, INCLUSION INTO THE OMPF IS SUBSTANTIALLY FASTER IF THE DOCUMENTS ARE E-MAILED. SEE PARAGRAPH 5 (MMSB) FOR OMPF INQUIRIES AND DOCUMENT SUBMISSION POINTS OF CONTACT.
D. OMPF DOCUMENT SUBMISSION TIMELINES. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT DOCUMENTS BE SUBMITTED TO CMC (MMSB-20) FOR INCLUSION IN THE OMPF WITHIN 60 DAYS OF A SELECTION BOARD AND BE CONSPICUOUSLY MARKED "CONTAINS DOCUMENTS FOR FY15 (APPROPRIATE BOARD) SELECTION BOARD." WITH THE EXCEPTION OF FITNESS REPORTS, ALL OMPF DOCUMENTS, PARTICULARLY DIGITAL PHOTOS, MUST BE FORWARDED TO AND RECEIVED BY CMC (MMSB-20) AT LEAST TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THE CONVENING DATE OF THE SELECTION BOARD IN ORDER TO ALLOW PROCESSING TIME TO THE OMPF. OFFICERS ARE ADVISED THAT THE OMPF AND MBS ARE DISTRIBUTED TO THE BOARDROOM AT LEAST ONE WEEK BEFORE THE BOARD CONVENING DATE. BOARD ELIGIBLE RECORDS CONTINUE TO BE UPDATED UNTIL THE CONVENING DATE OF THE BOARD; HOWEVER, OFFICERS ARE HIGHLY ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT ALL MATERIAL NO LATER THAN TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THE BOARD FOR WHICH THEY ARE ELIGIBLE.
E. CAREER ADVISORS. OFFICERS CONCERNED WITH SPECIFIC ASPECTS OF THEIR RECORD MAY CONTACT (SEE PARAGRAPH 5.C(6)) THEIR RESPECTIVE CAREER ADVISORS. ACTIVE COMPONENT OFFICERS SHOULD CONTACT CMC (MMSB-50).
F. PHOTOGRAPHS. PER REF C, OFFICERS ELIGIBLE FOR PROMOTION CONSIDERATION ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT AN OFFICIAL PHOTO WITHIN 12 MONTHS OF THE CONVENING DATE OF THE BOARD. REF C OUTLINES DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPH SUBMISSION SPECIFICATION REQUIREMENTS.
(1) REVIEWING PHOTO SUBMISSION. OFFICERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR VERIFYING RECEIPT OF PHOTO BY CMC (MMSB-20). THE PRIMARY MOST EXPEDITIOUS MEANS OF CONFIRMING PHOTO RECEIPT IS THROUGH OMPF ONLINE VIA MOL. PHOTOS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING ON OMPF ONLINE WITHIN 24 HOURS OF PHOTO RECEIPT BY CMC (MMSB-20). THE DATE OF THE PHOTOGRAPH, AS NOTED ON THE PHOTOGRAPH TITLE BOARD, IS CONSIDERED THE PRIMARY DATE FOR DETERMINING THE 12 MONTH PHOTOGRAPH ELIGIBILITY WINDOW FOR SELECTION BOARDS. OFFICERS ARE ADVISED THAT ALTHOUGH A PHOTO MAY BE OVER 12 MONTHS OLD, THE PHOTO WILL REMAIN IN THE OMPF UNTIL AN UPDATED PHOTO IS SUBMITTED.
(2) HARD COPY PHOTOS. OFFICERS THAT CHOOSE TO SUBMIT A HARD COPY PHOTO DIRECTLY TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD ARE ADVISED THAT THE PHOTO WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE OMPF. VERIFICATION OF HARD COPY PHOTOS SUBMITTED DIRECTLY TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH THE OFFICER PROMOTION HOMEPAGE CMC (MMPR).
G. PROFESSIONAL MILITARY EDUCATION (PME). THE SELECTION GUIDANCE (PRECEPTS) FOR MANY BOARDS INCLUDES A REMINDER OF THE IMPORTANCE OF PME, WHETHER RESIDENT OR NON-RESIDENT, IN AN OFFICER'S DEVELOPMENT. OFFICERS ARE ADVISED TO ENSURE THAT COURSE COMPLETION INFORMATION IS NOTED ON THEIR MBS AND THAT PME COMPLETION CERTIFICATES ARE INCLUDED IN THEIR OMPF IN ORDER TO CONSTITUTE COMPLETION. IN CASES WHERE AN OFFICER HAS NOT COMPLETED PME, BUT HAS COMPLETED ONE OR MORE SUB-COURSES OF THAT PME, THE OFFICER MAY SEND A PERSONAL COMMUNICATION TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD DESCRIBING PROGRESS IN COMPLETING THE PME AND INCLUDE DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE OF ANY SUB-COURSE COMPLETION. SEE REFERENCES E AND F FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING PME.
H. 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.
I. 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 FY15 USMC (APPROPRIATE GRADE) LDO PROMOTION SELECTION BOARD."
J. 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, FY15 USMC (APPROPRIATE GRADE) PROMOTION SELECTION BOARD (SEE PARAGRAPH 5A FOR COMPLETE ADDRESS);
(3) UPDATE MATERIAL MUST BE FROM THE ELIGIBLE OFFICER; AND THE OFFICER MUST SIGN THE COVER LETTER. DIGITAL SIGNATURES ARE AUTHORIZED ON EMAIL SUBMISSIONS. 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.
K. 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.
