(2) ACCESSING THE OMPF. THE MOST EXPEDITIOUS MEANS OF ACCESSING AND VIEWING THE OMPF AND MBS IS THROUGH OMPF ONLINE VIA MOL. THE MBS CAN ALSO BE OBTAINED THROUGH THE MMRP WEB SITE. REF J PROVIDES AMPLIFICATION TO ASSIST TO DETERMINE WHAT DOCUMENTS ARE APPROPRIATE FOR INCLUSION IN THE OMPF.
(3) OMPF DOCUMENT SUBMISSION GUIDELINES.

MARINES 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 MAY BE E-MAILED AS A PDF ATTACHMENT OR FAXED TO CMC (MMRP-20). OMPF DOCUMENTS MAY ALSO BE MAILED TO CMC (MMRP-20); HOWEVER, INCLUSION IN THE OMPF IS SUBSTANTIALLY FASTER IF THE DOCUMENTS ARE EITHER E-MAILED OR FAXED. SEE PARAGRAPH 14 (MMRP) FOR OMPF INQUIRIES AND DOCUMENT SUBMISSION POINTS OF CONTACT.
(4) OMPF DOCUMENT SUBMISSION TIMELINES.

MARINES MAY CONTACT THE RESERVE CONTINUATION AND TRANSITION BRANCH (RCT) FOR ASSISTANCE. RCT CONTACT INFORMATION IS LISTED IN PARAGRAPH 14.
(6) CAREER RETIREMENT CREDIT REPORT (CRCR). THE CRCR IS A QUANTITATIVE MEASURE OF ACTIVE PARTICIPATION, SUMMARIZES RETIREMENT QUALIFICATION AND IS USED AS A CONTINUATION ELIGIBILITY DETERMINANT. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH MARINE TO ENSURE THE CRCR IS ACCURATE AND CERTIFIED PRIOR TO THE CONVENING DATE OF THE BOARD. PER REF H, SCREENING WILL BE CONDUCTED ANNUALLY. MARINES SHOULD IDENTIFY DISCREPANCIES AND PROVIDE UPDATING OR MODIFYING CRCR INFORMATION TO THEIR INSPECTOR-INSTRUCTOR OR COMMANDING OFFICER DURING THESE SCREENINGS. RESERVE UNIT COMMANDERS WILL CORRECT DISCREPANCIES VIA THE UNIT DIARY. MARINES CAN VIEW THEIR CRCR VIA MOL. PER REF H, CORRECTIONS MUST BE ANNOTATED AND RETURNED BY THE COMMAND WITH SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION (MUSTER SHEETS, ORDERS, HISTORICAL NAVMC 798'S, ETC.) TO MARINE CORPS INDIVIDUAL RESERVE SUPPORT AGENCY (MCIRSA) LISTED IN PARAGRAPH 14.
B. COMMANDERS AND INSPECTOR-INSTRUCTOR RESPONSIBILITIES. IN ADDITION TO BEING MINDFUL OF THE ELIGIBLE MARINE'S RESPONSIBILITIES, COMMANDERS MUST ALSO:
(1) ENSURE THIS MARADMIN AND SUBSEQUENT CONVENING MARADMINS ARE AVAILABLE TO ALL MARINES UNDER THEIR COMMAND;
(2) ENCOURAGE ALL ELIGIBLE MARINES TO UNDERSTAND THE CURRENT CATEGORY BEING CONSIDERED, AND TO REVIEW THEIR OMPF, MBS, AND MCTFS DATA;

(11) PROMPTLY REPORT ANY MARINE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS BOARD WHO IS THE SUBJECT OF COMPLETED DISCIPLINARY ACTION (BY MILITARY OR CIVILIAN AUTHORITIES) NOT PREVIOUSLY REPORTED ON EARLIER FITNESS REPORTS. DISCIPLINARY ACTION IS CONSIDERED "COMPLETE" WHEN CONVENING AUTHORITY ACTION IS ADJUDICATED AND REPORTED BY UNIT DIARY OR COURT MARTIAL RESULTS OF TRIAL IS RELEASED BY MILITARY JUSTICE OFFICER; OR A MARINE IS FOUND GUILTY AT NJP AND PUNISHMENT IS REPORTED ON UNIT DIARY; OR CIVILIAN COURT PROCEEDING; OR COUNSELING DOCUMENTATION IS PLACED IN MARINE'S OMPF. IF A MARINE IS EXONERATED VIA THE APPEAL PROCESS OR BY CONVENING AUTHORITY ACTION, REMEDIAL PROMOTION CONSIDERATION MAY BE GRANTED UPON REQUEST. MESSAGES WILL BE SUBMITTED TO CMC (MMPR-2) GIVING A FULL, DETAILED ACCOUNTING OF THE MATTER, WHETHER THE ACTION OCCURRED PRIOR TO THE CONVENING OF THE BOARD, DURING THE BOARD, OR WHILE THE MARINE WAS A MEMBER OF A PREVIOUS COMMAND. MESSAGES SHOULD ALSO BE SUBMITTED REGARDING ANY ELIGIBLE MARINE WHO IS ADMINISTRATIVELY REDUCED, DISCHARGED, OR IS ASSIGNED TO THE BODY COMPOSITION PROGRAM. COMMANDERS ARE ALSO REMINDED TO MAKE APPROPRIATE MCTFS ENTRIES, IF WARRANTED.
C. COMMUNICATION WITH THE BOARD. EACH ELIGIBLE MARINE MAY COMMUNICATE WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD. SUCH PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS MUST BE RECEIVED OR HAND-DELIVERED TO HARRY LEE HALL NO LATER THAN 2359 (EASTERN STANDARD TIME) ON THE DAY PRIOR TO THE CONVENING DATE OF THE BOARD. SEE PARAGRAPH 14 FOR PHYSICAL MAILING ADDRESS, E-MAIL ADDRESS AND FAX NUMBER.
(1) MARINES MAY SUBMIT COMMUNICATIONS VIA U.S. MAIL, PRIORITY OR NEXT DAY MAIL, EMAIL OR FAX. HOWEVER, MARINES SHOULD BE AWARE THAT U.S. MAIL, PRIORITY MAIL AND NEXT DAY U.S. MAIL IS NOT DELIVERED DIRECTLY TO HARRY LEE HALL. THEREFORE, ANTICIPATE A 2-3 DELAY TIME FOR FURTHER DELIVERY TO HARRY LEE HALL. COMMERCIAL NEXT DAY CARRIERS DELIVER DIRECTLY TO HARRY LEE HALL, EXCLUDING WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS. MARINES WITH THE CAPABILITY TO SCAN THEIR DOCUMENTS MAY SEND THE SCANNED DOCUMENTS VIA E-MAIL DIRECTLY TO THE ORGANIZATIONAL MAILBOX FOR CMC (MMPR-2). ENSURE THE E-MAIL SUBJECT LINE READS "UPDATE MATERIAL FOR THE FY15 RESERVE SNCO (AR) SELECTION BOARD."
(2) UPDATE MATERIAL. MARINES MAY SUBMIT ANY INFORMATION OR MATERIAL THEY DEEM IMPORTANT FOR CONSIDERATION BEFORE THE BOARD. OMPF MATERIAL SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD DOES NOT BECOME PART OF A MARINE'S OMPF. UPDATE MATERIAL SENT TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD IS DESTROYED UPON FINAL APPROVAL OF THE BOARD. DO NOT SEND FITNESS REPORTS DIRECTLY TO THE SELECTION BOARD.
(A) UPDATE MATERIAL MUST BE SUBMITTED UNDER COVER LETTER WITH THE UPDATE MATERIAL AS ENCLOSURES (A SAMPLE COVER LETTER IS AVAILABLE AT THE ENLISTED PROMOTION HOMEPAGE);
(B) THE COVER LETTER MUST BE ADDRESSED TO PRESIDENT, FY15 RESERVE SNCO (AR) SELECTION BOARD (SEE PARAGRAPH 14 FOR COMPLETE ADDRESS);
(C) UPDATE MATERIAL MUST BE FROM THE ELIGIBLE MARINE;
(D) THE MARINE MUST SIGN THE COVER LETTER. MATERIAL SUBMITTED WITHOUT A COVER LETTER, UNSIGNED, OR RECEIVED AFTER 2359 (EASTERN STANDARD TIME) ON THE DAY PRIOR TO THE CONVENING DATE OF THE BOARD WILL NOT BE SUBMITTED TO THE BOARD; AND
(E) UPDATE MATERIAL RECEIPT VERIFICATION. MARINES ARE PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING CMC (MMPR-2) HAS PHYSICALLY RECEIVED UPDATE MATERIAL BEFORE THE 2359 DEADLINE AND MAY VERIFY RECEIPT OF THE MATERIAL SENT TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD VIA THE ENLISTED PROMOTION HOMEPAGE BY FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS IN PARAGRAPH 14 OR BY CONTACTING CMC (MMPR-2). THIS WEBSITE WILL POPULATE WITHIN ONE WEEK OF THE CONVENING DATE. IN ORDER TO VERIFY RECEIPT OF MATERIAL SENT TO MMRP, (I.E. UPDATE MATERIAL FOR INCLUSION TO THE OMPF AND DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPH), GO TO OMPF ONLINE VIA MOL. THIS SITE UPDATES WITHIN APPROXIMATELY 24 HOURS AFTER THE MATERIAL IS RECEIVED. MMRP WILL PUSH THE INFORMATION TO THE DIGITAL BOARD ROOM.
11. ACCELERATED FITNESS REPORTS. ALL MARINES IN THE CURRENT GRADE OF SERGEANT AND STAFF SERGEANT WHO DO NOT MEET THE BELOW ZONE CUTOFF AND HAVE BEEN PROPERLY RECOMMENDED FOR ACCELERATED PROMOTION ON FITNESS REPORTS WITH PERIODS ENDING BETWEEN 15 JANUARY 2014 THROUGH 27 JANUARY 2015 WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR ACCELERATED PROMOTION BY THE SELECTION BOARD. IDENTIFICATION AND ELIGIBILITY OF THESE MARINES ARE CONTINGENT UPON COMPLIANCE WITH REPORTING PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN REF E AND THE TIMELY RECEIPT OF THE FITNESS REPORTS BY THE CMC (MMRP-32), I.E. WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD.
12. FITNESS REPORTS. FITNESS REPORTS ARE DUE TO CMC (MMRP-30) BY THE TIMELINES NOTED IN REF E. THE DUE DATE FOR FITNESS REPORTS BY RANK IS 90 DAYS PRIOR TO THE CONVENING DATE OF THAT BOARD. FITNESS REPORTS MAILED DIRECTLY TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD WILL NOT BE ADDED TO A MARINE'S OMPF. FOR FITNESS REPORTS TO BECOME PART OF THE OMPF, THE REPORTS MUST BE SUBMITTED TO CMC (MMRP-30). THE AUTOMATED PERFORMANCE EVALUATION SYSTEM (APES) IS THE PRIMARY MEANS OF SUBMITTING FITNESS REPORTS, HOWEVER, REPORTING OFFICIALS MAY E-MAIL PDF COPIES TO THE MMRP-30 ORGANIZATIONAL MAILBOX SO LONG AS THE MAILER'S E-MAIL ACCOUNT CAN BE CONFIRMED AS EITHER THE REPORTING SENIOR'S OR REVIEWING OFFICER'S .MIL E-MAIL ADDRESS. IF MAILING A PAPER VERSION OF A REPORT TO HQMC, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE FORWARDING ENVELOPE BE CONSPICUOUSLY MARKED "CONTAINS FITREPS FOR FY15 RESERVE SNCO (AR) SELECTION BOARD." TIMELY SUBMISSION OF FITNESS REPORTS IS CRITICAL FOR BOARD ELIGIBLE MEMBERS AS CMC (MMRP-30) WILL NEED TIME TO REVIEW REPORTS FOR ACCURACY AND COMPLIANCE. COMMANDERS ARE ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TIMELY SUBMISSION OF FITNESS REPORTS TO CMC (MMRP-30) AND ENSURING THAT ALL FITNESS REPORT TIMELINES NOTED IN REF E ARE FOLLOWED. PER REF B, FAILURE TO MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS IN A TIMELY MANNER WILL NOT CONSTITUTE REMEDIAL CONSIDERATION FOR THE MARINE REPORTED ON.
A. DATE GAPS. CORRECTION OF DATE GAPS MUST BE ACCOMPLISHED IAW CHAPTER 8 AND APPENDIX M OF REF E. IF MISSING REPORTS ARE LESS THAN ONE YEAR OLD, A RECONSTRUCTED ORIGINAL IS REQUIRED. COPIES OF COMPLETED REPORTS OVER ONE YEAR OLD, MUST HAVE ALL PAGES CERTIFIED AS TRUE COPIES BY EITHER ONE OF THE REPORTING OFFICIALS (RS/RO). FOR COMPLETION AND SUBMISSION OF REPORTS THAT ARE OVER ONE YEAR OLD IT IS PREFERABLE THAT THE ORIGINAL REVIEWING OFFICER COMPLETE THE REPORT. HOWEVER, CMC (MMRP-30) MAY ACT AS THE REVIEWING OFFICER ON REPORTS THAT ARE NOT ADVERSE ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. MARINES ARE REMINDED THAT REQUESTS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES TO THEIR FITNESS REPORT RECORDS MAY TAKE UP TO 30 DAYS FOR COMPLETION. DUE DILIGENCE FOR REPORT CORRECTION TIMELINESS RESTS SOLELY ON THE MARINE MAKING THE REQUEST.
B. ADVERSE REPORTS. ADVERSE REPORTS MUST BE REVIEWED PER THE PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 5 OF REF E.
C. HEIGHT AND WEIGHT STANDARDS. ELIGIBLE MARINES MUST BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE HEIGHT/WEIGHT STANDARDS PRESCRIBED IN REF K. FITNESS REPORTS MUST CONTAIN A DIRECTED COMMENT IN SECTION I OF THE FITNESS REPORT IF THE MARINE EXCEEDS HEIGHT/WEIGHT STANDARDS AND IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH PERCENTAGE BODY FAT LIMITS. MARINES WHO EXCEED THE HEIGHT/WEIGHT STANDARDS, AND WHOSE FITNESS REPORTS DO NOT INCLUDE BODY FAT INFORMATION, MUST PROVIDE OFFICIAL DOCUMENTATION REFLECTING BODY FAT PERCENTAGE TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD.
13. PHOTOGRAPHS. PER REF C, SNCOS ELIGIBLE FOR PROMOTION CONSIDERATION ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT AN OFFICIAL PHOTO TAKEN WITHIN 12 MONTHS OF THE CONVENING DATE OF THE BOARD. WHILE ABSENCE OF A CURRENT PHOTOGRAPH IS NOT A REASON FOR NON-SELECTION IN AND OF ITSELF, AN UPDATED PHOTOGRAPH OR LETTER EXPLAINING THE ABSENCE OF A PHOTOGRAPH IS ONE OF THE MANY ELEMENTS VIEWED BY A SELECTION BOARD IN DELIBERATIONS AS TO WHO IS BEST QUALIFIED FOR SELECTION. REF D OUTLINES DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPH SUBMISSION SPECIFICATION REQUIREMENTS.
A. DIGITAL. DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHS ARE THE PREFERRED FORM OF PHOTOGRAPH AS THEY CAN BE ELECTRONICALLY FILED IN THE OMPF. FOR THE PURPOSE OF CLARITY, THE PHOTO SHOULD BE TAKEN AGAINST A PLAIN BACKGROUND. DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHS ARE TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE CMC (MMRP) AT MMSBCVIC.MMSB.USMC.MIL VIA AN AUTHORIZED COMBAT CAMERA (COMCAM). IF A MARINE DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS TO A COMCAM, BUT SOME OTHER MEANS OF TAKING A DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPH IS AVAILABLE, THE PHOTOGRAPH MAY BE E-MAILED VIA THE COMMAND'S ORGANIZATIONAL MAILBOX OR VIA THE COMMANDING OFFICER, EXECUTIVE OFFICER, INSPECTOR-INSTRUCTOR (I-I), MARINE SECURITY GUARD DETACHMENT COMMANDER, COMMAND SERGEANT MAJOR, FIRST SERGEANT OR SENIOR EXECUTIVE TO THE FOLLOWING E-MAIL ADDRESS: MMSB.PHOTO(AT)USMC.MIL. MARINES WHO SUBMIT A DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPH TO THE OMPF MAY CONFIRM RECEIPT BY REVIEWING THEIR OMPF VIA MOL, CHECKING THE MMRP HOMEPAGE OR CONTACTING THE CMC (MMRP-20).
B. HARDCOPY. HARDCOPY PHOTOGRAPHS MAY ALSO BE SUBMITTED DIRECTLY TO THE CMC (MMPR-2) AT THE ADDRESS LISTED IN PARAGRAPH 14. SEE REFERENCES C AND D REGARDING WHEN IT IS APPROPRIATE AND HOW TO TAKE HARD COPY PHOTO. MARINES WHO 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 ENLISTED PROMOTION HOMEPAGE (MMPR-2), SEE INSTRUCTIONS IN PARAGRAPH 14.
C. OUTDATED-MISSING PHOTOGRAPHS. IF A PHOTOGRAPH CANNOT BE FORWARDED DUE TO EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES, ELIGIBLE MARINES ARE HIGHLY ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT CORRESPONDENCE TO THE BOARD, VERIFIED BY THE COMMANDER, DOCUMENTING HEIGHT AND WEIGHT. MARINES WHO EXCEED HEIGHT-WEIGHT STANDARDS, BUT ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH BODY FAT PERCENT LIMITS, MUST PROVIDE APPROPRIATE CERTIFICATION BY THE COMMAND OF CURRENT BODY FAT PERCENTAGE.
D. PHOTO AND PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. EACH MARINE MUST ENSURE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE PROPERLY TAKEN, TIMELY SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS ARE MET AND THEIR PHOTOGRAPH IS SUBMITTED AND RECEIVED BY THE BOARD. MARINES WHO DO NOT SUBMIT A CURRENT PHOTOGRAPH OR LETTER TO EXPLAIN THE LACK OF PHOTOGRAPH ARE AT A DISADVANTAGE BEFORE THE BOARD AND ARE HIGHLY UNLIKELY TO BE SELECTED. FURTHER, MARINES WHO NEGLECT TO EXERCISE DUE DILIGENCE IN CONFIRMING THEIR PHOTOGRAPH POSTED TO THEIR OMPF AND WERE SUBSEQUENTLY PROCESSED BEFORE THE CONVENE DATE ARE UNLIKELY TO RECEIVE FAVORABLE ENDORSEMENT FOR REMEDIAL PROMOTION CONSIDERATION.
E. REVIEWING PHOTO SUBMISSION. MARINES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR VERIFYING RECEIPT OF PHOTO BY CMC (MMRP-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 (MMRP-20). THE DATE OF THE PHOTOGRAPH, AS NOTED ON THE PHOTOGRAPH TITLE BOARD, IS CONSIDERED THE PRIMARY DATE OF DETERMINING THE 12 MONTH PHOTOGRAPH ELIGIBILITY WINDOW FOR SELECTION BOARDS. MARINES 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.
