REQUESTING AN OMPF OR MBS, MAILING DELAYS, AND ANY FOLLOW-ON CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKES TIME.  MARINES ARE ADVISED THAT THE OMPF AND MBS ARE DISTRIBUTED TO THE BOARDROOM IN ADVANCE OF THE CONVENING DATE.  THEREFORE, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT MARINES REVIEW THEIR OMPF AND MBS IN A TIMELY MANNER.  IF DEFICIENCIES, MISSING INFORMATION, OR UNREADABLE DOCUMENTS ARE PRESENT IN THE OMPF, MARINES ARE PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THE PROBLEM OFFICIALLY WITH CMC (MMSB-20).  AFTER CHECKING THEIR RECORDS, MARINES WHO HAVE SPECIFIC CONCERNS ABOUT SOME ASPECT OF THEIR RECORD

MARINES MAY SUBMIT COMMUNICATIONS VIA U.S. MAIL, PRIORITY OR NEXT DAY MAIL, OR FAX.

MARINES WITH THE CAPABILITY TO SCAN THEIR DOCUMENTS MAY SEND THE SCANNED DOCUMENTS VIA E-MAIL DIRECTLY TO THE ORGANIZATIONAL MAILBOX FOR THE CMC (MMPR-2).

       (1) UPDATE MATERIAL.  MARINES MAY SUBMIT ANY INFORMATION OR MATERIAL THEY DEEM IMPORTANT FOR CONSIDERATION BEFORE THE BOARD.  BE ADVISED THAT OMPF MATERIALS SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD DO NOT BECOME PART OF A MARINE'S OMPF.  UPDATE MATERIAL IS DESTROYED UPON FINAL APPROVAL OF THE BOARD.  DO NOT SEND FITNESS REPORTS DIRECTLY TO THE SELECTION BOARD.  PER REF E, CMC (MMSB-32) MUST CERTIFY ALL FITNESS REPORTS PRIOR TO CONSIDERATION BY 
A SELECTION BOARD.  ALL FITNESS REPORTS MUST BE SENT TO: 
   COMMANDANT OF THE MARINE CORPS 
   HEADQUARTERS, U.S. MARINE CORPS (MMSB-32) 
   2008 ELLIOTT ROAD 
   QUANTICO, VA 22134-5030

PER REF C, MARINES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT THEIR RECORDS ARE BOTH ACCURATE AND COMPLETE.  ACCORDINGLY, MISSING FITNESS REPORTS WILL NOT BE A BASIS FOR REQUESTING REMEDIAL PROMOTION CONSIDERATION IN THE EVENT OF FAILURE OF SELECTION.  THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES APPLY, REGARDLESS OF THE MEANS BY WHICH A MARINE SUBMITS MATERIAL, I.E., U.S. MAIL, NEXT-DAY SERVICE, FAX, E-MAIL, ETC.: 
           (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,
FY07 GYSGT SELECTION BOARD (SEE PARAGRAPH 13 FOR COMPLETE ADDRESS); 
           (C) UPDATE MATERIAL MUST BE FROM THE ELIGIBLE MARINE; AND 
           (D) THE MARINE MUST SIGN THE COVER LETTER.  MATERIAL SUBMITTED WITHOUT A COVER LETTER OR RECEIVED AFTER 2359 ON THE DAY PRIOR TO THE CONVENING DATE OF THE BOARD WILL NOT BE SUBMITTED TO THE BOARD.  MARINES ARE PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THE CMC (MMPR-2) HAS PHYSICALLY RECEIVED UPDATE MATERIAL BEFORE THE DEADLINE AND MAY VERIFY RECEIPT OF THE MATERIAL VIA THE ENLISTED PROMOTION HOMEPAGE OR BY CONTACTING CMC (MMPR-2). 
       (2) PHOTOGRAPHS.  PER THE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN REFERENCES D, AND F THROUGH H, ALL ELIGIBLE MARINES ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT AN OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN WITHIN 12 MONTHS OF THE CONVENING DATE OF THE BOARD.  DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHS ARE THE PREFERRED FORM OF PHOTOGRAPH AS THEY CAN BE ELECTRONICALLY FILED IN THE OMPF.

PER THE GUIDANCE IN REF H, MARINES WHO ARE DEPLOYED MAY TAKE THE PHOTOGRAPH 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 F THROUGH H.  FOR THE PURPOSE OF PHOTO CLARITY, THE PHOTO SHOULD BE TAKEN AGAINST A PLAIN BACKGROUND. 
DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHS ARE TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE CMC (MMSB) VIA AN AUTHORIZED COMBAT VISUAL INFORMATION CENTER (CVIC).  IF A MARINE DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS TO A CVIC, BUT SOME OTHER MEANS OF TAKING A DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPH IS AVAILABLE, THE PHOTOGRAPH MAY BE EMAILED VIA THE COMMAND'S ORGANIZATIONAL MAILBOX OR VIA THE COMMANDING OFFICER,EXECUTIVE OFFICER, OR COMMAND SERGEANT MAJOR TO THE FOLLOWING
EMAIL ADDRESS: MMSB.PHOTO@USMC.MIL.  HARDCOPY PHOTOGRAPHS MAY ALSO BE SUBMITTED DIRECTLY TO THE CMC (MMPR-2) AT THE ADDRESS LISTED IN PARAGRAPH 13.  IF A PHOTOGRAPH CANNOT BE FORWARDED, ELIGIBLE MARINES MAY 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 THEIR CURRENT BODY FAT PERCENTAGE.  
MARINES HAVE A PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THEIR PHOTOGRAPH IS SUBMITTED AND RECEIVED BY THE BOARD.  MARINES WHO SUBMIT DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHS TO THE OMPF MAY CONFIRM RECEIPT OF THE DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPH BY CONTACTING THE CMC (MMSB-20) OR BY CHECKING THE MMSB HOMEPAGE.  MARINES WHO SUBMIT A HARD-COPY PHOTOGRAPH MAY CONFIRM RECEIPT THROUGH THE ENLISTED PROMOTION HOMEPAGE.  
       (3) REQUEST NOT TO BE SELECTED.  ALL MARINES ELIGIBLE FOR SELECTION CONSIDERATION BY THIS BOARD WHO ANTICIPATE SEPARATING FROM THE MARINE CORPS MAY VOLUNTARILY REQUEST NOT TO BE SELECTED BY SUBMITTING A LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE SELECTION BOARD.
