MMPB-10, Officer Promotions, has transitioned to providing dynamic information primarily via SharePoint. While we will maintain some basic information here on the public webpage, officers are encouraged to visit the SharePoint site below for the most up-to-date information.
SharePoint (CAC Enabled)
The mission of Officer Promotions (MMPB-10) is to provide staff assistance in order to administer the laws and regulations governing officer promotions.
Convene and provide assistance to boards in the grades of captain through major general on both the active-duty list and the Reserve Active-Status List; to the grades of major and lieutenant colonel in the limited duty officer competitive category; and to chief warrant officer 3 through 5 on both the active-duty list and the Reserve Active-Status List.
Ensure all officers are appropriately considered for promotion in accordance with the promotion plan approved by the Secretary of the Navy. Promote officers to the grade of first lieutenant and chief warrant officer-2 in accordance with the laws and regulations
Publish a fiscal year promotion board schedule, board convening notices, and monthly promotion MARADMINS/messages as required
Maintain and annually publish a lineal precedence list of officers on the active-duty list and the Reserve Active-Status List
Print (or coordinate the printing) and disseminate officer promotion warrants for grades from first lieutenant to general on the active-duty list and the Reserve Active-Status list
Manage the officer promotion adverse information process
Manage the special selection board process (SSB)
Provide board members with instruction on the use of the digital boardroom system
Provide board recorders with instruction on their roles and responsibilities
These pages are intended to provide basic information for all officers to consider who are currently or will become eligible for a statutory selection board. It’s important to carefully review the following: – Officer Promotion Board Schedule Message: Although the convening dates for boards are usually constant from year to year, there are no guarantees. Don’t miss your board because you assumed it was going to be held the same time as last year. – Convening Message: This message formally announces the convening of the board, along with the zones. It is released approximately 30 days prior to the board. This message will contain specific guidance about the board, so it’s important to read the entire message.
Officers may send correspondence to the President of a Selection Board via Boards and Surveys (Preferred method) or via E-Mail.
Note: Material send to a board is NOT forwarded to your OMPF. It is used by the board and then destroyed.
The promotion system provides a competitive process whereby Marines within each grade compete for promotion to the next grade. The goal is to advance the best and fully qualified Marines to higher grades. Your record is your personal representation at all selection boards. The board does not see you. They only see your record. It is important that you fully understand all the parts of your record and know how to keep it updated. Failure to have all your information in your record may present a limited picture of your performance and potential. Ensuring your record is current and complete is your responsibility. It is neither difficult nor time consuming to ensure you have a current and updated record. We recommend you order and review your record at least one year prior to consideration by a board. Ensure that your record is accurate and legible at least a month before any selection process as your records are seen by respective boards electronically. You may access your record via OMPF-Records Management Application (O-RMA) Master Brief Sheet (MBS) Your MBS is a collection of administrative data, duties and marks given in your fitness reports. The old style MBS will have no further entries beyond the closing date of the old reporting system (1998), and no further updates to the header data at the top (this header data is not given to board members). You will have a new style MBS for all reports received under the current Performance Evaluation System. Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) The OMPF is a collection of digital images of documents, which includes fitness reports, awards, diplomas, etc.
S-Folder (Service Folder)
Consists of contract information, discharge documents, general administrative and service documents
C-Folder (Commendatory & Derogatory Folder)
Contains diplomas, personal awards, court-martial/nonjudicial punshments, and other material reflecting significant personal achievement or adversity
P-Folder (Performance Folder)
Contains fitness reports
Keeping Your record current Realize that the OMPF and MBS are two separate documents and are not linked. It is possible for an award to appear on your MBS but have no image in your OMPF. Carefully review both for accuracy. Ensure all your fitness reports are present. Performance is the number one factor boards use to determine who is best and fully qualified. A missing fitness report is a slice of your career that a board member is prevented from considering during deliberations. Ensure you fulfill your responsibilities per the Performance Evaluation System by making sure your RS has a completed Section A or an MRO worksheet well before the end of the reporting period. This will help ensure your fitness reports are submitted on time. With regard to your MBS, ensure your current billet assignment and training information is correct. MBS header information can be corrected through your administrative support center. Relative Value and RO Distribution Relative Value is the numerical representation of how the average of a single fitness report compares to the average of all reports written by the reporting senior (RS) on Marines of the same grade. Relative Value assists in evaluating a RS’s marking philosophy and provides a quantitative analysis of your performance in relation to your peers. It is, however, only one of many items on a report used to evaluate your performance. Relative Value is calculated using FitRep averages.
