means of obtaining and viewing the OMPF and MBS is through the
OMPF-Record Management Application (O-RMA). Refer to reference (b)
to determine what documents are appropriate for inclusion in the
OMPF. Officers should verify any additions or deletions from their
OMPF or MBS within the 12-month window to ensure the accuracy and
completeness of their record. In accordance with reference (c) all
of the officer non-statutory boards and panels listed in
paragraph 1 except for FY26 Career Designation Panel 1 will
consider OMPF photographs during the conduct of the board.
