Officer Assignments: Career Counseling
  




Mission Statement: Our mission is to provide, upon request, counseling to officers concerning competitiveness, future career decisions, and failure of selection for promotion to grades CWO-3 to O-6. Additionally, MMOA-4 provides advisory opinions to the Board for Correction of Naval Records, responses to General Officer Inquiries, and other staff actions concerning review of Official Military Personnel Files.

BOARD ZONES AND CONVENING DATES


Appointments :
The counseling shop will be on the road show during the months of September, October, and early November. The counselors will be able to anwer questions and conduct orders counselings on location. Please see MARADMIN 336/04 to see our schedule of command visits.

- Orders counselings for summer 2005 movers are best done on the road show visits.
- Counselings for promotion boards that convene in September of 2005 are best scheduled no earlier than March 2005.

Counselings for an active duty officer should contact our Office Manager, LtCol K.P. Maney, at maneykp@manpower.usmc.mil. Include your SSN, DOR, MOS, Unit, Phone #, E-mail, reason for counseling, if you are overseas, and any days you are not available. Appointments are normally made several weeks from the date of request depending on our workload. If your appointment is a review for competitive concerns prior to a board, we recommend you take you photo before your appointment so we can include it in the review.

Check your record in preparation for a board, use our handout which includes instructions on ordering your record and how to make corrections. OMPFs can be ordered at https://www.mmsb.usmc.mil/howtoget.htm. If you have ordered your OMPF and want to check on the status you can call DSN 278-3920/4623/5617.

(Revised 1 March 04)

PME and Record Note: The only items an officer promotion board has access to are the OMPF, Master Brief Sheet (MBS), and any correspondence sent by the officer. Make sure that completed PME reflects on the OMPF and MBS. Boards can not check or use the MCI web site. If there is any doubt, mail the completion certificates to the board.
