A while ago, they did away with the requirements for officers to have official photographs in their personnel file ... they've rescinded that decision per NAVADMIN 103/07 released yesterday. Message follows:
RMKS/1. THIS NAVADMIN ANNOUNCES THE REINSTATEMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR OFFICER PHOTOGRAPHS IN THE OFFICIAL MILITARY PERSONNEL FILE (OMPF) MAINTAINED ON THE ELECTRONIC MILITARY PERSONNEL RECORDS SYSTEM (EMPRS) AND CANCELS REF A. THIS INITIATIVE WILL REEMPHASIZE THE INTEGRAL ELEMENTS OF MILITARY BEARING AND PHYSICAL FITNESS TO SERVICE PROFESSIONALISM. THIS POLICY WILL ALIGN MILITARY BEARING, PHYSICAL FITNESS/APPEARANCE AND OVERALL SERVICE PROFESSIONALISM WITHIN DON.
2. MILPERSMAN 1070-180, REVISED APRIL 07, RE-ESTABLISHES THE REQUIREMENT FOR ALL OFFICERS TO SUBMIT COLOR PHOTOGRAPHS FOR
INCLUSION IN THEIR OMPF. OFFICERS WHO DO NOT HAVE A PHOTOGRAPH IN THEIR CURRENT GRADE IN EMPRS MUST SUBMIT A PHOTOGRAPH BY 30 SEP 07.
3. OFFICERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR OBTAINING PHOTOGRAPHS FROM NAVY OR DOD FACILITIES, IF AVAILABLE. WHEN UNAVAILABLE, OFFICERS ARE
AUTHORIZED TO USE COMMERCIAL SOURCES. WHEN CIRCUMSTANCES PREVENT THE USE OF NAVY/DOD FACILITIES OR COMMERCIAL SOURCES, OFFICERS MAY SUBMIT ANY COLOR PHOTOGRAPH THAT COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OUTLINED IN THE MILPERSMAN. PHOTOGRAPHS MUST BE AFFIXED TO NAVPERS 1070/884 WHEN SUBMITTED. REFER TO MILPERSMAN 1070-180 FOR AMPLIFYING GUIDELINES.
4. DIGITAL PHOTO SUBMISSIONS ARE THE PREFERRED LONG-TERM SOLUTION, BUT UNTIL FUNDING AND TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN FULLY DEVELOPED, THESE INTERIM PROCEDURES WILL ENSURE OFFICER PHOTOGRAPHS ARE IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE.
5. REQUEST WIDEST DISSEMINATION TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE BY 30 SEP 07.
6. POINT OF CONTACT IS COMNAVPERSCOM (PERS-312E) AT (901)874-
