UPDATE MATERIAL BEFORE THE MIDNIGHT DEADLINE AND MAY VERIFY RECEIPT
OF THE MATERIAL VIA THE ENLISTED PROMOTION HOMEPAGE OR BY CONTACTING
THE CMC (MMPR-2).

SPECIFICATIONS REQUIRED FOR THE SUBMISSION OF DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHS.

COMMANDING OFFICER, EXECUTIVE OFFICER, OR COMMAND SERGEANT MAJOR TO
THE FOLLOWING EMAIL ADDRESS: MMSB.PHOTO@USMC.MIL. HARDCOPY

FAT PERCENT LIMITS, MUST PROVIDE APPROPRIATE CERTIFICATION BY THE
COMMAND OF THEIR CURRENT BODY FAT PERCENTAGE. MARINES HAVE A

SUBMIT A HARD-COPY PHOTOGRAPH MAY CONFIRM RECEIPT THROUGH THE
ENLISTED PROMOTION HOMEPAGE.

PARAGRAPH 8A OF REF A FOR ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE ON THE CRCR.
