Career counseling or mentoring should play an integral role in promotion preparation as well as career planning. If an officer desires career or promotion counseling, he/she should consult his/her supervisor, a senior member of the officer’s category, the CPO, and/or the PAC Chairperson. An officer may grant any of these individuals temporary access to his/her eOPF (or parts of it) to provide you consultation. To access this eOPF feature, login to the
Secure Area and select the "Access New OPF Activity Menu" link and follow the guidelines on granting limited access to your eOPF. Category benchmarks will be used by the Promotion Boards to identify the "best qualified" officers. The category benchmarks (benchmarks) are also available through the CCMIS Web site as well as on the Promotion Information Page. All questions, comments, inquiries, concerns, and explanations related to career recommendations in relation to the benchmarks must be addressed through the officer’s category
CPO and/or PAC Chairperson.
The link for the CPO/PAC representatives and other information can be accessed through the CCMIS Web site under "About Us." OCCO is unable to respond to specific questions regarding benchmarks.
All officers scoring in the lowest quartile (25%) in their grade and category are required to receive counseling. This is not intended to be a punitive action, but instead a mechanism to provide guidance to officers for future promotions. Documentation of this counseling is completed on a Report of Career Counseling Session Form A and Report of Career Counseling Session Form B. Form A is completed by the CPO or a senior leader in the category as designated by the CPO regarding Corps-wide and Category-specific issues. Form B is completed by the officer’s supervisor as initiated by the officer regarding job/position-specific performance issues. These forms should be submitted via the eOPF fax line for submission in the confidential section of the officer’s eOPF. These documents are not visible to the Promotion Board members and are not considered during the promotion scoring process.
