Officer’s Statement (OS) The OS is a one page document which provides officers the opportunity to summarize:               * Their support of Corps activities               * Their commitment to visibility as an officer               * Their vision and expectations of a career in the Corps and the                  Corps mission The OS should be written using succinct bullet statements, and using proper grammar and spelling. It is essential that the bullets describe not just what organization officer’s are members of, but what they have contributed to those committees or groups. Board members like to see accomplishments and impact, not just job descriptions. After reading the instructions and completing the OS form, officers shall print, sign and fax the OS form to OCCO using the eOPF fax lines (301-480-1407 or 301-480-1436) no later than the due date on the Promotion Checklist. It is the sole responsibility of the officer to accomplish this. Officers are encouraged to print a copy of the fax verification indicating the document was faxed by the deadline in order to ensure availability to the Promotion Board. Only the current year’s OS Form will be accepted for promotion consideration and for inclusion in the eOPF. NO OTHER VERSIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED. Once the document is submitted it will be indexed, dated and filed in the officer’s eOPF. The document will be assigned an arbitrary date, regardless of when it is submitted. Please don’t be concerned with the document date in the eOPF; the date is for internal use only and will not be seen by the promotion board members. The promotion board will only have access to the current year’s OS; they will not see any other OS submitted from previous years. Therefore, an officer must submit a new OS every year the officer is eligible for permanent or temporary grade promotion. The OS will be placed in the blue section of the eOPF.
