Promotion Information
Officer’s Statement (OS)
The Officer’s Statement (OS) is a 1 page document that provides you the opportunity to summarize:
- Your support of Corps activities;
- Your commitment to visibility as an officer; and
- Your vision and expectations of a career in the Corps and the Corps mission.
Complete and submit the OS using the following directions:
- Read the Instructions.
-
The OS should be written in succinct bulleted statements using proper grammar and spelling.
- It is essential that the statements describe not just what organizations you are a member of, but also what contributions you make to those committees or groups.
- Promotion Board members like to see accomplishments and impact, not just job descriptions or membership.
- After completing and printing the OS form, sign, date and submit to your eOPF using the eDOC-U upload system in the Secure Area of CCMIS no later than the due date on the Promotion Checklist. Upload with the document date 1/31/2018.
- Ensure your name and PHS number are correct.
- It is YOUR responsibility to ensure the OS is signed and uploaded to your eOPF before the deadline. A wet or PIV/CAC verified signature is acceptable.
- Keep a copy of the upload screen page indicating the document was uploaded by the deadline.
- Your document is not confirmed into your eOPF until you received your email confirmation that a new COER document has been added to your eOPF.
- Ensure the OS is in the COER section of your eOPF within 3-4 weeks of submission. If not, email phsopffix@hhs.gov to report the error. Please attach your OS submission documentation.
- Only the current year’s OS Form is accepted for promotion consideration and for inclusion in the eOPF. NO OTHER VERSIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
- The Promotion Board will only have access to the current year’s OS; they will not see OSs from previous years. Therefore, you must submit a new OS every year you are eligible for a permanent or temporary grade promotion. The OS will be placed in the COER Documents section of the eOPF.
- Once the OS is processed, it will be indexed, dated, and filed in the COER section of the eOPF.
