“HQMC, Manpower and Performance Branch understands that the requirement to still take the photo annually is not going away, however MARADMIN 491/20 clearly states that due to US Law the photos are not authorized to be viewed and or used in any capacity related to Promotion Boards, or selections to assignments, training, education and command. Therefore during the in brief for all boards it is once again clearly stated to all members that they will not see nor have access to anything related to the photo during the board process. We want to be very clear to all that this requirement to not use the photo has been and will continue to be enforced as required by law.” This is the official response from HQMC Manpower and Performance Branch regarding the photo.
