so you still have to have a current photo in your record, but it won't be displayed on the screen...? I'm guessing it's for quick reaction press releases.
This is really gonna hurt those whose plan for collecting separation pay involved tropical whites and Magnum, P.I. mustaches.
One might think (hope?) that would be annotated in Block 35 Military Bearing/Character where a 1.0 is described as, in part, consistently unsatisfactory appearance. Do character and military bearing belong grouped together? Do the individual performance traits really mean anything, or are they just a there to provide numbers that are used to manufacture a bell curve? Those are questions that I'd be interested in seeing addressed. In the absence of a critical look at improving the utility/truthfulness of the existing document, I believe there is currently an avenue for CO's to address the person you described sans photo - if they choose to use it.On one hand, I think there might be some value in determining whether the individual is a fat or unkempt slob. Even though an individual's PFA status is listed, we all know people who can pass the PFA, but still look like a complete disaster in khakis.
Does that system provide a reliable means for the RS to convey their opinion to members of a screen/election board? I would argue that it does, but we digress.Do the individual performance traits really mean anything, or are they just a there to provide numbers that are used to manufacture a bell curve?
Hoser...I was looking forward to seeing the new Hooters pics from Mad Dog.http://www.navy.mil/submit/display.asp?story_id=96354

For the marine corps, no photo means they give you a bag of cash and you fly the airplane. Oh damn, I forgot to send one in.1) boooooooo clickbait
2) full length photo still necessary for when NCIS has to pull you, your classified info, and your bag of cash off an airplane bound for [insert foriegn adversary nation or obscure tiny paradise sans extradition treaty here]
