I wouldn't be too concerned with it. I was just looking at my OMPF earlier today, as a matter of fact, and couldn't find any of my Pg.11s in there either. The deal is that a 6105 (Pg.11) is a counseling tool and not a punishment tool. It's the highest degree of formal counseling, but that's all it is. NJP is punishment. You're not going to get passed over for a formal counseling, but you certainly could for a punishment.
S/F and good luck on the board.

I've got a copy of the most recent SSgt board 'questions and answers' direct from the board. No mention of that. Biggest things were as follows:
Current picture, in correct uniform, not looking like a disgusting fatbody. All ribbons correctly placed.
MOS credibility.
Ranking in the 'pyramid'. If you aren't in the top 3 in your section/shop/platoon, you won't be competitive.
PFT scores. Better be a first class. If you are a grunt, you better have the highest class of 'belt' you can get.

He was. Might help to check out someone's profile before you rag on them. He got out in '93.

If you aren't familiar with the promotions system nowadays, these terms can easily be confusing.

Yes I was, up until 93. Then I got out. You mean SRB right?

Yes, sorta. The SRB, believe it or not, isn't "official". The OMPF on the other hand, is. That's what's 'briefed' when your packet goes in front of the selection board, and why its' so critical to make sure your SRB matches the OMPF. Nowadays since everything is on computer, it's allegedly not as difficult. "Allegedly". The OMPF also contains all the copies of your fitreps
Hell, I was going to ask what the OMPF was as well. I am glad someone asked prior...and yes... I am/was a SNCO but I got out in the 70s. So while the terminology has changed.... it is still my Marine Corps.
OMPF = Official Military Personnel File
As mentioned, it's more than just the SRB / OQR as it includes FitReps, and official letters, and promotion photos.
Most Marines encounter their OMPF for the first time when they are seeking promotion to Staff Sergeant or above. Used to be we'd get copies on microfiche. Usually the biggest problem with the OMPF was missing FitReps or something that didn't match the SRB/OQR. I remember some of the biggest gigs for promotions had to do with the official promotion photo - either someone who needed a "larger" uniform or more often, someone who's ribbons or marksmanship badges didn't match what was in their SRB/OQR.

Yup...and it's still that way from what I can see from the last SSgt board.
