ORB and DA Photo are your resumeBoth viewable at all times thru AKOBoard members get about 6 mins per

officer to make an evaluation

-Look sharp and professional-Only wear the awards that are in your

ORB (should match)-Should be kept UTD as much as possible-A photo that is not within 12 months of

the board is a breach of military protocol (even though officially valid for 5 years)

Ensure Job Titles are clear with no medical abbreviations

For military education, any course over 40 hours can be listed

Should be accurate and up to date

Thru MyBoardFile you can view everything that the board will see about you (via HRC website)

Not checking, “I have reviewed MyBoardFile” is another subtle breach of military courtesy (even if everything is accurate and up to date)
