We all know the basics of updating ERB'S and photos. What I'd like to hear is the little things that may get missed while getting your packet together.

Spend time to get your 2-1, 2A and ERB updated. Your S1 or your UA can help you out on this. Also iPerm all your certificates especially the ones that are 40 hours or over. If you have not done so yet, talk to your PL, PSG, 1SG or CDR and start holding a PSG position and responsibilities (this is a long term investment). Last but not the least, continue your education. This could be towards a college degree or obtaining certifications. The whole goal is to show the big Army that you are continually seeking ways to improve yourself through academic and challenging positions. Good luck.

Make sure your Bio, ERB, DA photo and iPERMS record match. Your bio is an outline, just because you put it on your bio doesn't make it official. A memorandum for missing documents doesn't excuse the missing document, its still a missing document. Also, make sure you review your iPERMS record. I've seen packets where SMs have not opened any of their documents to review. Last, do not ever let your military career go stagnant, never allow repeat NCOER bullets, and for God's sake look in the mirror before you stand in front of that DA photo camera.
GOOD LUCK!
GOOD LUCK!

I've been seeing a lot of people talking about a Biography. Are those allowed in iPerms/OMPF?
