How long does it take for documents to be approved in Army Selection Board System "My Board File"?

2024-12-13T15:34:42-05:00

I had to upload quite a few documents into my board file, due to them being missing, or improperly labeled. I had to upload 23 documents and have had to handle this process on my own, as I've had no guidance from leadership and this is my first OML evaluation board. My question is how long does it take for the uploaded documents to be approved?

UPDATE: I was able to go through HRC and they got my MOS, my STP, and all my documents fixed prior to my board eval. I will let y'all know how I fair on my OML.

The answer is "it depends" because your 'My Board' file pulls from IPPS-A, your OMPF, and your evaluations in EES.

Assuming the documents that you had to upload yourself were iPERM uploads to go to your OMPF, it should happen within eight days of being uploaded ('My Board' synchs the documents from iPERMS every three to five days and priority uploads to iPERMS are processed and placed in your OMPF within three days). IPPS-A changes should be within 24 hours but I'm unsure about EES updates.

This is assuming you uploaded them for priority processing by having the word "Board" as the first word on the first line in the comments field. Having "Board" as the 1st/1st may not be a requirement (HRC only says to have the word "board" in the comments), but my folks never had an issue with the uploads not being handled as a priority when they did it that way.

If you didn't upload it for priority processing, then it can take up to a month and a half for the documents to appear in your OMPF.

If they were uploaded for priority processing, it's been longer than 2 weeks (10 work days .. giving 2 more as a buffer), and the documents aren't there, contact the iPERMS Board Support Team (refer to the "Record Update and Maintenance" page* on HRC's website).

I have been trying to fix my MOS for last 3 years. I have submitted numerous PARs, have my BN S1 and BDE S1 working on it as well. Sometimes it can take a month. Other times it can take years. I do know there is a system issue with IPPS-A. Besides IPPS-A being a shit system to begin with.
