They may still get used for nominative jobs....or not at all.<br /><br />Watch for a MILPER message to provide further guidance.

Leaders still want to see if people look fat in uniform SFC Private RallyPoint Member Sun, 28 Jun 2020 01:09:00 -0400 2020-06-28T01:09:00-04:00 Response by 1SG Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 28 at 2020 10:52 PM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/with-the-change-in-da-photos-in-regard-to-board-packets-no-longer-used-what-purpose-do-da-photos-now-serve?n=6052035&urlhash=6052035 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Well there still packet MOS’s/Schools/SMU’s that require DA Photo for the purpose of the hiring process. The message only refers to promotions but if this is the route we’re going I could see that change very soon also. 1SG Private RallyPoint Member Sun, 28 Jun 2020 22:52:30 -0400 2020-06-28T22:52:30-04:00 Response by SFC Michael Hasbun made Jun 30 at 2020 12:01 PM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/with-the-change-in-da-photos-in-regard-to-board-packets-no-longer-used-what-purpose-do-da-photos-now-serve?n=6057359&urlhash=6057359 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There are a lot more selection boards than just promotion boards. Nominative assignments, for example. SFC Michael Hasbun Tue, 30 Jun 2020 12:01:38 -0400 2020-06-30T12:01:38-04:00 2020-06-27T12:49:11-04:00
