Change 1 to Requirement Update on Official Photographs for Non-Promotion Selection Boards

1.  This MARADMIN announces changes to reference (a)
and (b) in accordance with the Secretary of War's (SECWAR) 
additional guidance on body composition (BC) evaluations and 
standards. Except for the changes listed below, all details,
instructions, and guidance contained in reference (a) and (b) remain
in effect.
2.  Background. In accordance with reference (c), the current 
semiannual height and weight requirement has been replaced with a
waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) methodology.  The body composition 
evaluation process consists of WHtR and subsequent body fat 
evaluation for those who exceed the WHtR. This requires an update
to the information displayed on the title board/text box displayed
on the OMPF photograph. 
3.  Administrative Guidance. 
3.a.  The title board/text box should only display whether the 
Marine is within BC standards, not within BC standards, they are
exempt from BC standards, or they are waived from the Body 
Composition Program (BCP).
3.b.  The following examples are provided:
