GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. PASS TO ADMINOFF, PERSOFF, CCC/NC, AND DISBO. 
THIS MESSAGE TARGETS PERSONNEL, ADMINISTRATIVE, DISBURSING, AND PASS OFFICES 
REGARDING CURRENT PAY/PERSONNEL ISSUES. 

2. ISSUE 132701:  ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF DD 214 AND DD 215 IMAGES TO THE 
OFFICIAL MILITARY PERSONNEL FILE (OMPF).

3.  THE ABILITY TO ELECTRONICALLY SUBMIT SIGNED DD 214 AND DD 215 IMAGES 
TO THE OMPF HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE E-SUBMISSION APPLICATION ON BUPERS ONLINE (BOL). 

4.  AT THIS TIME, THE DD214/215 FORMS ARE THE ONLY PDF DOCUMENTS APPROVED FOR 
E-SUBMISSION, AND WILL ONLY BE ACCEPTED IF THE SUBMITTED DOCUMENT CONTAINS THE 
WET SIGNATURE OF THE AUTHORIZED OFFICIAL IN BLOCK 22A, THE DATA ENTERED IN EACH
BLOCK IS LEGIBLE WHEN SCANNED (INCLUDING THE SHADED BLOCKS), AND THE DOCUMENT 
IS SCANNED AND UPLOADED AS A PDF.  THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS PROVIDED:
  A.  THE E-SUBMISSION APPLICATION IS SET UP TO RECOGNIZE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 
A TIFF IMAGE AND A PDF.  AS A RESULT, THE OPTION TO SELECT DD 214 AND 215 FOR 
SUBMISSION WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE IF THE IMAGE YOU SELECT TO UPLOAD INTO THE 
E-SUBMISSION APPLICATION WAS SCANNED AS A PDF.  TIFF IMAGES OF DD 214/215 DOCUMENTS 
WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED SO IF YOU SCAN THE DOCUMENT AS A TIFF, THE FORM NUMBER WILL 
NOT BE AN OPTION ON THE E-SUBMISSION DROP-DOWN LIST OF DOCUMENTS THAT CAN BE UPLOADED.
  B.  BECAUSE OF THE SHADING ON THE DD 214 AND DD 215 THE SCANNER SETTINGS ARE 
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.  WE CANNOT GIVE PRECISE SETTING FOR EACH SCANNER BECAUSE EVERY 
SCANNER IS DIFFERENT; HOWEVER FOR BEST RESULTS SET YOUR SCANNER TO "PDF COLOR PHOTO" 
OR "PDF COLOR IMAGE".  NOTE:  OUR TESTS HAVE SHOWN THAT MOST OF THE SHADED AREAS OF 
THESE FORMS TURN BLACK WHEN SET TO BLACK AND WHITE OR COLOR TEXT.  AS A RULE OF THUMB, 
IF YOU CANNOT READ THESE AREAS ON THE SCREEN, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO READ THEM EITHER 
WHICH WILL RESULT IN THE DOCUMENT BEING REJECTED.
  C.  SUBMITTERS MUST KEEP A HARD COPY OF THE SUBMITTED DOCUMENT IN THEIR RETAIN FILE 
UNTIL VERIFICATION IS MADE THAT THE DOCUMENT HAS BE ADDED TO THE SAILOR'S OMPF.  THIS 
CAN BE VERIFIED THROUGH THE E-SUBMISSION STATUS SCREEN OR BY VIEWING THE DOCUMENT IN THE 
SAILOR'S OMPF THROUGH OMPF COMMAND VIEW.  AFTER VERIFICATION THAT THE DOCUMENT HAS BEEN 
ADDED TO THE SAILOR'S OMPF, SERVICE-2 SHALL BE SHREDDED.  DO NOT MAIL DOCUMENT TO 
NAVPERSCOM THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED VIA E-SUBMISSION.

5.  DO NOT SUBMIT DIGITALLY SIGNED DOCUMENTS TO THE OMPF USING THE E-SUBMISSION PROCESS, 
IF RECEIVED - THE DOCUMENT WILL BE REJECTED BECAUSE EMPRS HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED TO ACCEPT AND 
STORE DIGITAL SIGNATURES.  WHEN THE DIGITAL SIGNATURE PROCESS FOR EMPRS IS APPROVED 
DOCUMENTS WILL BE DEVELOPED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO MEET OMPF REQUIREMENTS.
