Why doesn the order of precedence on a promotion message exactly match the order found on the electronic resister of officers on the opm-1 web page?
The Register of Officers is a fluid document that changes as officers retire, resign, gain relief through BCMRs, etc. The Register of Officers that you see on the web is a snapshot as of 1 January of each year. The opm-1 promotion section maintains a “master” Register of Officers that is used for ordering all promotion results.
