E-7 Board DA Photo ;
So I'm taking my DA photo for the third time due to how others have turned out. I was told today that I should add an additional service stripe being that on the 25th marks my 15yr mark, here is my issue once the board is held my records will reflect time in service. According to what I've read my service stripes should match my AGC medals, we all know how slow these orders are pushed down and I can guarantee that I will be unable to submit a new AGC medal prior to that time frame. What should I do in this case?

You wear the stripes and awards that you have at the time of photo. Do not assume that the committee is not aware that photo's often do not reflect the accouterments. There is an administrative component to their preparation, and they actually rehearse this process as it is a very controlled environment, I won't bore you with too many details. If your records are straight as of the date of the photo you will get the respect you are due from the panel members, Good Luck!

The photo is dated and the board members are a sharp group. Your uniform should be accurate as of the day the photo was taken.
