SUBJ/CONSOLIDATION OF THE OFFICER AND ENLISTED TRANSFER MANUALS INTO
/THE MILITARY PERSONNEL MANUAL//
 
RMKS/1.  THE ENLISTED AND OFFICER TRANSFER MANUALS ARE BEING MERGED
WITH THE MILITARY PERSONNEL MANUAL.  EVERYONE WILL APPRECIATE THE
CAPABILITY AFFORDED BY A SINGLE, WELL-MAINTAINED AND REGULARLY-
UPDATED SOURCE OF OFFICIAL INFORMATION INSTEAD OF HAVING TO MAINTAIN
AND EMPLOY THREE STAND-ALONE DIRECTIVES.
 
2.  MILPERSMAN ARTICLES REPLACING TRANSFER MANUAL ARTICLES ARE
POSTED ON THE BUPERS WEB
(HTTP:/BUPERSCD.TECHNOLOGY.NAVY.MIL/BPNEWMIL.HTM) UNTIL THE
SUBSEQUENT MILPERSMAN QUARTERLY UPDATE, WHEN THEY WILL BE
INCORPORATED IN THE BUPERS CD.  AS THIS HAPPENS, THE ARTICLES WILL
BE REPLACED IN THE ORIGINAL TRANSFER MANUAL WITH A CROSS-REFERENCE
LISTING IDENTIFYING THE NEW MILPERSMAN ARTICLE.  THERE WILL BE SOME
UNAVOIDABLE DUPLICATION WHEN BOTH THE OLD TRANSFER MANUAL AND THE
NEW MILPERSMAN WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW PERHAPS CONFLICTING GUIDANCE ON
A PARTICULAR SITUATION.  FOR EXAMPLE, MILPERSMAN 1300-300 THROUGH
1300-316 ADDRESSES OVERSEAS SCREENING REQUIREMENTS, AS DOES ETM/OTM
CHAPTER 4.  THE INFORMATION IN THE MILPERSMAN SUPERSEDES THE DATED
REQUIREMENTS SHOWN IN BOTH TRANSFER MANUALS.  FOLLOW THE MILPERSMAN.
