NUMBER AND BOARD YEAR WILL BE LISTED ON THE "GRAD" SCREEN IN THE
MCTFS. UNITS WILL RECEIVE A DIARY FEEDBACK REPORT (DFR) WITH A
SELECT GRADE DATE OF 1 DECEMBER 2005 FOR EACH MARINE TO BE PROMOTED.
2. UPON RECEIPT OF THIS MARADMIN AND POSTING OF A SELECT
GRADE ON THE DFR, BUT NOT PRIOR TO THE 1ST OF DECEMBER 2005,
COMMANDERS WILL EFFECT THE PROMOTION OF SELECTED MARINES PER PAR
5100 OF THE REF. CITE THIS MARADMIN AS AUTHORITY FOR
PROMOTION.
3. COMMANDERS ARE REMINDED THAT PAR 3103.6 OF THE REF REQUIRES
THAT MARINES IN THE GRADE OF GUNNERY SERGEANT AND ABOVE WHO HAVE
SERVED AT LEAST 18 YEARS BUT LESS THAN 30 YEARS OF ACTIVE MILITARY
SERVICE MUST AGREE TO SERVE 2 YEARS OR UNTIL SERVICE LIMITS,
WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST, IN THE GRADE TO WHICH PROMOTED. BEFORE
DELIVERING APPOINTMENT CERTIFICATES TO MARINES IN THIS CATEGORY,
COMMANDERS MUST ENSURE EACH MARINE HAS SUFFICIENT OBLIGATED SERVICE
REMAINING ON THEIR CURRENT CONTRACT TO ENABLE THEM TO SERVE AT LEAST
2 YEARS OR UNTIL SERVICE LIMITS IN THE GRADE TO WHICH PROMOTED. IF
THE MARINE REFUSES TO EXTEND OR REENLIST TO HAVE SUFFICIENT
OBLIGATED SERVICE, INFORM CMC (MMPR-2) OF THE MARINE'S REFUSAL.
4. COMMANDERS ARE REMINDED OF THEIR INHERENT RESPONSIBILITIES IN
THE ENLISTED PROMOTION SYSTEM. THOROUGHLY REVIEW THE RECORD OF EACH
SELECTED MARINE PRIOR TO DELIVERY OF THE CERTIFICATE OF APPOINTMENT
TO ENSURE THE MARINE HAS CONTINUED TO MAINTAIN THE HIGH STANDARDS OF
PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL PERFORMANCE WHICH LED TO SELECTION. YOU
ARE ENJOINED TO REVIEW PAR 1200.4, 1204 AND 3107 OF THE REF. UPON
COMPLETION OF THE REVIEW OF APPLICABLE RECORDS, IF THE COMMANDER'S
INTENT IS TO DELAY OR REVOKE THE PROMOTION OF A SELECTED MARINE THE
REF PROVIDES SPECIFIC GUIDANCE AND REPORTING INSTRUCTIONS.
5. COMMANDERS WHO HAVE MARINES ATTACHED TO THEIR COMMAND/UNIT/DET,
IN TEMPORARY ADDITIONAL DUTY STATUS MUST SEEK CONCURRENCE FROM THE
MARINE'S PARENT COMMAND PRIOR TO EFFECTING THE PROMOTION.
6. THE NUMBERS LISTED BELOW INDICATE THE SENIOR NUMBER PROMOTED THE
PREVIOUS MONTH AND THE TOTAL NUMBER OF MARINES TO BE PROMOTED FOR
THE CURRENT MONTH. HOWEVER, THE NUMBERS MAY NOT ALWAYS ADD UP (I.E.
THE LAST PERSON TO BE PROMOTED LAST MONTH HAD A SENIORITY NUMBER OF
42. THIS MONTH, 25 MARINES WILL BE PROMOTED. HOWEVER, ONLY THOSE
MARINES WITH SENIORITY UP TO 65 WILL BE PROMOTED). THIS IS DUE TO
MARINES SELECTED NONCOMPETITIVELY (WO, MECEP SELECTS) WHO ARE
ASSIGNED A SENIORITY NUMBER WITH AN ALPHA LETTER, MARINES WHO ARE
DISCHARGED, AND MARINES IN A PROMOTION RESTRICTION STATUS. TO AVOID
ERRONEOUS PROMOTIONS OF SNCOS IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT COMMANDERS
FOLLOW THE GUIDANCE IN PARAGRAPH 1 AND ONLY PROMOTE MARINES WITH A
SELECT GRADE DATE IN THE MCTFS.
