Purpose. To provide the FY23 meritorious promotion allocations for Special Duty Assignments (SDA) to commanding generals and commanding officers for the first semi-annual period. 2. Background. These meritorious Staff Noncommissioned Officer (SNCO) promotion allocations provide commanders the opportunity to nominate a select number of Marines for meritorious promotion to the grades of gunnery sergeant and staff sergeant. Meritorious promotions recognize Marines for their superior potential for increased responsibility based upon their extraordinary performance, sacrifice, and contribution to the success of the Marine Corps. 3. Commanders with allocations listed in paragraph 4 will convene selection boards within their commands and nominate Marines for meritorious promotion by the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC). The recommendations of the selection boards for the meritorious promotion of Marines to gunnery sergeant and staff sergeant among SDA will be endorsed by the commander and submitted via naval letter to CMC (MMPR-2). The letter must be received no later than 9 December 2022. Upon review and approval of the nominations by the Manpower Management Division (MM), unit diary entries will be entered by Headquarters Marine Corps. Commanders will prepare certificates of appointment in accordance with reference (a). SDA commands will receive meritorious promotion authority for 2 January 2023 promotions via separate correspondence. Marines already selected for the next grade by a regular promotion board are still eligible for meritorious promotion to that grade. In accordance with reference (b), Marines who are selected to the ranks of SSgt through SgtMaj/MGySgt to include meritorious promotions must have at least 24 months obligated service remaining on contract from the date of promotion. 4. Per reference (c), Marines currently serving on SDA will continue to receive corresponding meritorious promotions as authorized by current policy. 5. Per reference (d), meritorious promotion allocations for the first semi-annual period are: Command SSgt/GySgt allocations MCRC (Recruiters) 46/16 TECOM (Drill Instructors) 18/6 (Combat Instructors) 15/3 MCESG (Embassy Security Guards) 23/2 MCSF (Security Force Guards) 4/0 5.a.
