1. AS OF SOFTWARE RELEASE 2-01 NAMES ARE NO LONGER
LISTED ON THE MARADMIN MESSAGE. THE SELECT GRADE RANK, SENIORITY
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 JULY 2004 FOR EACH MARINE TO BE PROMOTED.

2. UPON RECEIPT OF THIS MARADMIN MESSAGE AND POSTING OF A SELECT
GRADE ON THE DFR, BUT NOT PRIOR TO THE 1ST OF JULY 2004, COMMANDERS
WILL EFFECT THE PROMOTION OF SELECTED MARINES PER PAR 5100 OF THE
REF. CITE THIS MARADMIN MESSAGE 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 THE 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. THE NUMBERS LISTED IN PARAGRAPHS 6,7 AND 8 INDICATE THE SENIOR
NUMBER PROMOTED THE PREVIOUS MONTH AND THE TOTAL NUMBER TO BE
PROMOTED FOR THE CURRENT MONTH. HOWEVER, THE NUMBERS MAY NOT ALWAYS
ADD UP. THIS IS DUE TO MARINES SELECTED NONCOMPETITIVELY (WO
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.
