GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. This MARADMIN is the promotion authority for DR, IRR, and AR LCpls and Cpls. The Marine Corps Total Force System (MCTFS) may be used to view the reserve promotion parameters and the reserve cutting scores for the current month, This may be done by typing "JEPA" from the MCTFS main menu and then following the instructions at the bottom of the page. IRR Marines will use the same promotion parameters and the same cutting scores as DR Marines. Cutting scores for the current month should be printed from the "JEPA" screen and attached with this MARADMIN to be used for future reference. Cutting scores are also available on the Enlisted Promotions Section web page.
2. Reference (a) changed the PME requirement for SMCR promotion to Sgt beginning with promotions for 1 October 2021 and then reference (b) granted an extension for the new PME requirement and gave SMCR Cpls until the promotions for 1 October 2022 to be PME complete with the new requirements. After the release of reference (a) and prior to the release of reference (b), MMPR-2 had the PME flag in the Marine Corps Total Force System (MCTFS) corrected to reflect the new requirement. Due to this, select grades for all SMCR LCpls and Cpls will be manually done and posted in the MCTFS. The posting of these select grades will be delayed; however, the select grades for AR Marines will post to the MCTFS as they normally do.
3. Reference (c) provides information and guidance on the changes to time in grade (TIG) for promotion to Cpl. This change started with the April 2016 promotion quarter. Reference (d), paragraph 4 provides information and guidance on the changes to time in service (TIS) for promotion to Sgt. This change started with the January 2020 promotion quarter.
4. References (e) and (f) set forth guidance and instructions for effecting the quarterly promotions of LCpls and Cpls of the DR, IRR, and AR who meet the following criteria:
4.a. SEL CPL ED: 20220701
4.b. SEL SGT ED: 20220701
4.c. DATE OF RANK: 20220701
4.d. EFFECTIVE DATE: 20220701
5. Commanders will ensure the following criteria are met:
5.a. Receipt of this MARADMIN as the official promotion authority.
5.b. Receipt of 1 July 2022 select grade generated on the unit diary feedback report.
5.c. Prior to being promoted, all Marines must complete the required Professional Military Education (PME) for their grade IAW references (b) and (e) as follows:
5.c.1. Promotion to Cpl.
5.c.1.a. DR and AR. Completion of a command-sponsored Lance Corporal Leadership and Ethics Seminar (of note: Marinenet EPME3000AA Course is a prerequisite to attend the Seminar).
5.c.1.b. IRR: Completion of Marinenet EPME3000AA Course.
5.c.2. Promotion to Sgt.
5.c.2.a. DR: Completion of Marinenet EPME4000AA Course or a reserve or active duty command sponsored Corporals Course. Per reference (b), beginning with promotions to Sgt for 1 October 2022 the requirement will be both Marinenet and a command sponsored Corporals Course.
5.c.2.b. IRR: Completion of Marinenet EPME4000AA
5.c.2.c. AR: Completion of Marinenet EPME4000AA Course and a command sponsored Corporals Course.
6. Commanders are reminded that all PME for LCpls and Cpls must be entered in the MCTFS in a timely manner. Timely posting of PME will prevent delays in promotion of your Marines. For Marines whose PME completion has posted late, commands must conduct research and submit a remedial promotion request to MMPR-2 if applicable.
7. All eligible SMCR and AR Marines who are not PME complete and have not been ran as "NOT REC" for promotion will not be selected due to their PME flag in MCTFS being a "N". IRR Marines who are not PME complete do not need to be ran as "NOT REC". IRR Marines promote based on the SMCR cutting score and the "PME complete flag" in the MCTFS will keep them from coming up select grade. IRR Marines who are "NOT REC" for reasons other than PME should continue to be ran.
8. Note that the purpose of the PME flag is to prevent erroneous select grades. It is to be used as a tool for the commands and is not intended to replace the "not rec" requirement.
9. Remedial promotion requests should be submitted for Marines who are recommended for promotion by their commanding officer and have a recomputed score that is equal to or above the cutoff score (cutting score) for their MOS. All remedial promotion requests must contain a letter signed by the commanding officer or by direction and should explain the reason for the remedial request and include any supporting documentation. The request should be submitted to enlistedpromotions@usmc.mil.
10. With advent of JEPES it is critical to provide clarification between the actual JEPES score computed in the MCTFS and the JEPES scores that are viewed in Marine on Line (MOL) on the JEPES Marine Reported On (MRO) Dashboard.
10.a. Per Appendix A of reference (f), the MRO Dashboard is the portal through which Marines can view their current objective scores (MCMAP, rifle, CFT, PFT, PME, self-education and bonus points), along with their command input marks (subjective evaluation). Marines can view how they compare to their peers within their grade and MOS or just within their grade. The information and dates displayed on the dashboard are updated as of the latest MCTFS cycle.
10.b. The Marine's actual JEPES score used for promotion will be computed in the MCTFS using the total of their objective scores and their command input marks (subjective evaluation) as of the command cutoff date (MCTFS cutoff) for each promotion month. For example, the command cutoff for promotion 1 July 2022 is 31 May 2022.
10.c. Marines may have a higher or lower score reflecting on the MRO Dashboard than what is actually computed in the MCTFS for a given promotion month because the MCTFS score will only calculate data elements that are prior to the command cutoff. Late reporting of any data element to include command input marks will cause the MCTFS to automatically recompute the JEPES score.
11. For Marine Enlisted Promotion matters call comm (703) 784-9717 or DSN 278-9717. Email inquiries may be submitted to enlistedpromotions@usmc.mil. This MARADMIN will be posted to the promotion branch website: www.manpower.usmc.mil, select "Active Marine," "Promotion Branch (MMPR)," then "Enlisted Promotions." From there, to find this MARADMIN: click on "Message Traffic," then "Noncommissioned Officer (NCO)."
