As announced by reference (a), the FY25 U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Chief Warrant Officer (CWO) promotion selection boards will convene on 31 January 2024, at Harry Lee Hall, Marine Corps Base, Quantico, VA. The boards will consider CWOs serving in an active status for promotion in Other Than Active Reserve (OTAR) and Active Reserve (AR) competitive categories by military occupational specialty (MOS). CWOs identified as Reserve Active-Status List (RASL) in reference (b) are in OTAR competitive categories. The OTAR selection boards will consider officers for promotion to the grades of CWO5, CWO4, and CWO3 if vacancies become available in the OTAR MOS competitive categories in these grades. CWOs identified as AR in reference (b) are in AR competitive categories. The AR selection boards will consider officers for promotion to the grades of CWO5, CWO4, and CWO3 if vacancies become available in the AR MOS competitive categories in the AR program in these grades. The AR MOS competitive categories are: A. Personnel Officer (MOS 0170) B. Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Officer (MOS 6004) C. Aviation Ordnance Officer (MOS 6502) 2. Promotion Board. The board will consider three categories of officers as specified by the yearly promotion plan: Above-Zone, In-Zone, and Below-Zone. Officers identified as RASL or AR in reference (b) are eligible for their respective board if, on the convening date of the boards, the officers have continuously performed service on either the RASL or the Active-Duty List (or a combination of both lists) for a period of one year. However, officers whose established date for removal from the RASL is within 90 days after the date the board is convened will not be considered by the board. Officers whose lineal control number (LCN) precedes the senior officer In-Zone are defined as Above-Zone. Those Above- Zone officers who have not been previously considered are defined as "Above-Zone, not previously considered." Officers in this status are considered by the board to be In-Zone. Officers may review reference (b) and their eligibility for the board at the officer promotion homepage. The senior and junior officers In-Zone (SR IZ and JR IZ) and the junior officer eligible Below-Zone (JR BZ) are as follows (Enclosures (1) and (2) of reference (b) apply): 2.a.

The Secretary of the Navy has approved a temporary departure from the running mate system for all ranks and competitive categories of reserve officer promotions. This departure will assist the Marine Corps in managing statutory grade strength for officers of all grades. Officers should carefully check their in-zone status, as the zones and opportunity may not mirror that of the active component. Additionally, reserve officers selected for promotion in FY25 will not be assigned a running mate. They will be promoted as announced in monthly promotion MARADMINS as vacancies allow. 4. Board Preparation Guidance. Officers are advised to review reference (a) for guidance regarding submission of information, auditing the Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) and Master Brief Sheet (MBS), and fitness reports prior to the convening date of the board. Officers are also reminded to review guidance in reference (a) regarding the Career Retirement Credit Report (CRCR) and Reserve Qualification Summary (RQS). OTAR officers are encouraged to submit a complete RQS as correspondence to the board to arrive not later than 10 calendar days (see paragraph 5.a.3.) before the date the board convenes. Officers may review reference (a) at the officer promotion homepage. The following guidance is provided: 4.a. Personal Responsibilities. Each officer is personally responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of their OMPF and MBS before the board convening date. 4.b. Obtaining and Reviewing the OMPF. The primary and most expeditious method for obtaining and viewing the OMPF and MBS is through OMPF Online via Marine Online (MOL). The MBS can also be obtained through the Manpower Management Performance Branch (MMPB) website. Refer to reference (c) to determine the appropriate documents for inclusion in the OMPF. 4.c. OMPF Document Submission Guidelines. Officers are personally responsible for rectifying inaccuracies, missing information, or illegible documents in either the OMPF or the MBS using MMPB-22. All material submitted for inclusion or corrections must be routed to the Records Management Unit (MMPB-22) via the OMPF-Records Management Application (O-RMA) System. Non-compliance with submission procedures may result in processing delays, causing material to be absent from the OMPF before the convening selection board. For corrections or updates to the administrative information section of the MBS, contact your unit S-1 or Installation Personnel Administration Center (IPAC) to make the appropriate changes within the Marine Corps Total Force System (MCTFS). To address deficiencies, missing fitness reports, and date gaps in the performance evaluation summary section of the MBS, contact the Performance Evaluation System (PES) Unit (MMPB-23). Officers are strongly advised to verify any additions or deletions to their OMPF or MBS within the 12-month window to ensure the accuracy and completeness of their records. Due to faster processing times, Marines are encouraged to submit OMPF documents through the O-RMA System. However, documents are accepted via email or mailed to the OMPF and Audit Review Cell (MMPB-22B) if access to O-RMA is not feasible. Email or mailed material must indicate "FY25 USMCR CWO Promotion Selection Board" to prevent any delays in processing. Refer to paragraph 7.d, Records and Performance Section (MMPB-22), for OMPF inquiries and document submission points of contact. 4.d. OMPF Document Submission Timelines. Documents mailed to MMPB-22 must be conspicuously marked "contains documents for FY25 USMCR Chief Warrant Officer Selection Board" for inclusion in the OMPF. With the exception of fitness reports, officers are highly encouraged to ensure all OMPF documents are forwarded to and received by MMPB-22) at least two weeks prior to the convening date of the selection board in order to allow processing time to the OMPF. Officers are advised that the OMPF and MBS are distributed to the digital boardroom at least one week before the board convening date. Board eligible records continue to be updated until the convening date of the board, however, officers are reminded that OMPF updates requests may take up to 10 days to complete. Reason-able diligence for records updates rests solely on the officer making the request. 4.e. Career Advisors. The Reserve Affairs, Career Management Team (CMT) provides OMPF review and career counseling for all members of the Reserve Component (AR, SMCR, IMA, IRR). To request counseling services, send an email to smb_manpower_cac(at)usmc.mil with your name, EDIPI, contact information, and service you are requesting. More information can be found by accessing their website at "www.manpower.usmc.mil/webcenter/portal/CMT/pages_home." 4.f. Fitness reports. Fitness reports are due to MMPB-23 by the timelines noted in reference (d). Reports mailed directly to the president of the board will not be added to an officer's OMPF. For fitness reports to become part of the OMPF, the reports must be submitted to MMPB-23. The Automated PES (A-PES) is the primary means of submitting fitness reports, however, reporting officials may email pdf copies to the MMPB-23 organizational mailbox at hqmc.fitrep.processing@usmc.mil, as long as the mailer's e-mail account can be confirmed as either the reporting senior's or reviewing officer's .mil email address. If mailing a paper version of a report to HQMC, it is imperative that the forwarding envelope be conspicuously marked "contains FITREPs for FY25 USMCR CWO selection board". Timely submission of fitness reports is critical for board eligible members as MMPB-23 will need time to review reports for accuracy and compliance. Commanders are ultimately responsible for the timely submission of fitness reports to MMPB-23 and ensuring that all fitness report timelines noted in reference (d) are adhered to. 4.f.1. Date gaps must be corrected IAW chapter 8 and appendix G of reference (d). If missing reports are less than one year old, a reconstructed original is required. Copies of completed fitness reports over one year old must have all pages certified as true copies by either one of the reporting officials (RS/RO). For completion and submission of reports that are over one year old, it is preferable that the original reviewing officer complete the report, however, MMPB-23 may act as the reviewing officer on reports that are not adverse on a case-by-case basis. 4.f.2. Officers are reminded that requests for administrative changes to their fitness report records may take up to 30 days to complete. Reasonable diligence for records correction timeliness rests solely on the officer making the request. 4.g. Professional Military Education (PME). The selection guidance (precept) for many boards includes a reminder of the importance of PME, whether resident or non-resident, in an officer's development. Officers are advised to ensure that course completion information is noted on their MBS and that PME completion certificates are included in their OMPF in order to illustrate completion. In cases where an officer has not completed PME but has completed one or more sub-courses of that PME, the officer may send a personal communication to the president of the board describing progress in completing the PME and include documented evidence of any sub-course completion. See references (e) and (f) for additional information regarding PME. 4.h. Civilian education. All officers must ensure their civilian education is accurately reflected in the Marine Corps Total Force System (MCTFS). 5. Officer Correspondence. All eligible officers may, if desired, submit correspondence to the President of the Board. The correspondence should include only those matters deemed important in the consideration of an officer's record. OMPF materials sent directly to the board president will not become part of an officer's OMPF. Although officers may submit any material they deem important, officers should contact MMPB-23 before submitting fitness reports and MMPB-22 for any other OMPF materials. This will ensure that an officer's OMPF is appropriately updated. The following guidelines apply: 5.a. Correspondence must be submitted under signed cover letter by the eligible officer with the material for the board’s consideration listed as enclosures (a sample cover letter is available at the officer promotion homepage). Material submitted without a signed cover letter by the eligible officer will not be submitted to the board. 5.a.1. The cover letter must be addressed to the President, FY25 USMCR/AR (appropriate grade) promotion selection board (see paragraph 7.a. for complete address), and signed with a pen or with a CAC digital signature by the eligible officer. 5.a.2. Communications or memorandums of recommendation from other parties on behalf of officers eligible for consideration will not be provided to the board unless forwarded as an enclosure to a signed memorandum to the board from the officer being considered IAW paragraphs 5.a.1-3 of this MARADMIN. 5.a.3. Pursuant to section 14101 of 10 USC, eligible officers are personally responsible for ensuring the Officer Promotions Unit (MMPB-10) has physically or electronically received their personal correspondence to the President of the board NLT 2359 Eastern Standard Time (EST), 10 calendar days prior to the board convene date of their respective board in order to be considered. Correspondence arriving after 2359 EST 10 calendar days before the board convene date WILL NOT be accepted or submitted to the board. All personal correspondence for the following boards must be received NLT 2359 EST on the due date annotated below: Board Component Convening Date Due Date FY25 CWO Reserve 31 Jan 2024 20 Jan 2024 5.a.4. Forwarding Communications to the Board. All eligible officers may submit correspondence to their respective promotion selection board via the board correspondence portal, email, U.S. Mail, next-day delivery services (FedEx, UPS, etc.), or fax. 5.a.4.a. Board Correspondence Portal. Uploading material to the Board Correspondence Portal is the preferred submission method. The Portal is CAC enabled. To to access the Portal, go to: https:(slash)(slash)www2.manpower.usmc.mil/application_cac/. Officers can confirm their submissions via the Portal and may request to receive separate confirmation of receipt. Access to the portal will be granted to eligible officers no later than 60 days prior to the board convene dates established in paragraph 5.a.3. of this MARADMIN. 5.a.4.b. U.S. Mail and Next-day Delivery Services. U.S. Mail is not delivered directly to Harry Lee Hall. Therefore, anticipate a 5-7 day lag time for further delivery to Harry Lee Hall. Commercial next-day carriers deliver directly to Harry Lee Hall, excluding weekends and holidays. Submissions that are mailed must be mailed sufficiently in advance to ensure receipt by MMPB-10 in accordance with 5.a.3. 5.a.4.c. Email. Officers with the capability to scan may send their correspondence via email directly to the organizational mailbox: officerpromotions@usmc.mil. Ensure the email subject line reads "correspondence to the FY25 USMCR or FY25 USMCR AR (appropriate grade) promotion selection board." Correspondence sent via USMC email per paragraph 7.b.6, will receive an email confirmation. The email confirmation receipt is the official notification that MMPB-10 has received your correspondence. 5.a.4.d. Correspondence may be physically delivered to Officer Promotion Section at Harry Lee Hall, Monday through Friday from 0800-1630; correspondence WILL NOT be accepted unless delivered to a MMPB-10 staff member. 5.a.4.e. Refer to paragraphs 7.a-c of this MARADMIN for additional information on correspondence fowarding options. 5.b. Request for Non-Selection. Officers eligible for promotion who plan to separate or retire may correspond with the President of the Board requesting they not be selected for promotion. Any officer who writes such a letter to the board will still be considered for promotion and will incur a failure of selection if not recommended for promotion by the Board. Requests for non-selection constitute officer correspondence and thus are subject to the guidance provided in paragraphs 5 thru 5.b. of this MARADMIN. 5.c. Classified Reports. Eligible officers whose records contain classified reports should notify MMPB-10 as soon as possible. Notification should include the Marines' full name, EDIPI, grade, occasion, and dates of the report(s). 6. Post-Board Information and Guidance.
