GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  This Marine Administrative Message (MARADMIN) is the promotion authority for SMCR, IRR, and AR LCpls and Cpls.  To view reserve promotion parameters and cutting scores type “JEPA” in the main menu of the Marine Corps Total Force System (MCTFS).  IRR Marines use the same promotion parameters and cutting scores as SMCR Marines.  Print cutting scores for the current month from the "JEPA" screen and attach with this MARADMIN for future reference.  Cutting scores are also available on the Enlisted Promotions Section web page.
2.  References (a) through (d) set forth guidance, requirements, and instructions for effecting the monthly promotions of LCpls and Cpls who meet the following criteria:
2.a.  SEL CPL ED:     20240401
2.b.  SEL SGT ED:     20240401
2.c.  DATE OF RANK:   20240401
2.d.  EFFECTIVE DATE: 20240401
3.  Commanders will ensure the following criteria are met:
3.a.  Receipt of this MARADMIN as the official promotion authority.
3.b.  Receipt of 1 April 2024 select grade rosters generated on the unit diary feedback report.
3.c.  Completion of all Professional Military Education (PME) prior to promotion IAW references (b) and (e) as follows:
3.c.1.  Promotion to Cpl
3.c.1.a.  SMCR and AR.  Completion of MarineNet EPME3000 Course and a command-sponsored Lance Corporal Leadership and Ethics Seminar. 
3.c.1.b.  IRR: Completion of MarineNet EPME3000 Course.
3.c.2.  Promotion to Sgt
3.c.2.a.  SMCR: Completion of MarineNet EPME4000 Course and a command sponsored Corporals Course; either school code C21 (active duty course) or C19 (reserve course).
3.c.2.b.  IRR:  Completion of MarineNet EPME4000.
3.c.2.c.  AR: Completion of MarineNet EPME4000 Course and a command sponsored Corporals Course.
4.  All PME must be entered in MCTFS in a timely manner.
4.a.  LCpls and Cpls who meet the cutting score, but are not PME complete will not be selected due to their PME flag in the MCTFS being "N".
4.b.  Marines who are not PME complete will not come up select grade, require a "NOT REC" for promotion, and will receive a page 11 entry.  The PME flag is not intended to replace the "NOT REC" requirement.
5.  The JEPES score in MCTFS is used for promotion not the score in Marine On Line (MOL).  The score in MCTFS accounts for the command cutoff date for each promotion month and will only calculate data elements that are prior to the command cutoff.  For example, the command cutoff for 1 April 2024 promotion is 29 February 2024.  Marines may have a higher or lower score reflecting on the Marine Reported On (MRO) Dashboard in MOL than the official score in MCTFS.  Late reporting of any data element, to include command input marks will cause the MCTFS JEPES score to automatically recompute.
6. Remedial Promotions
6.a.  Per reference (g), junior enlisted remedial promotions no longer require a formal request via naval correspondence from the commanding officer to initiate the remedial process unless they fall within one of the following conditions:
6.a.1.  Requests to correct entry level grades associated with a contracted private first class.
6.a.2.  Request for reservists who changed components after their requested remedial promotion date.
6.a.3.  Requests to correct a previous DOR for a Marine that already promoted.
6.b.  For all other junior enlisted remedial promotions MCTFS will automatically screen for all junior enlisted Marines who had late training or PME entries to determine if their new JEPES score meets or exceeds the cutoff from a previous month.  Those that meet the requirements and are otherwise eligible for promotion will be automatically promoted in the system.
7.  For Marine Enlisted Promotion matters call comm (703) 784-9717 or DSN 278-9717.  E-mail inquiries may be submitted to enlistedpromotions@usmc.mil.
