GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  AUTHORITY.  Refs (a) through (i) regulate all Marine Corps officer promotions.  This message is the authority for commanding officers to effect promotions.  Per the refs, CMC (MMPB-10) will not effect an officer's promotion until that officer's name appears on a promotion MARADMIN or CMC message.  MMPB-10 will mail appropriate commissions to parent commands under separate cover.  Expect 4-6 weeks for delivery.  The commission is not the legal authority to promote and is not required to effect the promotion.  For the purposes of conducting a promotion ceremony, sample commissions and the oath of office are located in chapter 6 of ref (b) or the Officer Promotions homepage at www.Marines.mil.  Under "Marines/Career," click on "Promotions."  Click on "Officer Promotions," look under the "Reference" tab on the right side of the page.
2.  All officers promoted to the rank of colonel must follow the requirements directed by MCO 5750.1H, pages 2-5, for submissions of personal information to the Director of Marine Corps History (HRD) Division.  See paragraph 15 for mailing address and POC information.

8.  Delay of Promotion
8.a.  Commanding Officer Determination.  Per refs (b) and (g), if the respective commanding officer determines that an officer is not mentally, physically, morally, or professionally qualified for promotion, the promotion shall not be effected.  This includes the physical examination requirement for reserve officers per section 10206 of ref (a).  Ref (a) requires written notification to the officer of the grounds for delay before the effective date of the appointment, unless it is impracticable to do so, in which case the notice shall be given as soon as practicable.  Commanding Officers must also notify CMC (MMPB-10) prior to the effective date of the appointment so that the promotion is not effected in Marine Corps Total Force System (MCTFS) and to allow for the initiation of administrative action.  Refs (a), (b), (c), and (e) contain guidelines for the timely submission of supporting documentation.
8.b.  Adverse Screening Process.  Before the release of this promotion authority, all officers were screened for adverse or potentially adverse information.  CMC (MMPB-10) removed the names of those officers with records identified during the adverse screening process as containing adverse or potentially adverse information from the promotion authority MARADMIN.  Those officers will receive correspondence under separate cover from CMC (JPL).
9.  Retirement and Transfer.  Officers considering voluntary retirement should review ref (d) for service obligation prior to acceptance of promotion.  An officer's selection for promotion carries over into the reserve, between AR and SMCR-IRR, and with augmentation into the regular component.
10.  Accepting and Declining Promotion.  Any regular or reserve officer who is promoted under the refs is considered to have accepted such promotion on the effective date contained in paragraphs 3 through 7 (for purposes of date of rank, pay, and allowances in the grade to which promoted).  To decline a promotion, an officer is required to submit a letter of declination to CMC (MMPB-10) expressly at the time their command notifies them of their promotion and directs that they begin wearing the insignia of the next higher grade.  Any statement or action by the officer which signals their acceptance of the promotion, forever waives their right to decline.
11.  The following FY23 promotions are projected for June 2024 and are subject to change.  Promotions from the remaining FY23 boards will be promulgated based on vacancy determination.
