GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  Upon receipt of this Marine Administrative 
Message (MARADMIN) and posting of the notification via Marine On 
Line (MOL), but not prior to 1 August 2024, Commanders will effect 
the promotion of selected Marines per paragraph 5100 of 
reference (a).  Cite this MARADMIN as authority for promotion.
2.  Obligated Service (OBS)
2.a.  This MARADMIN gives commanders the authority to locally extend
Marines immediately, using the projected table in paragraphs 7-9, 
to ensure they possess the 24 months obligated service required from
the date of their promotion.  Marines are not required to wait until
their seniority number is reached each month to gain OBS.
2.b.  Commanding Officers cannot extend those Marines with draw case
code (DCC) of AF, AH, AX, or AY.  Marines with those DCCs must 
submit their extension to MMEA (HQMC) via the Total Force Retention 
System (TFRS).
2.c.  Marines who fall under the purview of the FY24/FY25 Enlisted 
Retention Campaign may submit for reenlistment via a streamlined 
submission process.  
2.d.  Marines should work with their Career Planner to gain OBS as 
soon as possible to avoid promotion delays.
2.e.  Marines in medical status, to include limited duty or
pending evaluation by a PEB, and meet all other requirements are
eligible for promotion without an extension.
2.f.  Marines selected for promotion in the active duty and 
departing to affiliate with the RC may retain their selection if 
OBS compliance is met via the Direct Affiliation Program.  
Commands will inform MMPB-11 when a Marine has met OBS compliance 
with an approved RC affiliation contract.  This obligation may be 
met in the following components of the Ready Reserve:
2.f.1.  Selected Marine Corps Reserve (SMCR). 
2.f.2.  Individual Mobilization Augmentees (IMA).
2.f.3.  Active Reserve (AR).
2.f.4.  Individual Ready Reserve (IRR). 
2.g.  Marines who do not comply with OBS requirements before their
seniority number being reached will receive a date of rank and
effective date for the 1st of the following month after compliance
with OBS.
2.h.  Commands must inform MMPB-11 if a Marine refuses to extend or
reenlist to gain OBS.  MMPB-11 will remove the Marine’s name from 
the appropriate selection list unless a Marine executes a direct 
affiliation contract from active to reserves. 
2.i.  Refusal of OBS makes a Marine ineligible for all future 
promotion selection boards within the same component but not does 
not transfer between components.
3.  Commanders will review each Marines record prior to delivery of 
the certificate of appointment to ensure they continue to maintain 
the high standards of professional and personal performance which 
led to selection.  Reference (a) provides specific guidance and 
reporting instructions for Commanders requesting promotion delay 
or revocation of a selected Marine. 
4.  Per references (c) and (d), Commanders will change a Marine's 
PMOS to the next career progression MOS when they are promoted above
the grade ceiling for that PMOS and they complete the requisite MOS 
generating school. 
5.  Commanders who have Marines attached to their command/unit/det
in a temporary additional duty status must seek concurrence from the
Marine's parent command prior to effecting promotion.
6.  The numbers listed below indicate the senior number promoted the
previous month and the total number of Marines being promoted for
the current month per reference (e).  Numbers may not always add up
due to noncompetitive selections (WO, MECEP selects; assigned a 
seniority number with an alpha letter), discharges, and promotion 
restrictions.
