GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. The Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25) Active Reserve (AR)
Staff Noncommissioned Officer (SNCO) Promotion Selection Board (PSB)
will convene on Tuesday, 4 February 2025 at 2008 Elliot Road, Marine
Corps Base, Quantico, VA, for a period of about 10 days to consider
eligible E-5 through E-8 Marines for selection to the next grade.
2. For additional details regarding Marine Responsibilities,
Commander Responsibilities, Board Eligibility, Removal from
Consideration, Professional Military Education requirements, and
Alternate Selection visit the Enlisted Promotions (MMPB-11) website
at https://www.manpower.marines.mil click on “Manpower Management” /
“Performance Branch" / “Promotion Section” / “Enlisted" / “Staff
NCO Promotions” and “Preparation”.
3. All correspondence submitted to the President of the board must
be received no later than 2359, Eastern Standard Time (EST) on 26
January 2025.
4. Details for updating the Marine Corps Total Force System (MCTFS)
and Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) are listed on the
MMPB-11 website.
5. Component/Category Changes
5.a. Marines are considered based on the category affiliated with
at 2359 EST on 3 February 2025. Any changes made between active
component, SMCR, IMA, and IRR after this date will not make a Marine
eligible for consideration.
5.b. Marines selected who subsequently transfer to the active
component prior to their selection number being reached, must submit
an exception-to-policy request to RAP-2, copying MPP-20 and
MMPB-11, via their chain of command up through the first general
officer to retain their promotion selection. If not approved, the
Marine's selection will be deleted and they will compete for
selection on the next PSB for which they are eligible.
5.c. Marines assigned to Extended Active Duty (EAD) recruiting must
be assigned to the AR on the date the board convenes to be
considered.
6. The table below lists the MOS's that "feed into" the Intended
MOS (IMOS) at the next higher grade indicated. Marines serving in a
basic MOS are considered in their IMOS. Marines with a Primary MOS
(PMOS) listed in column (A) as a feeder MOS compete for promotion to
the IMOS listed in column (B), provided they meet the eligibility
requirements listed in paragraph 10 below. Note: The AR program
does not rate PMOS 8422 staff sergeants, however, they are allowed
to join the program. The 8422 population is considered a critical
MOS in the AR program and therefore authorizes staff sergeants to
join the population prior to holding the rank of gunnery sergeant.
Marines in the 8422 population will maintain their previous PMOS
until they are promoted. Those who meet the TIG and TIS when the
promotion board is in session are eligible. Packages for 8422 staff
sergeants will be screened using their 8422 Intended MOS (IMOS),
vice their PMOS.
