5. Obligated Service
5.a. Upon release of this MARADMIN any Marine listed in paragraph 3
is authorized to submit the necessary reenlistment or extension
request and obtain additional obligated service (OBS) requirements
to avoid a delay in their promotion. Cite this MARADMIN as the
authority to locally extend Marines to satisfy OBS requirements.
5.b. If a Marine refuses to extend or reenlist to meet
OBS requirement, the commander will inform Manpower Management
Division (MM), Performance Branch, Enlisted Promotions Unit
(MMPB-11) of the Marine’s refusal via naval letter. MMPB-11 will
remove the Marine’s seniority number and the Marine is ineligible
for consideration on future promotion boards.
6. Alternate Selection List
6.a. The board selected nine alternates. MMPB-11 will report the
draw case code AS for all alternate selects.
6.b. MMPB-11 will notify alternates of their selection via a Marine
On-Line (MOL) message and post an alphabetized list of alternates on
the Enlisted Promotions Unit website.
6.c. Alternates will not incur a failure of selection. A letter
annotating selection as an alternate will post to the Marine's
Official Military Personnel File (OMPF).
6.d. Marines selected as alternates will not have a seniority
number run in Marine Corps Total Force System (MCTFS). MMPB-11 will
assign seniority numbers based on service requirements. If
activated, alternates will promote after the primary select list
clears.
6.e. Alternates must gain OBS within 30 days of activation
notification.
6.f. Alternates may receive permanent change of assignment (PCA),
or permanent change of station (PCS) orders based on service
requirements. All assignment policies remain in effect related to
OBS and PCA/PCS orders.
7. Refusal of orders by either a primary or alternate will result
in removal of the Marine’s seniority number and the Marine is
ineligible for future promotion selection board consideration.
8. Marines listed in paragraph 3 were selected from the IMOS table
listed in MARADMINS 402/25 and 477/25. This MARADMIN does not
constitute authority to change the Marine's primary MOS where the
feeder MOS for a selectee does not provide skill progression to the
IMOS.
9. Remedial Promotion Consideration
9.a. Requests for remedial promotion consideration must be
submitted to the MMPB-11 organizational mailbox at
smb_manpower_enlisted_promotions@usmc.mil.
9.b. Marines must explain all actions taken prior to the board
convening to demonstrate due diligence required for favorable
consideration of remedial promotion requests.
10. Commanders will immediately notify MMPB-11 of intent to delay
or revoke the selection of any Marine listed in this MARADMIN.
Forward requests via the chain of command up to the first general
officer. Commanders must ensure the Marine receives an opportunity
to review the command's recommendation and opt to/not to submit a
statement.
11. Marines considered and not selected may contact the Enlisted
Career Counselors (MMPB-24) at DSN: 278-9241 or comm (703) 784-9241
to receive an evaluation of their OMPF and gain insight on improving
their competitiveness. Due to the confidentiality of the selection
board process, MMPB-24 does not provide board deliberation matters
related to non-selection.
12. This MARADMIN is not applicable to the Marine Corps Reserve.
13. For Enlisted Promotion matters call DSN: 278-3440,
comm (703) 784-3440, or email:
smb_manpower_enlisted_promotions@usmc.mil.
