GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. Purpose. To announce the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026
non-SDA meritorious promotion allocations.
2. Commands listed below will convene selection boards to nominate
Marines for meritorious promotion by the Commandant of the Marine

to that grade if their seniority number has not been reached. Upon
review and approval, Enlisted Promotions Unit (MMPB-11), reports
unit diary entries so commanders can prepare certificates of
appointment. Selected Marines must have at least 24 months
obligated service remaining on contract from the date of promotion.
3. Per reference (b), meritorious promotion allocations for Gunnery
Sergeant (GySgt) and Staff Sergeant (SSgt) are:
