GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  Upon receipt of this Marine Administrative 
Message (MARADMIN), but not prior to 2 July 2026, Commanders will
effect the promotion of selected Marines.  Cite this MARADMIN as 
authority for promotion.

Cashwell Jr., B.N.       903
2.b.  To Gunnery Sergeant.  
Name                     MCC

3.  Marines who are selected to the ranks of SSgt through 
SgtMaj/MGySgt, to include meritorious promotions, must have at least
24-months of obligated service (OBS) remaining on contract beginning
on the date of their promotion.  If the Marine refuses to extend or
reenlist to have sufficient obligated service, inform CMC (MMPB-11)
of the Marine's refusal.
3.a.  Marines who do not comply with OBS requirements prior to 2 
July 2026 are not authorized to be promoted and will not have their
promotion effected in the Marine Corps Total Forces System (MCTFS)
until they comply.
3.b.  Commanders are authorized to locally extend Marines who are 
identified as not being in compliance with OBS requirements.  Unit 
Career Counselors or other unit representatives completing the NAVMC
321A must cite this MARADMIN as the authority.  Only the Commanding
Officer or those serving in an acting capacity may sign the NAVMC 
321A as the Administering Officer.  Commanding Officers are not 
authorized to extend those Marines with a draw case code (DCC) of 
AF, AH, AX, or AY.  Marines with those DCCs must submit their 
extension for promotion to MMEA (HQMC) via the Total Force Retention
System for appropriate action.  Marines on limited duty or pending
evaluation by a PEB may not be extended using this authority. 
4.  The Marine's immediate commander with promotion authority is 
responsible for generating and presenting the certificate of 
appointment.  The first General Officer may sign meritorious 
warrants at his or her discretion.
5.  In accordance with the provisions of reference (a), authority is
granted to meritoriously promote the Marines listed above with a 
date of rank and effective date of 2 July 2026. 
6.  Congratulations to these Marines for exemplary performance and
well-deserved meritorious promotion.
