GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  Upon receipt of this MARADMIN, but not prior to
1 September 2026, Commanders will effect the promotion of selected 
Marines per paragraph 5100 of reference (a).  Cite this MARADMIN as 
authority for promotion.
2.  Marines who do not possess an Expiration of Active Service or 
Reserve Expiration of Current Contract of 31 August 2028 or later 
are not authorized to be promoted.  Marines who do not comply with 
Obligated Service (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.a.  For additional details regarding OBS, Sequenced Professional 
Military Education, Commander requirements, and requests for 
promotion backdates, visit the Enlisted Promotions website at 
https://www.manpower.marines.mil, click on “Divisions” / “Manpower
Management” / “Performance-Branch” / “Promotion-Section” / “Enlisted
Promotions” / “SNCOs.”
2.b.  Projections are an estimate only.  Based off monthly promotion
MARADMINS, there may be instances requiring an additional extension 
to be completed.
3.  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 (b).  Numbers may not always add up

restrictions.
