GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  AS OF SOFTWARE RELEASE 2-01 NAMES ARE NO LONGER
LISTED ON THE MARADMIN.  THE SELECT GRADE RANK, SENIORITY NUMBER AND
BOARD YEAR WILL BE LISTED ON THE "GRAD" SCREEN IN THE MCTFS.  UNITS

OF 1 JANUARY 2009 FOR EACH MARINE TO BE PROMOTED.
2.  UPON RECEIPT OF THIS MARADMIN AND POSTING OF A SELECT GRADE ON
THE DFR, BUT NOT PRIOR TO THE 1ST OF JANUARY 2009, COMMANDERS WILL
EFFECT THE PROMOTION OF SELECTED MARINES PER PAR 5100 OF THE REF.
CITE THIS MARADMIN AS AUTHORITY FOR PROMOTION.
3.  COMMANDERS ARE REMINDED THAT REF B REQUIRES THAT MARINES IN THE
GRADE OF GUNNERY SERGEANT AND ABOVE WHO HAVE SERVED AT LEAST 18
YEARS MUST HAVE 2 QUALIFYING YEARS (50 POINTS PER YEAR) BEFORE BEING
ELIGIBLE TO TRANSFER TO THE RESERVE RETIRED LIST AT THE NEXT HIGHER
GRADE.  BEFORE DELIVERING APPOINTMENT CERTIFICATES TO MARINES IN
THIS CATEGORY, COMMANDERS MUST ENSURE EACH MARINE HAS SUFFICIENT
OBLIGATED SERVICE REMAINING ON THEIR RESERVE END OF CURRENT CONTRACT
TO ENABLE THEM TO SERVE AT LEAST 2 YEARS OR UNTIL SERVICE LIMITS IN
THE GRADE TO WHICH PROMOTED.  IF THE MARINE REFUSES TO EXTEND OR
REENLIST TO HAVE SUFFICIENT OBLIGATED SERVICE, INFORM CMC (MMPR-2)
OF THE MARINE'S REFUSAL.
4.  COMMANDERS ARE REMINDED OF THEIR INHERENT RESPONSIBILITIES IN
THE ENLISTED PROMOTION SYSTEM.  THOROUGHLY REVIEW THE RECORD OF EACH
SELECTED MARINE PRIOR TO DELIVERY OF THE CERTIFICATE OF APPOINTMENT
TO ENSURE THE MARINE HAS CONTINUED TO MAINTAIN THE HIGH STANDARDS OF
PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL PERFORMANCE WHICH LED TO SELECTION.  YOU
ARE ENJOINED TO REVIEW PAR 1200.4, 1204 AND 3107 OF THE REF.  UPON
COMPLETION OF THE REVIEW OF APPLICABLE RECORDS, IF THE COMMANDER'S
INTENT IS TO DELAY OR REVOKE THE PROMOTION OF A SELECTED MARINE THE
REF PROVIDES SPECIFIC GUIDANCE AND REPORTING INSTRUCTIONS.
5.  THE NUMBERS LISTED IN PARAGRAPH 6 INDICATE THE SENIORITY NUMBER
PROMOTED THE PREVIOUS MONTH AND THE TOTAL NUMBER TO BE PROMOTED FOR
THE CURRENT MONTH.  HOWEVER, THE NUMBERS MAY NOT ALWAYS ADD UP.
THIS IS DUE TO MARINES SELECTED NONCOMPETITIVELY (WO SELECTS) WHO
ARE ASSIGNED A SENIORITY NUMBER WITH AN ALPHA LETTER, MARINES WHO
ARE DISCHARGED, AND MARINES IN A PROMOTION RESTRICTION STATUS.  TO
AVOID ERRONEOUS PROMOTIONS OF SNCOS IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT COMMANDERS
FOLLOW THE GUIDANCE IN PARAGRAPH 1 AND ONLY PROMOTE MARINES WITH A
SELECT GRADE DATE IN THE MCTFS.
