GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  AS ANNOUNCED BY REF A, THE FY07 RESERVE STAFF
NONCOMMISSIONED OFFICER SELECTION BOARD WILL CONVENE ON 9 JAN 07 AT
HARRY LEE HALL, MARINE CORPS BASE, QUANTICO, VA, FOR A PERIOD OF
ABOUT 9 WEEKS.  THE INFORMATION IN THIS MARADMIN PERTAINS TO MEMBERS
OF THE SELECTED MARINE CORPS RESERVE (SMCR) AND INDIVIDUAL READY
RESERVE (IRR) ONLY.
2.  ALL INDIVIDUAL READY RESERVE (IRR) MARINES WILL BE CONSIDERED
FOR PROMOTION IN THE IRR CATEGORY.  ALL SELECTED MARINE CORPS
RESERVE (SMCR) MARINES, INCLUDING IMA, SMCR, AND LIMITED TOUR AR
WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR PROMOTION IN THE SMCR CATEGORY.  THIS IS A
SIGNIFICANT CHANGE FROM THE PREVIOUS PROMOTION POLICY WHEREBY
MOBILIZED IRR MARINES WERE CONSIDERED IN THE SMCR POPULATION.
3.  RESERVE MARINES SERVING ON TEMPORARY ACTIVE DUTY CONTRACTS, NOT
TO EXCEED THREE YEARS, ARE REFERRED TO AS LIMITED TOUR AR MARINES.
DUE TO THE TIME RESTRICTED NATURE OF THE LIMITED TOUR AR PROGRAM,
LIMITED TOUR AR MARINES WILL NOT COMPETE FOR PROMOTION WITHIN THE AR
CATEGORY BUT WILL COMPETE WITHIN THE SMCR CATEGORY BY OCCUPATIONAL
FIELD (OCCFLD).  LIMITED TOUR AR MARINES MAY COMPETE FOR SELECTION
TO FIRST SERGEANT; HOWEVER, IF SELECTED, THEIR LIMITED TOUR AR
CONTRACTS WILL BE TERMINATED ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE FOURTH MONTH
AFTER THEIR PROMOTION TO FIRST SERGEANT IS EFFECTED.  NO EXCEPTIONS
TO THIS POLICY WILL BE GRANTED.  POINTS OF CONTACT FOR INFORMATION
CONCERNING THIS POLICY ARE LTCOL COOK AT DSN 278-9105 OR COMM (703)
784-9105.
4.  GUNNERY SERGEANTS AND FIRST SERGEANTS WHO ARE MEMBERS OF THE IRR
AND ARE ELIGIBLE FOR CONSIDERATION FOR SELECTION TO FIRST SERGEANT
AND SERGEANT MAJOR, RESPECTIVELY, WILL COMPETE FOR SELECTION WITH
THE SMCR MARINES.  IRR MARINES CONSIDERED FOR SELECTION TO FIRST
SERGEANT IN THE SMCR WHO ARE NOT SELECTED AND WHO ARE ELIGIBLE FOR
SELECTION TO MASTER SERGEANT WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR SELECTION TO
MASTER SERGEANT WITHIN THE IRR CATEGORY.
5.  TO BE CONSIDERED FULLY QUALIFIED FOR SELECTION, GUNNERY
SERGEANTS IN EITHER THE SMCR OR IRR WHO DESIRE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR
SELECTION TO FIRST SERGEANT MUST SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF
THE SELECTION BOARD STATING THEIR WILLINGNESS TO SERVE IN AVAILABLE
FIRST SERGEANT BILLETS, IF SELECTED FOR PROMOTION TO FIRST SERGEANT.
A SEPARATE MARADMIN WILL BE PUBLISHED BY THE DIRECTOR, RESERVE
AFFAIRS DIVISION, THAT LISTS AVAILABLE SMCR FIRST SERGEANT BILLETS.
FIRST SERGEANT LETTERS SHOULD BE SUBMITTED TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE
FY07 RESERVE SNCO SELECTION BOARD BY 2359 (EASTERN STANDARD TIME) ON
THE DAY PRIOR TO THE CONVENING DATE OF THE BOARD AND SHOULD BE
MAILED IN A SEPARATE ENVELOPE TO ANY OTHER UPDATE MATERIAL.
6.  PER REF B, PROFESSIONAL MILITARY EDUCATION (PME) REQUIREMENTS
FOR ALL FY07 SNCO SELECTION BOARDS ARE WAIVED.  HOWEVER, ALL MARINES
ELIGIBLE FOR PROMOTION CONSIDERATION SHOULD CONTINUE TO STRIVE TO
THE BEST OF THEIR ABILITY TO COMPLETE THEIR PME REQUIREMENTS.  THIS
SELECTION BOARD WILL STILL CONSIDER PME AS ONE OF THE MANY FACTORS
IN A MARINE'S RECORD TO DETERMINE THE BEST QUALIFIED FOR PROMOTION;
HOWEVER, COMPLETION OF PME IS NOT A REQUIREMENT FOR SELECTION.
7.  ALL MARINES WHO MEET THE DATE OF RANK (DOR) AND, IF APPLICABLE,
THE PAY ENTRY BASE DATE (PEBD) CUTOFF CONTAINED IN THIS MARADMIN FOR
THEIR OCCUPATIONAL FIELD (OCCFLD), WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR SELECTION
TO THE NEXT HIGHER GRADE.

DESCRIPTION, PRIMARY MILITARY OCCUPATIONAL SPECIALTY (PMOS),
INTENDED MILITARY OCCUPATIONAL SPECIALTY (IMOS), PHYSICAL FITNESS

IN THE PROPER FORMAT.
  D.  ENSURE EACH ELIGIBLE MARINE SUBMITS A PHOTOGRAPH IN
