CONSIDERATION FOR PROMOTION IS DETERMINED AS OF THE DATE THE BOARD

MINIMUM TIG BY THE CONVENING DATE OF THE BOARD, THEN THE OFFICER IS

THE RESERVE ACTIVE-STATUS LIST (RASL) OR THE ACTIVE-DUTY LIST (ADL)
(OR A COMBINATION OF BOTH LISTS) FOR A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR. SERVICE

AND IRR) AND IN AN ACTIVE STATUS OF THE STANDBY RESERVE.
D. U.S. CITIZENSHIP. AN OFFICER ON THE ADL IN THE GRADE OF
CAPTAIN WHO IS NOT A U.S. CITIZEN MAY NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR
PROMOTION TO THE GRADE OF MAJOR.
5. REQUEST FOR DEFERMENT OF ELIGIBILITY. PER REF B, DEFERMENT OF
ELIGIBILITY IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE OFFICERS WHO ENTERED ACTIVE DUTY,
AND HAVE BEEN PLACED ON THE ADL, AN OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAIN
ACTIVE-DUTY EXPERIENCE, QUALIFICATIONS, AND SIGNIFICANT EVALUATION
BEFORE BEING CONSIDERED BY A BOARD. REQUESTS FOR DEFERMENT MUST BE
IN WRITING AND SUBMITTED TO CMC (MMPR-1) AT LEAST TWO DAYS BEFORE
THE DATE THE BOARD CONVENES. OFFICERS APPROVED FOR DEFERMENT WILL
BE CONSIDERED BY A SUBSEQUENT BOARD IN THE SAME ZONE (IN-ZONE OR
ABOVE-ZONE, AS APPLICABLE) THAT THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED HAD
THEIR ELIGIBILITY NOT BEEN DEFERRED.
6. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITIES. EACH OFFICER IS PERSONALLY
RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THE ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF HIS OR HER
OFFICIAL MILITARY PERSONNEL FILE (OMPF) AND MASTER BRIEF SHEET (MBS)
WITHIN 12 MONTHS FROM THE DATE THE BOARD CONVENES. THE OMPF AND MBS
CAN BE OBTAINED BY FAX, E-MAIL, OR WRITTEN REQUEST TO CMC (MMSB-10).
SEE REF C TO DETERMINE WHAT IS AN APPROPRIATE DOCUMENT FOR INCLUSION
IN THE OMPF. REF D ANNOUNCED THAT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WAS ADDED
TO THE MBS. OFFICERS SHOULD REVIEW REF D AND ENSURE THEY ADHERE TO
THE GUIDANCE PROVIDED. IF DEFICIENCIES, MISSING INFORMATION, OR
UNREADABLE DOCUMENTS ARE PRESENT IN THEIR OMPF OR MBS, OFFICERS ARE
PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THE PROBLEM OFFICIALLY WITH
CMC (MMSB-20). OFFICERS ARE REMINDED THAT ANY ADDITIONS OR
DELETIONS FROM THEIR OMPF OR MBS WITHIN THE 12-MONTH WINDOW SHOULD
ALSO BE VERIFIED TO ENSURE THE ACCURACY AND
COMPLETENESS OF THEIR RECORD. OFFICERS ARE ADVISED THAT THE OMPF
AND MBS ARE DISTRIBUTED TO THE BOARDROOM AT LEAST ONE WEEK BEFORE
THE DATE THE BOARD CONVENES. THEREFORE, TO ALLOW PROCESSING TIME
FOR FILING IN THE OMPF, ALL OMPF DOCUMENTS (EXCLUDING FITNESS
REPORTS), TO INCLUDE DIGITAL PHOTOS, MUST BE FORWARDED TO AND
RECEIVED BY CMC (MMSB-20) AT LEAST TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THE DATE THE
BOARD CONVENES. FITNESS REPORTS ARE DUE TO CMC (MMSB-30) BY THE
TIME-LINES NOTED IN REF E. BOARD ELIGIBLE RECORDS ARE UPDATED UNTIL
THE CONVENING DATE OF THE BOARD. HOWEVER, OFFICERS ARE HIGHLY
ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT ALL MATERIAL NO LATER THAN TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO
THE BOARD FOR WHICH THEY ARE ELIGIBLE. AFTER CHECKING THEIR
RECORDS, ACTIVE COMPONENT OFFICERS WHO HAVE SPECIFIC CONCERNS ABOUT
SOME ASPECT OF THEIR RECORDS MAY CONTACT THE CAREER COUNSELORS, CMC
(MMOA-4) FOR ASSISTANCE. RESERVE OFFICERS MAY CONTACT THE RESERVE
AFFAIRS CAREER MANAGEMENT TEAM (CMT) FOR ASSISTANCE.
A. FITNESS REPORTS. FOR FITNESS REPORTS TO BECOME PART OF THE
OMPF, THE FITNESS REPORTS MUST BE SUBMITTED TO CMC (MMSB-30). THE
AUTOMATED PERFORMANCE EVALUATION SYSTEM (APES) IS THE PREFERRED
METHOD OF SUBMITTING FITNESS REPORTS. IF A PAPER VERSION IS
SUBMITTED, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE FORWARDING ENVELOPE IS
CONSPICUOUSLY MARKED "CONTAINS FITREPS FOR FY07 (APPROPRIATE BOARD)
SELECTION BOARD." FAILURE TO SUBMIT FITNESS REPORTS IN ACCORDANCE
WITH FITNESS REPORTING TIME-LINES CAUSES CMC (MMSB-30) TO BE
INUNDATED WITH LATE FITNESS REPORTS. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT CMC
(MMSB-30) HAVE AMPLE TIME TO REVIEW ALL FITNESS REPORTS, THEREFORE,
COMMANDING OFFICERS MUST ENSURE THAT ALL FITNESS REPORT TIME-LINES
NOTED IN REF E ARE MET.
(1) DATE GAPS MUST BE CORRECTED IAW CHAPTER 8 AND APPENDIX I
OF REF F OR CHAPTER 8 AND APPENDIX H AND I OF REF G, AS APPLICABLE.
IF MISSING REPORTS ARE LESS THAN ONE YEAR OLD, A RECONSTRUCTED
ORIGINAL IS REQUIRED. COPIES OF THE COMPLETED FITNESS REPORTS OVER
ONE YEAR OLD MUST HAVE ALL PAGES CERTIFIED AS TRUE BY ONE OF THE
REPORTING OFFICIALS SHOWN IN BLOCKS 11 OR 25 OF THE REPORT.
REVIEWING OFFICER ACTION MAY BE ACCOMPLISHED AT CMC (MMSB-30) FOR
REPORTS MORE THAN ONE YEAR OLD AND NOT ADVERSE.
(2) ADVERSE REPORTS MUST BE REVIEWED PER THE PROVISIONS OF
CHAPTER 5 OF REFS F OR G, AS APPLICABLE.
(3) OFFICERS MUST BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE HEIGHT/WEIGHT
STANDARDS PRESCRIBED IN REF H. FITNESS REPORTS SUBMITTED UNDER
REFS F AND G MUST CONTAIN A DIRECTED COMMENT IN SECTIONS I AND C,
RESPECTIVELY, OF THE FITNESS REPORT IF THE OFFICER EXCEEDS
HEIGHT/WEIGHT STANDARDS AND IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH PERCENTAGE
BODY FAT LIMITS. OFFICERS WHO EXCEED THE HEIGHT/WEIGHT STANDARDS,
AND WHOSE FITNESS REPORTS DO NOT INCLUDE BODY FAT INFORMATION,
MUST PROVIDE OFFICIAL DOCUMENTATION REFLECTING BODY FAT PERCENTAGE
TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD.
B. PHOTOGRAPHS. AN OFFICIAL PHOTO, TAKEN WITHIN 12 MONTHS FROM
THE DATE THE BOARD CONVENES IS REQUIRED TO BE ELECTRONICALLY FILED
IN THE OMPF. SEE REFS I AND J FOR THE SPECIFICATIONS REQUIRED FOR
THE SUBMISSION OF DIGITAL PHOTOS.
(1) IF AN AUTHORIZED CVIC IS NOT LOCATED NEAR AN OFFICER'S
COMMAND AND SOME OTHER MEANS OF TAKING A DIGITAL PHOTO IS AVAILABLE,
A DIGITAL PHOTO MAY BE E-MAILED VIA THE COMMAND'S ORGANIZATIONAL
MAILBOX OR VIA THE CO, XO, OR SGTMAJ OF THE COMMAND TO THE FOLLOWING
E-MAIL ADDRESS: PHOTO@MANPOWER.USMC.MIL. THE PHOTO MUST BE PREPARED
PER THE TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS LISTED IN REF I. IT IS THE COMMAND'S
RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THE PHOTO HAS ALL THE REQUIRED INFORMATION
ON THE TITLE BOARD AND TO ENSURE THE PHOTO HAS NOT BEEN ALTERED. IF
THE PHOTO IS NOT ACCORDING TO THE SPECIFICATIONS LISTED IN REF I,
THE COMMAND WILL BE NOTIFIED THAT THE PHOTO HAS BEEN REJECTED.
ALTERNATIVELY, IF ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL PHOTOS IS NOT
POSSIBLE, OFFICERS MUST SUBMIT A HARD-COPY PHOTO TO THE BOARD.
(2) PER THE GUIDANCE IN REF K, OFFICERS WHO ARE DEPLOYED AND
DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE UNIFORM PRESCRIBED IN REF C WILL TAKE THE
PHOTO IN UTILITIES MINUS THE UTILITY BLOUSE. THE TITLE BOARD WILL
INCLUDE THE WORD "DEPLOYED" DISPLAYED PROMINENTLY ACROSS THE TOP OF
THE BOARD AS WELL AS ALL OTHER INFORMATION REQUIRED BY REFS C, I,
AND J. FOR THE PURPOSE OF PHOTO CLARITY, THE PHOTO SHOULD BE TAKEN
AGAINST A PLAIN BACKGROUND.
(3) OFFICERS HAVE A PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THEIR
PHOTO IS SUBMITTED IN THEIR OMPF AND MAY CONFIRM RECEIPT OF THE
PHOTO BY CONTACTING CMC (MMSB-20) OR BY CHECKING THE MMSB HOMEPAGE.
BE ADVISED THAT ALTHOUGH A PHOTO MAY BE OVER 12 MONTHS OLD, THE
PHOTO WILL REMAIN IN THE OMPF UNTIL AN UPDATED PHOTO IS SUBMITTED.
THEREFORE, WHEN REVIEWING THE MMSB HOMEPAGE, PAY PARTICULAR
ATTENTION TO THE RECEIPT DATE OF THE PHOTO TO ENSURE THE MOST
CURRENT PHOTO SUBMITTED WAS RECEIVED BY CMC (MMSB-20). OFFICERS
DESIRING TO CONFIRM THE DATE OF THE PHOTO FILED IN THE OMPF SHOULD
CALL CMC (MMSB-20). OFFICERS WHO SUBMIT A HARD-COPY PHOTO TO THE
PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD MAY CONFIRM RECEIPT OF THE HARD-COPY PHOTO
THROUGH THE OFFICER PROMOTION HOMEPAGE.
C. PROFESSIONAL MILITARY EDUCATION (PME). THE SELECTION
GUIDANCE (PRECEPTS) FOR MANY BOARDS INCLUDES A REMINDER OF THE
IMPORTANCE OF PME, WHETHER RESIDENT OR NON-RESIDENT, IN AN OFFICER'S
DEVELOPMENT. OFFICERS ARE ADVISED TO ENSURE THAT PME COMPLETION
CERTIFICATES ARE INCLUDED IN THEIR OMPF AND THAT COURSE COMPLETION
INFORMATION IS NOTED ON THEIR MBS. IN CASES WHERE AN OFFICER HAS
NOT COMPLETED PME, BUT HAS COMPLETED ONE OR MORE SUB-COURSES OF THAT
PME, THE OFFICER MAY SEND A PERSONAL COMMUNICATION TO THE PRESIDENT
OF THE BOARD DESCRIBING PROGRESS IN COMPLETING THE PME AND INCLUDE
DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE OF ANY SUB-COURSE COMPLETION. RECRUITING
STATION OFFICERS FOR WHOM REF L APPLIES MAY SEND A PERSONAL
COMMUNICATION TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD DESCRIBING THEIR PME
STATUS. SEE REFS M AND N FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING PME.
7. COMMUNICATION WITH THE BOARD. EACH OFFICER MAY COMMUNICATE WITH
THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD. BY LAW SUCH PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS
MUST BE IN WRITING AND RECEIVED OR HAND-DELIVERED TO HARRY LEE HALL
NO LATER THAN MIDNIGHT (EASTERN TIME) ON THE DATE THE BOARD
CONVENES. HOWEVER, IT IS REQUESTED THAT OFFICERS SUBMIT SUCH
PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS TO CMC (MMPR-1) AT LEAST FIVE WORKING DAYS
BEFORE THE DATE THE BOARD CONVENES. THIS FIVE-DAY PERIOD PROVIDES
CMC (MMPR-1) SUFFICIENT TIME TO REVIEW THE MATERIAL, RECONCILE
DISCREPANCIES, AND ENTER THE MATERIAL IN THE UPDATE MATERIAL
DATABASE. THE INFORMATION IN THIS DATABASE IS THEN UP-LOADED TO THE
INTERNET SO THAT OFFICERS CAN PERSONALLY CONFIRM RECEIPT OF THE
MATERIAL VIA THE OFFICER PROMOTION HOMEPAGE. IN ADDITION, DO NOT
SEND DUPLICATE COPIES OF UPDATE MATERIAL. DOING SO CAUSES CMC
(MMPR-1) TO AGAIN PROCESS THE MATERIAL AND FOR THE BOARD TO REVIEW
DUPLICATE COPIES OF THE MATERIALS SUBMITTED.
A. FORWARDING COMMUNICATIONS TO THE BOARD. OFFICERS MAY SUBMIT
COMMUNICATIONS VIA U.S. MAIL, PRIORITY OR NEXT DAY PACKAGES, OR FAX.
U.S. MAIL AND PRIORITY AND NEXT DAY U.S. MAIL IS NOT DELIVERED
DIRECTLY TO HARRY LEE HALL, THEREFORE, ANTICIPATE A 2-3 DAY LAG TIME
FOR FURTHER DELIVERY TO HARRY LEE HALL. COMMERCIAL NEXT DAY
CARRIERS DELIVER DIRECTLY TO HARRY LEE HALL, EXCLUDING WEEKENDS AND
HOLIDAYS. OFFICERS WITH THE CAPABILITY TO SCAN THEIR DOCUMENTS MAY
SEND THE SCANNED DOCUMENTS VIA E-MAIL DIRECTLY TO THE ORGANIZATIONAL
MAILBOX FOR CMC (MMPR-1). ENSURE THE E-MAIL SUBJECT LINE READS
"UPDATE MATERIAL FOR THE FY07 (APPROPRIATE BOARD) SELECTION BOARD."
B. UPDATE MATERIAL. OFFICERS MAY SUBMIT TO THE BOARD ANY
WRITTEN INFORMATION, TO INCLUDE WRITTEN MATERIAL THEY DEEM IMPORTANT
FOR CONSIDERATION. OMPF MATERIALS SENT DIRECTLY TO THE BOARD
PRESIDENT WILL NOT BECOME PART OF AN OFFICER'S OMPF. ADDITIONALLY,
UPDATE MATERIAL IS DESTROYED UPON FINAL APPROVAL OF THE BOARD.
ALTHOUGH OFFICERS MAY SUBMIT ANY MATERIAL AS UPDATE MATERIAL,
OFFICERS SHOULD CONTACT CMC (MMSB-30) BEFORE SUBMITTING FITNESS
REPORTS AS UPDATE MATERIAL AND CMC (MMSB-20) FOR ANY OTHER OMPF
MATERIALS. THIS PROCESS WILL ENSURE AN OFFICER'S OMPF IS
APPROPRIATELY UPDATED. THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES APPLY REGARDLESS OF
THE MEANS BY WHICH AN OFFICER SUBMITS MATERIAL, I.E., MAIL, FAX,
E-MAIL, ETC.:
(1) UPDATE MATERIAL MUST BE IN WRITING AND SUBMITTED UNDER
COVER LETTER WITH THE UPDATE MATERIAL AS ENCLOSURES (A SAMPLE COVER
LETTER IS AVAILABLE AT THE OFFICER PROMOTION HOMEPAGE);
(2) THE COVER LETTER MUST BE ADDRESSED TO PRESIDENT, FY07
(APPROPRIATE BOARD) SELECTION BOARD (SEE PARAGRAPH 11A FOR COMPLETE
ADDRESS);
(3) UPDATE MATERIAL MUST BE FROM THE ELIGIBLE OFFICER; AND
(4) THE OFFICER MUST SIGN THE COVER LETTER. MATERIAL
SUBMITTED THAT IS NOT IN WRITING, SUBMITTED WITHOUT A SIGNED COVER
LETTER, OR RECEIVED AFTER MIDNIGHT ON THE CONVENING DATE OF THE
BOARD WILL NOT BE SUBMITTED TO THE BOARD.
C. UPDATE MATERIAL RECEIPT VERIFICATION. OFFICERS DESIRING TO
VERIFY THAT CMC (MMPR-1) HAS PHYSICALLY RECEIVED UPDATE MATERIAL MAY
DO SO VIA THE OFFICER PROMOTION HOMEPAGE, AT THE EARLIEST, 30 TO 45
DAYS BEFORE THE DATE THE BOARD CONVENES. OFFICERS ARE REMINDED THAT
UPDATE MATERIAL RECEIVED BY CMC (MMPR-1) TAKES APPROXIMATELY FIVE
WORKING DAYS TO BE REVIEWED AND ENTERED IN THE UPDATE MATERIAL
DATABASE, THEREFORE, OFFICERS SHOULD NOT EXPECT TO SEE THE
INFORMATION AT THE OFFICER PROMOTION HOMEPAGE IMMEDIATELY UPON
RECEIPT BY CMC (MMPR-1). OFFICERS WHO SUBMIT UPDATE MATERIAL UNDER
THIS FIVE-DAY PERIOD SHOULD CALL CMC (MMPR-1) FOR CONFIRMATION OF
RECEIPT OF THE MATERIAL.
D. REQUEST FOR NONSELECTION. SOME OFFICERS ELIGIBLE FOR
PROMOTION MAY PLAN TO LEAVE ACTIVE DUTY AND DESIRE TO WRITE TO THE
PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD REQUESTING THEY NOT BE SELECTED FOR
PROMOTION. ANY OFFICER WHO WRITES SUCH A LETTER TO THE BOARD WILL
STILL BE CONSIDERED FOR PROMOTION AND WILL INCUR A FAILURE OF
SELECTION IF NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PROMOTION BY THE BOARD. UNDER
CURRENT LAW, AN OFFICER WHO SUBMITS A REQUEST NOT TO BE SELECTED
FOR PROMOTION, OR WHO OTHERWISE DIRECTLY CAUSED HIS OR HER
NONSELECTION THROUGH WRITTEN COMMUNICATION TO THE BOARD, IS NOT
ENTITLED TO SEPARATION PAY IF INVOLUNTARILY DISCHARGED FROM ACTIVE
DUTY. THIS PERTAINS TO ALL ACTIVE DUTY BOARDS, WITH THE EXCEPTION
OF THE CWO BOARD.
8. IN ADDITION TO THE INFORMATION IN PARAGRAPH 7 ABOVE, RESERVE
OFFICERS MUST ACCOMPLISH THE FOLLOWING:
A. CAREER RETIREMENT CREDIT REPORT (CRCR). THE CRCR IS
PROVIDED TO RESERVE BOARDS AS A QUANTITATIVE MEASURE OF ACTIVE
PARTICIPATION. THE CRCR SUMMARIZES RETIREMENT QUALIFICATION AND IS
ALSO USED AS A CONTINUATION ELIGIBILITY DETERMINANT. THEREFORE, IT
IS IMPERATIVE THAT EACH OFFICER REVIEWS HIS OR HER CRCR. IT IS THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH OFFICER TO ENSURE THE CRCR IS ACCURATE. PER
REF O, SCREENING WILL BE CONDUCTED ANNUALLY. OFFICERS SHOULD
IDENTIFY DISCREPANCIES AND PROVIDE UPDATING OR MODIFYING CRCR
INFORMATION TO THEIR INSPECTOR-INSTRUCTOR OR COMMANDING OFFICER
DURING THESE AUDITS. RESERVE UNIT COMMANDERS WILL CORRECT
DISCREPANCIES VIA THE UNIT DIARY. IRR AND IMA OFFICERS WILL RECEIVE
AN UPDATED CRCR FROM THE MARINE CORPS MOBILIZATION COMMAND (MOBCOM)
WITHIN 45 DAYS OF THEIR ANNIVERSARY DATE. PER REF O, CORRECTIONS
MUST BE ANNOTATED AND RETURNED WITH SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION (MUSTER
SHEETS, ORDERS, HISTORICAL NAVMC 798S, ETC.) TO MOBCOM. THE CRCRS
ARE DOWNLOADED FROM THE MARINE CORPS TOTAL FORCE SYSTEM (MCTFS) FIVE
WORKING DAYS BEFORE THE DATE THE BOARD CONVENES AND ARE SUBSEQUENTLY
PROVIDED TO THE BOARD ON THE CONVENING DATE OF THE BOARD. OFFICERS
WHO UPDATE THEIR CRCR AFTER THIS FIVE-DAY WINDOW ARE DIRECTED TO
SUBMIT THE UPDATED CRCR TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD AS UPDATE
MATERIAL BY MIDNIGHT (EASTERN TIME) ON THE DATE THE BOARD CONVENES.
B. RESERVE QUALIFICATION SUMMARY (RQS). PER REF O, RESERVE
OFFICERS, EXCEPT ACTIVE RESERVE, ELIGIBLE FOR CONSIDERATION FOR
PROMOTION ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A COMPLETE RQS (HQMC VERSION 1-02)
AS UPDATE MATERIAL TO THE BOARD BY MIDNIGHT (EASTERN TIME) ON THE
DATE THE BOARD CONVENES. THE PURPOSE OF THE RQS IS TO PROVIDE THE
BOARD INFORMATION NOT INCLUDED IN OTHER OFFICIAL RECORDS OR FITNESS
REPORTS. BLANK RQS FORMS ARE AVAILABLE AT MARINE ONLINE AND THE
OFFICER PROMOTION HOMEPAGE.
9. POST-BOARD INFORMATION AND GUIDANCE. OFFICERS MAY VIEW THE
APPROVAL PROGRESS OF THEIR BOARD AT THE OFFICER PROMOTION HOMEPAGE.
WHEN THE RESULTS OF A FIELD GRADE BOARD ARE AUTHORIZED TO BE
RELEASED, A "PERSONAL FOR" (P-4) E-MAIL WILL BE FORWARDED TO ALL
GENERAL OFFICERS AND CERTAIN MARINE CORPS COLONELS. THE P-4 AFFORDS
THE P-4 RECIPIENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENSURE EACH SELECT AND IN-ZONE
NONSELECT IS ADVISED OF THEIR PROMOTION STATUS. THE P-4 INCLUDES
WORK PHONE NUMBERS THAT ARE TAKEN DIRECTLY OUT OF MCTFS, THEREFORE,
IT IS REQUESTED THAT ELIGIBLE OFFICERS ENSURE THEIR WORK NUMBER IS
UPDATED IN MCTFS. APPROXIMATELY 48 HOURS AFTER A P-4 IS RELEASED,
SECNAV WILL RELEASE THE ALNAV ANNOUNCING THE NAMES OF THE OFFICERS
SELECTED BY THE BOARD. CAPTAIN AND CWO BOARD RESULTS WILL BE
ANNOUNCED BY ALNAV WHEN THE BOARD REPORTS ARE APPROVED. UPON
RELEASE OF THE ALNAV, THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS MAY OCCUR:
A. PROMOTION. OFFICERS SELECTED FOR PROMOTION CAN ONLY BE

ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDANCE IN REF P. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
REGARDING FROCKING CONTACT CMC (MMOA-3).
C. PROMOTION DELAY OF RESERVE OFFICERS WITHOUT A BACCALAUREATE

MARINE CORPS RESERVE UNLESS THAT PERSON HAS BEEN AWARDED A BA DEGREE
BY A QUALIFYING EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION. THIS REQUIREMENT IS

PROMOTIONS DELAYED AND APPROPRIATE STEPS WILL BE TAKEN TO HAVE THEIR
NAMES REMOVED FROM THE PROMOTION LIST. OFFICERS WHOSE NAMES ARE
REMOVED FROM THE PROMOTION LIST WILL BE CONSIDERED TO HAVE FAILED OF
SELECTION. THEREFORE, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT RESERVE OFFICERS COMPLY
WITH THE PHYSICAL EXAMINATION REQUIREMENT AND THAT THE PHYSICAL

COMPLY SHOULD CONTACT RESERVE AFFAIRS CMT OR CMC (MMPR-1).
10. THIS MARADMIN IS APPLICABLE TO ALL ACTIVE AND RESERVE COMPONENT
