Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24) Intended Military Occupational Specialty Promotions for Active Reserve Promotion to Sergeant

1.  This MARADMIN announces the FY24 Intended Military Occupational Specialty (IMOS) promotions for Active Reserve promotion to sergeant and is being published to allow for retroactive promotion eligibility backdated to 1 October 2023.  Based on the current needs of the Marine Corps, there will be no IMOS promotions to corporal for Active Reserve lance corporals for FY24.  Per reference (b), Marines who make a lateral move are no longer eligible for promotion in their former primary Military Occupational Specialty (PMOS).  Per reference (a), Marines entering into a sergeant entry- level IMOS will be considered for promotion non-competitively as follows:<br>
    a.  Effective 1 October 2023, the following MOS is considered non-competitive sergeant entry-level MOS eligible for promotion: 4821 (Career Planner)<br>
    b.  Corporals reenlisting into a sergeant entry-level MOS, as designated above, who have not yet attained the prerequisite grade may be promoted non-competitively to that grade.  Promotion in the IMOS is subject to reenlistment, and Time in Grade/Time in Service (TIG/TIS) eligibility per references (a) and (b).<br>
    c.  In order to effect promotions for eligible Marines, commands must submit a signed letter requesting promotion to enlistedpromotions@usmc.mil.  Prior to submission of the request, commands must ensure the Marine's reenlistment and IMOS have posted to the Marine Corps Total Force System (MCTFS) and that the Marine has completed the required Professional Military Education (PME). Once approved, MMPB-11 will report the promotion to sergeant.  The Date of Rank (DOR) and effective date will be the first of the month after reenlistment if all the requirements are met at the time of reenlistment.  Otherwise, the DOR will be the first of the month after all requirements are met.<br>
    d.  Marines who are promoted under their IMOS and later fail to complete the qualifications for that MOS will be administratively reduced.  Paragraph 6002.1 of reference (a) applies.<br>
2.  Compliance with reference (a) is required prior to delivery of the promotion warrant.  Commanders must ensure that a Marine is not promoted unless the individual can be expected to assume the responsibilities and perform the duties of that grade in a creditable and satisfactory manner.<br>
3.  This MARADMIN is only applicable to Marines serving in the Active Reserve Program.<br>
