FY25 2nd Semi-Annual Special Duty Assignment Meritorious Promotion Allocations

1.  Purpose.  To announce the FY25 second semi-
annual meritorious promotion allocations for Special Duty 
Assignments (SDA).
2.  Commands listed below will convene selection boards to nominate 
Marines for meritorious promotion by the Commandant of the Marine 
Corps (CMC).  Marines already selected for the next grade by a 
regular promotion board are still eligible for meritorious promotion
to that grade if their seniority number has not been reached.  Upon 
review and approval, Enlisted Promotions Unit (MMPB-11), reports 
unit diary entries so commanders can prepare certificates of 
appointment.  Selected Marines must have at least 24 months 
obligated service remaining on contract from the date of promotion.
