Change 1 to the FY18 Gunnery Sergeant Selection Board

This MARADMIN announces changes to the FY18 Gunnery Sergeant Selection Board, including updated feeder Military Occupational Specialties (MOS), allocations, and zone cutoffs. The changes add MOS 0639 as a feeder to itself at the gunnery sergeant level and provide detailed promotion zone information for all eligible Intended MOS (IMOS) categories. Marines are reminded to ensure their Professional Military Education (PME) completion is documented in their Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) as those missing required PME will be briefed as "not fully qualified" for selection.

Issued: March 13, 2018

4.  Professional Military Education (PME).  The selection guidance (precepts) for Marines includes a reminder of the requirement for PME.  Marines are advised to ensure that course completion information is included in their Official Military Personnel File (OMPF).  Additionally, Marines are encouraged to review their Master Brief Sheet (MBS) to ensure their PME completion is reflected.  The MBS is only a tool to summarize a Marines record.  It is not an official part of a Marines record, therefore it is not considered official source documentation.  As a reminder, Marines "eligible for selection" missing evidence of required PME will be briefed as "not fully qualified" for selection.<br>
