May Staff Noncommissioned Officer (SNCO) Promotions for Active Reserve (AR), Selected Marine Corps Reserve (SMCR), and Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) and June 2024 Planned SNCO Promotions for AR, SMCR, and IRR

1.  Upon receipt of this Marine Administrative Message (MARADMIN) and posting of the notification via Marine On Line (MOL), but not prior to 1 May 2024, Commanders will effect the promotion of selected Marines per paragraph 5100 of reference (a).  Cite this MARADMIN as authority for promotion.<br>
2.  Obligated Service (OBS)<br>
2.a.  This MARADMIN gives commanders the authority to locally extend Marines immediately, using the projected table in paragraphs 7-9, to ensure they possess the 24 months obligated service required from the date of their promotion.  Marines are not required to wait until their seniority number is reached each month to gain OBS.<br>
2.b.  Commanding Officers cannot extend those Marines withdraw case code (DCC) of AF, AH, AX, or AY.  Marines with those DCCs must submit their extension to MMEA (HQMC) via the Total Force Retention System (TFRS).<br>
2.c.  Marines who fall under the purview of the FY24/FY25 Enlisted Retention Campaign may submit for reenlistment via a streamlined submission process.<br>
2.d.  Marines should work with their Career Planner to gain OBS as soon as possible to avoid promotion delays.<br>
2.e.  Marines in medical status, to include limited duty or pending evaluation by a PEB, and meet all other requirements are eligible for promotion without an extension.<br>
2.f.  Marines selected for promotion in the active duty and departing to affiliate with the RC may retain their selection if OBS compliance is met via the Direct Affiliation Program.  Commands will inform MMPB-11 when a Marine has met OBS compliance with an approved RC affiliation contract.  This obligation may be met in the following components of the Ready Reserve:<br>
2.f.1.  Selected Marine Corps Reserve (SMCR).<br>
2.f.2.  Individual Mobilization Augmentees (IMA).<br>
2.f.3.  Active Reserve (AR).<br>
2.f.4.  Individual Ready Reserve (IRR).<br>
2.g.  Marines who do not comply with OBS requirements before their seniority number being reached will receive a date of rank and effective date for the 1st of the following month after compliance with OBS.<br>
2.h.  Commands must inform MMPB-11 if a Marine refuses to extend or reenlist to gain OBS.  MMPB-11 will remove the Marine's name from the appropriate selection list unless a Marine is doing a direct affiliation contract from active to reserves.<br>
2.i.  Refusal of OBS makes a Marine ineligible for all future promotion selection boards within the same component but not does not transfer between active to reserve components.<br>
3.  Commanders will review each Marines record prior to delivery of the certificate of appointment to ensure they continue to maintain the high standards of professional and personal performance which led to selection.  Reference (a) provides specific guidance and reporting instructions for Commander's intending to delay or revoke the promotion of a selected Marine.<br>
4.  Per references (c) and (d), Commanders will change a Marine's PMOS to the next career progression MOS when they are promoted above the grade ceiling for that PMOS and they complete the requisite MOS generating school.<br>
5.  Commanders who have Marines attached to their command/unit/det in a temporary additional duty status must seek concurrence from the Marine's parent command prior to effecting the promotion.<br>
6.  The numbers listed below indicate the senior number promoted the previous month and the total number of Marines being promoted for the current month per reference (e).  Numbers may not always add up due to noncompetitive selections (WO, MECEP selects; assigned a seniority number with an alpha letter), discharges, and promotion restrictions.<br>
