AFFECT THE PROMOTION OF SELECTED MARINES PER PAR 5100 OF THE REF. 
CITE THIS MARADMIN AS AUTHORITY FOR PROMOTION.
3. COMMANDERS ARE REMINDED THAT PAR 3103.6 OF THE REF REQUIRES

SERVED AT LEAST 18 YEARS BUT LESS THAN 30 YEARS OF ACTIVE MILITARY
SERVICE MUST AGREE TO SERVE 2 YEARS OR UNTIL SERVICE LIMITS,
WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST, IN THE GRADE TO WHICH PROMOTED. BEFORE

OBLIGATED SERVICE, INFORM CMC (MMPR-2) OF THE MARINE'S REFUSAL.
4. COMMANDERS ARE REMINDED OF THEIR INHERENT RESPONSIBILITIES IN
THE ENLISTED PROMOTION SYSTEM. THOROUGHLY REVIEW THE RECORD OF EACH
SELECTED MARINE PRIOR TO DELIVERY OF THE CERTIFICATE OF APPOINTMENT

PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL PERFORMANCE WHICH LED TO SELECTION. YOU
ARE ENJOINED TO REVIEW PAR 1200.4, 1204 AND 3107 OF THE REF. UPON
COMPLETION OF THE REVIEW OF APPLICABLE RECORDS, IF THE COMMANDER'S
INTENT IS TO DELAY OR REVOKE THE PROMOTION OF A SELECTED MARINE THE
REF PROVIDES SPECIFIC GUIDANCE AND REPORTING INSTRUCTIONS. 
5. THE NUMBERS LISTED IN PARAGRAPHS 6, 7 AND 8 INDICATE THE SENIOR
NUMBER PROMOTED THE PREVIOUS MONTH AND THE TOTAL NUMBER TO BE
PROMOTED FOR THE CURRENT MONTH. HOWEVER, THE NUMBERS MAY NOT ALWAYS
ADD UP. THIS IS DUE TO MARINES SELECTED NONCOMPETITIVELY (WO
SELECTS, ECP/MCP/RECP CANDIDATES) WHO ARE ASSIGNED A SENIORITY
NUMBER WITH AN ALPHA LETTER, MARINES WHO ARE DISCHARGED, AND MARINES
IN A PROMOTION RESTRICTION STATUS. TO AVOID ERRONEOUS PROMOTIONS OF
SNCOS IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT COMMANDERS FOLLOW THE GUIDANCE IN
PARAGRAPH 1 AND ONLY PROMOTE MARINES WITH A SELECT GRADE DATE IN THE
MCTFS.
