For additional details regarding OBS, Sequenced Professional Military Education, and Commander requirements visit the Enlisted Promotions website at https://www.manpower.marines.mil/Divisions/ Manpower-Management/Performance-Branch/Promotion-Section/ Enlisted- Promotions/ click on "SNCOs" / "Monthly Promotion Requirements".
3. 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 (b).
