November 2006 Promotions for Staff Noncommissioned Officers (SNCO) and December 2006 Planned Promotions for SNCOs

1. AS OF SOFTWARE RELEASE 2-01 NAMES ARE NO LONGER
LISTED ON THE MARADMIN. THE SELECT GRADE RANK, SENIORITY 
NUMBER AND BOARD YEAR WILL BE LISTED ON THE "GRAD" SCREEN 
IN THE MCTFS. UNITS WILL RECEIVE A DIARY FEEDBACK REPORT 
(DFR) WITH A SELECT GRADE DATE OF 1 NOVEMBER 2006 FOR EACH
MARINE TO BE PROMOTED.
2. UPON RECEIPT OF THIS MARADMIN AND POSTING OF A SELECT
GRADE ON THE DFR, BUT NOT PRIOR TO THE 1ST OF NOVEMBER
2006, COMMANDERS WILL EFFECT THE PROMOTION OF SELECTED 
MARINES PER PAR 5100 OF THE REF. CITE THIS MARADMIN AS
AUTHORITY FOR PROMOTION.
3. COMMANDERS ARE REMINDED THAT PAR 3107.4 OF THE REF
REQUIRES THAT MARINES IN THE GRADE OF GUNNERY SERGEANT AND
ABOVE WHO HAVE 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 DELIVERING APPOINTMENT
CERTIFICATES TO MARINES IN THIS CATEGORY, COMMANDERS MUST
ENSURE EACH MARINE HAS SUFFICIENT OBLIGATED SERVICE
REMAINING ON THEIR CURRENT CONTRACT TO ENABLE THEM TO SERVE
AT LEAST 2 YEARS OR UNTIL SERVICE LIMITS IN THE GRADE TO
WHICH PROMOTED. IF THE MARINE REFUSES TO EXTEND OR
REENLIST TO HAVE SUFFICIENT 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 TO ENSURE THE
MARINE HAS CONTINUED TO MAINTAIN THE HIGH STANDARDS OF
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. COMMANDERS WHO HAVE MARINES ATTACHED TO THEIR
COMMAND/UNIT/DET IN TEMPORARY ADDITIONAL DUTY STATUS MUST
SEEK CONCURRENCE FROM THE MARINE'S PARENT COMMAND PRIOR TO
EFFECTING THE PROMOTION.
6. THE NUMBERS LISTED BELOW INDICATE THE SENIOR NUMBER
PROMOTED THE PREVIOUS MONTH AND THE TOTAL NUMBER OF MARINES
TO BE PROMOTED FOR THE CURRENT MONTH. HOWEVER, THE NUMBERS
MAY NOT ALWAYS ADD UP. THIS IS DUE TO MARINES SELECTED 
NONCOMPETITIVELY (WO, MECEP SELECTS) 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.
