1.  This MarAdmin provides information and guidance for the FY18 U.S. Marine Corps Officer Promotion selection boards post-board notification.  Officers may view the approval progress of their board from the officer promotion homepage.  When the results of a field grade board are authorized to be released, a "personal for" (P-4) email will be forwarded to all Marine Corps general officers and certain colonels.  The P-4 affords the P-4 recipients an opportunity to ensure each select and in-zone non select are advised of their promotion status.  The P-4 includes work phone numbers that are obtained from MCTFS.  All officers are required to ensure their contact data is correct in MOL and MCTFS and to verify the accuracy of their MCC, unit, billet, phone and email information.  Accurate, current contact information will facilitate more efficient notification.  Approximately 5 working days after a P-4 is released, SECNAV will release the ALNAV announcing the names of the officers selected by the board.  Captains and chief warrant officers are notified of their board results via ALNAV when the board reports are approved by SECDEF.
