THE FOLLOWING IMOS(S) ARE CLOSED:  0161, 1371, 2651, 2823, 2874, 3044, 4821, 5512, 5821, 5831, 6042, 6276, 7011, 7051, 7314 AND 7372.<br>
4.  The Marines listed in paragraph 2 were selected from the Intended Military Occupational Specialty (IMOS) table listed in MARADMINS 431/16, and 486/16.  Where the feeder MOS for a selectee does not provide skill progression to the IMOS, this MARADMIN does not constitute authority to change the Marines Primary MOS.<br>
5.  Requests for remedial promotion consideration must be submitted to CMC (MMPR-2).  Strict compliance with the provisions of paragraph 3602 of the reference is directed.<br>
6.  Commanders are to review this MARADMIN for erroneous selections, e.g., incorrect date of rank, incorrect MOS, incorrect zone of consideration, requests to transfer to the Fleet Marine Corps Reserve (FMCR), or pending/completed disciplinary action in the current grade by military or civilian authorities not previously reported.  If an erroneous selection is found, forward a message to CMC (MMPR-2) within 10 days of receipt of this MARADMIN detailing the circumstances.  If erroneous selections are subsequently discovered through research by staff agencies at HQMC, corrective action will be taken by CMC (MMPR-2).<br>
7.  Commanders will immediately notify CMC (MMPR-2) of the intent to withhold or revoke the selection of any Marine whose name is listed in this MARADMIN.  A full written justification for the recommendation to withhold or revoke the Marines promotion must be forwarded via the chain of command to arrive at CMC (MMPR-2) no later than 30 days after receipt of this MARADMIN.  Ensure the Marine concerned is afforded the opportunity to review the commands recommendation and submit a statement.  Paragraph 5200.3b of the reference provides specific language that must be contained in the opening paragraph of the Marines statement.<br>
8.  Marines who were considered and not selected may contact the Enlisted Career Counselor and Performance Evaluation Unit (MMRP-50) to gain insight on improving their competitiveness and receive an evaluation of their Official Military Personnel File (OMPF).  However, Marines should note that due to the confidentiality of the selection board process, the specific reason for not being selected cannot be provided.  For more information and career counseling, call DSN:  278-9241, commercial (703) 784-9241 or 1-800-833-2320.<br>
9.  In the continuing effort to demystify the selection board process and clear up any misperceptions as to who is actually being selected for promotion, FY 2017 Sergeant Major and Master Gunnery Sergeant Selection Board demographic data will post to the Promotion Branch web site within 3 days from the date of this MARADMIN.<br>
10.  This MARADMIN will be posted to the Promotion Branch web site.  Www.manpower.usmc.mil, select "Active Marine", "Manpower Management (MM)", "Promotion Branch (MMPR)", then "Enlisted Promotions".  From there click on "Message Traffic", then "Staff Noncommissioned Officer (SNCO) Messages".<br>
11.  This MARADMIN is not applicable to the Marine Corps Reserve.<br>
12.  This MARADMIN is cancelled 31 October 2017.<br>
13.  Release authorized by MajGen Craig Q. Timberlake, Director, Manpower Management Division.
