Officer Promotions for November 2021 and Projected Officer Promotions for December 2021
This MARADMIN announces officer promotions effective November 1, 2021, for regular and reserve Marine Corps officers across multiple grades (Colonel through Captain), as well as limited duty officers and warrant officers. It also provides projected promotion information for December 2021 from both FY21 and FY22 promotion boards, subject to change based on vacancy determination and Senate confirmation.
Issued: October 21, 2021
1. AUTHORITY. Refs (a) through (i) regulate all Marine Corps officer promotions. This MARADMIN is the authority for commanding officers to effect promotions. Per the refs, an officer's promotion may not be effected until that officer's name appears on a promotion MARADMIN or CMC message. Appropriate commissions will be mailed to parent commands under separate cover. Expect 2-3 weeks for delivery. The commission is not the legal authority to promote and is not required to effect the promotion. For the purposes of conducting a promotion ceremony, sample commissions and the oath of office can be found in chapter 6 of ref (b) or the Officer Promotion Branch's homepage at www.Marines.mil. Under "Marines/Career," click on "Promotions." Click on "Officer Promotions," look under the "Reference" tab on the right side of the page.<br>
2. All officers promoted to the grade of colonel must follow the requirements directed by MCO 5750.1H, page 2-5, for submissions of personal information to the Director of Marine Corps History (HRD). See paragraph 12 for mailing address and POC information.<br>
3. Under the provisions of section 624 of ref (a) and ref (c), the Secretary of the Navy, acting for the President of the United States, hereby authorizes the promotion of the following named regular officers to the grade indicated. Rank, pay and allowances are effective from 1 November 2021.<br>

6. Delay of Promotion. Per refs (b) and (h), if the respective commanding officer determines that an officer is not mentally, physically, morally, or professionally qualified for promotion, the promotion shall not be effected. This includes the physical examination requirement for reserve officers per section 10206 of ref (a). The officer shall be given written notice of the grounds for delay before the effective date of the appointment, unless it is impracticable to do so, in which case the notice shall be given as soon as practicable. CMC (MMPR-1) must also be notified prior to the effective date of the appointment so that the promotion will not be effected in Marine Corps Total Force System (MCTFS) and administrative action can be initiated. Refs (a), (b), (c), and (e) contain guidelines for the timely submission of supporting documentation.<br>
7. Retirement and Transfer. Officers considering voluntary retirement should review ref (d) for service obligation prior to acceptance of promotion. An officer's selection for promotion carries over into the reserve, between AR and SMCR-IRR, and with augmentation into the regular component.<br>
8. Accepting and Declining Promotion. Any regular or reserve officer who is promoted under the refs is considered to have accepted such promotion on the effective date contained in paragraphs 3 through 5 (for purposes of date of rank, pay, and allowances in the grade to which promoted). To decline a promotion, an officer is required to submit a letter of declination to CMC (MMPR-1) expressly at the time their command notifies them of their promotion and directs that they begin wearing the insignia of the next higher grade. Any statement or action by the officer which signals their acceptance of the promotion, forever waives their right to decline.<br>
9. The following FY21 promotions are projected for December 2021 and are subject to change. Promotions from the remaining FY21 boards will be promulgated based on vacancy determination.<br>
