THE FOLLOWING IMOS(S) ARE CLOSED:  0393, 0411, 0451, 0811, 1391, 2659, 2691, 3044, 3432, 4133, 5512, 6694, 6842, 7212, 7236, 7314, AND 7372.<br>
4.  The Marines listed in paragraph 2 were selected from the Intended Military Occupational Specialty (IMOS) table listed in MARADMINS 451/18 and 510/18.  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 the CMC (MMPR-2), organizational mailbox at enlistedpromotions@usmc.mil.  Strict compliance with the provisions of paragraph 3602 of reference (b) 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, and requests to transfer to the Fleet Marine Corps Reserve.  Additionally, the commanding officer will promptly audit the electronic service record of the Marines on the select list, and will report within 10 days of receipt of the selection message to the CMC (MMPR-2) via message all instances where the Marine:<br>
6.a.1.  Was or is the subject of completed or pending disciplinary action by military or civilian authorities or other significant adverse action within the current grade (e.g., Non-Judicial Punishment (NJP), court-martial, civilian conviction, etc.).  This is required regardless of whether the action occurred prior to the convening of the board, during the board, subsequent to the publication of the selection list, or while the Marine was a member of a previous command.<br>
6.a.2.  Has been assigned to the Body Composition Program (BCP).<br>
6.a.3.  Has been designated "no further service" for any of the reasons listed in paragraphs 1204.4.ff and 1204.4.gg of reference (b).<br>
6.b. If an erroneous selection is found, forward a message to the 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 the CMC (MMPR-2).<br>
7.  Commanders will immediately notify the 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 the 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 reference (b) 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 Counseling and Evaluation Section (MMRP-50) to gain insight on improving their competitiveness and to receive an evaluation of their official military personnel file.  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 or 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, demographic data for the FY 2019 Sergeant Major and Master Gunnery Sergeant Selection Board 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.  Go to the Enlisted Promotion home page: www.manpower.usmc.mil, select "Active Marine," "Promotion Branch (MMPR)," then "Enlisted Promotions."  From there, to find this MARADMIN:  click on "Message Traffic," then "Staff Noncommissioned Officer (SNCO) Messages."<br>
11.  This MARADMIN is not applicable to the Marine Corps Reserve.<br>
12.  Release authorized by MajGen Craig C. Crenshaw, Director, Manpower Management Division.
