New Orleans --
Marine
administrative message 174/16 announces the eligibility requirements for promotion
to corporal and sergeant for Individual Ready Reserve, Active Reserve and
Drilling Reserve Marines. Marines eligible for promotion must have their Professional
Military Education complete by the 15th of the month prior to their promotion.
The term “eligible” refers to Marines who meet the time in grade and time in
service requirements and have a composite score computed.
Lance corporals and
corporals who meet the cutting score, but are not PME complete will not be
selected for promotion. The commands of these Marines will receive an advisory
stating “not selected, required PME not complete.”
The purpose of this
change is for Marines who have already completed their PME to receive the
promotion they deserve.

information about the eligibility requirements, see the MARADMIN.
