4.  THE THREE MARINE CORPS RESERVE PARTICIPATION CATEGORIES CONSIDERED FOR PROMOTION PASSES INCLUDE AR, IRR AND SMCR/IMA.  PASSES FOR PROMOTION IN DIFFERENT OCCUPATIONAL FIELDS WITHIN THE SAME COMPETITIVE CATEGORY AND IN GRADE, COUNT TOWARDS A SECOND PASS FOR PROMOTION. EXAMPLES:
    A.  GYSGT PASSED OVER ONCE IN THE IRR JOINS THE SMCR.  WHILE IN THE SMCR, GYSGT IS PASSED OVER FOR PROMOTION.  THIS WOULD BE THE GYSGT'S FIRST PASS IN THE SMCR AND WILL CARRY A 1P FLAG.  UPON ATTAINING A SECOND PASS, GYSGT WILL BE REQUIRED TO TRANSFER TO THE IRR PER REFERENCE (A).
    B.  A MARINE THAT RECEIVES A 1P OR 2P WHILE A MEMBER OF THE IRR OR SMCR, AND IS APPROVED TO AFFILIATE WITH THE AR PROGRAM, WILL REFLECT NO PASSES IN THE AR.  CONSEQUENTLY, AN AR MARINE THAT RECEIVES 1P OR 2P WHILE IN THE AR PROGRAM AND TRANSFERS TO THE IRR OR SMCR, WILL REFLECT NO PASSES IN THE IRR OR SMCR.  THIS IS CONDITIONAL ON THE MARINE NOT HAVING A PREVIOUS PASS IN GRADE FROM THE IRR OR SMCR.

7.  THOSE MARINES IN PARAGRAPH 6 ABOVE WHO DO NOT MEET THE 50 POINT REQUIREMENT WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR PROMOTION BY THE SMCR SELECTION BOARD.  THEREFORE, THOSE MARINES WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED AS BEING PASSED OVER FOR PROMOTION.
8.  CHANGE PARAGRAPH 3200.2D(2) TO READ "BE AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN THE IRR AND HAVE EARNED AT LEAST 50 RESERVE RETIREMENT CREDIT POINTS IN THE ANNIVERSARY YEAR COMPLETED PRIOR TO THE CONVENING OF THE SELECTION BOARD."

GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. PER REF (A), COMPLETION OF THE LEADING MARINES MCI (MCI 0037) IS CURRENTLY THE REQUIREMENT FOR LANCE CORPORALS TO BE CONSIDERED PME COMPLETE.

THE LEADING MARINES DEP ON MARINENET WILL REPLACE THE LEADING MARINES MCI.

2. THE NEW LEADING MARINES IMI HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO MEET THE OPERATING FORCES EXPECTATIONS FOR THEIR MARINES PERFORMANCE IN CURRENT AND FUTURE OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENTS.  ADDITIONALLY, THE COURSE WILL DEVELOP AND ENHANCE OUR MARINES' ABILITIES TO THINK CRITICALLY AND MAKE SOUND, ETHICAL DECISIONS.  THE PROGRAM CONSISTS OF FOUR SUB-COURSES AVAILABLE AS A MARINENET CURRICULUM:

(2)    LEADERSHIP TOOLS (EPME3020AA)

(3)    COUNSELLING, COACHING, AND MENTORING (EPME3030AA)

3. COMPLETION OF THE NEW LEADING MARINES DEP WILL REQUIRE THE  FOLLOWING ACTIONS:

  A.  ENROLL IN THE LEADING MARINES CURRICULUM ON MARINET (WWW.MARINENET.USMC.MIL).  ENROLLMENT IN THE CURRICULUM WILL AUTOMATICALLY ENROLL THE MARINE IN THE FOUR SUB-COURSES.

  B.  COMPLETE EACH COURSE AND PREPARE FOR END OF COURSE EXAMS. THE STUDENT MAY TAKE THE COURSES IN ANY ORDER, BUT IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE STUDENT PROGRESS IN THE ORDER LISTED IN PARAGRAPH 2 ABOVE.

  C.  COMPLETE THE END OF COURSE EXAMS.  UPON COMPLETION OF EACH COURSE, A RANDOMIZED MULTIPLE CHOICE EXAM WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE STUDENT THROUGH MARINENET.  ALL END OF COURSE EXAMS WILL REQUIRE A PROCTOR.

  D.  SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF ALL FOUR COURSES WILL RESULT IN COMPLETION OF THE LEADING MARINES DISTANCE EDUCATION PROGRAM (EPME3000AA).  COURSE ENROLLMENT AND COMPLETION WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY DOCUMENTED IN THE MARINE'S BTR.

4.  PER REFS A AND B, LANCE CORPORALS MUST BE PME COMPLETE FOR GRADE BEFORE THEY CAN BE CONSIDERED FOR PROMOTION.  THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS IS PROVIDED:

  A.  THE NEW LEADING MARINES DEP WILL BE AVAILABLE ON MARINENET NLT 1 JANUARY 2011.  LANCE CORPORALS WHO  COMPLETE THE LEADING MARINES DEP ON MARINENET WILL BE CONSIDERED PME COMPLETE FOR GRADE.

6.  ONLY MARINES IN THE GRADE OF LANCE CORPORAL OR ABOVE MAY ENROLL IN THIS COURSE.  WAIVERS FOR ENROLLMENT WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED. THIS ACTION WILL ALLOW FOR A CONTINUOUS REVIEW OF COURSE CONTENT AND ENABLE CDET, THE ENLISTED PME BRANCH, AND LLI TO UPDATE COURSE CONTENT ON A MORE FREQUENT BASIS WHILE PROVIDING A SOLID LINK TO THE COMMAND SPONSORED CORPORALS COURSE.
