Promotion to SSGT and Above…
• Fitness reports: – Eligibility Requirements-HQMC decides what marines are eligible for promotion – Promotion Boards- 18 SNCO from different commands are selected and they go through each MOS and decide who gets promoted – Marines not Selected- If not selected the first time you have a 2 nd chance to be seen by a promotion board – Level of Playing Field- To try and promote all Marines at the same time of service but MOS needs are difficult each time which makes it tough for promotion
