3. Marines who are selected to the ranks of SSgt through
SgtMaj/MGySgt, to include meritorious promotions, must have at least
24-months of obligated service (OBS) remaining on contract beginning
on the date of their promotion. If the Marine refuses to extend or
reenlist to have sufficient obligated service, inform CMC (MMPB-11)
of the Marine's refusal.
3.a. Marines who do not comply with OBS requirements prior to 2
January 2026 are not authorized to be promoted and will not have
their promotion effected in the Marine Corps Total Forces System
(MCTFS) until they comply.
3.b. Commanders are authorized to locally extend Marines who are
identified as not being in compliance with OBS requirements. Unit
Career Planners or other unit representatives completing the NAVMC
321A must cite this MARADMIN as the authority. Only the Commanding
Officer or those serving in an acting capacity may sign the NAVMC
321A as the Administering Officer. Commanding Officers are not
authorized to extend those Marines with a draw case code (DCC) of
AF, AH, AX, or AY. Marines with those DCCs must submit their
extension for promotion to MMEA (HQMC) via the Total Force Retention
System for appropriate action. Marines on limited duty or pending
evaluation by a PEB may not be extended using this authority.
4. In accordance with the provisions of reference (a), authority is
granted to meritoriously promote the Marines listed above with a
date of rank and effective date of 2 January 2026.
5. Congratulations to these Marines for exemplary performance and
well-deserved meritorious promotion.
6. Release authorized by BGen Fridrik Fridriksson, Director,
Manpower Management Division.//
