on the changes to time in grade and time in service for promotion.
3. Commanders are reminded that all Professional Military Education
(PME) must be entered in MCTFS in a timely manner.
3.a. LCpls and Cpls who meet the cutting score, but are not PME
complete and have not been run as "NOT REC" will not be selected
due to their PME flag in MCTFS being "N".
3.b. PME incomplete Marines will not appear select grade. Commands

4.b. SEL SGT ED: 20240701
4.c. DATE OF RANK: 20240701

5.c. Prior to being promoted, all Marines must be PME complete IAW

6. The JEPES score used for promotion is computed in MCTFS using
the total of a Marines objective scores and their command input
marks prior to the command cutoff date (MCTFS cutoff) for each
promotion month. The command cutoff for 1 July 2024 promotions is
31 May 2024. Entries with a date after 31 May 2024 will not
count towards a 1 July 2024 promotion score. Marines may notice a
higher or lower score reflecting on the JEPES Marine Reported On
Dashboard in Marine on Line however; this is not the score used
for promotion. Late reporting of any data element which occurred
prior to the command cutoff date, to include command input marks,
will cause MCTFS to automatically recompute the JEPES score and
effect the auto remedial promotion process.

longer require a formal request via naval correspondence from the
commanding officer to initiate the remedial process unless they
fall within one of the following conditions:
7.a.1. Requests to correct entry level grades associated with a
contracted private first class.
7.a.2. Request for reservists who changed components after their
requested remedial promotion date.
7.a.3. Requests to correct a previous DOR for a Marine that has
already been promoted.
7.b. For all other junior enlisted remedial promotions MCTFS will
automatically screen all junior enlisted Marines who had late
training or PME entries to determine if their new JEPES score
meets or exceeds the cutoff from a previous month. Those that
meet the requirements and are otherwise eligible for promotion will
be automatically promoted in the system.
