GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  Upon receipt of this MARADMIN, but not prior to
1 February 2026, Commanders will effect the promotion of selected
Marines per paragraph 5100 of reference (a).  Cite this MARADMIN as
authority for promotion.
2.  Marines who do not possess an Expiration of Active Service or
Reserve Expiration of Current Contract of 31 January 2028 or later
are not authorized to be promoted.  Marines who do not comply with
obligated service (OBS) requirements before their seniority number
being reached will receive a date of rank and effective date for the
1st of the following month after compliance with OBS.
2.a.  Projections are an estimate only.  Based off monthly promotion
MARADMINS, there may be instances requiring an additional extension
to be completed.
2.b.  For additional details regarding OBS, Sequenced Professional
Military Education, and Commander requirements, visit the Enlisted
Promotions website at https://www.manpower.marines.mil, click
on “Divisions” / “Manpower Management” / “Performance-Branch”
/ “Promotion-Section” / “Enlisted Promotions” / “SNCOs” / “Monthly
Promotion Requirements”.
3.  The numbers listed below indicate the senior number promoted the
previous month and the total number of Marines being promoted for
the current month per reference (b).  Numbers may not always add up
due to noncompetitive selections (Warrant Officer and Marine Corps
Enlisted Commissioning Education Program selects; assigned a
seniority number with an alpha letter), discharges, and promotion
restrictions.
