Officers defined as Reserve Active Status-List (RASL) in reference (b) are eligible for the boards if, on the convening date of their respective board or process, the officers have continuously performed service on either the RASL or the Active-Duty List (or a combination of both lists) for a period of one year. However, officers whose established date for removal from the RASL is within 90 days after the date the board is convened will not be considered by the board. Officers whose established release date from active duty in the Active Reserve (AR) Program, but not the RASL, is within 90 days after the date the board convenes will not be considered by the board. These officers will be considered by their respective Unrestricted Reserve Promotion Selection Boards. Officers whose Lineal Control Number (LCN) precedes the senior officer in-zone are defined as above-zone. Those above-zone officers who have not been previously considered are defined as "above-zone, not previously considered". Officers in this status are considered by the board to be in-zone.

Section 14308 of Title 10, U.S. Code, allows the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) to authorize promotion boards to reorder their recommended promotion list based on particular merit. Officers on the Unrestricted Colonel, AR Colonel, Unrestricted Lieutenant Colonel, AR Lieutenant Colonel, and Unrestricted Major promotion lists may be placed higher on the promotion list only if the officer receives the recommendation of at least a majority of the members of the board, unless the SECNAV establishes an alternative requirement. For officers recommended to be placed higher on a promotion list, the board shall recommend the order in which those officers should be placed on the list. 4. USMCR AR Major Continuation and Retention Board. Upon conclusion of the AR Lieutenant Colonel Promotion Selection Board, the board will reconvene as continuation and retention boards as specified below. Officers may verify their eligibility for consideration by contacting Commandant Marine Corps (CMC), Manpower Management Separations and Retirement (MMSR). Officers in sanctuary (18 years of active service) will not be screened for continuation or retention and will have an EAS set to their active-duty retirement eligibility date. 4.a. Continuation Boards. Those officers whom a majority of the members of the board consider best and fully qualified for continuation to meet the needs of the Marine Corps may be continued on the Reserve Active Status List (RASL). The period of continuation will be until the officer completes 24 or 20 years of commissioned service (grade dependent), is eligible for a reserve retirement, or until the age of 62, whichever condition occurs first. Those officers whom a majority of the members of each board do not consider fully qualified for continuation will be separated from the Marine Corps no later than the first day of the seventh month after the release of the ALNAV announcing the promotion selection board results that considered the officer for the second time. 4.b. Retention Boards. If continued via the Continuation Board, officers will then be boarded for retention in the AR program. Those officers whom a majority of the members of each board consider best and fully qualified for retention to meet the needs of the Marine Corps may be retained in the AR program. The period of retention will be 12 months, at which point the officer will screen for promotion and retention on the following years boards. Those officers whom a majority of the members of each board do not consider best and fully qualified for retention to meet the needs of the Marine Corps will be released from the AR program to the Individual Ready Reserve on the first day of the seventh month after the release of the ALNAV announcing the promotion selection board results that considered the officer for the second time. 4.c. FY27 USMCR AR Major Retention and Continuation Board. The board will consider AR majors who, have twice failed selection for promotion to lieutenant colonel for continuation on the RASL and for retention in the AR program. 5. Board Preparation Guidance.

Officers may review reference (a) at the officer promotion homepage. 6. Board Correspondence Portal. Officers must have a valid USMC email to access the board correspondence Portal.
