Why ECFC exist • We have the right Marines in the right billets • Each Marine has the Necessary experience to get the job done • Each Marine has a reasonable chance to be promoted based on their own performance
ETHOS (Expeditionary Force) • Maintain mental and physical demands • Affects the way we train, recruit, equip, and provide for our Marines
Ethos Sustainment • Maintain competitive spirit • WIN our nations Battles
Types of Controls • Reenlistment • Service Limitations
Reenlistment • Not Recommended for Reenlistment-out of around 27,000 Marines only 6,000 enter the career force program- is when a Marine enters their 2nd contract they are considered to be in the career force program • Boat Spaces-there are only around 4,500 boat spaces set aside per year. They are controlled by the first term alignment program (FTAP).
Service Limitations • You don’t have to worry about boat spaces any longer. • Continuation in the service depends on their timely promotion to the next higher rank. • Limits of Service • Cpl 8 • Sgt 13 • SSgt 20 • GySgt 22 • 1stSgt/MSgt 27 • MGySgt/SgtMaj 30 • Age 55
Promotions • Meritorious Promotions • PFC & LCPL • Compete against USMC standards ONLY • Cpl & Sgt • Against peers via Composite (cutting) score • Undisputed facts…
Meritorious Promotion • Can be promoted up to the rank of GySgt • Commandant decides how many Marines can be promoted meritoriously for each rank • Commandant also divides up the promotions to each command.
Cutting Score • Selected for LCpl’s and Cpl’s for their MOS cutting score • If the composite score is greater or equal to the cutting score for your MOS and you are eligible then you will be selected for promotion • HQMC determines how many openings there are anticipated in each MOS for CPL and Sgt for the upcoming three month quota
What can affect Cutting Scores? • The number of Marines in an MOS who choose to get out or are forced out • The number of Marines in an MOS who are promoted out of the rank of either CPL or SGT • Marine Corps plans to increase or cut back the size of a particular MOS.

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 2nd 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
