MARADMIN 150/16 - Quarterly Page 11 Counselings for Not Recommended for Promotion to Corporal and Sergeant

Scope

MARADMIN 150/16 sets the quarterly Page 11 counseling requirement for Marines NOT RECOMMENDED for promotion to Corporal and Sergeant. The counseling recurs each quarter while the Marine holds the NOT RECOMMENDED status, and the cadence tracks with the promotion cycle now managed under the Junior Enlisted Performance Evaluation System (JEPES). Applicability is the Active Component.

Status

Signed 2016-03-15. Originator CMC Washington DC MRA MM. Active. Applicability is the Active Component. Verification caution. The message predates JEPES by five years, and the portal's MCAAT checklist pairs it with JEPES-era messages 153/21 and 559/23. Verify the quarterly cadence against MCO P1400.32D w/CH2 before applying the 2016 language on its own.
