2. Promotion Boards. The board will consider CWOs on the active
-duty list (ADL) for promotion to the grades of CWO5, CWO4, and
CWO3. ADL CWOs compete for promotion as vacancies become available
in their competitive category military occupational specialty
(MOS) at the next higher grade. The boards will consider by MOS
and grade only as specified by the yearly promotion plan, three
categories of officers: above-zone (AZ), in-zone (IZ), and below
-zone (BZ). Officers defined as ADL in reference (b) are eligible
for the board. However, officers with an established separation
date that is within 90 days after the date the board convenes, or
an approved retirement date will not be considered by the board.
Officers whose lineal control number (LCN) precedes the senior
officer IZ are defined as AZ. Those AZ 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 IZ. Officers may review reference (b) and their eligibility for
the board on the internet at the officer promotion homepage. The

2.f. No CWO3 selection boards will be convened for the following
MOSs: 0160, 2125, 5805, 5970, 7216 and 7380.
3. Personal Responsibilities. Each officer is personally
responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of their
OMPF and MBS before the date the board convenes. Refer to reference
(a) for information on obtaining and reviewing your OMPF and fitness
report submission guidelines and timelines.
4. Body Composition. Reference (f) modifies the Height and Weight
requirement to a Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR) requirement. At
present, there is no method for the Digital Boardroom to pull
current WHtR information. Previous Height and Weight measurements
contained within an officer's record will be considered, as well as
any fitness reports that were processed with a WHtR directed
comment. Officers who desire to have their current WHtR made
available to the board may (optional) elect to submit WHtR
documentation signed by their Command Physical Training
Representative as an enclosure to their letter to the board pursuant
to the instructions outlined in reference (a). The WHtR is required
for all Marines to be completed prior to 30 June 2026.
5. Officer Correspondence. All eligible officers may, if
desired, submit correspondence to the President of the Board.
Refer to paragraph 8 of reference (a) on correspondence submission
requirements, due dates and forwarding options.
6. Continuation Boards. Upon conclusion of the promotion selection
boards, the boards will reconvene as continuation boards. Officers
may verify their eligibility for consideration for continuation by
contacting Commandant Marine Corps (CMC) Manpower Management
Separations and Retirement (MMSR). CMC (MMSR) will adjust mandatory
retirement dates and/or notify the officers selected for
continuation, as applicable, after the promotion selection results
have been announced. The following continuation boards will be
convened:
6.a. FY28 USMC CWO5, CWO4, and CWO3 (select) Continuation Boards.
The boards may select for continuation those CWOs selected by the
promotion selection board who would otherwise be subject to
involuntary retirement due to total years active service until the
officers have time to complete 2 years in the grade of
CWO3 and CWO4, and 3 years in the grade of CWO5.
6.b. FY28 USMC CWO4, CWO3, and CWO2 Continuation Boards. The
boards may select for continuation those CWOs who have twice failed
of selection to the next higher grade and who, on the day prescribed
for removal from active duty, possess less than 18 years of active
service. The officers selected for continuation will be continued
on active duty until retirement eligible IAW reference (c).
