Promotion Requirements
"Strengthening the lives of America's youth."
These are the exact requirements for the promotions to the different ranks.  If you think you rate a promotion, bring it up the chain of command to the Training Officer.
NOTE:
Rank      Min. Age     TIR     TIP       Other Qual.
Before a promotion to any rank the Young Marine must complete either the written or oral examination.  If passed the YM must then bring in a home and school evaluation.  These are to be turned in by the beginning of the last Wednesday of a month.  There will then be a promotion board for the final decision.  Promotions will only be awarded on the first Wednesday of a month, if you do not have the proper forms completed in time you must wait until the next month to recieve your promotion.
