How to Get Promoted Quickly in the Marine Corps | JEPES explained

[@dr.thriller246]

They changed the promotion criteria since I’ve been out. Good stuff

[@simeon_kurosky]

JEPES is a lot more in the marines control of whether she or he wants to get promoted. Pretty much no excuse to not get promoted once they’re immediately eligible unless the score is closed out

Great video. Thanks for helping your fellow Marines!

@@simeon_kurosky I just wish I had someone like you around back when I was dealing with these issues.

Currently trying my best to pick up CPL. Our score as a 3051 is 571 and I have a 525 and PME complete. It’s mainly my command input. Have a 2.5, 2.8 and 2.6. There’s nothing I can do atm. So frustrating.

[@wolfpackarmoury7375]

In the same exact boat you're in, except getting promoted to corporal as an 0311 is damn near impossible, the cutting score as of January 2024 is 644. Which makes it extremely difficult for most Lance Corporals to get promoted, especially in foot mobile combat units with shitty commands. You can know your mos like the back of your hand, be pme complete, have good average in grade remarks, be maxed out on your mcmap, 49/3 on the rifle range, 300 pft / cft, and never get in trouble or NJPed for anything... But sadly none of that matters if just one person in your higher up chain of command doesn't like you for any reason, and they can fuck you over time and time again on every chance at getting promoted. Seen in happen to a few good marines in my unit.

Sergeant, I have made my Cutting Score for my MOS and I'm hopefully getting CPL by May 1st. Question, If I've met all my PME, I'm Recommended, and have my Cutting Score am I guaranteed to promote to CPL or do I need to keep raising my JEPES score to maintain competitiveness against other LCPLs in my MOS?

[@simeon_kurosky]

If you already met the score that has been released, I wouldn’t do any more MCIs or anything extra until after promotion of Corporal. You will have to do your 40 CEUs for MCI as a Corporal aswell to pick up Sgt. So I’d wait if you are already selected. If you’re PME complete, recommended on MOL, and have the required score you should be getting promoted on the first of May. Congrats. 🎉

Can you do a video on aviation ordinance?

[@simeon_kurosky]

Yes, I can. I’ll do a brief explanation of what I do for a future video topic

Muffins. Stud Muffins

[@simeon_kurosky]

Oh yeah gotta love muffins

[@DTaze]

which marine net classes actually count towards promotion?

[@jimsheehan8083]

You are looking for courses that offer "CEUs". On the Self Paced Courses tab, there is a button titled "Continuing Education Units/Reserve Points" and that will open a page that lists courses where CEU or Reserve Credits is not equal to 0. Start with The Vietnam War- Vol 1, Episode 1-10.

I so like the idea that, in the Marine Corps, it's a guarantee that you can better yourself, if you're truly dedicated--and if you work your butt off. Sort of like the idea that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
