If anyone wants to read a more in-depth description of the promotion system, click here to read the Marine Corps Promotion Manual. Marines who have served 6 months active duty as a Private are eligible for promotion to Private First Class PFC , as long as their service is deemed satisfactory by the Commander.
Time spent in boot camp does count towards the required 6 months. The same requirement exists for reservists as well. Marines who have served 8 months active duty as a PFC and 9 months time in service TIS are eligible for promotion to Lance Corporal LCpl , again as long as their service is deemed satisfactory by the Commander.
As a reservist, the same requirements apply. A Commander can meritoriously promote a Marine to PFC if they believe they have shown outstanding leadership and performance. This applies to Reserve commands as well. A similar procedure occurs for meritorious promotion to LCpl. However, a command may hold a meritorious promotion board for LCpl each quarter; which will occur in December, March, June, and September.
