Who we are

To support the future of the Marine Corps by assisting enlisted active-duty career Marines in improving their competitiveness for promotion and their performance for retention through performance evaluation and career counseling.

We also conduct site visits. There are 5 enlisted counselors to serve the entire force. Submit your request for a career counseling well in advance, as there may be upwards of a three month wait depending on the season.

To make the most of your counseling experience, please note the following:

     1. Before speaking with a counselor, please review your OMPF.   

     2. If you have an appointment, please be available at your scheduled time.   

     3. If you cannot keep your appointment, please contact us to reschedule!

The Enlisted Career Counseling section has built a list of commonly asked questions (known as the selection board debrief questionnaire) and provides this questionnaire to all 21 members of the SNCO promotion board (via MMPR – the Promotions Branch) prior to the board beginning the selection process. This questionnaire is beneficial for us to be able to find out factual information regarding the Promotion process and competitiveness for Marines, in regards to what trends (positive & negative) the board members saw throughout all records reviewed, as well as other pertinent information that they want passed to Marines around the Corps. We then compile this information into a single document to release to the NCO, SNCO and Officer communities to show Marines what they need to focus on in making themselves as competitive as possible. This document is a compilation of the boards most common answers added in with the Career Counselors perspectives from daily interaction with the NCO/SNCO communities and regular interaction with board members throughout all board debriefs conducted, yearly (not just one specific board).
