Cpl's Course Administration questionsand answers 100% correct
Promotions - -•Proficiency and conduct marks are used in the computation
of composite scores of lance corporals and corporals. Regular promotion to
corporal and sergeant depends on a Marine's composite score.
•The promotion system up to the rank of sergeant is described in The
Promotion System lesson of this course.
•The reference is Marine Corps Order P1400.32D, Marine Corps Promotion
Manual, Volume 2, Enlisted Promotions, also known as the Promotion Manual.
-Reenlistments - -•All Marines applying for reenlistment must have a
minimum proficiency and conduct mark average of 4.0/4.0 during the current
enlistment contract and extensions to that contract.
•The reference is MCO 1040.31, Enlisted Retention and Career
Development Manual.
-Certain Duty Assignments - -As special duty and independent duty
assignments involve demanding duties or duties with an unusual degree of
responsibility, Marines must meet special requirements which include
minimum proficiency and conduct marks.
•Marine Recruiter Duty: Corporals applying for recruiting duty must have a
minimum 4.6/4.6 Proficiency/Conduct mark average.
•Marine Security Guard Duty: Marine security guard applicants must have a
minimum 4.2/4.2 Proficiency/Conduct mark average.
•Independent Duty: Marines going on independent duty must have a
minimum 4.4/4.4 Proficiency/Conduct mark average.
The reference is MCO P1326.6D, Selecting, Screening, and Preparing Enlisted
Marines for Special Duty Assignments and Independent Duties.
-Characterization and Discharge - -•Honorable characterization of service is
the highest quality characterization and is appropriate when the quality of
the Marine's service has met the standards of accepted conduct and
performance of duty for military personnel. Therefore, characterization will
be honorable for Marines with an average proficiency mark of 3.0 or higher
and average conduct mark of 4.0 or higher.
•This is important as a less than honorable characterization may reduce
employment opportunities and the benefits received from Veterans Affairs
after discharge.
•The reference is MCO 1900.16, Separation and Retirement Manual.
-Purpose of Pros and Cons - -•The purpose of proficiency (pro) and conduct
(con) marks is to indicate how proficiently individual Marines performed their
,primary duties, and how they conducted themselves during the rating
period.
-responsibility of NCO - -The responsibilities of staff noncommissioned
officers (SNCOs) and noncommissioned officers (NCOs) include training and
supervising Marines in the performance of their duties. This close
relationship gives NCOs the ability to record information on a Marine's
performance and to evaluate their performance during the reporting period.
NCOs' responsibilities include providing a fair and balanced recommendation
for pro and con marks to the commander.
-responsibility of CO - -The commanding officer establishes unit policies and
procedures for recommending and assigning proficiency and conduct marks.
Since the commanding officer cannot physically observe all corporals and
below on a daily basis, the commander will rely on SNCOs and NCOs to
evaluate the performance of their Marines and to submit recommended
proficiency and conduct marks. Although the commander should review and
consider the recommended marks, the commander has sole responsibility in
the assignment of marks for each Marine. The commanding officer is the
deciding authority and is responsible for maintaining an equitable proficiency
and conduct performance evaluation system for Marines in his/her charge.
-Pro and Cons Policy - -Marine Corps Order P1070.12K, Individual Records
Administration Manual, or IRAM, provides SNCOs, NCOs, and commanders
with the guidance necessary to recommend and assign proficiency and
conduct marks. The IRAM establishes guidelines to create consistency in the
evaluation process, measuring specific factors expected of all Marines.
Marks are required for corporals and below. The process for assigning
proficiency and conduct marks is founded in the belief that the commander
who assigns these marks and the SNCOs or NCOs who recommend them are
familiar with paragraph 4005 of the IRAM. Paragraph 4005 provides guidance
in three major areas:
•Occasions when proficiency and conduct marks are assigned
•Attributes to examine when doing a performance evaluation
•Rating scale to use when recommending or assigning marks
-occasions that require pro and con marks - -transfer - Both

semi annual ( 31 jan. and 31 jul) - Only active
annual - only reservists
completion of annual training - only reservists
recommended (mco p1400.32) - both
active duty special work - only reservists
-Evaluation Proficiency- What attributes or factors should be considered
when making an evaluation of a Marine's proficiency? - -The proficiency
mark should indicate how well a Marine performed their primary duties
during the marking period. In addition to technical skills and specialized
knowledge, relating to duty proficiency marks, the "whole Marine concept"
must be considered. The "whole Marine concept" necessitates that the
following attributes should also be evaluated and incorporated into the
proficiency mark: mission accomplishment, leadership, intellect and wisdom,
individual character, physical fitness, personal appearance, and completion
of professional military education, courses hosted on MarineNet, and off-duty
education.
•Note that per MARADMIN 209/15, Marine Corps Institute (MCI) courses were
transferred to the College of Distance Education and Training at Marine
Corps University and became courses hosted on MarineNet.
-ATTRIBUTES OF PROFICIENCY - -Mission Accomplishment
Mission accomplishment addresses both the ends (results) and the means
(how the Marine achieved those results). Therefore, this attribute can be
broken down into: performance and proficiency.
•Performance is measured by how successful the Marine was in producing
results in the assigned billet, as well as any additional duties formally or
informally assigned during the reporting period.
•Proficiency is measured by how well the Marine demonstrated technical
knowledge and practical skill in the execution of those duties.
Intellect and Wisdom
The Marine possesses an effective knowledge-base which allows for good
judgment and decision-making ability. This attribute can be broken down
into: judgment and decision-making.
•Judgment is the discretionary aspect of decision-making. Judgment draws
on core values, knowledge, and personal experience to make wise choices.
•Making sound decisions leads to mission accomplishment. You should
actively collect and evaluate information and weigh alternatives to make the
best decision.
