Additionally, there are numerous special training schools, advanced educational opportunities, and Specialty Duty Assignments available to Marines who prove they are up to the task. For enlisted Marines, promotion beyond the rank of lance corporal is primarily based upon time in service, time in grade rank and level of performance.
Enlisted promotions are competitive and are based on specific vacancies that occur within MOSs. Each year, Congress states, by law, what percentage of Marines can serve in each grade above Corporal.
The Marine Corps takes the number of available openings it has for each enlisted rank and then assigns them to different MOSs. Because there are a finite number of positions within each MOS, promotion to the ranks of Corporal and above require an intense devotion to the duties of that MOS.
