The command cutoff for 1 May 2024 promotions is 31 March 2024. Entries with a date after 31 March 2024 will not count towards a 1 May 2024 promotion score. Marines may notice a higher or lower score reflecting on the JEPES Marine Reported On Dashboard in Marine on Line however, this is not the score used for promotion. Late reporting of any data element which occurred prior to the command cutoff date, to include command input marks, will cause MCTFS to automatically recompute the JEPES score and effect the auto remedial promotion process.
