Non-Competitive Promotions |
Officers who are eligible for temporary promotion to the O-2 and O-3 grades, or medical officers eligible for temporary promotion to the O-4 grade, may be promoted after a non-competitive administrative review of their records. Promotion of Reserve Corps officers to permanent O-2 and O-3 are also considered non-competitive. Non-competitive promotions occur on a monthly basis and do not go before a promotion board as they are an administrative review of officers’ Official Personnel Folders (OPFs). A non-competitive promotion is received if the officer’s OPF maintains all necessary documentation. |
Promotion of Regular Corps officers to permanent O-2 and O-3 are competitive and are reviewed by an annual promotion board. |
A ‘cheat sheet’ to determine when you are eligible for both competitive and non-competitive promotions is currently available on the Commissioned Corps Management Information System (CCMIS) Web site under the link http://dcp.psc.gov/promotion_pages/promo_info_main.aspx titled ‘Promotion Eligibility Cheat Sheet. |

Effective date of a non-competitive promotion is the first day of the month. Deadline for submission of documents to the Office of Commissioned Corps Operations (OCCO) is midnight of the 15th of the month prior to the effective date. For example, if you are eligible for a non-competitive promotion on 1 May 2006, your documentation must be in OCCO by 15 April 2006. Please remember, if you are submitting medical documents to MAB on the 15th, the data will likely NOT reach OCCO in time for you to be promoted. MAB requires several days to review and enter data. |
Medical documentation cannot be faxed to MAB. It must be mailed to the address below: |
Office of Commissioned Corps Support Services Attn: Medical Affairs Branch 5600 Fishers Lane, Room 4C-04 Rockville, MD 20857-0001 |
