Good news for Marine junior officers – the Corps has announced they will be doing away with one of everyone’s least favorite institutions, the promotion board, for aspiring O-3s. Although temporary for 2025-2026, this will most likely become permanent.<\/p>\n

“The change to an AFQOL allows the Marine Corps to continue selecting fully qualified officers for the rank of captain while simultaneously increasing the number of possible selects and reducing the administrative and financial resources historically allocated for boards,” Capt. Sarah Eason, a spokesperson for Marine Corps Manpower and Reserve Affairs, told Military.com via email on Dec. 20.<\/p>\n

Funds that the Marine Corps is hoping to save on include travel budgets for selection boards and time that is typically allotted for administrative processes. Eason emphasized that the change was not made in response to any increased or decreased changes in officer retention as the Marine Corps, as a whole, looks to retain more Marines.\u00a0 Marine Times<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Prior to being named president, Gay earned $879,079 as a Faculty of Arts and Sciences Dean in 2021 and $824,068 in 2020, according to the Ivy League school’s newspaper, the Harvard Crimson.\u00a0 Fox News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I am sure since her predecessor earned $1.3 million annually, she probably feels oppressed and racially or socially mistreated. Too, her predecessor didn’t step on his schwanz in front of Congress and plaigerize for decades, to the best of my knowledge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
