MARADMIN 640/10 explains the Leading Marines MCI Here is an excerpt
A. THE NEW LEADING MARINES DEP WILL BE AVAILABLE ON MARINENET NLT 1 JANUARY 2011. LANCE CORPORALS WHO COMPLETE THE LEADING MARINES DEP ON MARINENET WILL BE CONSIDERED PME COMPLETE FOR GRADE.
B. EFFECTIVE 1 JULY 2011, THE CURRENT LEADING MARINES MCI (MCI 0037) WILL BE DISCONTINUED. MARINES WHO ARE ENROLLED IN THE LEADING MARINES MCI MUST COMPLETE THE MCI BY 31 DECEMBER 2011 OR THEY WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY DISENROLLED. LANCE CORPORALS THAT COMPLETE THE LEADING MARINES MCI PRIOR TO 1 JANUARY 2012 WILL BE CONSIDERED PME COMPLETE FOR GRADE.

The Command UVR is how we do MCI’s in today’s Corps. An E-8 or above or a Captain or above can assign Marines to proctor or grade MCI’s once they are complete. The days of snail mailing MCI’s are over. Most books are PDF.
Bottom line, Yes LCpl’s must complete the Marine Net course to be promoted to Cpl which is all explained in the MARADMIN.

Thanks MSgt. I should have said, it *was* a requirement to get promoted to Cpl way back when.

I'd say this is the final word on the topic. Closed.
