official as of this morning
Being meritoriously promoted to Cpl. as of Jan. 2nd. My MOL was updated this morning to show my Select Grade of E-4.
Very stoked and proud to be a a part of the blood stripe brotherhood.
I would have picked up on my composite score anyway but being meritorious feels great and looks good being in my SRB.
And I hope ya'll don't mind, I changed my profile and avatar already.

hahaha....I know how some of you old salts get about that kind of stuff so I took it down. I'll put it back up though.
Since coming home from deployment I've been filling a Sgt/E-5 billet anyway so wearing the chevrons and all that is just icing on the cake. And the reason I got meritorious.

Yeah I have drill weekend coming up on Jan 11th-13th, there will be a company formation on Friday the 11th when I will get pinned. I really don't want anything that big but being that it's meritorious they want it done in front of everyone. My Co. Gunz deployed with me and has been a big part of my career so he will be pinning me.
Promotion warrants still look the same, I have seen the old ones.

Congratulations on your meritorious promotion! They do feel good when they occur. Just considered yourself frocked here on leatherneck. (Ya get the title w/o the pay!)
I'd pin on that stripe and blood stripe for you Marine Corps style but then my screen would be cracked, so have to just leave it at that.
And don't make apologies for being a POG. Takes all spokes in the wheel to make the green machine operate!
Nice avatar there, USMC1963!

Proud of you! You're a huge asset here on this forum as I'm sure with your reserve unit. Your future is bright and I look forward to following it here.
I was a pogue myself but a damned good one. Made meritorious LCpl on my way to Marine Security Guard School (first time; went back years later as a SNCO where I was honor grad).

Congrats on the promotion josephd
We're glad younger Marines are helping on "Ask a Marine" ,
Your advise is more current than some of us... ,
We don't even mind the fact that you're younger than us.
Somebody's gotta "Carry On"......

Man I remember get Cpl. we called it the blood strip for a different reason cause the way they pinned it on you..
Cpl's and above could pin them on you and you had the gauntlet to walk while they one on each side would hit your upper arms and then knee your thigh. Hopefully you didn't have very many NCO's ..
