Reward System
There is a rank structure in the Young Marines. The ranks begin with Recruit and extend through Sergeant Major.
A Young Marine must graduate Recruit Training; this is where the Young Marine will receive his/her first rank
of Private. If Young Marines do an outstanding job through recruit training, they may obtain Honor Recruit status
and receive the rank of PFC (Private First Class). If the Young Marine fails or misses the promotion test, he/she will need
to wait for the next testing period to try again. A promotion board will be held during monthly meetings. An
Intention to Promote form must be signed 1 month prior to attending a promotion board. Other considerations applied
toward promotion are appearance, personal fitness test (PFT) scores, and attendance.
