MARADMIN 465/07 FY08 COLONEL COMMAND SCREENING BOARD RESULTS ON 12 JUL 07, THE COMMANDANT OF THE MARINE CORPS CONVENED THE COLONEL COMMAND SCREENING BOARD. NINE GENERAL OFFICERS SCREENED THE RECORDS OF 215 COLONELS AND COLONELS (SEL) FOR POSSIBLE ASSIGNMENT TO 50 OPERATING/SUPPORTING ESTABLISHMENT COMMANDS. BILLETS CONSIDERED WILL BECOME AVAILABLE DURING THE PERIOD OF 1 JUN 08 TO 31 MAY 09. THE BOARD SELECTED 50 OFFICERS AS PRIMARIES FOR COMMAND. IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THE ASSIGNMENT PROCESS AND THE AVAILABILITY OF INDIVIDUAL OFFICERS, 55 OFFICERS WERE SELECTED AS ALTERNATES AND FOUND ELIGIBLE FOR COMMAND BY THE BOARD. THE ALTERNATE LIST PROVIDES AN ADEQUATE NUMBER OF OFFICERS TO MEET THE COMMAND REQUIREMENTS SHOULD AN OFFICER BE UNABLE TO TAKE COMMAND. THE QUALITY OF THE MARINES CONSIDERED AND THEIR RECORDS REAFFIRMS THAT THE CORPS CONTINUES TO PRODUCE AND PROMOTE LEADERS OF THE HIGHEST CALIBER. THE RELATIVELY SMALL NUMBER OF COMMAND BILLETS AVAILABLE AND THE LARGE NUMBER OF ELIGIBLE OFFICERS COMBINED TO CREATE AN EXCEPTIONALLY COMPETITIVE PROCESS. OUR COMMAND SCREENING PROCESS HAS ONE PURPOSE: TO ENSURE THAT OUR MARINES RECEIVE THE BEST POSSIBLE LEADERSHIP. THE COMMANDANT OF THE MARINE CORPS HAS APPROVED THE FOLLOWING COMMAND SLATE: NAME/COMMAND 8040 GROUP BANTA, EDWARD D./MWSG-17 BONNOT, MATTHEW J/9TH MCD, MCRC GRANATA, JOSEPH P./CLR-15 GROZINSKI, STEVEN M./MARDET FT LEONARD WOOD HEESACKER, DAVID S./MCES JOHNSON III, HAROLD D./MAINT CENTER BARSTOW NICKLE, BRUCE E./CLR-17 SCHULTZ, JOHN M./CLR-1 SIMMONS, JOHN W./CLR-2 STEELE, WAYNE R./MWSG-47 8041/4402 GROUP AIKEN, SCOTT B./II MHG BUCKLEY, JAMES J./23D MARINES BYRNE, BRENNAN T./SOI, MCB CAMPPEN COOLING, NORMAN L./MCMWTC COSTANTINI, WILLIAM R./WTBN QUANTICO COTTRELL, SCOTT C./MSOAG CROMWELL, DOUGLAS F./HQBN 2D MARDIV DINAUER, STEPHEN R./SEC BN MCB CAMPPEN DUNSTON, CHARLES S./HQ WS MEPS DURKIN, ROBERT T./25TH MARINES GEARHART JR, ROBERT A./MCNOSC GENTILE, PHILLIP D./MCIA GOLDEN III, ROBERT G./MCB CAMP FUJI HAYNES, JEFFREY M./24TH MARINES HOLCOMB, LARRY J./11TH MARINES JORDAN, DEWEY G./III MHG KENNEDY, PAUL J./2D MARINES KILLION, MICHAEL P./HQBN 1ST MARDIV LOPEZ, MATTHEW A./6TH MARINES MERCHANT, JEFFREY L./MACG-28 ODONOHUE, DANIEL J./1ST MARINES OLSON, GREGG P./11TH MEU POLLOCK, JOHN M./CBIRF REYNOLDS, LORETTA E./I MHG TULANEY, CHARLES J./4TH MCD, MCRC YOO, DANIEL D./4TH MARINES 8042 GROUP CUTRIGHT, TIMOTHY B./MATSG-53 WHIDBEY ISLAND DAMREN, PAUL L./31ST MEU DAY II, NEWELL B./MATSG-33 OCEANA DESENS, MARK J./26TH MEU GRACE, JAMES D./TRAINING WING FIVE LEARY, ROBERT F./MAG-49 OSBORN, ROY A./15TH MEU RICE, ROBERT D./HQSVC BN MARFORPAC ROBERTS, LAWRENCE E./MATSG-23 LEMOORE ROGERS, PHILLIPE D./HQSPT BN CAMPPEN SIMONDS JR, FRANK H./HQSVC BN CAMP BUTLER SMITH, DALE M./MCAS FUTENMA WERTH, MARK A./MCAS YUMA WISE, MARK R./MAG-12 CMC PERSONALLY SCREENS AND SLATES SEVERAL SPECIFIC COMMANDS AND BILLETS.
