Everyone knows what is going to happen, google becomes your best friend and/or your peers in the room get together and do it! I find it a little disturbing that is what the Marine Corps has come to for requirements for promotion.<br /> I understand that in the MOS Road map it says minimum requirement is 8010, but truthfully who has been promoted with only the bare minimum?
