 Marines, the junior illicit performance evaluation system is undergoing an important upgrade this summer. Beginning in late July 2021, the Mental Agility Pillar will be adjusted to account for completion of MOS proficiency enhancing courses and qualifications. This initiative begins with select aviation maintenance MOSes where Marines may receive points within the Mental Agility Pillar for earning key qualifications. These are Collateral Duty Inspector, Collateral Duty Quality Assurance Representative, and Quality Assurance Safety Observer. This initiative will extend to all MOSes over the next year as Headquarters Marine Corps works with the occupational fields to develop a list of key courses and or qualifications for each MOS. The other components of Mental Agility, Marine Net, Degrees, and Self-Education remain. However, their weighting will adjust to account for the new component. As a result, Marines may see a change to the PES score once the initiative is implemented. Marines, this is one more way to maximize your J-PES score with objective points towards promotion. Work hard, strive for excellence in your MOS, increase your lethality, and reap the rewards.
