Historically, the submission and processing of honorary awards have been governed by reference (c).  However, the manual methods outlined in reference (c) are outdated and lack efficiency.  MCO 12451.2D is currently undergoing a comprehensive revision to streamline processes and update requirements.  The forthcoming update will introduce substantial improvements to the nomination and review processes and provide clarifying guidance on the honorary awards program. 3.  Action.  To ensure the continuity of recognition for deserving civilian employees and to prevent administrative delays during this transitional period, this MARADMIN provides interim guidance to bridge the gap until the revised reference (c) is formally published and implemented across the Marine Corps.  Human Resource Offices (HROs) will use the following SharePoint application links to submit and track honorary awards nominations and retirement/career service awards for their servicing populations: 3.a.  For Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) Length of Service Awards (40 years and above), Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) retirement letters (30+ years of Federal service), and SECNAV retirement certificates (40+ years of Federal service), use: https:(slash)(slash)usmc.sharepoint-mil.us/:l:/r/teams/MPC-40Labor andEmployeeRelations/Lists/Retirement%20Awards%20and%20Career%20 Service%20Awards?e=7qgEsH 3.b.  For all civilian honorary award nomination packages including the Navy Superior Civilian Service Award, Navy Distinguished Civilian Service Award, and all higher-level awards administered by the Department of Defense and the Department of the Navy, use: https: (slash)(slash)usmc.sharepoint-mil.us/:l:/r/teams/MPC-40Labor andEmployeeRelations/Lists/Test1?e=zf8Sdw 4.  Servicing HROs are granted access to these submission links to request honorary awards nomination packages and retirement/career service awards as outlined in reference (c). 5.  This MARADMIN is effective immediately and will remain in effect until the publication of the updated reference (c), or until specifically cancelled. 6.  MARADMIN release authorized by Senior Executive Service Michael R.
