14 to 16 years. It depends on the MOS (Military Occupation Specialty) and those who are retiring. When someone retires in a MOS it creates a vacancy and openings for promotion. In some MOS's it can be fast and others very long. When a opening takes place (someone retires) then the Marine Corps promotion board looks at the available candidates and their fitness report scores to fill the vacancy. So make sure you have excellent scores and reports. I picked up SSgt (E6) in 10 years. Gunnery Sergeant (E7) may take up to 14 to 16 years.
