Colonel Folsom. Supervisory authority action in a court-martial.
Mr. Ely. I show you now page 3 of this exhibit. Could you tell us generally what this page of the record is.
Colonel Folsom. Page 3 of the Marine Corps Enlisted Service Record constitutes a record of primary duty assignments, the organization to which the individual was attached, with the dates, and also shows conduct and proficiency markings.
Mr. Ely. In connection with these conduct and proficiency markings, could you tell us what the scale is on which these grades are assigned?
Colonel Folsom. The Marine Corps marks on a scale of from 0 to 5.0.
Mr. Ely. 5.0 is the maximum grade?
Colonel Folsom. That is correct.
Mr. Ely. And what would be the minimum satisfactory grade? Is there no minimum?
Colonel Folsom. No; there is none as such, because the markings are averaged at the end of the enlistment, and in accordance with existing regulations, the numerical quality of the markings determine the difference in the character of discharge between honorable and under honorable conditions.
Mr. Ely. Do you know what the minimum average for an honorable discharge would be?
