What are the two Non Punitive types of Mast?

The two Non Punitive types of Mast are Meritorious Mast and Request Mast.

Meritorious Mast is a non-punitive recognition awarded to Marines for exemplary performance, acts of service, or significant achievements. This type of mast allows leaders to recognize and commend Marines for their hard work and dedication, fostering a positive environment and encouraging continued excellence. It serves to boost morale and strengthen unit cohesion by publicly acknowledging individual contributions.

Request Mast, on the other hand, is a means for Marines to appeal a decision or seek redress without it being punitive. This process allows them to raise issues, grievances, or requests directly to a commanding officer in a formal setting. It ensures that service members have a channel to communicate concerns that affect them, promoting transparency and accountability within the ranks.

Both types are non-punitive as they are intended for recognition and communication rather than punishment, differentiating them from other forms of disciplinary action that may have punitive consequences.
