Usually about 14 months from the day you go to boot camp. You'll pick up Private First Class 6 months after you join, and then Lance Corporal 8 months after that. If you go into boot camp as a contract PFC, it will only take 9 months from the day you joined to pick up Lance.

It takes 12-15 months to "pick up" Lance Corporal (LCPL) after graduating boot camp, although that may slow down due to the drawdown from 202,000 - 175,000 Marines. There are two promotion tracks: 1-time & grade", where the young Marines are promoted automatically, and 2-"Meritorius", where the young Marine excels, and is promoted due to his/her superior efforts.
