GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. THE PURPOSE OF THIS MARADMIN IS TO PUBLISH THE
SLATING PROCESS, ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA, AND TO IDENTIFY THE
ANTICIPATED ILS QUOTAS AVAILABLE FOR AY04/05.
2. THANKS TO THE EFFORTS OF THE MARINE CORPS UNIVERSITY (MCU),
MARINE CORPS INSTITUTE (MCI), AND THE COLLEGE OF CONTINUING
EDUCATION, THE QUALITY OF THE MARINE CORPS' NONRESIDENT PROFESSIONAL
MILITARY EDUCATION (PME) CONTINUES TO IMPROVE EACH YEAR. GREATER
FLEXIBILITY TO COMPLETE APPROPRIATE LEVEL PME IS AVAILABLE TO ALL
MARINE CORPS OFFICERS THROUGH THE RESIDENT AND NON-RESIDENT
PROGRAMS. THE MARINE CORPS' DIRECTION IS CLEAR: ALL OFFICERS SHOULD
COMPLETE THE PME APPROPRIATE FOR THEIR GRADE AS AN ENHANCEMENT FOR
PROMOTION CONSIDERATION AND FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
3. OFFICERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO ENGAGE DIRECTLY WITH THEIR MONITORS
IN ORDER TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF AN OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE
ULTIMATE DECISION REGARDING ILS SLATING. WE DEMAND MUCH FROM OUR
MARINES; THEREFORE, WE SHOULD NOT CREATE SITUATIONS IN WHICH WE
REDUCE FAMILY STABILITY AND CAUSE UNDUE STRESS WHILE ACCOMPLISHING
INSTITUTIONAL GOALS OF PME. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT POSSIBLE, ONLY
VOLUNTEERS WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR RESIDENT ILS.
4. THE ILS SLATING PROCESS FOR AY04/05 WILL BEGIN WITH THE ELIGIBLE
OFFICERS (PARA 6) VOLUNTEERING TO ATTEND THE ILS RESIDENT PROGRAM.
ALL ELIGIBLE OFFICERS MUST CONTACT THEIR RESPECTIVE MONITOR TO

ILS NLT 31 OCT 2003. FOLLOWING THIS DEADLINE, MONITORS WILL LIST
THOSE OFFICERS BEING CONSIDERED FOR ILS ASSIGNMENT ON THE INDIVIDUAL
MONITOR'S WEBPAGE.
5. A TOTAL OF 172 OFFICERS WILL BE SLATED TO ATTEND ILS DUR AY04/05.
SLATING FOR RESIDENT ILS WILL RESIDE WITHIN MANPOWER. MONITORS WILL
SCREEN RECORDS OF ALL ELIGIBLE OFFICERS WHO VOLUNTEER AND MAKE THEIR
RECOMMENDATION. MONITORS WILL ALREADY HAVE COMMUNICATED WITH THE
OFFICERS IN THE ELIGIBLE POPULATION TO DETERMINE THEIR ILS
PREFERENCE. COMPLETION OF NONRESIDENT PME DOES NOT PRECLUDE
ELIGIBILITY OR SELECTION FOR A RESIDENT PME SCHOOL. THE SLATING
PROCESS WILL BE VALIDATED BY A PANEL OF OFFICERS, TO INCLUDE LTCOL
MONITORS, COL MONITORS, HEAD OF MMOA, DIRECTOR, PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
DIVISION AND A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE MCU. FINAL APPROVAL OF THE
ILS SLATE RESIDES WITH THE DEPUTY COMMANDANT FOR MANPOWER AND
RESERVE AFFAIRS.
6. THE ILS SLATING PROCESS IS ANTICIPATED TO BE COMPLETED BY
DEC 2003. THE OFFICERS SLATED TO ILS WILL BE LISTED ON MMOA'S HOME
