RMKS/1. THIS MARADMIN PROVIDES FTAP PROGRESS AT THE CLOSE OF THE
SECOND QUARTER OF FY01.
2. TO DATE, REENLISTMENT RATES FOR FY01 ARE AHEAD OF THOSE DURING
THE SAME PERIOD IN FY00:
A. 5,352 BOATSPACES OUT OF THE FY01 FTAP MISSION OF 6,069
BOATSPACES HAVE BEEN EXECUTED. 717 BOATSPACES REMAIN. DURING THE
SAME PERIOD LAST YEAR, 4,515 BOATSPACES WERE EXECUTED WITH 1,271
BOATSPACES REMAINING (NOTE, THE FY01 FTAP INCREASED 283 BOATSPACES,
OR 4.7%).
B. 124 MOS'S HAVE CLOSED AS COMPARED TO 71 DURING THE SAME
PERIOD IN FY00.
3. COMMANDERS, SNCOIC'S, CAREER PLANNERS, AND LEADERS ARE COMMENDED
FOR THE OUTSTANDING EFFORTS EXPENDED IN RETAINING FIRST TERM
MARINES. YOUR VIGILANCE THROUGHOUT THE SECOND QUARTER SUSTAINED THE
FTAP MOMENTUM GENERATED IN THE FIRST QUARTER. DURING THE SECOND
QUARTER OF FY01, OVER 1,800 REENLISTMENTS WERE EXECUTED, BRINGING THE
CORPS' FY01 FTAP MISSION WITHIN REACH. ADDITIONALLY, PER THE REF
THE CORPS SURPASSED THE SECOND QUARTER PHASELINE TO EXECUTE 87% OF
THE FTAP BY 31 MARCH 2001. CURRENTLY, 88.2% OF THE FTAP REQUIREMENT
HAS BEEN EXECUTED.
4. DESPITE EXCELLENT PROGRESS, WE MUST STAY ENGAGED. APPROXIMATELY
14,000 FIRST TERM MARINES ARE LEFT IN THE FTAP TARGET POPULATION.
ONCE THE SUMMER MONTHS ARRIVE, THIS TARGET POPULATION WILL RAPIDLY
DECLINE. MAINTAIN RETENTION FOCUS DURING THE COMING MONTHS WHILE THE
MAJORITY OF THE TARGET POPULATION EXISTS. PER THE REF, OUR NEXT
PHASELINE IS TO EXECUTE 97% OF THE FTAP BY 30 JUNE 2001. MANY
BOATSPACES STILL REMAIN. ALSO, LATERAL MOVE OPPORTUNITIES ARE
AVAILABLE FOR THOSE MARINES IN CLOSED MOS'S. PARTICULAR ATTENTION
IS ADVISABLE FOR THE BELOW MOS'S DEMONSTRATING SLOW PROGRESS:
MOS BOATSPACES AVAIL MOS BOATSPACES AVAIL

THE ABOVE LIST IS NOT INCLUSIVE. REAL TIME UPDATES OF THE
BOATSPACE REPORT ARE FOUND ON THE TOTAL FORCE RETENTION SYSTEM
(TFRS), ACCESSIBLE BY EACH UNIT CAREER PLANNER.
5. PROGRESS DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE FY SET THE STAGE FOR FY01
FTAP MISSION SUCCESS. WHILE WE ARE OPTIMISTIC THE CORPS WILL REACH
THIS YEAR'S MISSION, WE CANNOT AFFORD TO SCALE BACK RETENTION
EFFORTS. KEEP UP THE FIGHT AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPERB
LEADERSHIP.//
