RMKS/1. THE PURPOSE OF THIS MARADMIN IS TO PUBLISH THE SLATING
PROCESS, ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA, AND TO IDENTIFY THE ANTICPATED
ILS QUOTAS AVAILABLE FOR AY02/03.
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) HAS VASTLY IMPROVED DURING RECENT YEARS.
GREATER FLEXIBILITY TO COMPLETE APPROPRIATE LEVEL PME IS NOW
AVAILABLE TO ALL MARINE CORPS OFFICERS. 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. IN LIGHT OF THIS, ONLY VOLUNTEERS WILL
BE CONSIDERED FOR RESIDENT ILS.
4. THE ILS SLATING PROCESS FOR AY02/03 WILL BEGIN WITH THE ELIGIBLE
OFFICERS (PARA 6) VOLUNTEERING TO ATTEND THE ILS RESIDENT PROGRAM.
ALL ELIGIBLE OFFICERS MUST CONTACT THEIR RESPECTIVE MONITOR TO

THOSE OFFICERS BEING CONSIDERED FOR ILS SLATING ON THE INDIVIDUAL
MONITOR'S WEBPAGE.
5. A TOTAL OF 173 OFFICERS WILL BE SLATED TO ATTEND ILS DUR AY02/03.
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 PREFERENCE.
COMPLETION OF NONRESIDENT PME DOES NOT PRECLUDE ELIGIBLE OR SELECTION
FOR RESIDENT PME. THE SLATING PROCESS WILL BE VALIDATED BY A PANEL
OF OFFICERS, TO INCLUDE LTCOL MONITORS, COL MONITORS, HEAD OF MMOA,
PMD AND A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE MCU. FINAL APPROVAL OF THE ILS
SLATE RESIDES WITH DEPUTY COMMANDANT M&RA.
6. THE ILS SLATING PROCESS IS ANTICIPATED TO BE COMPLETED BY
