RMKS/1. PURPOSE. TO ANNOUNCE MULTIPLE MODIFICATIONS TO THE
REFERENCE.
2. FY01 FTAP SRB EXECUTION HAS EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS DUE
TO MANY FACTORS. MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT IS DUE TO THE HARD WORK
OF CAREER PLANNERS AND MARINES WHO ARE FOCUSED ON RETAINING OUR
BEST AND BRIGHTEST.
3. DURING THE FIRST 4 MONTHS OF FY01, WE HAVE EXECUTED A GREATER
NUMBER OF ZONE A SRB CONTRACTS THAN WE HAVE IN ANY OTHER FY. THE
MARINE CORPS RETENTION TEAM HAS DONE AN EXCEPTIONAL JOB.
4. CURRENTLY THE MARINE CORPS REQUIRES 1,800 MORE FTAP
REENLISTMENTS TO CLOSE OUT OUR FY01 MISSION OF 6,069.
5. UNFORTUNATELY, OUR SUCCESS HAS EXHAUSTED OUR SRB BUDGET.
THEREFORE, EFFECTIVE 0001 HOURS 14 MAR 01, ALL SRB MULTIPLES WILL
BE REDUCED TO ZERO.
6. THE GUIDANCE CONTAINED IN REF A WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT THROUGH 13
MAR 01. COMMANDERS AND CAREER PLANNERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO WORK
WITH THOSE MARINES WHOSE DECISION TO REENLIST IS BEING INFLUENCED
DIRECTLY BY THE BONUS INCENTIVE IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THEIR
REENLISTMENT REQUESTS BEFORE 13 MARCH.
7. ALTHOUGH WE CANNOT FORECAST AT THIS TIME WHETHER
ADDITIONAL SRB FUNDING WILL BECOME AVAILABLE, WE ANTICIPATE
THAT ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDING WILL BE APPLIED TO SUPPORT ZONE B AND C
REENLISTMENTS.
8. THIS BULLETIN IS NOT APPLICABLE TO THE MARINE CORPS RESER
