GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. THIS MARADMIN ESTABLISHES POLICIES AND

2. THE FOLLOWING DEFINITIONS ARE ESTABLISHED:
A. BOATSPACE: AN AVAILABLE REENLISTMENT OPPORTUNITY SPECIFIED
BY MOS.
B. OPEN MOS: AN MOS IN WHICH REENLISTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
(BOATSPACES) EXIST.
C. CLOSED MOS: AN MOS IN WHICH NO REENLISTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
(BOATSPACES) REMAIN.
D. FTAP MARINE: A MARINE ON THEIR INITIAL CONTRACT OF
ENLISTMENT. FY09 FTAP MARINES HAVE AN ECC BETWEEN 1 OCT 08 AND 30
SEPT 09.
E. FAST FILLING MOS (FFM): AN MOS THAT TRADITIONALLY RECEIVES
MORE FIRST TERM REENLISTMENT REQUESTS THAN BOATSPACES AVAILABLE
DURING THE DESIGNATED FFM SUBMISSION PERIOD.

BOATSPACE, AND WHO HAS LESS THAN 18 YEARS OF ACTIVE SERVICE ON THE

08 AND 30 SEP 09, OR IF REENLISTMENT OCCURRED PRIOR TO 1 OCT 08, HAD
AN ECC BETWEEN 1 OCT 08 AND 30 SEP 09 ON THE DATE OF REENLISTMENT.
3. BOATSPACE CAPS WILL BE RE-ESTABLISHED FOR FY09 FTAP. BOATSPACE
CAPS MAY BE EXCEEDED IN EXCEPTIONAL CASES, OR WHEN THE MOS
REQUIREMENT FAR EXCEEDS THE MOS INVENTORY. ONLY FY09 FTAP
REENLISTMENTS WILL COUNT TOWARDS THE FY09 FTAP MISSION AS A
BOATSPACE.
4. FTAP MARINES WITH AN EAS IN OUT-FISCAL YEARS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE
FOR REENLISTMENT, BUT MAY BE CONSIDERED BY CMC (MMEA) ON A
CASE-BY-CASE BASIS WHEN ADDITIONAL OBLIGATED SERVICE IS REQUIRED FOR
THE FOLLOWING HIGH DEMAND(HD)/LOW DENSITY(LD) MOS'S: 0231, 0261,

REENLISTMENT AUTHORITY WILL BE CONSIDERED VOID. IT IS IMPERATIVE
THAT UNIT CRS'S MANAGE THEIR RELM AUTHORIZATIONS TO ENSURE THERE ARE
NO LAPSES OF EXPIRATION DATES.

59XX OCC FIELD WILL REQUIRE A 60-MONTH CONTRACT DUE TO THE LENGTH OF
SCHOOL(S) REQUIRED.
C. REQUESTS FOR LATERAL MOVE INTO THE 0321 MOS BY OUT-YEAR FTAP
MARINES WILL NOT BE ENTERTAINED DUE TO MOS SCHOOL-SEAT CONSTRAINTS
CREATED BY INITIAL ACCESSIONS. PRIORITY FOR LATERAL MOVE WILL BE
GIVEN TO FY09 FTAP MARINES.
D. LATERAL MOVE REQUESTS MAY CONTAIN A MAXIMUM OF THREE MOS
CHOICES FOR WHICH THE MARINE IS QUALIFIED PER REF B. IF THE MARINE

C. QRP BOATSPACES MAY NOT EXCEED 105% IN ANY MOS OR MORE THAN
ONE BOATSPACE PER MOS IN CASES WHERE ONE BOATSPACE EQUALS MORE THAN
105%, UNLESS AUTHORIZED BY CMC (MMEA).
D. TO SELECT MARINES COMPETING FOR QRP BOATSPACES, A MONTHLY
QRP BOARD WILL NORMALLY BE HELD BY CMC (MMEA) DURING THE SECOND WEEK

DELAYING THEIR DECISION TO REENLIST COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THEIR
ABILITY TO RECEIVE A SRB PAYMENT.
2. MARINES MUST REENLIST FOR A MINIMUM OF 48 MONTHS, WHICH
MUST INCLUDE AT LEAST 36 MONTHS ADDITIONAL OBLIGATED SERVICE
(SERVICE ADDED TO THE ENDING DATE OF THE CURRENT CONTRACT RESULTS IN
AN OBLIGATION OF AT LEAST 36 MORE MONTHS OF SERVICE), TO BE ELIGIBLE
TO RECEIVE AN SRB. HOWEVER, TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR A FULL SRB, MARINES
MUST REENLIST FOR AT LEAST 48 MONTHS ADDITIONAL OBLIGATED SERVICE.
ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS CMC (MMEA-6) MAY AUTHORIZE SHORTER
REENLISTMENT PERIODS BUT THESE MARINES WILL ONLY BE ELIGIBLE FOR AN
SRB AT A PRORATED AMOUNT IF THE REENLISTMENT PERIOD INCLUDES AT
LEAST 36 MONTHS ADDITIONAL OBLIGATED SERVICE.
3. FTAP MARINES IN SOME MOS'S MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE AN
OPFOR SRB KICKER, IF THEY AGREE TO REMAIN IN PUBLISHED MCC'S IN THE
OPERATING FORCES FOR AT LEAST TWO ADDITIONAL YEARS BEYOND THEIR END
OF TOUR ROTATION DATE.
B. REENLISTMENT INCENTIVE SCHOOL SEATS. INFO FORTHCOMING VIA
SEPARATE CORRESPONDENCE.
C. DUTY STATION INCENTIVE.
1. FIRST TERM MARINES AUTHORIZED REENLISTMENT IN THEIR PMOS
MAY REQUEST DUTY STATION ASSIGNMENTS IN CONJUNCTION WITH
REENLISTMENT REQUESTS. DUTY STATION ASSIGNMENTS ARE AUTHORIZED ON A
FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS AND WILL BE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING:
A. THE NEEDS OF THE MARINE CORPS.
B. BILLET VACANCIES.
C. MARINE PREFERENCE.
D. DEPLOYED TIME.
E. FY09 FIRST TERM MARINES WITH TWO OR MORE YEARS ON
STATION MUST INDICATE THE MCC OF AT LEAST ONE, AND A MAXIMUM OF
THREE, DUTY STATION ASSIGNMENTS ON THE RELM.
F. IN THE EVENT FTAP MARINES HAVE LESS THAN TWO YEARS
ON STATION, THEY SHOULD REQUEST DEFERRAL OF THEIR DUTY STATION
INCENTIVES UNTIL 6 MONTHS PRIOR TO COMPLETING THEIR CURRENT TOUR OF
DUTY. REQUESTS FOR ASSIGNMENTS OF DUTY STATION INCENTIVES SHOULD BE
SENT VIA NAVAL MESSAGE TO CMC (MMEA-8).
G. IN CERTAIN INSTANCES, CMC (MMEA-8) MAY NOT BE ABLE
TO ASSIGN MARINES TO ONE OF THE MCC'S LISTED AS A DUTY STATION
INCENTIVE. IN THESE CASES, THE CRS SHOULD CORRESPOND WITH THE

H. FTAP MARINES GRANTED LATERAL MOVE IN CONJUNCTION
WITH REENLISTMENT WILL BE ASSIGNED PER THE NEEDS OF THE NEW MOS.
ADDITIONALLY, THEY ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR SPECIAL DUTY ASSIGNMENTS OR
OPFOR INCENTIVE PAY.
I. IF A REQUEST IS SUBMITTED WITHOUT DUTY STATION
OPTIONS, CMC (MMEA-8) WILL ASSIGN A DUTY STATION. IF APPROVED, THE
FTAP MARINE WILL STILL BE REQUIRED TO EXECUTE REENLISTMENT BEFORE
THE EXPIRATION DATE SPECIFIED. EXTENSIONS TO EXPIRATION DATES WILL
NOT BE APPROVED SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF NEGOTIATING DUTY STATION
INCENTIVES.

PROGRAM OUTLINES THE PROGRAM'S INTENT TO PROMOTE AND FACILITATE
MILITARY ENLISTMENT IN SUPPORT OF NATIONAL SERVICE.

OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO THEM AS IDENTIFIED IN REF D. NCS PARTICIPANTS
WILL REQUIRE GUIDANCE ON THESE CAREER OPTIONS.
B. NCS MARINES DESIRING TO REMAIN ON ACTIVE DUTY WILL BE

THEIR EAS VIA TFRS. NCS MARINES WILL HAVE TO COMPETE FOR AN FTAP
BOATSPACE IN THE FISCAL YEAR OF THE NEW EAS.
C. CRS'S MUST IDENTIFY THE NCS STATUS IN COMMAND COMMENTS ON
THE TFRS REQUEST. EXTENDING NCS MARINES FOR 24 MONTHS VICE
REENLISTING THEM AT THE 2 YEAR MARK WILL PUT THEM ON PAR WITH THEIR
PEERS IN THE FIRST TERM POPULATION WHERE THEY CAN COMPETE ON AN
EQUAL BASIS FOR AN FTAP BOATSPACE.
D. NCS MARINES DESIRING TO FULFILL THE REMAINDER OF THEIR
OBLIGATION IN THE RESERVE COMPONENT WILL BE REFERRED TO A PRIOR
SERVICE RECRUITER IN ORDER TO EXECUTE A RESERVE CONTRACT. CONTACT
YOUR LOCAL PRIOR SERVICE RECRUITER WHEN YOU RECEIVE A UNIT DIARY
ADVISORY ON NCS PARTICIPANTS ASSIGNED TO YOUR UNIT.
14. SUBSEQUENT TERM ALIGNMENT PLAN (STAP). STAP IS DESIGNED TO
FOCUS ON THE RETENTION OF CAREER MARINES IN THE GRADES OF CORPORAL,

A. PER REF E, FY09 CAREER MARINES REQUESTING REENLISTMENT IN
THEIR PMOS MAY SUBMIT FOR REENLISTMENT UP TO 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO
THEIR ECC. ONLY MARINES WHO HAVE OR HAD AN ECC BETWEEN 1 OCT 08 AND

C. UPON APPROVAL, CAREER MARINES WILL BE GRANTED 30 DAYS TO
EXECUTE REENLISTMENT AUTHORITY.
D. IN THE EVENT REENLISTMENT IS NOT EXECUTED BEFORE THE
EXPIRATION DATE, THE REENLISTMENT AUTHORITY WILL BE CONSIDERED VOID.
E. IN THE EVENT AN EXTENSION OF THE EXPIRATION DATE IS
NECESSARY, CMC (MMEA-6) WILL CONSIDER EACH REQUEST ON A CASE-BY-CASE
BASIS. TO BE CONSIDERED FOR AN EXPIRATION DATE EXTENSION COMMANDS
MUST NOTIFY CMC (MMEA-6) 5 WORKING DAYS PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE.
F. IN THE EVENT THAT A MARINE, WHO IS MORE THAN 12 MONTHS FROM
EAS, MUST GAIN OBLIGATED SERVICE TO EXECUTE PCS ORDERS, EARLY
REENLISTMENTS WILL BE GRANTED ONLY IF THE MARINE HAS LESS THAN 18
MONTHS OF SERVICE REMAINING ON CURRENT CONTRACT. MARINES WITH MORE
THAN 18 MONTHS OF SERVICE REMAINING ON CURRENT CONTRACT WILL GAIN
THE OBLIGATED SERVICE THROUGH THE USE OF EXTENSIONS.
G. IN THE EVENT THAT A MARINE REQUIRES AN INVOLUNTARY
SEPARATION PAY DETERMINATION, CMC (MMEA-6) WILL ONLY MAKE
DETERMINATIONS FOR SEPARATION PAY WITHIN 90 DAYS OF A MARINE'S EAS.
ANY REQUEST FOR INVOLUNTARY SEPARATION PAY OUTSIDE OF 90 DAYS WILL

THE REENLISTMENT PERIOD INCLUDES AT LEAST 36 MONTHS ADDITIONAL
OBLIGATED SERVICE.
B. SRB AUTHORITY IS GRANTED FOR SERVICE IN THE PMOS. THEREFORE,
MARINES SELECTED FOR FIRST SERGEANT WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE
A SRB FOR THE PMOS HELD PRIOR TO SELECTION, EVEN IF REENLISTMENT
OCCURS PRIOR TO PROMOTION TO FIRST SERGEANT. ANY SRB AUTHORIZATION
NOT EXECUTED PRIOR TO THE PUBLICATION OF THE SELECTION LIST WILL BE
REVOKED.
C. STAP SERGEANTS IN SOME MOS'S MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE AN
OPFOR SRB KICKER, IF THEY AGREE TO REMAIN IN PUBLISHED MCC'S IN THE
