PROGRAM AND FY09 BSSRB PROGRAM.
GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. PURPOSE. RETAINING OUR COMBAT EXPERIENCED
MARINES, AND THEIR COMBAT EXPERIENCED LEADERS, IS ONE OF THE
COMMANDANT'S HIGHEST PRIORITIES AND IS A CRUCIAL COMPONENT OF
ACHIEVING THE FUTURE 202K MARINE CORPS. TO ACHIEVE THIS END STATE,
THE MARINE CORPS MUST SUCCEED IN MEETING THE FIRST TERM FORCE
MANPOWER REQUIREMENTS. THIS MARADMIN ANNOUNCES THE FY09 FIRST TERM
ALIGNMENT PLAN (FTAP) AND TASKS THE SEVEN MAJOR SUBORDINATE COMMANDS
(MSC)--MARFORCOM, MARFORPAC, MCCDC, MARFORRES, MCRC, MARSOC, AND
LOGCOM--WITH A FAIR SHARE OF THE FTAP REENLISTMENT TARGET. THE
TARGETS IN PARAGRAPH 3 BELOW ARE BASED UPON EACH MSC'S EAS POPULATION
BY MOS, AND PROVIDES THE FOCUS OF EFFORT FOR COMMANDERS AND CAREER
RETENTION SPECIALISTS (CRS).
2. BACKGROUND
A. DUE TO THE EFFORTS OF COMMANDERS, SERGEANTS MAJOR, CRS(S), AND
MARINE LEADERSHIP AT EVERY LEVEL, THE MARINE CORPS HAS ACHIEVED AN
UNPRECEDENTED LEVEL OF RETENTION OF THE FIRST TERM FORCE. THE CORPS
EXPECTS CONTINUED FTAP SUCCESS AS OUR FIRST TERM MARINES CONTINUE TO
SERVE CORPS AND COUNTRY IN A TIME OF GREAT NEED. OUR PAST SUCCESS IS
DUE TO YOUR OUTSTANDING EFFORTS.
B. IN FY09, THE AGGREGATE FTAP TARGET OF 7,334 MARINES REQUIRES THE
REENLISTMENT OF 31.0 PERCENT OF THE FIRST TERM MARINES WITH AN EAS
FROM 1 OCT 08 TO 30 SEP 09. LEADERS AT EVERY LEVEL MUST CONTINUE
TO SHARE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MARINE CORPS RETENTION EFFORTS IN ORDER
TO ENSURE WE SUSTAIN THE QUALITY FIRST TERM FORCE THAT WE ENJOY
TODAY. MAINTAINING A PERSONAL LEADERSHIP TOUCH WITH OUR FIRST TERM
MARINES, AND ENCOURAGING REENLISTMENT, ARE THE KEYS TO ACHIEVING
RETENTION SUCCESS.

FOLLOWING FY09 FTAP TARGETS, FOR MARINES REENLISTING FOR THE FIRST
TIME, WHOSE EXPIRATION OF CURRENT CONTRACT (ECC) ON THE DATE OF

4. COORDINATING INSTRUCTIONS
A. IT IS PARAMOUNT THAT LEADERSHIP AT ALL LEVELS OF THE CHAIN OF
COMMAND ENCOURAGE OUR BEST AND BRIGHTEST FIRST TERM MARINES TO STAY
MARINE. THE ALLOCATIONS LISTED ABOVE ARE CONSIDERED MINIMUM
REQUIREMENTS ONLY. EVEN IF THE MSC TARGETS HAVE BEEN MET, COMMANDS
MUST HELP EACH OTHER ACHIEVE THE OVERALL TARGETS BY CONTINUING TO
SEEK OUT AND SUBMIT QUALIFIED MARINES FOR REENLISTMENT. HOWEVER,
COMMANDERS, SENIOR ENLISTED LEADERS, AND CRS(S) ARE REMINDED THAT
BOAT SPACE CAPS ARE IN EFFECT FOR THE FY09 FTAP PLAN, WITH THE
FOLLOWING EXCEPTIONS: 0211, 0231, 0241, 0261, 0321, 0431, 0451,
0511, 0656, 0689, 0842, 0861, 2336, 2671, 2673, 2821, 2834, 2871,
6114, 6116, 6156, 6174, 6176, 6214, 6326, 6842, AND 7257. THE MOS(S)
LISTED ABOVE MAY EXCEED BOAT SPACE CAPS, AS THE TARGETS LISTED IN
PARAGRAPH 3, REPRESENT A MINIMUM GOAL. ADDITIONALLY, MOS(S) 0311,
0313, 0331, 0341, 0351, AND 0352 ARE AUTHORIZED TO EXCEED BOAT SPACE
CAPS. HOWEVER, ELIGIBLE MARINES WHO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE
REFERENCE MUST AGREE TO REENLIST AND REMAIN IN ONE OF THE MCC(S)
LISTED UNDER PARAGRAPH 6 OF THE REFERENCE FOR TWO YEARS. THESE
MARINES REMAIN ELIGIBLE FOR A SRB AND THE MCC SRB KICKER. 03XX
ELIGIBLE MARINES WHO ARE UNWILLING TO REENLIST UNDER THE REQUIREMENTS
ABOVE MAY SUBMIT FOR A LATERAL MOVE OR COMPETE FOR A LIMITED QUALITY
REENLISTMENT PROGRAM (QRP) SPACE. ADDITIONALLY, 03XX MARINES IN OVER
03XX MOS(S) ARE HIGHLY ENCOURAGED TO REQUEST AN INTRA-OCCFLD LATERAL
MOVE TO SHORT 03XX MOS(S), WHICH RECEIVE SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER SRB(S).
FOR EXAMPLE, A QUALIFIED 0351 WHO REQUESTS AN INTRA-OCCFLD LATERAL
MOVE TO BECOME A 0313 WILL RECEIVE THE 0313 SRB UPON RECEIVING THE
0313 PMOS.

7314, AND 7382--HAVE VERY SMALL OR ZERO EAS POPULATIONS. FTAP
MISSIONS FOR THESE MOS(S) ARE BASED UPON EACH COMMAND'S OVERALL FIRST
TERM EAS POPULATION AND ALLOWS FOR LATERAL MOVES. MARINES WHO
LATERALLY MOVE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FTAP WILL COUNT AS A
REENLISTMENT IN THE MOS TO WHICH THEY LATERALLY MOVED.
E. FISCAL YEAR (FY) CREDIT. THE FY OF A MARINE’S ECC ON THE DATE OF
REENLISTMENT WILL BE USED TO DETERMINE WHICH FY REENLISTMENT TARGET
WILL BE CREDITED. FOR EXAMPLE, IF A MARINE WITH AN ECC DURING FY09
REENLISTED IN FY08, THAT MARINE’S REENLISTMENT WILL BE CREDITED AS AN
FY09 REENLISTMENT.
(1) THE REENLISTMENT OF MARINES WHO WERE AUTHORIZED CROSS-FY
EXTENSIONS, BUT WHOSE EXTENSIONS WERE CANCELED DUE TO EXECUTING
REENLISTMENTS PRIOR TO THEIR ECC(S), WILL BE CREDITED AS A
REENLISTMENT IN THE FY OF THEIR ECC(S) ON THE DATE OF REENLISTMENT,
AND WILL NOT BE CREDITED TOWARD THE FY OF THEIR EAS(S). FOR EXAMPLE,
ON 1 MARCH 2009 A MARINE WITH AN EAS AND ECC OF 30 JUNE 2009 SIGNS A
FIVE MONTH EXTENSION. THE MARINE’S EAS CHANGES TO 30 NOVEMBER 2009;
HOWEVER, THE MARINE’S ECC REMAINS 30 JUNE 2009. ON 15 MAY 2009, THE
MARINE REENLISTS. SINCE A MARINE MUST BE ON A CURRENT CONTRACT TO
REENLIST, AND THE MARINE’S REENLISTMENT DATE IS PRIOR TO 30 JUNE 2009
–-THE MARINE’S ECC-–THE MARINE’S EXTENSION MUST BE CANCELED.
THIS MARINE’S REENLISTMENT COUNTS TOWARD FY 2009.
(2) THE REENLISTMENT OF MARINES WHO WERE AUTHORIZED CROSS-
FY EXTENSIONS, AND WHOSE EXTENSIONS WERE EXECUTED AND RESULTED IN AN
ECC CHANGE, WILL BE CREDITED AS A REENLISTMENT IN THE FY OF THEIR
ECC(S) WHICH POSTED TO MCTFS DUE TO THE EXTENSIONS TAKING EFFECT.
FOR EXAMPLE, ON 1 MARCH 2009 A MARINE WITH AN EAS AND ECC OF 30 JUNE
2009 SIGNS A FIVE MONTH EXTENSION. THE MARINE’S EAS CHANGES TO 30
NOVEMBER 2009; HOWEVER, THE MARINE’S ECC REMAINS 30 JUNE 2009. ON 1
JULY 2009 THE MARINE’S EXTENSION GOES INTO EFFECT, AND HIS ECC
CHANGES TO 30 NOVEMBER 2009. ON 15 AUGUST 2009, THE MARINE
REENLISTS. SINCE THE MARINE’S ECC IS NOW 30 NOVEMBER 2009, THIS
MARINE’S REENLISTMENT COUNTS TOWARD FY 2010.
