RMKS/ 1. THIS MARADMIN ANNOUNCES THE RESULTS OF THE FY01-02 SMOS
PROGRAM SELECTION BOARD, CONDUCTED ON 21 NOV 00.
2. THIS WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL BOARD. ALL OFFICERS SELECTED FOR THE
PROGRAM RECEIVED THEIR CHOICE OF MOS. INSTEAD OF GETTING A TOUR IN A
B-BILLET, THESE OFFICERS WILL RECEIVE TRAINING AND A TOUR IN THE
SMOS OF THEIR CHOICE. IN MANY INSTANCES, THESE OFFICERS WILL BE
ABLE TO SPEND ADDITIONAL TIME IN THE OPERATING FORCES, THUS LEARNING
MORE ABOUT ANOTHER PART OF THE MARINE AIR GROUND TASK FORCE. AFTER
THE INITIAL SMOS TOUR, THESE OFFICERS WILL COMPETE WITH THEIR PEERS
FOR CAREER LEVEL SCHOOL AND RETURN TO THE OPERATING FORCES IN TIME
TO COMMAND IN THEIR PRIMARY MOS. THE SMOS PROGRAM BENEFITS BOTH THE
INDIVIDUAL AND THE MARINE CORPS BY HELPING TO FIX MOS SHORTAGES WHILE
OFFERING CAREER INCENTIVES. THE CONTINUED SUCCESS OF THIS PROGRAM
IS DEPENDENT UPON STRONG PARTICIPATION BY THE OPERATING FORCES.
