RMKS/1. PAR 4301.4 OF THE REFERENCE DISCUSSES PROCEDURES FOR
REQUESTING EXTENDED OR ADDITIONAL AT. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
RESERVE ORDERS WRITING SYSTEM (ROWS) ALLOWS THIS APPROVAL PROCESS
TO TAKE PLACE ELECTRONICALLY AND OBVIATES THE REQUIREMENT TO SUBMIT
WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE TO HQMC FOR FINAL APPROVAL.
2. THIS MESSAGE ESTABLISHES PROCEDURES FOR REQUESTING EXTENDED AND
ADDITIONAL (OR SECOND) ANNUAL TRAINING. UPDATES TO THE REFERENCE
ARE FORTHCOMING.

EXCEED THE AUTHORIZED PERIOD (13 DAYS FOR IMAS, 15 DAYS FOR SMCR)
OR INVOLVE A SECOND AT.

WHICH WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE ROUTED TO HQMC (RAC) FOR APPROVAL.
COMPLETE JUSTIFICATION, EXPLAINING THE REASON FOR THE ADDITIONAL
