2.  Selectees with missing documents will be contacted by separate 

correspondence.  Once contacted, selectees will have 10 business 

days to forward any missing documents to the MCRC point of contact 

(POC) email in paragraph 15.  It is recommended to use DoD SAFE for 

missing or required documents as it accepts multiple and larger 

files and provides pickup information provided the sender checks the 

box "Send me an email when each recipient picks up the files".  The 

sender should also check their DoD SAFE outbox for file delivery and 

pickup information.  Provide the passphrase to open your DOD Safe 

file in a separate email NOT DOD Safe.  Failure to provide the

missing documents in the allotted timeframe will result in 

disenrollment from the selected program and reapplication to a 

future board will be required.  

3.  MECEP selectees are not authorized to take additional classes 

after release of this MARADMIN except if required for admission to 

the school.  MECEP selectees who obtain a bachelor’s degree prior to 

attending a NROTC or affiliated school will be disenrolled and must 

apply to a future ECP board.  

4.  Non-selects.  Marines who were not selected refer to reference 

(a) chapter one.  For more information and career counseling visit 

www.manpower.marines.mil.  Select Divisions, then Manpower 

Management, then Performance Branch, then Records and Performance, 

then scroll down and select Career Counseling, then select Contact 

Us.  Reasons for non-selection cannot be provided by MCRC or the 

career counselors; however, career counselors can evaluate Marines' 

Official Military Personnel Files (OMPF) to help gain insight to 

improve competitiveness for future boards.  Dated endorsements and 

interview board reports must be completed for each board and all 

forms must be dated within one year of board convene date. 

5.  Parent Commands of selected Marines must ensure the following:

     a.  The selectees shall be assigned a Company Grade Officer as 

a mentor within five business days of release of this MARADMIN.  The 

mentors will ensure mentees are aware of and prepared for the 

expectations at OCS, The Basic School (TBS), and life as a Company 

Grade Officer.  Assistance and additional information can be found 

at website www.trngcmd.marines.mil.  Select Units then OCS or TBS. 

     b.  The Marines must notify their primary military occupational 

specialty monitors of their selections and provide the MARADMIN 

number which references their names as selectees.  Marines approved 

to participate in special duty assignments must also notify the 

corresponding SDA monitor and provide the MARADMIN number which 

references their name as selectees.  These Marines will be removed 

from assignment upon notification of the corresponding SDA monitor.   

Marines currently serving on a special duty assignment will continue 

until ordered to OCS.

     c.  The Marine's page 11 entries have been included in the 

Marine's OMPF.

     d.  The Marines have an adjudicated security clearance per 

chapter one of reference (a) or are under the Continuous Evaluation 

Program (CEP) prior to attending OCS.  Marines who do not have an 

adjudicated clearance and are not enrolled in the CEP cannot report 

to OCS.  An updated security clearance letter must be forwarded to 

MCRC POC once the clearance is adjudicated or enrolled in CEP if not 

provided in original application.  The letter can be found on the 

MCRC website at www.mcrc.marines.mil then select Staff Sections, 

then G-3 Operations, then Marine Officer, then Naval and Enlisted 

Programs and scroll over to General Forms.  

     e.  All commands shall ensure their selectees have at least 12 

months until End of Active Service (EAS) as of the date of this 

MARADMIN.  Otherwise, it is the responsibility of the command to 

execute a local extension to cover this timeframe.  No Marine shall 

be issued orders to OCS with fewer than 12 months of Active Duty 

remaining as of the effective date of this MARADMIN.  

6.  POC information.  Marines are directed to send the E-O Select 

POC sheet revised Oct 23 electronically to the MCRC POC within five 

business days of release of this MARADMIN.  The POC sheet can be 

found on the MCRC website referenced in paragraph 5d under General 

Forms.  Marines must submit the Microsoft Word version of POC format.  

An update must be provided if there are changes to the original POC 

sheet.  Marines are directed to provide all information listed on 

the POC sheet.

7.  Selected Active Reserve (AR) Marines.  Must be non-competitively 

augmented to the active component at the time of selection.  To 

accomplish this, the AR select must initiate a Prior Service 

Enlisted Package (PSEP) via a canvassing recruiter to Marine Corps 

Recruiting Command to coordinate the augmentation per reference (d).  

Upon selection, Marines will be contacted via email by the Prior 

Service Enlistment Program Chief for further amplifying guidance on 

the PSEP package submission. Once augmented, Marines are directed to 

provide an updated Basic Individual Record reflecting the component 

change to the MCRC POC. 

8.  Removals, Declinations, and Deferments.  Formal requests must be 

forwarded in standard naval correspondence format with justification, 

via the administrative endorsing chain of command through the General 

Officer level, to CG, MCRC.  The initial request must be forwarded 

with first endorsement as a courtesy to MCRC POC.  Upon receipt of 

all endorsements, the MCRC POC will route the request to CG, MCRC 

for final disposition.  

9.  Medical.  Marines must be determined medically qualified by 

BUMED for ground physicals, NAMI for aviation physicals per 

reference (e), or medically qualified by MCRC Medical Reviewer 

before MCRC will schedule them to attend an OCC.  Both BUMED and 

NAMI require a minimum of 30  days upon receipt to process medical 

documents and make a determination.  Marines who require additional 

medical documents will be contacted by MCRC.  Each additional 

submission of medical information forwarded by the Marine will 

restart the 30-day process for medical determinations at BUMED and 

NAMI.  Commands and Marines are not authorized to contact or forward 

any medical documents directly to BUMED or MCRC Medical Reviewers.  

All updated documentation must be forwarded via DOD Safe to the MCRC 

POC for tracking purposes.  Deferred Marines will be scheduled by 

MCRC POC to an OCC once a medical determination has been made by 

either BUMED or NAMI.  Marines who sustain an injury prior to 

reporting to OCS must immediately contact the MCRC POC and provide 

supporting medical documents to include light duty chit.  Supporting 

documentation must provide the nature of the injury and the expected 

begin and return to full duty date.  Questions pertaining to 

additional medical documents requested by BUMED or NAMI should be 

directed to the MCRC medical reviewers at 667-893-0889/0876 or email 

sarah.delapena@marines.usmc.mil or donald.irwin@marines.usmc.mil.  

Questions pertaining to status of BUMED or NAMI medical 

determinations must be directed to MCRC POC.  

10.  Pre-OCS information.  OCS class dates are tentative and subject 

to change.  Every effort will be made to schedule Marines to the 

first available OCS class once the Marine is medically qualified.  

Official notification will be sent via email notification by MCRC 

POC approximately 45-60 days prior to shipping.  Refer to reference 

(f) for OCC report and graduation dates.  Marines who were not 

initially scheduled may be contacted by the MCRC POC up to two weeks 

prior to an OCC class and afforded the opportunity to attend if 

there are additional allocations.  This MARADMIN modifies reference 

(a) Commander's Intent, pertaining to OCS opportunities.  Marines 

who do not attend the first two assigned OCC classes after selection 

will automatically be disenrolled from the program.       

     a.  Marines are directed to use references (g), (h) and the 

MCRC and OCS website listed in paragraph 5a, for specific 

requirements prior to arriving at OCS.  Scheduled Marines' MHS 

GENESIS profiles must be complete no later than 30 days prior to 

report date.  Refer to reference (g) for required items.   

     b.  Refer to references (f) for 2026 OCC class dates.  Officers 

in Charge and Marines are responsible for ensuring all information 

on the pre-ship checklist is filled out, and it is signed and dated.  

Commands will ensure all Marines are within Marine Corps standards 

and have a first class PFT prior to issuing Defense Travel System 

orders or shipping to OCS.  

     c.  A first class PFT is required for shipping to OCS.   

Pre-ship PFTs must be taken no earlier than 60 days and no later 

than 30 days of scheduled OCC report date when possible. Ensure 

information is annotated in the PFT portion of the checklist.  Refer 

to reference (h) for OCS PFT guidance.  Commands must ensure Marines' 

PFT information meets the requirements of reference (h), prior to 

submission of the checklist.  Marines who do not meet the above 

requirements are not eligible to report to the scheduled OCC, and 

this will count as one attempt.  If this is the second attempt to 

attend OCS, the Marine will be disenrolled from their respective 

programs.  

     d.  All "yes" answers to questions under the Candidate Section 

on the checklist that have not been previously disclosed or waived 

by MCRC prior to selection must include the signed applicable forms 

and signed detailed handwritten statements explaining events, to 

include supporting documents per reference (d).

11.  Funding.  MECEP and ECP Marines, notified of attendance to an 

OCC by MCRC POC, will be provided a funding letter along with 

additional guidance.  Scheduled Marines must forward the funding 

letter to their parent commands for issuance of Temporary Additional 

Duty orders to attend OCS.  Questions concerning funding should be 

directed to the email located in the funding letter or the Marine's 

DTS administrators, not MCRC.  AR Marines must submit an updated 

copy of their basic individual record to verify their component 

change before a funding letter can be provided to them.  

     a. Within 5 business days of receiving OCS notification and 

funding letters, all scheduled Marines are directed to forward their 

intended mode of transportation to OCS on the report date by 

responding via email to the notification email sent by MCRC POC with 

one of the following choices, regardless of the status of their DTS 

or local command orders:

         (1) “Privately owned vehicle (POV), or;

         (2) “Drop off (must annotate OCS or airport)”, or;

         (3) “Air” and provide the pdf copy of tentative flight 

itinerary to and from OCS from the government travel agency (provide 

updated itinerary once approved if changes from original submission).

     b. Upon approval of orders by Training and Education Command 

(TECOM), scheduled Marines are required to provide to the MCRC POC 

no fewer than five business days prior to the report date one of the 

following:

         (1) Marines on non-local funded travel (over 50 miles) must 

provide a copy of approved DTS authorization or DD Form 1610 orders 

with the TECOM line of accounting in accounting classification, or;

         (2) Marines on local non-funded travel (50 miles or less) 

must provide command endorsed orders.

     c. All information identified in above sub-paragraphs a and b 

must be received by MCRC POC within established deadlines 

established via email notification prior to reporting to OCS.  

Failure to provide the above information once notified can result in 

removal from the scheduled OCS class and possible disenrollment from 

respective programs.

12.  Additional information.

     a.  Marines are considered officer candidates while attending 

OCS and are entitled to pay and allowances commensurate with the 

enlisted grade shown on the original orders to OCS, but not less 

than that prescribed for a sergeant.  Upon completion of training at 

OCS, the original pay and allowances for corporals and below will be 

restored.

     b.  Officer candidates who are dropped from or otherwise do not 

successfully graduate OCS will return to their parent commands or 

directed duty stations.  All drops are conditionally retained in 

their respective programs unless it is the second unsuccessful 

attempt, drop on request, or the Marine is not recommended to return 

to OCS.  MCRC POC will provide official notification of retained 

Marines with next course of action upon receipt of official drop 

package from OCS.  If dropped due to medical, contact your PCM to be 

evaluated for the medical drop reason provided to you by OCS and 

begin documenting the medical process.  Official correspondence will 

provide guidance that is required for resubmission to MCRC to 

forward to BUMED or to be rescheduled for an OCC.  A complete 

physical is not required.  Only medical documentation pertaining to 

the injury or medical condition, from onset to full duty, need to be

 provided.  

     c.  Prior service candidates who are disenrolled by the 

Commanding Officer (CO), OCS for unsatisfactory conduct or because 

of a Drop on Own Request will receive a “not observed” adverse 

report in accordance with Marine Corps Order 1610.7B Chapter 5, 

paragraph 3. d. (6), “Comments pertaining to the Marine Reported On 

(MRO)’s drop from, or failure at, a school because of the MRO’s 

unwillingness to try, cavalier attitude, or unprofessional conduct 

or ability to meet required standards are adverse”.  The CO, OCS, is 

authorized to effect involuntary disenrollment for cause during any 

phase of the training.

13.  Post OCS graduation.  

     a.  After graduation from OCS, Marines will report back to 

their parent commands or directed duty stations.  All claims for 

travel reimbursements must be completed within five business days 

upon return to parent commands or directed duty stations.  ECP, RECP, 

and MCP-R will receive their orders for TBS prior to departing OCS 

to execute from their parent commands or directed duty stations.  

     b.  Upon verification of graduation from OCS, receipt of NROTC 

school acceptance letter and the NROTC Unit acceptance letter, as 

outlined in reference (d), MCRC will request Manpower Management 

Enlisted Assignments (MMEA) issue Permanent Change of Station (PCS) 

or Permanent Change of Assignment (PCA) orders for MECEPs.  Marines 

must submit order requests 90 days in advance of the requested 

report date for PCS orders and 30 days in advance of the report date 

for PCA orders.  Additionally, the 72-month obligated time must be 

approved before orders will be funded.  

     c.  Due to student seat availability at the NROTC Units, MECEP 

Marines must apply to three separate NROTC or affiliated schools.  

NROTC and affiliated schools can be found at www.netc.navy.mil 

scroll down then select NROTC Schools.  

     d.  Upon submission of both letters, MECEP Marines will receive 

PCS or PCA orders to the NROTC or affiliated school as directed.  

Orders cannot be issued by MMEA if both acceptance letters are not 

received by MCRC.  A hard copy acceptance letter or official 

acceptance email from a school will suffice. Ensure the acceptance 

letters from both the NROTC unit and the school contain the same 

authorized semester start time frame. 

     e.  MECEPs are not authorized to initiate any PCS or PCA moves 

prior to being issued orders.  

     f.  MECEPs refer to references (a) and (i) for obligated 

service and pertinent information and ensure the Special Officer 

Program RELM type is used.  Questions pertaining to 

re-enlistments/extensions per reference (i) should be directed to 

MMEA-1 at (703) 432-9019.  Enlistment/Reenlistment must be approved 

prior to executing PCS/PCA orders.  MECEPs whose 

enlistment/reenlistments have not been approved and have a limited 

timeline to execute orders (less than 2 weeks to report date) may 

contact MCRC POC for assistance.  

     g.  MECEPs are directed to contact the Marine Officer 

Instructor or Assistant Marine Officer Instructor at their 

prospective NROTC or affiliated school for introductions and other 

pertinent information.      

     h.  MECEPs are not authorized to attend any school not listed 

under NROTC schools or that annotate Registered Nurse (RN) option 

only or Navy option only on the above website.  

     i.  MECEPs are not authorized to attend graduate schools until 

after completion of TBS.   

     j.  MECEPs are not authorized PCS moves from their original 

NROTC or affiliated school without prior approval from MCRC.  

     k.  Failure to provide both the NROTC or affiliated school and 

NROTC Unit acceptance letters within one year of OCS graduation, 

will result in disenrollment from the program.  

     l.  MECEP Marines who successfully graduate OCS must provide 

the documents listed on the MECEP Inbound Checklist to their 

assigned NROTC or affiliated school upon reporting.  The MECEP 

Inbound Checklist can be found on the MCRC website listed in 

paragraph 5d under General Forms.  

     m.  MECEP Marines must maintain a first class PFT and CFT for 

the entirety of their time in the program.

14.  Post TBS information.  The Commandant's Education Board, which 

selects Marine Officers to attend graduate schools between the 

grades of first lieutenant and major, requires Marines to have 

qualifying calculus and science classes for selection to certain 

Postgraduate School, Air Force Institute of Technology, and Defense 

Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) programs (e.g. Naval 

Fellowships).  For this reason, MECEP students are highly encouraged 

to pursue degrees within Science, Technology, Engineering, and 

Mathematics (STEM) curriculums to qualify for these graduate 

education and fellowship opportunities.  Marines who pursue non-STEM 

degrees are likewise encouraged to take calculus I and II and 

calculus-based science classes to qualify for selection to these 

programs in the future.  Refer to reference (k) for more information.
