2.  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 via a canvassing recruiter to MCRC to coordinate the 

augmentation per ref (c).  Once augmented, Marines are directed to 

provide an updated Basic Individual Record reflecting the component 

change to the MCRC POC. 

3.  Selectees who desire to decline appointment in the primary MOS 

in which selected, shall submit A Declination of Appointment via 

their chain of command to the Commanding General, Marine Corps 

Recruiting Command (CG MCRC). As a courtesy, please notify the POC 

via email of your intention to decline.

4.  Per reference (d), selectees are no longer authorized to defer 

their attendance to the Warrant Officer Basic Course (WOBC). 

Therefore, selectees are expected to either attend the FY27 WOBC or 

decline the appointment to WO.

5.  Commanding officers shall ensure the selectee meets the 

appointment requirements set forth in reference (a).  Marines will 

not report to WOBC if they are currently under investigation, have 

any pending legal action them, or if they have failed to run a first 

class PFT within 90 days of the convene date of WOBC per reference 

(a).  Both of these requirements will be captured on the Screening 

Checklist sent out by the WOBC Executive Officer in the Welcome 

Aboard email.  Marines who are not fully medically ready will be 

dropped during medical in-processing when identified by The Basic 

School medical staff.  If a selectee fails to meet those 

requirements, the commanding officer will initiate a delay in 

accordance with reference (a) and the appointment will not be 

effected.

6.  WO selectees are slated to be appointed on 19 April 2027 at a 

ceremony aboard Marine Corps Base, Quantico.  WO selectees will 

attend the WOBC.  The mission of the WOBC is to train and educate 

aspiring warrant officers in the high standards of professional 

knowledge, esprit de corps, and leadership required to transition 

from enlisted Marines to officers, with particular emphasis on the 

duties, responsibilities and professional abilities required to 

serve as a platoon commander in a support role.  By separate 

orders, selectees will be ordered by the CMC Manpower Management 

(MM) to report to the Commanding Officer, The Basic School (TBS) to 

attend the WOBC that is scheduled to convene on 19 January 2027.  

Selectees must report no earlier than 0800 on 18 January 2027, and 

no later than 2359 on 18 January 2027. References (d) and (e) 

define the differences in duty under instructions, temporary 

additional duty (TAD), temporary duty under instructions (TEMINS), 

and reassignment orders in relation to per diem and other allowances.  

It is requested that as many selectees as possible be sent TAD to 

TBS.  This reduces the administrative hardship on TBS as well as on 

the selectees.  It is requested that any selectee with more than 30 

days between WOBC graduation and follow-on school be sent TAD to TBS.  

The report date to the WOBC was modified in order to effectively 

screen selectees and ensure they meet the standards outlined in 

reference (a) prior to appointment.

7.  Orders Process

     a. Although the majority of students will be attending WOBC 

via TAD orders from their command, the individual monitors will 

determine if an individual executes TEMINS orders or TAD orders to 

WOBC.

        1) Marines with no dependents (CONUS and OCONUS) will 

be issued TEMINS orders.

        2) Marines with dependents (CONUS and OCONUS) or single 

Marines who were previously authorized to reside off-base will be 

issued TAD orders via DTS and a funding letter will be provided in 

Marine Corps Training Information Management System (MCTIMS) by 

TECOM.  Marines attending WOBC in a TAD status should ensure proper 

administrative and legal documents are completed prior to departing 

to WOBC (e.g. Power of Attorney).

     b. The point of contact for TAD orders is your local 

administrative office or consolidated admin center.  The point of 

contact for all other order types is the respective monitor at 

Manpower Management Officer Assignments (MMOA).

     c. All commanders issuing orders for Marines to attend WOBC 

will ensure a DD Form 214 is created via the Document Tracking and 

Management System (DTMS) in Marine Online (MOL).  The DD Form 214 

will cover all active duty enlisted service through 18 April 2027.  

Ensure strict compliance with reference (g).  Although the hard copy 

DD Form 214 may be signed and copies 1 and 4 issued to the Marine 

prior to executing orders to TBS, the DD Form 214 should not be 

certified, published, and distributed via DTMS until the unit has 

confirmed the individuals' appointment/commission via the Marine 

Corps Total Force System (MCTFS).  Upon appointment/commission 

confirmation, the DD Form 214 may be certified, published and 

distributed per the current edition of reference (g).

     d. If a selectee is found unqualified or is otherwise not 

appointed for any reason after executing orders to TBS, the DD Form 

214 previously generated via DTMS shall be deleted and any hard 

copy DD Form 214 issued to the Marine shall be shredded, as 

appropriate.  The following blocks/items will be standard on each 

2026 enlisted to warrant officer DD Form 214:  12B. 20270418 ; 

 15A-C. No ;  16. None ;  20-20A. No ;  23. Discharged ;  24. 

Honorable ;  25. MARCORSEPMAN 6404.1 ;  26. KGM1 ;  27. N/A ;  28. 

Accept commission or warrant in same branch of service .  All other 

provisions of ref (g) for this occasion shall apply to all other 

sections of the DD Form 214.  

8.  Administration

    a.  Check-in procedures and initial information for WOBC will be 

sent via The Welcome Aboard Email to selectees at a later date.  

Additionally, check-in information and documents will be posted on 

the WOBC 1-27 MarineNet Moodle Page.  

TBS will add all selected Marines to the MarineNet Moodle Page 

no later than (NLT) four weeks prior to course pickup.  The 

package will contain important information concerning the upcoming 

WOBC, including check-in procedures and amplifying comments for this 

message.  The TBS point of contact will be the WOBC 1-27 Executive 

Officer who will reach out to selectees NLT four weeks prior to 

course pickup.     

    b.  Selectees must report to TBS with original orders, Defense 

Travel System travel authorizations, completed DD Form 214 in 

accordance with the information in the paragraph above, and complete 

health and dental records.  The Appointment Acceptance (NAVMC 763) 

and Identification Card will be completed/issued at WOBC.  Uniform 

for selectees reporting to the WOBC will be communicated via The 

Welcome Aboard Email.  Selectees should either purchase their officer 

Service Alpha uniform or be prepared to have their uniforms tailored 

prior to the appointment ceremony.     

9.  Training Requirement

    a.  Selectees are encouraged to arrive in peak physical 

condition due to the rigors of the course.  Selectees must achieve a 

first class physical fitness test (PFT) prior to appointment as 

outlined in reference (a) and maintain Marine Corps Body Composition 

and Military Appearance standards per reference (j).  Those who are 

not within standards or do not score a first class PFT after two 

attempts will be dropped from the course prior.  If a Marine is 

dropped from training, the CO TBS will make a recommendation to DC, 

M&RA whether to allow the Marine to return to the following year's 

WOBC, or disenroll them from the Warrant Officer Program.  There will 

be extended field time at the WOBC.  Selectees are highly encouraged 

to practice running the obstacle course with an emphasis on rope 

climbing.  Hiking under load and running in boots and utilities are 

also highly recommended.  Passing a conditioning hike under 

prescribed load, a standard Marine Corps Obstacle Course, and the TBS 

Endurance Course are required to graduate from WOBC.  

    b.  Selectees with less than 13 years of service are encouraged 

to be current rifle and pistol qualified prior to attending WOBC 

1-27 as the number of range seats available at their first duty 

station as an officer will be limited, if available at all. 

    c.  Selectees are required to read and review the following 

publications prior to check in:

        1.  MCDP 1

        2.  MCDP 1-3

        3.  MCDP 6

        4.  MCWP 6-10

        5.  The Armed Forces Officer (2017 edition)

    d.  Once selectees have been in-processed, there will be an 

appointment ceremony on 19 April 2027.  Further details will be 

made available on the TBS website and through follow-on 

correspondence with India Company staff. 

    e.  All required training must be completed within 36 months of 

appointment in order to be considered and selected for promotion to 

Chief Warrant Officer 2.  If all training is not completed within 36 

months of appointment, the appointment will be terminated.

10.  Commanding officers are required to document, by page 11 entry, 

a permanent WO selectee's acknowledgement of the probationary 

status of his or her appointment.  Active component WO selectees 

will receive the following entry:  "I understand that the first 

three years as a permanent warrant officer is a probationary period,

and that the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) may terminate the 

appointment of any warrant officer who fails to complete the WOBC,

or any required MOS follow-on school.  A Marine whose appointment 

is terminated, may, upon his or her request and at the discretion of

SECNAV, be enlisted in a grade not lower than that held immediately 

prior to appointment."  Marines selected for the warrant officer 

program will incur a 3-year obligation from the date of appointment.

11.  Physical Qualifications                  

     a.  Selectees who do not meet the qualifications established in 

references (a), (i), (j), and (k) will not be appointed.        

     b.  Immediately upon release of this message, all 

selectees are required to provide (via email) their point of contact 

information to include work and personal telephone numbers as well 

as work and personal email addresses to the point of contact at MCRC, 

Mr. Brent Reidenbach, at brent.reidenbach@marines.usmc.mil.

     c.  Per reference (k), prior to appointment, selectees must 

be determined physically qualified for appointment by the Bureau Of 

Medicine and Surgery and must pass with a first class PFT as 

outlined in reference (a).  Failure to comply with requirements may 

delay receipt of the appointment documents at TBS, and may 

subsequently result in a forfeiture of the date of rank.  Commanding 

officers of deployed Marines can contact Marine Corps Recruiting 

Command, Officer, Naval-Enlisted to establish arrangements to 

complete this task, if needed.  If not completed already, selectees 

must submit a current commissioning physical examination, to include 

a Report of Medical Examination (DD Form 2808), a Report of Medical 

History (DD Form 2807-1), and an Annual Certification if applicable.  

The date of the physical exam must not be older than 19 April 2025.  

If the physical examination was completed prior to 19 April 2026, 

then copies of the current and previous years preventative health 

assessment (PHA) is required in addition to the physical examination.           

     d.  Local medical personnel and the selectee must closely 

review a selectee's medical and dental records to ensure accuracy 

and completeness prior to their arrival at TBS.  Selectees should 

arrive at TBS fully medically ready to train at the time of check 

in with no outstanding medical issues that would preclude training.  

Pay particular attention to the following items: 

         (1) Marks and scars must be listed.    

         (2) Selectees must be dental class type 1 or 2, documented 

on the DD Form 2808 in block 43, and have block 83.a signed by a

examination.      

         (3) HIV results must be within 24 months of check-in and 

include date tested and roster number.                                       

         (4) Distance vision must be documented in block 61 of the 

DD Form 2808.  If vision does not correct to 20/20, a current 

manifest refraction and ophthalmology evaluation is required.  WO 

selectees with a history of vision correction surgery must have all 

pre-operative and post-operative reports included with the medical 

documents.  

         (5) The results of an updated audiogram must be included 

in DD Form 2808 block 71.a. or as a separate enclosure.  If any 

result is outside the normal range, per reference (j), section 38, 

submit an Ear, Nose, Throat (ENT) or Audiology 

consultation/evaluation and interpretation.    

         (6) Female selectees, over the age of 21, must have a 

current Papanicolaou (PAP) test within the past 36 months.  The 

pathology report from the most recent test must be submitted.

         (7) Ensure all "yes" answers on DD Form 2807-1 are 

explained by the physician in block 29. All pertinent medical 

clearance documents for each condition disclosed in the DD Form 2807 

should be provided. 

         (8) Ensure all answers on DD Form 2808 blocks 17-42 

(excluding block 41 for males) are marked normal or abnormal. "NE" 

is not an acceptable answer.
