Select 'top requests' then 'Enlisted Career Counselors'.

Marines and/or Commands who would like to receive a copy of the board statistics must send a request via email to the MCRC point of contact (POC) in paragraph 15. 3. Parent Commands of selected Marines must ensure the following: a. All of the Marine's page 11 entries have been included in the Marine's OMPF. b. The Marines have an adjudicated security clearance or are under the Continuous Evaluation Program prior to attending OCS. Marines who do not have an adjudicated clearance cannot report to OCS until the clearance has been adjudicated as directed per chapter one of ref (a). An updated security clearance letter must be forwarded once the clearance is adjudicated. c. The Marines notify their primary military occupational specialty monitors of their selections and provide the MARADMIN number which references their names as selectees. d. That the Marine's current Enlisted Active Service date exceeds the first two OCC graduation dates in ref (e). e. The selectees are assigned a Company Grade Officer as a mentor within one week of release of this MARADMIN. The mentors will ensure they 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". f. MECEP Marines who successfully graduate OCS must provide the documents listed on the MECEP Inbound Checklist to their assigned NROTC school upon reporting. The MECEP Inbound Checklist can be found on the MCRC website at www.mcrc.marines.mil. Select "Marine Officer", then "Officer Naval/Enlisted Applicants".

An update must be provided if there are any changes to the original POC sheet to include personnel changes. Marines are directed to provide all information listed on the POC sheet. 5. 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 to Manpower Enlisted Assignments (MMEA-1) via their Career Planners to coordinate the augmentation per ref (d). 6. Commands and Marines. Refer to ref (a) chapter one for information pertaining to status change or removal recommendations. Formal requests for declinations, removal from the programs, or OCS final attempts 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. Marines are directed to forward a courtesy copy of the initial requests with parent command endorsement, electronically, to MCRC POC in paragraph 15 pending receipt of all endorsements. Deployment and command staffing are not justifications for OCS deferment. Marines are expected to attend an OCC immediately upon notification of medical qualifications by MCRC POC. 7. Medical. Marines must be determined medically qualified by BUMED for ground physicals or NAMI for aviation physicals per ref (f), before MCRC can schedule them to attend an OCC. Both BUMED and NAMI require a minimum of 30 days to process medical documents effective upon the release of this MARADMIN, to make a determination. Marines who require additional medical documents will be contacted by the MCRC POC. Each additional submission of medical information forwarded by the Marine, will restart the 30 day process for medical determinations. Commands and Marines are not authorized to contact or forward any medical documents directly to BUMED. All selected and deferred Marines will be notified by the MCRC POC once a medical determination of physical qualification or physical disqualification has been made by either BUMED or NAMI. Marines who sustain an injury prior to reporting to OCS must immediately contact the MCRC POC in paragraph 15 and provide supporting medical documents. Questions only pertaining to the requirements for additional medical documents as requested by BUMED or NAMI should be directed to the MCRC medical reviewers at (703) 784-9426 or email kossi.nyatso@marines.usmc.mil or wendell.tabios@marines.usmc.mil.

This supersedes ref (a), Commander's Intent, pertaining to OCS opportunities. a. Ref (g) provides current guidance pertaining to COVID-19. Due to a typographical error, all FROST Call numbers contained in ref (g) should read 20 vice 19. Additionally, ref (e) of this MARADMIN updates enclosure (5) in ref (g).

MCRC POC will provide official notification of drop reason with next course of action upon receipt of official drop package from OCS. Do not contact MCRC until after receipt of official correspondence. If dropped due to medical, contact your Primary Care Manager 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. A complete physical is not required. Only medical documentation pertaining to the injury, from onset to full duty, need to be provided for a BUMED determination. c. Officer candidates are required to participate in training for a minimum period of four weeks, before any voluntary request for disenrollment will be considered. The Commanding Officer (CO), OCS, is authorized to effect involuntary disenrollment for cause during any phase of the training.

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 days upon return to parent commands or directed duty stations.

Upon verification of graduation from OCS and receipt of a NROTC-affiliated school acceptance letter with directed semester start outlined in ref (d), the MCRC POC will request via Manpower Enlisted Assignments (MMEA) Permanent Change of Station (PCS) or Permanent Change of Assignment (PCA) orders for MECEPs. Marines who receive acceptance letters close to the end of the fiscal year or in the event of a government shutdown may experience a delay in orders due to funding restrictions. Upon submission of a school acceptance letter, MECEPs will receive PCS or PCA orders to the NROTC-affiliated schools as directed. Orders will not be requested if the timeframe from receipt of acceptance letter to MCRC and the NROTC-affiliated school no later than date provided at OCS by MCRC POC is not a least 60 days, or if the acceptance letter is not signed by the admission office. Formal requests to attend school outside of directed semester starts per ref (d) are not authorized except for PCA moves or extenuating medical circumstances. Supporting medical documentation must be submitted for review and approval. MECEPs are not authorized to initiate any PCS or PCA moves prior to being issued orders. MECEPs refer to refs (a), (i), and (j) for obligated service and pertinent information.
