GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  Recruiting continues to be one of the most demanding missions the Marine Corps faces.  Despite the challenges, the Marine Corps' continued success is a testament to the high quality of Marines assigned to recruiting duty.  The opportunity to lead these remarkable Marines is provided to officers who have demonstrated great leadership potential.  Selection as a Recruiting Station Commanding Officer (RSCO) is a unique distinction with tremendous opportunity to shape the future of the Marine Corps.
2.  The FY22 Recruiting Station Commanding Officer Selection Board will convene on or about 2 August 2021 aboard MCB Quantico, VA to select officers for recruiting stations available during 2022.
3.  The board will select those officers deemed best and most fully qualified from a list of eligible majors and majors (select).  The board will select as primaries a number equal to the number of available recruiting stations and a sufficient number of alternates to meet requirements when primary selects cannot take command.  CMC (MMOA) will release the results via MARADMIN.
4.  Board composition.  The RSCO board will be composed of three general officers with ten colonels to ensure a broad professional perspective among the board membership.
