THE EXTRA MILE" FOR THE CORPS IN THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS.  THE

ACCOMPLISHED IN AN EFFECTIVE, ORDERLY, TIMELY, AND DIGNIFIED MANNER,
REFLECTING THE RESPECT THOSE MARINES DESERVE.
3.  DEFINITIONS
A.  PLANNED SEPARATION DATE.  PLANNED SEPARATION DATE IS DEFINED AS A
MARINE'S ORIGINAL END OF ACTIVE SERVICE (EAS), END OF CURRENT
CONTRACT (ECC), RESERVE END OF CURRENT CONTRACT (RECC) OR ORIGINALLY
PLANNED RESIGNATION DATE.  MARINES WHO ARE PAST THEIR PLANNED
SEPARATION DATE ARE "ON STOP LOSS."

2003 BY REPORTING TTC 122 002.
(B) IF AN SMCR MARINE'S ORIGINAL RECC EXPIRES AFTER 12 AUG 2003, THE

MARINE'S DEACTIVATION DATE BY REPORTING TTC 122 002.  NOTE: MPC AND

DEACTIVATION DATE.
E.  REENLISTMENT/EXTENSION OF RESERVISTS AFFECTED BY STOP LOSS.
RESERVISTS AFFECTED BY STOP LOSS CAN SUBMIT FOR REENLISTMENT OR
EXTENSION.  IOT EFFECT AN APPROVED REENLISTMENT OR EXTENSION, A
MARINE MUST HAVE A RECC IN MCTFS.  OTHERWISE, ANY UNIT DIARY ENTRIES
REPORTED IN MCTFS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A REENLISTMENT OR

PRIOR TO EFFECTING A REENLISTMENT.

G.  IMA TOUR LENGTHS.  THE IMA TOUR LENGTH POLICY BELOW IS INTENDED
TO GIVE IMA OPSPONSORS MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY IN MEETING OPERATIONAL
REQUIREMENTS BASED ON AVAILABLE PERSONNEL, EVOLVING REQUIREMENTS AND
THE IMPACT OF MOBILIZATION.
(1) PREVIOUSLY ESTABLISHED OPSPONSOR IMA PAYCHECK ALLOCATIONS ARE
STILL IN EFFECT.  AN IMA MEMBER'S PERIOD OF MOBILIZATION WILL COUNT
TOWARD THE STANDARD TOUR LENGTH OF THREE YEARS.  THIS SUPERCEDES THE
CUMULATIVE SERVICE CALCULATION GUIDANCE IN PARA 10007.5 OF REF C.
REF C WILL BE REVISED TO REFLECT THIS CHANGE IN THE NEXT ADDITION.
IN REQUESTING TOUR LENGTH EXTENSIONS PER REF C, IMA OPSPONSORS SHOULD
INCLUDE IMA MEMBER'S MOBILIZATION PERIOD AND A BRIEF HISTORY OF
DUTIES PERFORMED DURING ACTIVATION.
(2) IN CASES WHERE A MOBILIZED IMA MEMBER REACHED END OF TOUR (EOT)
LIMITS WHILE MOBILIZED, CG MCRSC MAY GRANT A 4-MONTH EXTENSION UPON
DEACTIVATION.  IF REQUIRED, THIS PERIOD WILL ALLOW THE OPSPONSOR TIME
TO REQUEST AN ADDITIONAL TOUR LENGTH EXTENSION TO CMC (RA) VIA MCRSC
PER REF C.  IF THE OPSPONSOR HAS IDENTIFIED A SUITABLE REPLACEMENT,
THE PREVIOUS INCUMBENT MAY USE THE 4-MONTH PERIOD TO FIND ANOTHER
BILLET IN AN SMCR UNIT OR IMA DET.
(3) AT THE DISCRETION OF THE OPSPONSOR, IMA MEMBERS WHO HAVE NOT
REACHED EOT LENGTHS MAY BE RETAINED FOR THE PERIOD OF THEIR INITIAL
TOUR AND ANY PREVIOUSLY APPROVED CMC EXTENSIONS.
(4) IF AN IMA WAS MOBILIZED TO SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS EXTERNAL TO THE
OPSPONSOR'S T/O AND THE OPSPONSOR SOURCED A REPLACEMENT, CG MCRSC IS
AUTHORIZED TO REJOIN THE IMA MEMBER TO THE ORIGINAL IMA DET FOR A
PERIOD OF 4 MONTHS.  DURING THIS PERIOD, IMA OPSPONSORS SHOULD MAKE
EVERY ATTEMPT TO REHIRE THE MOBILIZED MEMBER TO A VALID IMA
BILLET WITHIN THE IMA DETACHMENT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE
ORIGINAL TOUR.
(5) IMA MEMBERS WHO WERE ADMINISTRATIVELY DROPPED TO THE IRR PRIOR TO
MOBILIZATION MUST REAPPLY FOR OTHER AVAILABLE IMA OR SMCR UNIT
BILLETS.
(6) RESERVISTS CAN SEARCH FOR IMA BILLETS, OTHER RESERVE DUTY
OPPORTUNITIES, AND IDENTIFY THEIR AVAILABILITY FOR DUTY VIA THE
RESERVE DUTY ON-LINE (RDOL) WEBSITE AT WWW.RDOL.MOL.USMC.MIL.
H.  REQUESTS FOR TRANSFER TO THE IRR, INTERSERVICE AND INTERUNIT
TRANSFER.  REF A LIFTED THE RESTRICTIONS ON REQUESTING A TRANSFER.
THIS POLICY CHANGE WAS MEANT ONLY TO APPLY TO NON-MOBILIZED
RESERVISTS.  ACTIVATED RESERVISTS CANNOT REQUEST A TRANSFER UNTIL
THEY ARE DEACTIVATED.
I.  ERRONEOUS STOP LOSS.  NO MARINE WITH A RECC OF 1 SEP 2003 OR
LATER SHOULD HAVE BEEN STOP LOSSED.  IN CASES WHERE MARINES HAVE BEEN
ERRONEOUSLY STOP LOSSED, COMMANDS WILL REESTABLISH THE MARINE'S
ORIGINAL RECC BY REPORTING TTC 122 001.
6.  RETIREMENT OR RESIGNATION DATE.  MARINES WITH A TRANSFER TO FMCR,
RETIREMENT OR RESIGNATION DATE EXTENDED FOR 12 MONTHS AND NOW DESIRE
AN EARLIER DATE MUST REQUEST A NEW EFFECTIVE DATE TO CMC (MMSR-2) FOR
TRANSFER TO FMCR OR RETIREMENTS AND TO CMC (MMSR-3) FOR RESIGNATIONS
VIA MESSAGE OR LETTER.  UNIT DIARY ENTRIES CANNOT BE USED.  REQUESTS
MAY BE FAXED TO 703-784-9834.  CMC (MMSR) WILL MAKE THE APPROPRIATE
UNIT DIARY ENTRY ONCE THE REQUEST IS RECEIVED.
7.  OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS.  THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE APPLICABLE
TO BOTH THE ACTIVE AND RESERVE COMPONENTS.
A.  PROPERLY DOCUMENTING STOP LOSS.  MARINES WHO ARE PAST THEIR
PLANNED SEPARATION DATE DO NOT HAVE CONTRACTUAL PAPERWORK TO PROVIDE

E.  MARINES HAVE THREE OPTIONS IN USING THE LEAVE THEY HAVE EARNED.
FIRST, USE IT PRIOR TO SEPARATION.  SECOND, SELL BACK A MAXIMUM OF 60
DAYS OF LEAVE.  THIRD, COMBINE THESE TWO OPTIONS.  FOR INSTANCE, A
MARINE WITH A POSITIVE LEAVE BALANCE OF 50 DAYS MAY ELECT TO TAKE 30
DAYS AS SEPARATIONS LEAVE AND SELL BACK THE REMAINING 20 DAYS (AS
LONG AS THE MARINE HAS NOT PREVIOUSLY SOLD MORE THAN 40 DAYS).
(2) RESERVE COMPONENT MARINES.  RESERVE MARINES MAY CHOOSE TO SELL
BACK OVER 60 DAYS OF LEAVE.  THIS PROVISION APPLIES EVEN IF THE
RESERVE MARINE HAS SOLD BACK 60 DAYS OF LEAVE EARNED FROM PREVIOUS
ACTIVE DUTY PERIODS OF SERVICE.
C.  REENLISTMENTS
