GENTEXT/RMKS/1.  ALL MARINES SCREENED FOR ASSIGNMENT TO DRILL INSTRUCTOR, COMBAT INSTRUCTOR, AND RECRUITING DUTY WILL BE SCREENED PER REF B AND C. EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, ALL NEW SCREENINGS SHOULD UTILIZE REF B AND C ONLY.

FTER 28 FEB 2015, THE FORMER SDA CHECKLIST WILL NO LONGER BE ACCEPTED BY MMEA OR SDA SCHOOLS.
