More Information
In an effort to keep faith with Marines, the Marine Corps is providing those who need it a few more weeks or months of service so they can fully take advantage of any DoD transition programs/resources that may be temporarily closed or not functioning at full capacity due to COVID-19 mitigation efforts. These extensions will allow Marines who may need additional time to complete their transition requirements (e.g. final medical appointments, transition assistance programs, etc.) or to safely execute separation and retirement plans.
