GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  Purpose.  To solicit qualified Marines to laterally move to the Primary MOS 5821, Criminal Investigator (CID Agent).  Marines who meet the prerequisites and requirements in para 4 are encouraged to apply as the demand for qualified Marines within this MOS will remain high for the foreseeable future.

5.  Application and Screening Process.  Marines will start the process by contacting their local CID office who will determine a Marine’s initial suitability for assignment as a criminal investigator by a screening board headed by the Criminal Investigation Officer or Chief Criminal Investigator of the Provost Marshal’s Office.  If found initially suitable, the CID office will conduct a law enforcement employment background investigation on the Marine to determine their suitability to perform law enforcement duties.  Completed law enforcement employment background investigations are then forwarded by the local CID office for review and approval by CMC, Law Enforcement and Corrections Branch (PSL).  Those Marines who are determined eligible will receive an acceptance letter from the Head of CID, PSL which will be submitted with their lateral move package to the Career Planner.  Marines approved for lateral move will execute permanent change of station or permanent change of assignment orders to a CID office or Law Enforcement Battalion where they will begin an extensive Apprentice Agent Training Program (AATP) under the direct supervision of a CID Field Training Agent.  During the AATP, Marines will be introduced to the required knowledge, skills, aptitudes required to be a successful CID Agent.  After favorable completion of the AATP, the Marine will attend the 15 ½ week CIDSAC.  Failure to complete either the AATP or CIDSAC will result in MOS reclassification or separation per current MMEA guidelines and applicable Marine Corps orders.
