2.  In the event the selectee chooses not to accept the appointment, the selectee must submit a letter of declination via their chain of command, to include a general officer level endorsement, to MCRC ON-E prior to appointment.  If the commander intends to delay or remove a selected Marines appointment, reference (A) provides specific guidance.
3.  Commanding officers will notify those applicants whose names are not listed in paragraph 1 of their non-selection.  Reasons for non-selection are not divulged by selection board members.
4.  WO selectees are slated to be appointed on 1 Feb 2018 at a ceremony aboard Marine Corps Base Quantico.  WO selectees will attend the active duty Warrant Officer Basic Course (WOBC).  The mission of WOBC is to train and educate newly appointed or commissioned warrant officers in the high standards of professional knowledge, esprit-de-corps, and leadership required to transition from enlisted Marine to officer with particular emphasis on the duties, responsibilities and warfighting skills required of a provisional rifle platoon commander.  By separate orders from the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) (MM), selectees will be ordered to report to the Commanding General, Marine Corps Combat Development Command (MCCDC) The Basic School (TBS) to attend the WOBC which is scheduled to convene on 22 Jan 2018.  Selectees must report no earlier than 1200 on 21 Jan 2018, and no later than 1700 on 22 Jan 2018.  References (D) and (E) define the differences in duty under instructions, temporary additional duty (TAD), temporary duty under instructions (TEMINS), and reassignment orders in relation to per diem and other allowances.  It is requested that as many selectees as possible be sent TAD to TBS.  This reduces the administrative hardship on TBS as well as the selectee.  It is requested that any selectee with more than 30 days between WOBC graduation and follow-on school be sent TAD to TBS.  The report date to the WOBC was modified in order to effectively screen selectees and ensure they meet appointment and training standards per reference (A) prior to appointment.
5.  Per reference (F) Marines who are currently stationed outside CONUS (OCONUS) and will be attending WOBC under TEMINS orders and elect to leave their families at their current OCONUS duty station are directed to complete:  1) Appropriate continuing logistical support documentation; 2) Appropriate Power of Attorney forms for their spouse, as they will not be returning to the OCONUS location; and 3) A family care plan that will cover any contingencies that might arise while attending WOBC.  Additionally, Marines in this situation should request a delay in family member travel via their chain of command to HQMC (MMIB) in order to continue to receive overseas allowances (i.e. overseas housing allowance (OHA), OCONUS cost of living adjustment (COLA), etc.) while attending WOBC.  Without this authority, OCONUS COLA and OHA will terminate and BAH entitlement while attending WOBC will be BAH-transit until reporting to the new permanent duty station.  The point of contact is GySgt Cervantes at eduardo.cervantes1@usmc.mil or DSN 278-9236 or commercial (703) 784-9236.  Commanding officers/Inspectors-Instructors issuing permanent change of station (PCS), TEMINS, TAD, and Marine Reserve Orders Writing System orders for Marines to attend WOBC will issue DD Forms 214 prior to the Marine executing orders to TBS.  DD Forms 214 will cover all active-duty enlisted service through 31 Jan 2018.  Ensure strict compliance with ref (G).  Although hard copy DD Forms 214 may be signed and issued to the Marine prior to executing orders to TBS, do not certify/publish the Marine Online (MOL)/Document Tracking and Management System (DTMS) and DD Form 214 until confirmation of the individuals appointment in the Marine Corps Total Force System.  Upon appointment, the MOL/DTMS and DD Form 214 may be certified/published, and mandatory distribution of signed hard copies 2 (Official Military Personnel File) shall be made.  If the selectee is found unqualified or is otherwise not appointed for any reason after executing orders to TBS, DTMS and DD Form 214 documents previously generated shall be deleted/killed, and hard copy DD Forms 214 shall be shredded, as appropriate.  The following blocks/items shall be standard on all 2018 WOBC DD Forms 214:  "8B.  MCB Quantico VA RUC 46252" “12B. 20180131”.  “15A-C.  No”.  “16.  None”.  “20-20A.  No”.  “23.  Discharged”.  “24.  Honorable”.  “25.  MARCORSEPMAN 6404.1”.  “26.  KGM1”.  “27.  N/A”.  “28.  Accept commission or warrant in same branch of service”.  All other provisions of ref (G) for this occasion should apply to all other sections of the DD Form 214.
