GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  The purpose of this MARADMIN is to publish a list of Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) Professor of Naval Science (PNS), Executive Officer, and Marine Officer Instructor (MOI) billet vacancies for FY20.
2.  NROTC units are an essential component in the training of prospective Naval and Marine Officers.  Duty at NROTC units offers the opportunity to mentor, lead, and shape future officers.  Officers desiring to serve in this capacity must be high caliber role models who possess strong academic and physical fitness skills.  MOI duty regularly includes summer augmentation to OCS or CORTRAMID.  Selections and assignments to NROTC/MOI duty will be made by a panel on or about 20 September 2019.
3.  Eligibility.  NROTC positions are 8006 (any unrestricted officer) billets and are open to all unrestricted military occupational specialties.  Officers must meet the following eligibility criteria to be considered:
3.a.  Grade Eligibility.  Different billets and universities require grades from captain to colonel.  Paragraph 5 lists available billets with the required grade and special requirements.
3.b.  Time on Station Requirements.  As listed in the reference, officers who complete their prescribed tour lengths during FY20 will be eligible.
3.c.  Time on Station Waivers.  Officers may request in writing via AA form to be screened if they have not completed their prescribed tour length by FY20.  Such requests must be endorsed by the first colonel in the chain of command.  Commands should be aware that if an officer is allowed to depart his or her tour early, the billet may be gapped until the officer would have normally departed the unit unless inventory supports an early backfill.
3.d.  Academics.  Minimum requirement is a Bachelors Degree with a 3.0 undergraduate grade point average, waiverable at some schools to 2.5 if the record is otherwise outstanding.  If a billet requires a Masters Degree, it will be listed under special requirements in paragraph 5.
3.e.  Physical Fitness.  High first class PFT recommended.
4.  Officers interested in NROTC duty who meet the above eligibility criteria must submit the documents listed below as part of their package to MMOA-3 no later than 12 September 2019 to the below address:  Email Address:  smbmanpowerofficerpr@usmc.mil.  If unable to submit electronically, packages may be mailed to the below address:  Mailing address:  Commandant of the Marine Corps (MMOA-3)

4.b.2.  Official College Transcripts.  Official college transcripts are to be sent directly from the university or officer to MMRP-20 to be included in the officers OMPF.  If legible college transcripts are already included in the officers OMPF, a duplicate submission is not required.
4.c.  Every effort will be made to match selected officers with their preferences.  However, by volunteering for NROTC duty, officers agree to be assigned to any available NROTC billet.  All requests to decline selection after the release of the selection MARADMIN must be made via naval correspondence with command endorsement.  All requests will be considered in the context of the needs of the Marine Corps for approval or disapproval.  Requests for declination by officers who volunteered and were selected for NROTC duty will not normally receive favorable consideration.  There is no deferral of NROTC/MOI selection.
