b.  For example:  A Marine Sergeant with a PMOS of 6336 with an end of current contract (ECC) of May 2020 applies for reenlistment.  This Marine is currently stationed at MCC 1TL with 32 months time on station and holds the NMOS of 6012.  The Marine’s reenlistment package includes the required QCL snapshot proving their active qualification per reference (B).  This Marine is eligible for the Aircraft Maintenance Kicker if the Marine accepts orders to a unit listed in section 3.a.2.a of reference (A) to be executed after completing 4 additional months at MCC 1TL.
5.  Coordinating Instructions.  The FY20 SRB program statement of understanding (SOU) is available for download from the total force retention system (TFRS) and the enlisted retention manpower page.
6.  If SRB funds are obligated faster than currently planned or a change in retention requirements is necessary, HQMC will suspend or terminate the FY20 SRB program as needed prior to 30 Sep 2020.
