2. Non-selects. Marines who were not selected refer to ref (a) chapter one. For more information and career counseling, call DSN 278-9241 or commercial (703) 784-9241 or 1-(800)-833-2320 or visit their website at www.manpower.usmc.mil. Select top requests then Enlisted Career Counselors. Reasons for non-selection cannot be provided by MCRC or the career counselors; however, career counselors can evaluate Marines' Official Military Personnel Files (OMPF) to help gain insight on improving their competitiveness. Marines and/or Commands who would like to receive a copy of board statistics must send an email request to the MCRC point of contact (POC) in paragraph 16.
3. Parent Commands of selected Marines must ensure any page 11 submitted with the Marines' applications are run in their OMPFs. Commands must also ensure all selected Marines have an adjudicated security clearance prior to attending OCS per ref (a) chapter one.
4. To ensure the Marines are prepared for this next chapter in their careers, Commands will assign a Company Grade Officer within their commands as a mentor within one week of release of this MARADMIN. This Marine Officer should assist with a physical training regimen that will prepare the selected Marines for the rigorous demands of OCS. Additionally, the Marine Officers will mentor the selected Marines to ensure they are aware of and prepared for the expectations at OCS, The Basic School (TBS), and life as Company Grade Officers. Assistance and additional information can be found at website www.trngcmd.marines.mil. Select "Units", then "OCS" or "TBS". The OCS Physical Training Preparation Pack is listed at www.trngcmd.marines.mil. Select "Units" then "OCS". Review candidate information. Further links for academic preparation and overall OCS curriculums are also on the OCS web page.
5. POC information. Marines are directed to send their current POC information electronically to both the MCRC POC listed in paragraph 16 and the OCS POC listed in paragraph 17, within one week from release of this MARADMIN. Email subject line must read “last name (Program) Select POC information.” Marines are directed to use the Enlisted to Officer select POC information sample on the MCRC website at www.mcrc.marines.mil. Select "Marine Officer", then "Officer Naval/Enlisted Applicants". The E-O select POC information sample is located under "General Forms". Marines must submit the Microsoft Word version of POC format without signatures. An update must be provided if there are any changes to the original POC sheet. Marines are directed to provide POC information for each level of their administrative endorsing chain of command as directed on the POC sheet. Marines are also directed to notify their primary military occupational specialty monitor of their selections and provide the MARADMIN number that references their names as selectees.
6. Selected Active Reserve (AR) Marines must be non-competitively augmented to the active component at the time of selection. To accomplish this, the AR select must initiate a Prior Service Enlisted Package to Manpower Enlisted Assignments (MMEA-1) via their Career Planners to coordinate the augmentation per ref (e).
7. Commands and Marines. Refer to ref (a) chapter one for information pertaining to status change or removal recommendations. Formal requests for OCS deferments, declinations, or removal from the program must be forwarded in standard naval correspondence format with justification, via the Marines' administrative endorsing chain of command through the General Officer level, to CG, MCRC. Marines are directed to forward a courtesy copy of the initial requests with parent command endorsement, electronically, to MCRC POC in paragraph 16 pending receipt of all endorsements. With the exception of a medical situation, all selectees are required to attend OCS within one year of selections. If selectees are not scheduled for OCS within one year, the selectees will be disenrolled from their respective programs. Deployment and command staffing are not justification for OCS deferment. Marines are expected to attend OCS immediately upon notification of medical qualifications.
8. Medical. Marines must be determined medically qualified by BUMED for ground physicals or NAMI for aviation physicals per ref (f), before MCRC will schedule them to attend OCS. BUMED and NAMI are the authorizing authorities for determining Marines medically qualified to attend OCS. Both BUMED and NAMI require a minimum of 30 days to process medical documents effective upon the release of the selection MARADMIN, to make a determination. Marines requiring additional medical documents will be contacted by the MCRC POC. Any additional medical information submitted by the Marines will restart the 30 day process for medical determinations. Commands and Marines are not authorized to contact or forward any medical documents directly to BUMED. OCS class dates are tentative and subject to change. Marines are not guaranteed to attend the OCS class that aligns with the board they were selected on. Marines who are not contacted two weeks prior to a scheduled OCC class, will be automatically deferred to the next available OCS class once determined medically qualified. Refer to ref (a), Commander's Intent, pertaining to OCS opportunities. All selected and deferred Marines will be notified by the MCRC POC once a medical determination of physical qualification or physical disqualification has been made by either BUMED or NAMI. Marines that sustain an injury prior to reporting to OCS, must immediately contact the MCRC POC in paragraph 16 and provide supporting medical documents to injury sustained. Questions only pertaining to the requirements for additional medical documents as requested by BUMED or NAMI should be directed to the MCRC medical reviewers at (703) 784-9426.

Additional medical documents requested must be forwarded directly to the MCRC POC in paragraph 16.
