GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. Per Refs (A) and (B) the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) approved the FY20 Enlisted to Warrant Officer (Recruiter) Selection Board report. The below-named personnel have been selected for appointment to Chief Warrant Officer (CWO2):
Name SMOS MCC RUC
Alderman, Matthew T. 4810 A37 83001
Garber, Kalani D. 4810 967 83001
Gervais, Darnell A. 4810 A95 80001
Hamn, Jeffery H. 4810 JAA 34001
2. In the event the selectees choose to decline the appointment/commission, they 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/commissioning. Commanding officers shall ensure the selectees meet the appointment/commissioning requirements set forth in reference (A). If a selectee fails to meet those requirements, the commanding officer will initiate an appointment/commissioning delay in accordance with reference (A) and the appointment/commission will not be effected.
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/commissioned on 3 Feb 2020 at a ceremony aboard Marine Corps Base, Quantico. WO selectees will attend the Warrant Officer Basic Course (WOBC). The mission of WOBC is to train and educate newly appointed/commissioned warrant officers in the high standards of professional knowledge, esprit-de-corps, and leadership required to transition from enlisted Marines to officers with particular emphasis on the duties, responsibilities and warfighting skills required of a provisional rifle platoon commander. By separate orders from the 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 18 Jan 2020. Selectees must report no earlier than 0600 on 17 Jan 2020, and no later than 1200 on 17 Jan 2020. References (C) and (D) 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 selectees. 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 appoint/commissioning and training standards per reference (A) prior to appointment/commissioning.
5. Orders Process
a. Per references (D) and (E), orders to WOBC will be issued as followed:
1) Marines within 50 miles of Marine Corps Base, Quantico will be issued Permanent Change of Assignment orders.
2) Marines with no dependents (CONUS and OCONUS) will be issued TEMINS orders.
3) Marines with dependents (CONUS and OCONUS) or single Marines who were previously authorized to reside in town will be issued TAD orders via DTS and a funding letter will be provided in MCTIMS by TECOM. Marines attending WOBC in a TAD status should ensure proper administrative and legal documents are completed prior to departing to WOBC (i.e. Power of Attorney).
b. The point of contact for TAD orders is your local administrative office or consolidated admin center. Point of contact for all other order types is the respective IMSO monitor at MMOA.
c. Reserve unit Commanding Officers/Inspectors-Instructors issuing permanent change of station (PCS), TEMINS, TAD, and Marine Reserve Orders Writing System (MROWS) orders for Marines to attend WOBC will issue DD Form 214 prior to the Marine executing orders to TBS. DD Form 214s will cover all active-duty enlisted service through 31 Jan 2020. Ensure strict compliance with ref (F). Although hard copy DD Form 214s may be signed and issued to the Marines 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 individual's appointment/commission in the Marine Corps Total Force System. Upon appointment/commission, the MOL/DTMS and DD Form 214 may be certified/published, and mandatory distribution of signed hard copies 2 (Official Military Personnel File) and 5 (Dept of Labor) shall be made.
d. If a selectee is found unqualified or is otherwise not appointed/commissioned for any reason after executing orders to TBS, DTMS and DD Form 214 documents previously generated shall be deleted/cancelled, and hard copy DD Form 214s shall be shredded, as appropriate. The following blocks/items shall be standard on all 2020 WOBC DD Form 214s: “12B. 20200131”. “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 (F) for this occasion should apply to all other sections of the DD Form 214s.
6. Check-in procedures and initial information for WOBC will be posted on the TBS website upon release of this message. Additionally, check-in information and documents will be posted on the WOBC 1-20 MarineNet Moodle Page upon release of this message. TBS will add all selected Marines to the MarineNet Moodle Page approximately one week after the release of this message. The selectees must view the TBS website as soon as possible to read the welcome aboard information and other coordinating instructions pertaining to WOBC. The TBS point of contact is The Student Liaison Office and can be reached at TBS_Student_Liaison_Officers@usmc.mil. The website address is www.trngcmd.marines.mil/units/northeast/the-basic-school/.

Selectees should either purchase their officer Service Alpha uniform or be prepared to have their uniforms tailored prior to the appointment/commissioning ceremony. Specific information for uniform requirements can be found on the TBS website.
8. Selectees are encouraged to arrive in peak physical condition due to the rigors of the course. Selectees must achieve a first class physical fitness test (PFT) prior to appointment/commissioning as outlined in ref (G) and maintain Marine Corps Body Composition and Military Appearance standards per ref (H). Marines who are not within standards or do not score a first class PFT after two attempts will be dropped from the course during the first week of training. If a Marine is dropped from training, the CO TBS has the discretion to allow a Marine to defer to the next WOBC. There will be extended field time at the WOBC. Selectees are encouraged to practice running the obstacle course with an emphasis on rope climbing. Hiking under load, running in boots and in utilities are also recommended. Passing a 10-mile hike under prescribed load, a double standard Marine Corps Obstacle Course and the TBS Endurance Course are required to graduate from WOBC.
9. Selectees with less than 13 years of service are encouraged to be current rifle and pistol qualified prior to attending WOBC 1-20 as the number of range seats available at first duty station as an officer will be limited, if available at all.

A Marine whose appointment is terminated may, upon his or her request, and at the discretion of SECNAV, be enlisted in a grade not lower than that held immediately prior to appointment/commission." Marines selected for the Warrant Officer program will incur a 3-year obligation from the date of appointment/commission.
14. Per ref (I) and prior to appointment/commissioning, CWO2 (Recruiter) selectees must be determined physically qualified for appointment/commission by the Chief, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED). All selectees are required to provide via email, immediately upon release of this message, a letter on command letterhead with their point of contact information: name, DSN, commercial telephone numbers, and email addresses to the point of contact at brent.reidenbach@marines.usmc.mil. Any selectees who are required to provide additional medical documentation for BUMED to determine their medical qualification, must provide all documentation by 1 January 2020. Medical documentation received and/or selectees determined physically qualified after the due date may be rescheduled to the next available WOBC. Failure to comply with requirements will delay receipt of the appointment/commissioning documents at TBS, and may subsequently result in a forfeiture of the date of rank. Commanding officers of deployed Marines can contact MCRC ON-E to establish arrangements to complete this task, if needed. The date of the physical examination must not be older than 3 Feb 2018. If the physical examination was completed prior to 3 Feb 2019, then copies of the current and previous years preventative health assessment (PHA) is required in addition to the physical examination.
15. Commanding officers must closely review a selectee's medical and dental records to ensure correctness and completeness prior to arrival at TBS.

Pay particular attention to the following items:
a. Marks and scars must be listed.
b. Selectees must be dental class type 1 or 2, documented on the DD Form 2808 in block 43 and have block 83.a signed by a dentist or submit a dental examination as a separate enclosure. Dental records should be updated to reflect the most current dental examination.
