    f.  Commanding officers will notify those applicants whose names are not listed in paragraph 1 of their non-selection.  Marines who were considered, but not selected may contact the Reserve Enlisted Career Counselors HQMC (CMT) toll free at (877) 415-9275, option 5, then option 3, for career counseling and guidance on improving selection competitiveness.  Due to the confidentiality of the selection board process, the specific reason for selection failure will not be provided.
    g.  Appointment
        (1) Selectees are slated to be appointed on 3 Feb 2020 at a ceremony aboard Marine Corps Base, Quantico.  Selectees will report to the Commanding General, Marine Corps Combat Development Command (MCCDC), 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.  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).  Failure to do so may result in revocation of appointment.  The mission of the 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 Marines to officers with particular emphasis on the duties, responsibilities and warfighting skills required of a provisional rifle platoon commander.
        (2) SMCR selectees must affiliate with the units, for which selected, immediately following successful completion of the WOBC and any follow-on MOS schools.  WOs not required to attend MOS schools, or whose MOS schools begin 30 days or more after the WOBC graduation date, will execute an inter-unit transfer immediately upon return to their original units.

        (3) Both SMCR and AR WOs are in a probationary status for 5 years from the date of appointment.
    i.  Funding and Orders for Training

        (2) Units shall submit orders for the SMCR selects via the Marine Resource Order Writing Service (MROWS) utilizing RA (HQ/WO) funding no later than 1 Jan 2020.  Appropriation data and MROWS procedures are available at www.manpower.usmc.mil under Reserve Marine/Reserve Continuation and Transition Branch/FY20 Enlisted to Warrant Officer (Reserve) Selection Order Writing Instructions.  Contact RA at (703) 784-9136 with any questions.  It is imperative that Marines arrive with fully funded orders to avoid a delay in the 30-day partial per diem settlements.  Historically, delays in MROWS orders modifications from enlisted funding to officer funding have negatively impacted timely partial settlements.
        (3) Attendance of WOBC and primary MOS school training take precedence over unit annual training, operational commitments and mobilization.
