GENTEXT/REMARKS./1. Purpose. This MARADMIN announces the SRB program and the BSSRB program authorized for FY22. With the advent of several new SRB programs, Marines are encouraged to thoroughly review the contents of this bulletin. First term Marines (Zone A) and career Marines (Zone B, C, D, E, F, and G) who reenlist on or after 7 Jul 21 are eligible for the FY22 SRB program. This will include:
1.a. Any regular component first term or career Marine with an End of Current Contract (ECC) from 1 Oct 21 to 30 Sep 22.
1.b. Prior service regular component Marines who reenlist back into the active component will only be allowed to reenlist after 1 Nov 21. Exceptions to this policy will be made for individuals who qualify for and desire to reenlist into one of the targeted Primary Military Occupational Specialties (PMOS) listed in the yearly submission goals promulgated by HQMC. Prior service Marines with less than a 4-year break in service between regular component contracts may be eligible to receive a BSSRB, if available.
1.c. First Term Marines with an ECC in FY23 selected for the Early Reenlistment Program as outlined in reference (d).
2. Background. Retaining our experienced and qualified Marines remains one of the Commandant's highest priorities. Achieving retention goals is vital for shaping and sustaining the Marine Corps' enlisted force.
3. Key elements of the FY22 SRB program.
3.a. Early Reenlistment Program Eligibility. Marines approved for early reenlistment through the terms of reference (d) are eligible for FY22 SRB amounts detailed in this MARADMIN. Those Marines who elect to reenlist early and accept a bonus amount from the FY22 SRB are not eligible for an FY23 bonus if the FY23 amount is greater than FY22; should a Marine’s MOS rate a bonus of smaller amount in the FY23 SRBP, the Marine will keep the full bonus amount accepted as an early reenlisted Marine in FY22.
3.b. Kicker Programs. The Marine Corps will
institute six SRB kickers in FY22: the Early Reenlistment Kicker, the Aircraft Maintenance Kicker, the Air Traffic Controller Kicker, the 72 Month Lateral Move (LM) Kicker, the 24 month FMF Squad Leader Kicker, and the 36 month FMF Squad Leader Kicker. Only one kicker may be obligated per Marine.
3.b.1. Early Reenlistment Kicker. Marines in Zones A, B, and C who submit for a minimum of 48 month reenlistment between 7 Jul 21 through 30 Sep 21 with a PMOS that is listed in section(s) 3.l, 3.m, and 3.n, and are subsequently approved, will rate an 8,000 dollar Early Reenlistment Kicker in addition to the PMOS bonus amount listed in section(s) 3.l, 3.m, and 3.n. After 30 Sep 21, this Early Reenlistment Kicker will expire. (1) Example in dollars: An FY22 Zone A Cpl submits for reenlistment into PMOS 0311 on 8 Aug 21 for 48 months and is approved. 24,250(bonus received) = 16,250(4 year PMOS bonus amount) + 8,000 (Early Reenlistment Kicker).
3.b.2. Aircraft Maintenance Kicker. Corporals through Gunnery Sergeants in Zones A, B, or C with the PMOSs 6048, 6073, 6212, 6216, 6217, 6218, 6222, 6223, 6227, 6252, 6257, 6258, 6276, 6282, 6287, 6288, 6314, 6316, 6317, 6332, 6336, 6337, 6338, 6531, or 6591 are eligible if the following conditions are met. Must possess at least one Necessary MOS (NMOS) and current qualification of: 6012-Safe For Flight (SFF) Controller, 6016-Collateral Duty Inspector (CDI), 6017- Collateral Duty Quality Assurance Representative (CDQAR), or 6018-Quality Assurance Representative (QAR). Must be currently assigned or accept assignment to the below MCCs, reenlist for 48 months, and agree to remain in a specified MCC for the first 24 months (following the end of their current contract), will rate a 20,000 dollar kicker in addition to the PMOS bonus amount listed in section(s) 3.l, 3.m, and 3.n. If no PMOS bonus is listed in section(s) 3.l, 3.m, and 3.n, the Marine rates a lump sum kicker of 20,000 dollars. MCCs Authorized for Aircraft Maintenance Kicker: 1V2, V6A, V6B, VR1, V80, V81, V83, V61, V63, VF1, VF2, VF3, VF4, VRA, VFG, VFB, VFD, VFE, V8A, V8B, V8C, 1J1, 1J2, 1J3, 1T2, 1T6, 1TS, 1TV. (1) Example in dollars: An FY22 Zone A Cpl in MCC VF1 reenlists for 48 months into PMOS 6217 holding a current CDI qualification, the 6016 NMOS, and agrees to remain in the MCC VF1 for a minimum of 24 months (following the end of their current contract). 20,000(bonus received) = 0(PMOS bonus amount) + 20,000(Aircraft Maintenance Kicker). (2) Example in dollars: An FY22 Zone B SSgt in MCC 1TV reenlists for 48 months into PMOS 6258 holding a current CDQAR and agrees to Permanent Change of Assignment (PCA) orders to MCC V8A for a minimum of 24 months (following the end of their current contract). 52,400(bonus received) = 32,400(PMOS bonus amount) + 20,000 (Aircraft Maintenance Kicker).
3.b.3. Air Traffic Controller Kicker. Any Zone A or B Marine who reenlists with the PMOS of 7257 and holds a NMOS of 7252, 7253, or 7254, who enters into a contract with the intent to gain one of the above mentioned NMOSs, for 48 months, will rate a 30,000 dollar Air Traffic Controller Kicker in addition to the PMOS bonus listed in section 3.l. and 3.m. The awarding of 7252, 7253, or 7254 predicates the payment of the Air Traffic Controller Kicker. Marines who are in training beyond 30 Sep 22 will be authorized payment of the kicker once MCTFS shows they have been awarded the new NMOS. This does not apply to Marines who lateral move into PMOS 7257. (1) Example in dollars: An FY22 Zone A Sgt reenlists into PMOS 7257 for 48 months, SMN agrees to gain the NMOS of 7253 at the time of reenlistment. 50,000(bonus received) = 20,000(PMOS bonus amount) + 30,000(Air Traffic Controller Kicker).
3.b.4. 72 Month Lateral Move (LM) Kicker. Zone A Marines electing to LM in FY22 into PMOSs listed in section 3.l with the LM designation, with the exception of 6218, 6258, 6288, 6338, and 7257, will be given the opportunity to reenlist for 72 months. Marines who execute a LM into one of these PMOSs for 72 months will rate a 40,000 dollar initiative in addition to the PMOS bonus listed in section 3.l. The LM initiative may not be coupled with any other kicker. Marines with an ECC in FY23 who reenlist under the Early Reenlistment Program are not eligible for the 72 Month Lateral Move Kicker. (1) Example in dollars: An FY22 Zone A Sgt conducts LM into PMOS 0211 for 72 months. 95,000(bonus received) = 55,000(PMOS bonus amount) + 40,000(72 Month LM Initiative).
3.b.5. Infantry Squad Leader Initiatives. The Marine Corps will institute two reenlistment/retention initiatives targeting Marines to serve as Sergeant, Infantry Squad Leaders during their subsequent retention action supporting the Fleet Marine Forces Squad Leader program: the 24 month FMF Squad Leader Kicker and the 36 Month FMF Squad Leader Kicker. Only one Sergeant Squad Leader Initiative may be authorized per Marine.
3.b.5.a. The 24 Month FMF Squad Leader Kicker. FTAP 0311, 0331, 0341, and 0352 Corporals and Sergeants (at the time of approval) who are currently assigned to one of the below MCCs who reenlist for 48 months, and agree to remain in a specified MCC for the first 24 months (following the end of their current contract), will rate a 13,000 dollar FMF Squad Leader Kicker at time of reenlistment execution in addition to the PMOS bonus amount listed in section 3.l. A draw case code will accompany the reenlistment making Marines who accept the terms of the contract ineligible for HSST screening during the first 24 months of the contract. Marines who accept the 24 Month FMF Squad Leader Kicker are subject to the terms of bonus recoupment as outlined in section 5. MCC designations are based on the needs of the Marine Corps. MCCs authorized for the 24 Month FMF Squad Leader Kicker: 1GR, 1GS, 1GT, V11, V12, V13, V14, V15, V16, V17, V18, V21, V22, V23, V24, V25, V26, V27, V28, V31, V32, V33, V34, V35, V36, V37, V38. 1) Example in dollars: An FY22 Zone A Cpl in MCC V11 reenlists for 48 months into PMOS 0311, and SNM agrees to remain in an authorized MCC for a minimum of 24 months (following the end of their current contract). 29,250(bonus received) = 16,250(PMOS bonus amount) + 13,000(24 Month FMF Squad Leader Kicker).
3.b.5.b. The 36 Month FMF Squad Leader Kicker. FTAP 0311, 0331, 0341, 0351 and 0352 Corporals and Sergeants (at the time of approval) who are currently assigned to one of the below MCCs who reenlist for 48 months, and agree to remain in a specified MCC for the first 36 months (following the end of their current contract), will rate a 20,000 dollar FMF Squad Leader Kicker at time of reenlistment execution in addition to the PMOS bonus amount listed in section 3.l. A draw case code will accompany the reenlistment making Marines who accept the terms of the contract ineligible for HSST screening during the first 36 months of the contract. Marines who accept the 36 Month FMF Squad Leader Kicker are subject to the terms of bonus recoupment as outlined in section 5. MCC designations are based on the needs of the Marine Corps. CCs authorized for the 24 Month FMF Squad Leader Kicker: 1GR, 1GS, 1GT, V11, V12, V13, V14, V15, V16, V17, V18, V21, V22, V23, V24, V25, V26, V27, V28, V31, V32, V33, V34, V35, V36, V37, V38. 1) Example in dollars: An FY22 Zone A Sgt in MCC V11 reenlists for 48 months into PMOS 0331, and SNM agrees to remain in an authorized MCC for a minimum of 36 months (following the end of their current contract). 37,500(bonus received) = 17,500(PMOS bonus amount) + 20,000(36 Month FMF Squad Leader Kicker).
3.c. Lateral Moves. LM PMOS(s) are listed under section(s) 3.l, 3.m, and 3.n with the LM designation. These PMOSs are authorized bonus payments to Marines who execute a LM in conjunction with a reenlistment in their respective zones. Marines who request LM into a PMOS may submit for reenlistment immediately and do not have to wait until their current PMOSs boatspaces are closed out prior to requesting a lateral move boat space. Bonus payment for LM PMOSs will not be made at the time of reenlistment but upon successful completion of PMOS training and subsequent award of the PMOS. Bonus payment will be based upon the FY SRB authorized at the time of reenlistment. Marines who are in training beyond 30 Sep 22 will be authorized payment of the PMOS bonus once MCTFS shows they have been awarded the new PMOS. Laterally moving Marines who fail to complete required lateral move PMOS training will be re-designated or administratively separated according to the needs of the Marine Corps and will receive no bonus, even if the PMOS the Marine is reclassified into is eligible to receive one.
3.d. Boatspace caps will only be exceeded in exceptional cases and upon approval by CMC (MPP-20). Reenlistments approved in excess of boatspace caps and SDA allocations per PMOS may rate a bonus if available funding exists and is authorized by CMC (MPP-20). There are a limited number of Aircraft Maintenance Kicker, Air Traffic Controller Kicker, and FMF Squad Leader Kicker allocations per PMOS. If the number of submissions exceeds the number of allocations, the most qualified Marines, determined by MMEA, will be assigned and will rate the appropriate bonus. Marines currently holding the PMOS 0365 who reenlist prior to 1 October 2022 will reenlist in their previous PMOS.
3.e. In most cases bonuses, to include all kickers and initiatives, will be suspended as boatspace requirements are met. For example, once the FY22 Zone A 1721 requirement has been met, if an additional FY22 Zone A 1721 Marine is allowed to reenlist, that Marine would not receive a bonus. Marines are encouraged to reenlist early in the FY22 retention campaign.
3.f. PMOS bonus authority is granted for service in the PMOS. As of the DTG of the MARADMIN announcing approved selections to First Sergeant/Master Sergeant, Marines selected to First Sergeant will not be eligible to receive a PMOS bonus. Marines eligible for promotion to First Sergeant/Master Sergeant who execute reenlistment prior to the release of the selection MARADMIN will receive a PMOS bonus if eligible. Example: A Zone C 0372 Gunnery Sergeant who is eligible for promotion reenlists prior to the DTG of release of the selection MARADMIN will receive a PMOS bonus of 30,000 dollars. Also, Zone C 0372 Gunnery Sergeant who is selected to Master Sergeant and reenlists after the DTG of the release of the selection MARADMIN will receive a PMOS bonus of 30,000 dollars. However, a Zone C 0372 Gunnery Sergeant who is selected to First Sergeant and reenlists after the DTG of the release of the selection MARADMIN is no longer eligible to receive a PMOS bonus.
3.g. Expiration of current contract (ECC) eligibility. ECC is to be used vice end of active service (EAS) to determine PMOS bonus eligible reenlistments. First term PMOS bonus eligible reenlistments are limited to those Marines with an ECC from 1 Oct 21 to 30 Sep 22. Career force PMOS bonus eligible reenlistments are limited to Marines who have reenlisted at least once and for those Marines with an ECC from 1 Oct 21 to 30 Sep 22.
3.h. Flat rate PMOS bonus. The pre-tax flat rate PMOS bonus amounts authorized are based on the Marine's reenlistment Zone, the Marine's grade on the date of reenlistment, the PMOS for which the Marine is reenlisting, and the kicker or initiative the Marine selects (if any).
3.i. Obligated service and computation of PMOS bonus. The PMOS bonus dollar amount is impacted by the number of months of obligated service for which the Marine reenlists. Obligated service is defined as the time between the Marine's ECC at time of reenlistment and the ECC of the Marine's new contract immediately after reenlistment. Marines who are not eligible for the 72 month reenlistment initiative must reenlist for a minimum of 48 months of obligated service to get the full PMOS bonus. On a case-by-case basis, CMC (MMEA-1) may authorize reenlistment periods of less than 48 months, these Marines will be eligible for a PMOS bonus at a prorated amount, as long as the reenlistment period includes at least 36 months of obligated service. Marines who reenlist for less than 36 months of obligated service, excluding any initiatives addressed in this bulletin, are not eligible for any PMOS bonus. Marines will rate the PMOS bonus applicable to their Zone, their grade, and their MOS as authorized in this bulletin. The kickers listed in section(s) 3.b.1, 3.b.2, 3.b.3 and 3.b.5 are only available to 48 month contracts. No prorated amounts on kickers or initiatives will be authorized. (1) Example: A Marine whose ECC is 15 Mar 22 and is reenlisting with an effective date of 16 Mar 22 will be required to reenlist for 48 months in order to rate the full 48 month PMOS bonus payment. (2) Example: A Marine whose ECC is 15 Mar 22 and is reenlisting with an effective date of 14 Mar 22 will be required to reenlist for 49 months in order to rate the full 48 month PMOS bonus payment. (3) Example in dollars: Marines reenlisting for other than 48 months of obligated service will rate the number of months of obligated service/48 months x the PMOS bonus authorized rounded to the nearest dollar. A 0231 Cpl in Zone A decides to reenlist for 39 months of obligated service, his ECC is 15 Dec 21 prior to reenlistment, and after reenlistment his ECC is 15 Mar 22. The PMOS bonus authorized will be as follows: 39 months/48 months x 10,400 = 8,450. Final determination of all bonus recoupment amounts will be made by a disbursing office or the Defense Finance Accounting Service. (4) Example in dollars: A Sgt in Zone A reenlists into the 2631 PMOS and reenlists for 60 months of obligated service at time of reenlistment. The PMOS bonus authorized will be limited to the full 48 month PMOS bonus amount of 22,680.
3.j. SRB payment caps. Per ref (A), no Marine will exceed 380,000 dollars in career SRB payments. (1) Example in dollars: A Zone A Sgt who successfully LMs into 0211 on a 72 month contract will receive 95,000. That Marine will only rate a total of 285,000 in future bonuses regardless of the amounts published in future SRB Bulletins.
3.k. Years of service (YOS) calculation. To determine a Marine's years of active military service the armed forces active duty base date (AFADBD) will be used for all Marines.
3.l. Zone A PMOS bonus eligibility. Zone A applies to those active component Marines with 17 months to 6 years of active military service. First term Marines with exactly 6 years of active military service on the date of reenlistment may be paid a Zone A PMOS bonus if they have not previously received a Zone A PMOS bonus. If they have received a Zone A PMOS bonus, or if no Zone A PMOS bonus is designated, they may be paid a Zone B PMOS bonus. Bonus payments are limited to one payment per Zone. Zone A lateral move PMOS bonus payments are only authorized for those PMOS(s) designated with LM. Marines who already hold a PMOS with a LM designator and are in Zone A will rate the PMOS bonus listed below. Zone A PMOS bonus payments for Marines who reenlist for at least 48 months obligated service are authorized as listed below in dollars (bonuses for Marines who reenlist for 36 to 47 months obligated service will be calculated as per para 3.i).

3.l.1. First term Marines who have been promoted out of their FTAP PMOSs qualify for the bonus payment of their prior PMOS if one is offered. For example, if a first term Marine holding PMOS 0311 is promoted to SSgt (and thus his/her PMOS is changed to 0369) prior to reenlisting, he/she will qualify for the 0311 PMOS bonus payment.
3.m. Zone B PMOS bonus eligibility. Zone B applies to those active component Marines with 6 to 10 years of active military service. Marines with exactly 10 years of active service on the date of reenlistment may be paid a Zone B PMOS bonus if they have not previously received a Zone B PMOS bonus. If they have received a Zone B PMOS bonus, or if no Zone B PMOS bonus is designated, they may be paid a Zone C PMOS bonus if available. Zone B lateral move PMOS bonus payments are only authorized for those PMOS(s) designated with LM. Marines who already hold a PMOS with a LM designator and are in Zone B will rate the PMOS bonus listed below. Zone B PMOS bonus payments for Marines who reenlist for at least 48 months obligated service are authorized as listed below in dollars (bonuses for Marines who reenlist for 36 to 47 months obligated service will be calculated as per para 3.i).

4. Aviation Lateral Moves. An F-35 LM Marine is eligible for the Aviation Maintenance Kicker if the Marine holds the necessary qualifications (detailed in paragraph 2.a) at the time of submission and procures the qualification for the F-35 platform as detailed in paragraph 2.a of this MARADMIN within 12 months of earning the F-35 PMOS. LM Marines who do not procure the necessary requirements within 12 months of earning the F-35 PMOS will be recouped as detailed in paragraph 5. Marines who laterally move to an F-35 PMOS are not eligible for the 72 month lateral move kicker.
5. Recoupment policy.
5.a. Marines who receive an SRB payment will be required to serve in a billet requiring the PMOS or skill for which he/she received the bonus payment, unless he/she serves in an authorized out-of-skill assignment, or a waiver is granted by the Secretary of the Navy. Failure to complete this requirement may result in recoupment of the unearned portion of the Marine's reenlistment bonus as stated in reference (a).
5.b. Marines with an approaching ECC, who are awaiting the results of a board leading to an officer program or Marines who intend to submit for an officer program should request an extension of their current contract vice reenlistment. Marines who reenlist or extend solely to gain sufficient obligated service to participate in a program leading to a commissioned or warrant officer status are not entitled to a SRB.
5.c. Marines who reenlist in their PMOS or skill then subsequently apply to and are accepted into a program that will change their PMOS or skill or lead to a commission, are not subject to any recoupment of SRB. The term "apply" is defined as the date on a Marine's cover letter requesting consideration for one of these type programs. (1) Example in dollars: A 3112 SSgt in Zone C who reenlisted for 48 months of obligated service during FY20 and received a 9,000 PMOS bonus payment is entitled to keep his/her entire PMOS bonus payment if he/she applies for and is selected to become a career recruiter during FY22. (2) Example in dollars: An 0431 SSgt in Zone B who reenlisted for 48 months of obligated service during FY20 and received a 10,000 PMOS bonus payment is entitled to keep his/her entire PMOS bonus payment if he/she applies for and is selected to MECEP during FY22.
5.d. Marines who apply for a program which will change their PMOS or lead to a commission, then subsequently reenlist within their PMOS will not normally be considered eligible for an SRB and are subject to recoupment of the unearned portion of any SRB payment received. The term "apply" is defined as the date on a Marine's cover letter requesting consideration for one of these type programs. (1) Example in dollars: An 1141 SSgt in Zone B applies to become a career recruiter on 1 Jan 22, reenlists for 48 months of obligated service on 1 Mar 22 receiving a 7,200 PMOS bonus payment, and is accepted/assigned as a career recruiter on 1 Jun 22 would have the unexpired portion of obligated service recouped. Recoupment details: 45 months unexpired obligated service/48 months original obligated service x 7,200 PMOS bonus payment received: 6,750 total recoupment. Final determination of all SRB recoupment amounts will be made by a disbursing office or the Defense Finance Accounting Service.
5.e. Marines who receive the Aircraft Maintenance Kicker must maintain or advance their qualification during the 24 month period (following the end of their current contract) that they are attached to a designate MCC. MCC designations are based on the needs of the Marine Corps. Marines are only eligible for PCA/PCS orders to MCCs listed in section 3.b.2 during the first 24 months of their FY22 reenlistment, with one exception. Marines are only eligible to be reassigned to an MCC not listed if they are assigned, per the needs of the Marine Corps, by M&RA in support of their PMOS in a billet in which they use their previously earned qualification(s). Marines will retain their bonus if they are reassigned to a different MCC, listed or not, during their first 24 months, as long as their designation is not revoked. Commanding Officers of the MCCs listed in 3.b.2 will submit a monthly roster confirming the Marines under the contract hold a qualification to DC Aviation via Aviation Sustainment Branch (ASB-33). Marines who do not maintain and utilize their qualifications during the entire 24 month period will be communicated to CMC (MPP-20) via ASB and will be subject to recoupment of the unearned portion of the Aircraft Maintenance Kicker. Only the Aircraft Maintenance Kicker will be subject to recoupment, not the PMOS bonus amounts listed in paragraphs 3.l, 3.m, and 3.n. (1) Example in dollars: A 6338 SSgt in Zone B with a CDQAR qualification reenlists for 48 months of obligated service, 24 of which will be served at MCC VLA. SNM loses their CDQAR qualification 5 months into their 24 month service requirement. SNM's name is annotated on the VLA's monthly roster indicating the loss of qualification. Recoupment details: 19 months unexpired obligated service/24 months original obligated service x 20,000 = 15,833.33 recouped. Final determination of all SRB recoupment amounts will be made by a disbursing office or the Defense Finance Accounting Service.
6. FY21 24 Month Extensions Initiative. Marines with an ECC in FY21 listed in reference(e) as eligible for a 24 month extension will remain eligible for the extension through 30 September 2021 as in reference (e).
