GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  Purpose.  This MARADMIN announces the Selective Retention Bonus (SRB) Program and the Broken Service SRB (BSSRB) Program authorized for the FY24 retention campaign which begins 1 June 2023.  Marines with an Expiration of Current Contract (ECC) from 1 October 23 to 30 September 24 are encouraged to thoroughly review the contents of this MARADMIN.
2. Background.  Retaining our most experienced and qualified Marines remains one of the Commandant's highest priorities. Retention goals are vital for shaping and sustaining the Marine Corps' enlisted force. Recent efforts put forth by commands and their teams during FY23 proved successful, resulting in a higher retention rate than in previous years. It is imperative that we build upon this success and continue to prioritize retaining our most valuable asset - talented Marines.
3. Eligibility. Marines who reenlist on or after 1 June 23 are eligible for the FY24 SRB.  Eligibility includes:
3.a. Any regular component first-term or career Marine with an ECC from 1 October 23 to 30 September 24. FY23 Marines with an ECC between 1 June 23 and 30 September 23 are no longer eligible for an SRB.
3.b. FY25 Early Reenlistment Authority (ERA) Program first-term Marines with an ECC from 1 October 24 to 30 September 25 who reenlist upon commencement of the program. The ERA Program is set to begin 1 December 23.
3.c. Prior service regular component Marines who reenlist back into the active component with less than a 4-year break in service between regular component contracts are eligible to receive a BSSRB, per reference (C), in the amounts outlined in section 6.
4. Kicker Programs.  The Marine Corps has six SRB kickers in FY24. Eligibility for these kickers are outlined in paragraphs 4.a. – 4.f.

7. LM and CP designated PMOSs.
7.a. LM PMOSs are listed under paragraphs 6.a, 6.b, and 6.c 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 LM boatspace.  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 September 24 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 LM 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.
7.b.  Aviation Lateral Moves.  Any reenlistment eligible Marine in Zones A, B, and C holding an F-35 like PMOS, will rate the F-35 PMOS bonus payment when they gain the F-35 PMOS.  An F-35 LM will not rate the Aircraft Maintenance Kicker.  F-35 like MOS(s) are as follows:
(1) Like 6218 PMOS(s): 6212, 6217, 6222, and 6227
(2) Like 6258 PMOS(s): 6252 and 6257
(3) Like 6288 PMOS(s): 6282 and 6287
(4) Like 6338 PMOS(s): 6317, 6332, and 6337
7.c. Career Progression.  CP PMOS(s) are listed under paragraph(s) 6.b. and 6.c. with the CP designation.  These PMOSs are authorized bonus payments to Marines who hold a feeder PMOS, possess the intended MOS (IMOS), and are registered for the PMOS producing course.  Marines currently serving on a Special Duty Assignment (SDA) or slated to attend an SDA are exempt from the class registration requirement due to the inability to register or attend the PMOS producing course. Marines who request CP reenlistment may submit for reenlistment immediately and do not have to wait until their current PMOSs boatspaces are closed out prior to requesting a CP PMOS boat space.  Bonus payment for CP 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 September 24 will be authorized payment of the PMOS bonus once MCTFS shows they have been awarded the new PMOS.  Marines who fail to complete required CP 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.  Marines must complete training prior to the end of their new contract for the bonus to be awarded.  (1) Example:  A Zone B 0311 Sergeant, selected for promotion to Staff Sergeant may request a CP reenlistment for PMOS 0369 upon registration for the Infantry Unit Leaders Course. (2) Example:  A Zone C 2841 Staff Sergeant with orders to MCC K9R to attend the Electronics Maintenance Technician Course may request a CP reenlistment for PMOS 2862.
8. Administrative Elements.
8.a. Boatspace caps will only be exceeded upon approval by Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) Manpower Plans, Policy, and Budget (MPP). Reenlistments approved in excess of boatspace caps per PMOS may rate a bonus if available funding exists and is authorized by CMC (MPP).  If the number of submissions exceeds the number of allocations, the most qualified Marines, determined by Manpower Management Enlisted Assignments (MMEA), will be assigned and will rate the appropriate bonus. Marines are encouraged to reenlist early in the FY24 retention campaign.
8.b. PMOS bonus authority is granted for service in the PMOS. As of the date time group (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 and reenlists prior to the DTG of the release of the selection MARADMIN will receive a PMOS bonus of $55,000. Additionally, a 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 $55,000.  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.
8.c. 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 incentive the Marine selects (if any).
8.d. Obligated Service and Computation of PMOS Bonus.  The PMOS bonus dollar amount is impacted by the number of months of additional obligated service for which the Marine reenlists. Obligated service is defined as the time between the Marine's ECC at the 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 incentive must reenlist for a minimum of 48 months of additional 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 additional obligated service.  Marines who reenlist for less than 36 months of additional obligated service, excluding any initiatives addressed in this MARADMIN, 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 MARADMIN.  The kickers listed in section 4 of this MARADMIN 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 March 24 and is reenlisting with an effective date of 16 March 24 will be required to reenlist for 48 months to rate the full 48-month PMOS bonus payment. (2) Example: A Marine whose ECC is 15 March 24 and is reenlisting with an effective date of 14 March 24 will be required to reenlist for 49 to rate the full 48-month PMOS bonus payment. (3) Example: 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 Corporal in Zone A decides to reenlist for 39 months of obligated service, their ECC is 15 December 23 prior to reenlistment, and after reenlistment their ECC is 15 March 26.  The PMOS bonus authorized will be as follows: 39 months/48 months x $14,000 = $11,375.  (4) Example: A Sergeant 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. Final determination of all bonus recoupment amounts will be made by a disbursing office or the Defense Finance Accounting Service.
8.e. SRB Payment Caps.  Per reference (a), no Marine will exceed $360,000 in career SRB payments. Example: A Zone A sergeant who successfully LMs into 0211 on a 72-month contract will receive $105,000.  That Marine will only rate a total of $255,000 in future bonuses regardless of the amounts published in future SRB MARADMINs.
8.f. Years of Service Calculation.  To determine a Marine's years of active military service, the Armed Forces Active-Duty Base Date will be used for all Marines.
9. Recoupment Policy.
9.a. Marines who receive an SRB payment will be required to serve in a billet requiring the PMOS or skill for which they received the bonus payment, unless they serve 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).
9.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 an SRB.
9.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: A 0629 Staff Sergeant in Zone C who reenlisted for 48 months of obligated service during FY22 and received a $4,500 PMOS bonus payment is entitled to keep their entire PMOS bonus payment if they apply for and are selected to become a career recruiter during FY24. (2) Example: An 0431 Staff Sergeant in Zone B who reenlisted for 48 months of obligated service during FY22 and received a $12,150 PMOS bonus payment is entitled to keep their entire PMOS bonus payment if they apply for and are selected to the MECEP during FY24.
9.d.
