GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. This MARADMIN announces the Marine Corps Recruiting Command (MCRC) Recruiting Station (RS) preference incentive offered to FY25 recruiting duty volunteers. This incentive is part of a larger MCRC campaign, Recruit the Recruiter (RtR), designed to increase volunteerism and reduce the size of the Headquarters Marine Corps Special Duty Assignment Screening Team (HSST) requirement. This is a collaborative effort between MCRC and Manpower & Reserve Affairs (M&RA), Manpower Management (MM).

Second Tour Recruiters are not eligible for RSI's, all second tour Recruiters will obtain a by name request before submission of their volunteer package due to receiving orders directly back onto the duty.
