2.H. All class dates should be verified through the Marine Corps Training Information Management System (MCTIMS). Class dates may be changed throughout the FY for various reasons.

5. Duty Status Waiver Requests
5.A. Marines who are currently in a light or limited duty status may submit a duty status waiver request to attend the resident school.

5.A.4. Only the current or previous FY promotion board information will be used to estimate a Marine's potential promotion selection timeline.
