GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. On 03 October 2023, the Director, Manpower Management convened the fiscal year 2024 (FY24) Computer Network Operations Development Program (CNODP) Selection Panel to select Marines for assignment to the National Security Agency’s (NSA) CNODP Class of 2027.
2. A subsequent NSA selection panel in December 2023 confirmed the Marines identified in paragraph 5.a. as fully qualified for assignment to the CNODP.
3. Selection to the CNODP is a testament to the quality of the highly technically-competent Marines whose participation in the program will further their development in the areas of secure system design, vulnerability analysis, computer network defense, and computer network exploitation. The selected individuals will join the cadre of technical leaders who will improve Department of Defense and Marine Corps cyber network operations capabilities.
4. Attendance and timelines
4.a. Selectees will begin Core Training in July 2024. Contact the MARFORCYBER AC/S G/J-7 listed in paragraph (7) for more details on the program.
4.b. Marines who accept assignment to the CNODP will incur a six-year service obligation beginning in the fiscal year in which they attend the CNODP. Enlisted Marines will submit their extension or reenlistment via their unit career planer in the Total Force Retention System NLT 21 February 2024.
5. Panel results

6. Primary selectees are to accept via email to their primary MOS monitor and to the MARFORCYBER A/CS G/J-7 listed in paragraph (7) NLT 21 February 2024.
6.a. Declinations. Selected Marines who subsequently decline to participate in the CNODP must submit their declination in writing (AA form) to HQMC (MMOA-3) via the first O-6 commander in their chain of command NLT 21 February 2024. A declination renders a Marine ineligible for screening on future CNODP selection panels.
6.b. Alternates fleeted up to fill vacated CNODP quotas are also required to accept or formally decline via the procedure described above.
6.c. Deferrals. Marines selected for the CNODP by the panel who are unable to execute orders due to extraordinary life or professional circumstances may request a deferral. If approved by Director, Manpower Management, Marines will be automatically selected on the FY25 panel. Primary selectees may submit a deferral request in writing (AA Form) to HQMC (MMOA-3) via the first O-6 commander in their chain of command.
6.d. All correspondence must originate from the selected Marine. In the case of AA forms requesting declination or deferral, Marines should scan all documents into a single portable document format (PDF) and email it to the MMOA SMB mailbox at: SMBMMOAPLANSO@usmc.mil.
6.e. Once a Marine accepts their selection and receives orders they are subject to references (b) and (c).
