GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  Marine Corps Recruiting Command (MCRC) requires 
high caliber company grade officers for assignment as Recruiting 
Station (RS) Executive Officers (XOs), Operations Officers (OpsOs), 
and Officer Selection Officers (OSOs) across the nation.  A panel 
consisting of staff from Manpower Management Officer Assignments 
(MMOA) and MCRC will convene on or about 19 August 2024 to identify 
and select officers for assignment during FY26.
2.  Eligibility Criteria.
2.a.  Time on Station (TOS).  Officers who will complete the 
prescribed tour, on their current set of orders, NLT 30 September 
2025 are eligible.  If an officer does not meet this requirement, 
the officer must contact their Primary MOS (PMOS) monitor to discuss 
waiver submission requirements and options for curtailment.
2.b.  Career timing.  Only those officers whose career timing that 
supports a full 36-month tour at MCRC are eligible.  Those officers 
in zone for promotion, selected for, or already promoted to Captain 
are eligible for assignment to MCRC.  Captains who are forecasted to 
be selected to the rank of Major during their MCRC assignment are 
ineligible for assignment.  Captains with a Date of Rank (DOR) of 1 
October 2023 or earlier will not screen, as they will not have the 
career timing to support a full 36-month tour.
2.c.  Career Designation.
2.c.1.  Officers who are not yet career designated but will screen 
for career designation on the FY25 Career Designation Panel #1 will 
be considered.  If an officer does not meet this requirement, the 
officer must contact their PMOS monitor to discuss waiver submission 
requirements.
2.c.2.  Per reference (a), when authorized by the Deputy Commandant, 
Manpower and Reserve Affairs, officers selected on the MCRC Company 
Grade Panel will be offered career designation in conjunction with 
acceptance of orders.  These officers will receive a notification in 
Marine Online (MOL) and shall accept or decline the offer of career 
designation at a date published on the future results MARADMIN.  
Officers who decline career designation will be considered as 
resigning in lieu of orders and will execute their current EAS.
2.d.  Questions regarding eligibility should be directed to the 
appropriate PMOS monitor.
3.  Process.
3.a.  Eligible officers are directed to the MMOA Vacancy Lists & 
Surveys page at https:(slash)(slash) 
www.manpower.usmc.mil/wordpress/?active_marine=active-marines-
home/manpower-management-division/mmoa/mmoa-lists-surveys.  This 
site will have the screening population roster and the vacancy list.  
The survey can be accessed at 
https:(slash)(slash)forms.osi.apps.mil/r/aRJK0niQj8.  Eligible 
officers must submit all correspondence to the board to 
SMBMMOAPLANSO@usmc.mil.
3.b.  The deadline for preference submission and board 
correspondence is 2359 18 August 2024.
3.c.  Assignments made by this panel are for a tour control factor 
(TCF) of 36 months.  Requests to resign or retire prior to the 
completion of the 36-month TCF will not normally receive favorable 
endorsement.  Final authority for requests to resign or retire is 
the Deputy Commandant, Manpower and Reserve Affairs, in accordance 
with reference (c).
4.  Incentive.  Per MARADMIN 371/03, officers who are assigned and 
successfully complete a tour as an RS XO, RS OpsO, or OSO will have 
the option of assignment to either Resident Career Level School 
(CLS) or the geographic location of their preference.  Officers who 
will be promoted to Major at the completion of their tour are 
ineligible for the incentive for Intermediate Level School (ILS) but 
may compete on the Commandant’s Education Board (CEB) for assignment 
to Resident ILS.  Marines promoted to Major and are still eligible 
for the geographic location of their preference.
5.  Billet Openings.  The below listed vacancies are the current 
projected vacancies for 2025.  They are being validated by MCRC and 
MMOA and are subject to change based on currently pending extensions 
and curtailments.  The final list of validated vacancies will be 
provided on 01 Aug 2024 on the MMOA vacancy list and surveys page 
listed in paragraph 3.a. (read in 4 columns)
