GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. Pursuant to reference (a), the Marine Corps’ 
Prior Service and Reserve Augmentation Enlistments Program (PSEP) 
offers opportunities for Marines with prior service or that are 
currently serving in the Reserve Component to reenlist in the 
Regular Marine Corps.  The Marine Corps highly values its Prior 
Service and Reserve Marines and encourages their return to or 
accession in the Active Component. This MARADMIN provides amplifying
guidance for execution.  
2. Eligibility Criteria
2.a. Eligible Rank and Grade. All current and/or prior enlisted 
Marines of any rank may apply.
2.b. Applications. Applicants can apply through their local 
recruiter or career planner at any time throughout the year.  Those 
interested in applying may also contact Marine Corps Recruiting 
Command (MCRC) at the point of contact above for more information.  
Previously denied applicants are encouraged to submit a new 
application as soon as six months after the date of their previous 
denial.  Applicants in receipt of involuntary or voluntary 
separations pay or continuation pay may be subject to recoupment by 
the United States Government upon accession.
2.c. Age and Service Limits. In accordance with reference (b), 
applicants must be able to complete at least 20 years of active 
service on or before the last day of the month in which they reach 
62.   
2.d. Medical Screening Options. Applicants with an Individual 
Medical Record status of “Fully Medically Ready” in Marine Online 
qualify.  All other applicants require a DD2807-1 completed by a 
military entrance processing station, unit medical support staff, 
military treatment facility, or an appropriately licensed and 
qualified civilian health care provider.
2.e Reenlistment (RE) Codes. Applicants with a RE code of RE-4 or 
RE-4B must have them modified by the Board for Correction of Naval 
Records, unless the code was received solely due to discharge for 
failure to get the Novel Coronavirus Disease vaccine.  Other RE 
codes will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
3. Date of Rank (DOR) Adjustments. Manpower Management, Enlisted 
Assignments (MMEA) will determine the applicant’s DOR upon re-
enlistment.  As a general guideline, prior Active Component or 
Active Reserve applicants off active duty for 365 days or less will 
retain their current DOR.
4. Lateral Moves. Applicants may request and be considered for a 
lateral move to a PMOS upon reenlistment, based on an assessment of 
their qualifications and the needs of the Marine Corps.
5. Command Involvement
5.a. Conditional Release for Reserve Marines. All Reserve applicants 
must obtain a conditional release (DD Form 368) with their 
application.  Individual Ready Reserve releases will be routed to 
the Marine Corps Individual Reserve Support Activity.  Active 
Reserve releases will be routed to Reserve Affairs Personnel 
Management (RAM) via Manpower Management Separations and 
Retirements-2E (MMSR-2E) and their chain of command.  SMCR obligor 
releases will be routed from the first O-5 in the chain of command 
to the Marine Forces Reserve G-1.  SMCR non-obligor releases will be 
routed from the first O-5 in the chain of command directly to the 
applicant’s major subordinate command.  Individual Mobilization 
Augmentee (IMA) releases will be routed to Reserve Affairs Personnel 
Management-3 (RAM-3) via the IMA Operational Sponsor and Operational 
Group Manager.
5.b. Command Recommendation. The recommendations required for this 
program may be signed in accordance with current MCRC regulations.  
6. Coordinating Instructions. All application packages shall be 
submitted to Headquarters Marine Corps via the Total Force Retention 
System (TFRS).  Active Reserve applicants must notify their PMOS 
monitor of their approval and provide the TFRS tracking number.
7. General Processing Timelines. A decision can generally be 
expected within 30 days of Manpower and Reserve Affairs receiving a 
completed application package.  
8. Effective Date. This MARADMIN is effective immediately upon 
release.
9. Point of Contact. For any questions regarding the PSEP, please 
contact the MCRC G-3, Enlisted Operations, at (571) 559-4659.  For 
any MMEA-specific questions regarding this MARADMIN, please contact 
MMEA-1 at (703) 432-9125.
10. Release authorized by Lieutenant General Michael J. Borgschulte, 
Deputy Commandant for Manpower and Reserve Affairs.//
