2.  MCRC will publish the statistics of the FY25 Enlisted to Warrant 
Officer Reserve selection board on the MCRC webpage located at 
www.mcrc.marines.mil/Marine-Officer/Officer-Naval-Enlisted-Applicants.

required to provide (via email) a letter on command letterhead with 
their point of contact information to include work and personal 
telephone numbers as well as work and personal email addresses to the

4.  Selectees who desire to decline appointment in the primary MOS or 
billet vacancy in which selected, shall submit a letter of 
declination via their chain of command to the Commanding General 
Marine Corps Recruiting Command (CG, MCRC).  As a courtesy, please 
notify the POC via email of your intention to decline.
5.  Per paragraph 8 of reference (a), selectees may defer to the next 
available WOBC due to personal hardship.  Selectees should submit a 
Request for Deferment through their chain of command to CG MCRC.  
Further, in accordance with paragraph 8 of reference (a), selectees 
will be deferred by MCRC to the next available if they are not 
medically qualified by BUMED.
6.  Commanding officers shall ensure the selectee meets the 
appointment requirements set forth in reference (a).  If a selectee 
fails to meet those requirements, the commanding officer will 
initiate an appointment delay in accordance with reference (a) and 
the appointment will not be effected.
7.  Appointment
    a.  Selectees are slated to be appointed on 1 February 2025 at a 
ceremony aboard Marine Corps Base, Quantico.  Selectees will report 
to the Commanding General, Marine Corps Combat Development Command

January 2025.  Selectees must report no earlier than 0600 on 21 
January 2025 and no later than 1200 on 21 January 2025.  The report 
date to the WOBC was modified in order to effectively screen 
selectees and ensure they meet appointment and training standards 
per reference (a).  Failure to do so will result in the selectee not 
being appointed.  The mission of the WOBC is to train and educate 
newly appointed or commissioned warrant officers in the high 
standards of professional knowledge, esprit-de-corps, and leadership

particular emphasis on the duties, responsibilities and warfighting 
skills required of a provisional rifle platoon commander.

selected, immediately following successful completion of the WOBC 
and any follow-on MOS schools.  WOs not required to attend MOS

graduation date, will execute an inter-unit transfer immediately 
upon return to their original units. 
    c.  Reference (c) requires SMCR selectees who have served 
less than 12 months on a contract and received an incentive bonus 
to contact their unit administration office to establish a preferred 
method of reimbursement of the bonus received. 
8.  Obligation 
    a.  SMCR selectees are required to affiliate with the designated 
SMCR units, and serve in the billet for which selected for a minimum 
period of 3 years.
    b.  Per reference (a), Commanding Officers must ensure that SMCR 
selectees sign the following page 11 entry prior to appointment: "I 
understand that appointment as a permanent Reserve Warrant Officer is 
for an indefinite term, and that SECNAV may terminate the appointment 
of any Warrant Officer who fails to complete the Warrant Officer 
Basic Course, any required MOS follow-on schools within 18 months of 
appointment, or the 3-year SMCR unit obligation.  A Marine whose 
appointment is terminated may, upon request, and at the discretion of 
the SECNAV, enlist in a grade not lower than that held immediately 
prior to appointment."   
    c.  Both SMCR and AR WOs are in a probationary status for 5 
years from the date of appointment.

that Marines arrive with fully funded orders to avoid a delay in the 
30-day partial per diem settlements.  Historically, delays in MROWS 
orders modifications from enlisted funding to officer funding have 
negatively impacted timely partial settlements.

precedence over unit annual training, operational commitments and 
mobilization.          
    d.  References (d) and (e) define the differences in Duty Under
