Marine Corps Recruiting Command (CG, MCRC). As a courtesy, please
notify the POC via email of your intention to decline.

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

skills required of a provisional rifle platoon commander.

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.
