5.  Post-Full Length School Professional Development Tour (Post-FLS
PDT) Opportunity.  The Director, Reserve Affairs (in coordination
with the Director, Manpower Management) intends to globally source 
Active Component manpower shortfalls with Reserve Component officers 
who recently completed resident PME opportunities.  Eligible billets 
will be staff/planning roles at the HQMC, MARFOR, and MEF levels only 
that provide officers valuable professional development and career-
enhancing experiences to complement their recent PME.  For officers 
who are eligible and accept a post-FLS PDT, Active Duty for 
Operational Support (ADOS) orders will run concurrent with the 24-
month payback obligation associated with a funded FLS, meaning the 
obligation to affiliate with a drilling Selected Marine Corps Reserve 
(SMCR)/ Individual Mobilization Augmentee (IMA) billet will be 12 
months (vice 24 months) at the conclusion of the ADOS orders.  PDT 
orders are dependent on the availability of funds and not guaranteed 
to be offered to FLS students.

convening date. 
6.a.2.  The POC for IMA and IRR officers is the MARFORRES 
customer service center at (toll-free) 800-255-5082 or e-mail the 
organizational mailbox at csc@cdc.usmc.mil.
6.a.3.  Funding for all PME will be provided by MARFORRES AC/S 
G-3 Training.  For activated officers attending non-resident courses 
or officers on ADOS orders, please contact the POC of this MARADMIN 
for further guidance.
6.b.  Active Reserve (AR) Officers
6.b.1.  Web Orders for AR officers attending FLS PME will be 
provided by their respective monitor at CMC (RA). 
6.b.2.  Temporary Additional Duty orders for AR officers attending
non-resident PME will be funded by MARFORRES AC/S G-3 Training.
7.  Selected officers have been screened for eligibility.  Failure 
to maintain eligibility or meet orders issuance requirements 90 days
prior to the course convening date could result in removal from the
course. 
8.  Individual Responsibilities
8.a.  Ensure contact information remains current in MOL. 
8.a.1.  Per reference (b), officers selected for resident PME shall
have orders in hand prior to executing any portion of travel or 
movement.  Commencement of travel shall not occur prior to the dates
prescribed on the orders.  Travel entitlements will be in accordance 
with reference (b).
8.a.2  Officers wishing to decline selection will do so via the 
application portal instructions.  Officers requesting a deferral must
do so via AA Form endorsed by the first general officer in their 
chain of command and forwarded to HQMC (RAM-3) NLT 90 days prior to
