6. LM designated PMOSs. 
6.a.  LM PMOSs are listed under paragraphs 5.a, 5.b, and 5.c with
the LM designation.  These PMOSs are authorized bonus payments to
Marines who execute a LM in conjunction with a reenlistment in their
respective Zones.  Marines who request LM into a PMOS may submit for
reenlistment immediately and do not have to wait until their current
PMOSs boatspaces are closed out prior to requesting a LM boatspace.
Bonus payment for LM PMOSs will not be made at the time of
reenlistment but upon successful completion of PMOS training and
subsequent award of the PMOS.  Bonus payment will be based upon the
FY SRB authorized at the time of reenlistment.  Marines who are in
training beyond 30 September 2025 will be authorized payment of the
PMOS bonus once the Marine Corps Total Force System shows they have
been awarded the new PMOS.  Marines who fail to complete required LM
PMOS training will be re-designated or administratively separated 
according to the needs of the Marine Corps and will receive no
bonus, even if the PMOS the Marine is reclassified into is eligible
to receive one.
6.b. Aviation Lateral Moves. Any reenlistment eligible Marine in
Zones A, B, and C holding an F-35 like PMOS, will rate the F-35 PMOS
bonus payment when they gain the F-35 PMOS.  F-35 like MOS(s) are as
follows:
(1) Like 6218 PMOS(s): 6212, 6217, 6222, and 6227
(2) Like 6258 PMOS(s): 6252 and 6257
(3) Like 6288 PMOS(s): 6282 and 6287
(4) Like 6338 PMOS(s): 6317, 6332, and 6337 
7. Administrative Elements.
7.a. Boatspace quotas will only be exceeded upon approval by 
Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC), Manpower Plans, Policy, and 
Budget (MPP). Reenlistments approved in excess of boatspace quotas
per PMOS may rate a bonus if available funding exists and is
authorized by CMC (MPP).  Marines are encouraged to reenlist early
in the FY25 retention campaign. 
7.b. PMOS bonus authority is granted for service in the PMOS. As of
the date time group (DTG) of the MARADMIN announcing approved 
selections to first sergeant/master sergeant, Marines selected to
first sergeant will not be eligible to receive a PMOS bonus. Marines
eligible for promotion to first sergeant/master sergeant who execute
reenlistment prior to the release of the selection MARADMIN will
receive a PMOS bonus if eligible.  Example: A Zone C 0372 gunnery
sergeant who is eligible for promotion and reenlists prior to the
DTG of the release of the selection MARADMIN will receive a PMOS
bonus of $55,000. Additionally, a Zone C 0372 gunnery sergeant who
is selected to master sergeant and reenlists after the DTG of the
release of the selection MARADMIN will receive a PMOS bonus of
$55,000.  However, a Zone C 0372 gunnery sergeant who is selected to
first sergeant and reenlists after the DTG of the release of the
selection MARADMIN is no longer eligible to receive a PMOS bonus. 
7.c.  Flat Rate PMOS Bonus.  The pre-tax flat rate PMOS bonus 
amounts authorized are based on the Marine's reenlistment Zone, 
the Marine's grade on the date of reenlistment, the PMOS for which
the Marine is reenlisting, and the kicker or initiative the Marine
selects (if any).
7.d.  Obligated Service and Computation of PMOS Bonus.  The PMOS 
bonus dollar amount is impacted by the number of months of 
additional obligated service for which the Marine reenlists. 
Obligated service is defined as the time between the Marine's 
ECC at the time of reenlistment and the ECC of the Marine's new 
contract immediately after reenlistment.  Marines who are not 
eligible for the 72-month reenlistment incentive must reenlist 
for a minimum of 48 months of additional obligated service to 
get the full PMOS bonus.  On a case-by-case basis, CMC (MMEA-1) 
may authorize reenlistment periods of less than 48 months, these 
Marines will be eligible for a PMOS bonus at a prorated amount, 
as long as the reenlistment period includes at least 36 months 
of additional obligated service.  Marines who reenlist for less 
than 36 months of additional obligated service, excluding any 
initiatives addressed in this MARADMIN, are not eligible for any 
PMOS bonus.  Marines will rate the PMOS bonus applicable to 
their Zone, their grade, and their MOS as authorized in this 
MARADMIN.  The kickers listed in paragraph 4 of this MARADMIN are
only available to 48-month additional obligated service contracts.
No prorated amounts on kickers or initiatives will be authorized.
(1) Example: A Marine whose ECC is 15 March 2025 and is reenlisting
with an effective date of 16 March 2025 will be required to reenlist
for 48 months to rate the full 48-month PMOS bonus payment.  
(2) Example: A Marine whose ECC is 15 March 2025 and is reenlisting
with an effective date of 14 March 2025 will be required to reenlist
for 49 to rate the full 48-month PMOS bonus payment.  (3) Example:
Marines reenlisting for other than 48 months of obligated service
will rate the number of months of obligated service/48 months x the
PMOS bonus authorized rounded to the nearest dollar.  An 0231
corporal in Zone A decides to reenlist for 39 months of obligated
service, their ECC is 15 December 2024 prior to reenlistment, and
after reenlistment their ECC is 15 March 2028.  The PMOS bonus
authorized will be as follows: 39 months/48 months x $14,000 =
$11,375.  (4) Example: A sergeant in Zone A reenlists into the 2631
PMOS and reenlists for 60 months of obligated service at time of
reenlistment.  The PMOS bonus authorized will be limited to the full
48-month PMOS bonus amount of $31,750.  Final determination of all 
bonus recoupment amounts will be made by a disbursing office or the
Defense Finance Accounting Service.
7.e.  SRB Payment Caps.  Per reference (a), no Marine will 
exceed $360,000 in career SRB payments.  Example: A Zone A sergeant
who successfully LMs into 0211 on a 72-month contract will receive
$105,000.  That Marine will only rate a total of $255,000 in future
bonuses regardless of the amounts published in future SRB MARADMINs. 
7.f.  Years of Service Calculation.  To determine a Marine's years
of active military service, the Armed Forces Active-Duty Base Date
will be used for all Marines. 
7.g. Kicker Limitations. Marines may be eligible for multiple 
kickers as part of this Program, however Marines will be limited 
to receiving only one kicker upon reenlistment. (1) Example: A 
Zone A 6176 corporal that is qualified to receive the Aircraft 
Maintenance Kicker and eligible for the Aircraft Readiness Kicker.
This Marine cannot receive both kickers and will have to choose
which kicker to accept, adhering to its corresponding Statement of
Understanding. 
8.  Recoupment Policy. 
8.a.  Marines who receive an SRB payment will be required to 
serve in a billet requiring the PMOS or skill for which they 
received the bonus payment, unless they serve in an authorized
out-of-skill assignment, or a waiver is granted by the Secretary of
the Navy.  Failure to complete this requirement may result in
recoupment of the unearned portion of the Marine's reenlistment
bonus as stated in reference (a).
8.b.  Marines with an approaching ECC who are awaiting the 
results of a board leading to an officer program or Marines who 
intend to submit for an officer program should request 
an extension of their current contract vice reenlistment.  
Marines who reenlist or extend solely to gain sufficient 
obligated service to participate in a program leading to a 
commissioned or warrant officer status are not entitled to an 
SRB. 
8.c.  Marines who reenlist in their PMOS or skill then subsequently
apply to and are accepted into a program that will change their
PMOS or skill or lead to a commission, are not subject to any
recoupment of SRB.  The term "apply" is defined as the date on a
Marine's cover letter requesting consideration for one of these type
programs.  (1) Example: An 0629 staff sergeant in Zone C who
reenlisted for 48 months of obligated service during FY23 and
received a $4,500 PMOS bonus payment is entitled to keep their 
entire PMOS bonus payment if they apply for and are selected to
become a career recruiter during FY25. (2) Example: An 0441 staff
sergeant in Zone B who reenlisted for 48 months of obligated service
during FY23 and received a $12,150 PMOS bonus payment is entitled
to keep their entire PMOS bonus payment if they apply for and are 
selected to the MECEP during FY25. 
8.d.  Marines who apply for a program which will change their PMOS
or lead to a commission, then subsequently reenlist within their
PMOS will not normally be considered eligible for an SRB and are
subject to recoupment of the unearned portion of any SRB payment
received.  The term "apply" is defined as the date on a Marine's
cover letter requesting consideration for one of these type 
programs. (1) Example: An 0861 staff sergeant in Zone B applies to
become a career recruiter on 1 January 2025, reenlists for 48 months
of obligated service on 1 March 2025 receives a $17,000 PMOS bonus
payment, and is accepted/assigned as a career recruiter on 1 June
2025 would have the unexpired portion of obligated service recouped.
Recoupment details: 45 months unexpired obligated service/48 months
original obligated service x $17,000 PMOS bonus payment received:
$15,937 total recoupment.  Final determination of all SRB recoupment
amounts will be made by a disbursing office or the Defense Finance 
Accounting Service.
