GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. On 23 September 2024, the Director, Manpower
Management convened the Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25) Computer Network
Operations Development Program (CNODP) Selection Panel to select
Marines for assignment to the National Security Agency’s (NSA)
CNODP Class of 2028.
2. A subsequent NSA selection panel in December 2024 confirmed the
Marines identified in paragraph 5.a. as fully qualified for
assignment to the CNODP.
3. Selection to the CNODP is a testament to the quality of the
highly technically competent Marines whose participation in the
program will further their development in the areas of secure
system design, vulnerability analysis, computer network defense,
and computer network exploitation. The selected individuals will
join the cadre of technical leaders who will improve Department of
Defense and Marine Corps cyber network operations capabilities.
4. Attendance and timelines
4.a. Selectees will begin Core Training in July 2025. Contact
the Marine Corps Forces Cyberspace Command (MARFORCYBER) POC listed
above for more details on the program.
4.b. Marines who accept assignment to the CNODP will incur a
six-year service obligation beginning in June 2025. Enlisted
Marines will submit their extension or reenlistment via their unit
career planner in the Total Force Retention System NLT 15 March
2025.
5. Panel results
5.a. The panel selected the following Marines to attend the NSA’s
CNODP class of 2028:
Name Rank MOS
Ouedraogo, Serge R. 1stLt 1702
Shaik, Sunjeev Cpl 1721
6. Primary selectees are to accept via email to their primary MOS
monitor and to the MARFORCYBER POC listed above NLT 14 March
2025.
6.a. Declinations. Selected Marines who subsequently decline to
participate in the CNODP must submit their declination in writing
via Administrative Action Form 5216, NAVMC 10274 (AA Form) to HQMC
Manpower Management Officer Assignments Branch (MMOA-3) via the
first O-6 commander in their chain of command NLT 14 March 2025.
A declination renders a Marine ineligible for screening on future
CNODP selection panels.
6.b. Alternates fleeted up to fill vacated CNODP quotas are also
required to accept or formally decline via the procedure described
above.
6.c. Deferrals. Marines selected for the CNODP by the panel who
are unable to execute orders due to extraordinary life or
professional circumstances may request a deferral. Primary
selectees may submit a deferral request in writing (AA Form) to HQMC
(MMOA-3) via the first O-6 commander in their chain of command.
6.d. All correspondence must originate from the selected Marine.
In the case of AA forms requesting declination or deferral,
Marines should scan all documents into a single portable document
format (PDF) and email it to the MMOA SMB mailbox at:
SMBMMOAPLANSO@usmc.mil.
6.e. Once a Marine accepts their selection and receives orders
they are subject to references (b) and (c).
