GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  The Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25) Career Designation
Panel 1 (CDP 1) convened on 6 February 2025 aboard Marine Corps Base
Quantico.  Based on the panel's recommendations, the Marines listed 
in the website link in paragraph 2.b.3. will be offered career 
designation (CD), allowing them to remain on active duty beyond 
their initial service obligation.  
2.  CD Process  
2.a.  The offer of CD is a milestone in a Marine officer’s career.
Commanders are required to counsel those officers who have been
offered CD on the implications of either accepting or declining CD
before that officer responds.  In addition to speaking with their
commander, officers considering declining CD should also reach out
to their PMOS Monitor before declining the offer of CD.
2.b.  Notifications  
2.b.1.  Upon release of this message, Retention and Release 
Officer (RRO) will notify all officers being offered CD via Marine 
Online (MOL).  RRO will also notify commanders of those officers 
being offered CD via Commander’s Messages in MOL.  These messages 
may take 2-3 working days to appear in MOL after the release of 
this message.
2.b.2.  RRO will notify all officers not being offered CD via MOL.
RRO will also notify commanders of officers not being offered CD via
Commander’s Messages in MOL.  Those officers who were not offered CD
are eligible to screen on subsequent panels if their current
Expiration of Active Service (EAS) date supports subsequent
screenings.  These messages may take 2-3 working days to appear in 
MOL after the release of this message.
2.b.3.  A list of all officers offered CD is located on the 
following site:  
https://www.manpower.marines.mil/Manpower-Management/Officer-Assign
ments/#tab/retention-and-release
2.c.  Accepting or Declining
2.c.1.  Officers offered CD must accept or decline the offer by
responding to the MOL message no later than 2359 ET 18 March 2025.  
Officers who do not respond to this offer by the deadline will be 
considered as having declined CD and will execute their existing 
EAS.
2.c.2.  Officers who accept CD will incur a 24-month active duty
service obligation beginning 1 March 2025 and ending 1 March 
2027.  This obligation runs concurrently with, not in place of, any 
existing or future obligation incurred by PCS orders.  Officers 
who accept the offer of CD will have their EAS changed to 
indefinite (00000000) upon acceptance.
2.c.3.  Officers who decline CD will execute their current EAS.
2.d.  Reporting and Administration
2.d.1.  The RRO will report the offer of CD via Unit Diary Marine
Integrated Personnel System (UDMIPS).  Commands will be notified via
the Diary Feedback Report (DFR) to the respective Installation
Personnel Administration Centers (IPACs) per Marine Corps Total 
Force System (MCTFS) Personnel Reporting Instruction User's Manual
(PRIUM), paragraph 41001.  This information will reflect on the 
Officer Data (OFFD) screen in MCTFS.
2.d.2.  The following codes can be used to determine an officer’s
CD status in MCTFS:
             1 - Active Screening on a CDP
             2 - Offered CD
             5 - Not Offered CD
             6 - Accepted CD
             7 - Declined CD / Did Not Respond
2.d.3.  Admin Chiefs, Personnel Chiefs, Personnel Officers,
Manpower Officers, IPACs and G1’s can utilize the OFFD screen via
MCTFS to verify officers who were offered, not offered, accepted, or
declined CD.  This information is resident in the MCTFS record and
can be found as ACDU CAREER DESIG CODE and ACDU CAREER DESIG
CONSIDER DT.
3.  Remedial Career Designation  
3.a.  Under the Commanding General Remedial CD Program, Commanding
Generals are authorized per MCO 1001.65A to nominate for remedial
CD consideration those eligible Marines who were not offered CD on
FY25 CDP1 to the RRO/Manpower Management Officer Assignments Branch 
(MMOA-3).
3.b.  Officers who were not offered CD may request remedial
nomination via the NAVMC 10274 Administrative Action (AA) Form.
AA Forms must be addressed to the MARFOR Commanding General and
endorsed by the officer’s chain of command.
3.c.  Officers who are nominated for CD under the remedial program
must meet the qualifications specified in MCO 1001.65A.  The
nominees for remedial CD are due to MMOA-3 within 30 days of
publication of this message for review and administrative action.
