2.  Selectees with missing documents will be contacted by separate 
correspondence.  Once contacted, selectees will have 10 business days 
to forward any missing documents to the MCRC point of contact (POC) 
email in paragraph 15.  It is recommended to use DoD SAFE for missing 
or required documents as it accepts larger files and provides pickup 
information provided the sender checks the box "Send me an email when 
each recipient picks up the files".  The sender should also check 
their DoD SAFE outbox for file delivery and pickup information.  
Provide the passphrase to open your DOD Safe file in a separate email 
NOT DOD Safe.  Failure to provide the missing documents in the 
allotted timeframe will result in disenrollment from the selected 
program and reapplication to a future board will be required.  
3.  MECEP selectees are not authorized to take additional classes 
after release of this MARADMIN.  MECEP selectees who obtain a 
bachelor’s degree prior to attending a NROTC or affiliated school 
will be disenrolled and must apply to a future ECP board.  
4.  Non-selects.  Marines who were not selected refer to reference 
(a) chapter one.  For more information and career counseling visit 
www.manpower.marines.mil.  Select Manpower Management, then 
Performance Branch, then Records and Performance, then scroll down 
and select Career Counseling, then select Contact Us.  Reasons for 
non-selection cannot be provided by MCRC or the career counselors; 
however, career counselors can evaluate Marines' Official Military 
Personnel Files (OMPF) to help gain insight to improve 
competitiveness for future boards.  Dated endorsements and 
interview board reports must be completed for each board and all 
forms must be dated within one year of board convene date. 
5.  Parent Commands of selected Marines must ensure the following:
     a.  The selectees shall be assigned a Company Grade Officer as 
a mentor within five business days of release of this MARADMIN.  The 
mentors will ensure mentees are aware of and prepared for the 
expectations at OCS, The Basic School (TBS), and life as a Company 
Grade Officer.  Assistance and additional information can be found at 
website www.trngcmd.marines.mil.  Select Units then OCS or TBS. 
     b.  The Marines must notify their primary military occupational 
specialty monitors of their selections and provide the MARADMIN 
number which references their names as selectees.  Marines approved 
to participate in special duty assignments must also notify the 
corresponding SDA monitor and provide the MARADMIN number which 
references their name as selectees.  These Marines will be removed 
from assignment upon notification of the corresponding SDA monitor.   
Marines currently serving on a special duty assignment will continue 
until ordered to OCS.
     c.  The Marine's page 11 entries have been included in the 
Marine's OMPF.
     d.  The Marines have an adjudicated security clearance per 
chapter one of reference (a) or are under the Continuous Evaluation 
Program (CEP) prior to attending OCS.  Marines who do not have an 
adjudicated clearance and are not enrolled in the CEP cannot report 
to OCS.  An updated security clearance letter must be forwarded to 
MCRC POC once the clearance is adjudicated or enrolled in CEP.  The 
letter can be found on the MCRC website at www.mcrc.marines.mil then 
select Staff Sections, then G-3 Operations, then Marine Officer, then 
Naval and Enlisted Programs and scroll over to General Forms.  
     e.  All commands shall ensure their selectees have at least 12 
months until End of Active Service (EAS) as of the date of this 
MARADMIN.  Otherwise, it is the responsibility of the command to 
execute a local extension to cover this timeframe.  No Marine shall 
be issued orders to OCS with fewer than 12 months of Active Duty 
remaining as of the effective date of this MARADMIN.  
6.  POC information.  Marines are directed to send the E-O Select 
POC sheet revised Oct 23 electronically to the MCRC POC within five 
business days of release of this MARADMIN.  The POC sheet can be 
found on the MCRC website referenced in paragraph 5d under General 
Forms.  Marines must submit the Microsoft Word version of POC format.  
An update must be provided if there are changes to the original POC 
sheet.  Marines are directed to provide all information listed on the 
POC sheet.
7.  Selected Active Reserve (AR) Marines.  Must be non-competitively 
augmented to the active component at the time of selection.  To 
accomplish this, the AR select must initiate a Prior Service Enlisted 
Package (PSEP) via a canvassing recruiter to Marine Corps Recruiting 
Command to coordinate the augmentation per reference (d).  Upon 
selection, Marines will be contacted via email by the Prior Service 
Enlistment Program Chief for further amplifying guidance on the PSEP 
package submission. Once augmented, Marines are directed to provide 
an updated Basic Individual Record reflecting the component change to 
the MCRC POC. 
8.  Removals, Declinations, and Deferments.  Formal requests must be 
forwarded in standard naval correspondence format with justification, 
via the administrative endorsing chain of command through the General 
Officer level, to CG, MCRC.  The initial request must be forwarded 
with first endorsement as a courtesy to MCRC POC.  Upon receipt of 
all endorsements, the MCRC POC will route the request to CG, MCRC for 
final disposition.  
9.  Medical.  Marines must be determined medically qualified by BUMED 
for ground physicals, NAMI for aviation physicals per reference (e), 
or medically qualified by MCRC BUMED waiver authority before MCRC 
will schedule them to attend an OCC.  Both BUMED and NAMI require a 
minimum of 30  days upon receipt to process medical documents and 
make a determination.  Marines who require additional medical 
documents will be contacted by the MCRC POC.  Each additional 
submission of medical information forwarded by the Marine will 
restart the 30-day process for medical determinations at BUMED and 
NAMI.  Commands and Marines are not authorized to contact or forward 
any medical documents directly to BUMED or MCRC Medical Reviewers. 
All updated documentation must be forwarded to the MCRC POC for 
tracking purposes.  Deferred Marines will be scheduled by MCRC POC 
to an OCC once a medical determination has been made by either BUMED 
or NAMI.  Marines who sustain an injury prior to reporting to OCS 
must immediately contact the MCRC POC and provide supporting medical
documents to include light duty chit.  Supporting documentation must 
provide the nature of the injury and the expected begin and return 
to full duty date.  Questions pertaining to additional medical 
documents requested by BUMED or NAMI should be directed to the MCRC 
medical reviewers at (571) 559-4660/4664 or email 
sarah.delapena@marines.usmc.mil or donald.irwin@marines.usmc.mil. 
 Questions pertaining to status of BUMED or NAMI medical 
determinations must be directed to MCRC POC.  
10.  Pre-OCS information.  OCS class dates are tentative and subject 
to change.  Every effort will be made to schedule Marines to the 
first available OCS class once the Marine is medically qualified.  
Official notification will be sent via email notification by MCRC 
POC approximately 45-60 days prior to shipping.  Refer to reference 
(f) for OCC report and graduation dates.  Marines who were not 
initially scheduled may be contacted by the MCRC POC up to two weeks 
prior to an OCC class and afforded the opportunity to attend if 
there are additional allocations.  This MARADMIN modifies reference 
(a) Commander's Intent, pertaining to OCS opportunities.  Marines who 
do not attend the first two assigned OCC classes after selection will 
automatically be disenrolled from the program.  
     a.  Marines are directed to use references (g), (h) and the 
MCRC and OCS website listed in paragraph 5a, for specific 
requirements prior to arriving to OCS.  Marines notified of OCC 
attendance will be provided an updated reference (g) and other OCS 
pertinent information once available.  Scheduled Marines' MHS GENESIS 
profiles must be complete no later than 30 days prior to report date.  
Refer to reference (g) for required items.   
     b.  Refer to references (f) for 2026 OCC class dates.  Officers 
in Charge and Marines are responsible to ensure all information on 
the pre-ship checklist is filled out, and it is signed and dated.  
Commands will ensure all Marines are within Marine Corps standards 
and have a first class or higher PFT prior to issuing Defense Travel 
System orders or shipping to OCS.  
     c.  A first class PFT is required for shipping to OCS.   
Pre-ship PFTs must be taken no earlier than 60 days and no later than 
30 days of scheduled OCC report date when possible. Ensure 
information is annotated in the PFT portion of the checklist.  Refer 
to reference (h) for OCS PFT guidance.  Commands must ensure Marines' 
PFT information meets the requirements of reference (h), prior to 
submission of the checklist.  Marines who do not meet the above 
requirements are not eligible to report to the scheduled OCC, and 
this will count as one attempt.  If this is the second attempt to 
attend OCS, the Marine will be disenrolled from their respective 
programs.  
     d.  All "yes" answers to questions under the Candidate Section 
on the checklist that have not been previously disclosed or waived by 
MCRC prior to selection must include the signed applicable forms and 
signed detailed handwritten statements explaining events, to include 
supporting documents per reference (d).
11.  Funding.  MECEP, ECP, and E-JA Marines, notified of attendance 
to an OCC by MCRC POC, will be provided a funding letter along with 
additional guidance.  Scheduled Marines must forward the funding 
letter to their parent commands for issuance of Temporary Additional 
Duty orders to attend OCS.  Questions concerning funding should be 
directed to the email located in the funding letter or the Marine's 
DTS administrators, not MCRC.  AR Marines must submit an updated copy 
of their basic individual record to verify their component change 
before a funding letter can be provided to them.  RECP and MCP-R 
Marines notified of attendance to an OCC must contact Marine Force 
Reserve G-3 Training and Readiness at commercial (504) 697-7372 for 
orders-writing instructions.  
     a. Within 5 business days of receiving funding letters, all 
scheduled Marines are directed to forward their intended mode of 
transportation to OCS on the report date by responding via email to 
the MCRC POC with one of the following choices, regardless of the 
status of their DTS or local command orders:
         (1) “Privately owned vehicle (POV), or;
         (2) “Drop off (must annotate OCS or airport)”, or;
         (3) “Air” and provide the pdf copy of tentative 
flight itinerary to and from OCS from the government travel agency 
(provide updated itinerary once approved).
     b. Upon approval of orders by Training and Education Command 
(TECOM), scheduled Marines are required to provide to the MCRC POC 
no fewer than five business days prior to the report date one of the 
following:
         (1) Marines on non-local funded travel (over 50 miles) must 
provide a copy of approved DTS authorization or DD Form 1610 orders 
with the TECOM line of accounting in accounting classification, or;
         (2) Marines on local non-funded travel (50 miles or less) 
must provide command endorsed orders.
     c. All information identified in above sub-paragraphs a and b 
must be received by MCRC POC within established deadlines established 
via email notification prior to reporting to OCS.  Failure to provide 
the above information once notified can result in removal from the 
scheduled OCS class and possible disenrollment from respective 
programs.
12.  Additional information.
     a.  Marines are considered officer candidates while attending 
OCS and are entitled to pay and allowances commensurate with the 
enlisted grade shown on the original orders to OCS, but not less 
than that prescribed for a sergeant.  Upon completion of training at 
OCS, the original pay and allowances for corporals and below will be 
restored.
     b.  Officer candidates who are dropped from or otherwise do not 
successfully graduate OCS will return to their parent commands or 
directed duty stations.  All drops are conditionally retained in 
their respective programs unless it is the second unsuccessful 
attempt, drop on request, or the Marine is not recommended to return 
to OCS.  MCRC POC will provide official notification of retained 
Marines with next course of action upon receipt of official drop 
package from OCS.   If dropped due to medical, contact your PCM to be 
evaluated for the medical drop reason provided to you by OCS and 
begin documenting the medical process.  Official correspondence will 
provide guidance that is required for resubmission to MCRC to forward 
to BUMED or to be rescheduled for an OCC.  A complete physical is not 
required.  Only medical documentation pertaining to the injury or 
medical condition, from onset to full duty, need to be provided.
     c.  Prior service candidates who are disenrolled by the 
Commanding Officer (CO), OCS for unsatisfactory conduct or because of 
a Drop on Own Request will receive a “not observed” adverse report in 
accordance with Marine Corps Order 1610.7B Chapter 5, paragraph 3. d. 
(6), “Comments pertaining to the Marine Reported On (MRO)’s drop 
from, or failure at, a school because of the MRO’s unwillingness to 
try, cavalier attitude, or unprofessional conduct or ability to meet 
required standards are adverse”.  The CO, OCS, is authorized to 
effect involuntary disenrollment for cause during any phase of the 
training.  The CO, OCS, can recommend an OCS class outside the 
authorized 10-week class for E-O applicants who are dropped from OCS 
however, CG MCRC, is the final adjudicating official.
13.  Post OCS graduation.  
     a.  After graduation from OCS, Marines will report back to their 
parent commands or directed duty stations.  All claims for travel 
reimbursements must be completed within five business days upon 
return to parent commands or directed duty stations.  ECP, RECP, and 
MCP-R will receive their orders for TBS prior to departing OCS to 
execute from their parent commands or directed duty stations.  
     b.  Upon verification of graduation from OCS, receipt of NROTC 
school acceptance letter and the NROTC Unit acceptance letter, as 
outlined in reference (d), MCRC will request Manpower Management 
Enlisted Assignments (MMEA) issue Permanent Change of Station (PCS) 
or Permanent Change of Assignment (PCA) orders for MECEPs.  Marines 
must submit orders requests 90 days in advance of the requested 
report date for PCS orders and 30 days in advance of the report date 
for PCA orders. 
     c.  Due to student seat availability at the NROTC Units, MECEP 
Marines must apply to three separate NROTC or affiliated schools.  
NROTC and affiliated schools can be found at www.netc.navy.mil scroll 
down then select NROTC Schools.  
     d.  Upon submission of both letters, MECEP Marines will receive 
PCS or PCA orders to the NROTC or affiliated school as directed.   
Orders cannot be issued by MMEA if both acceptance letters are not 
received by MCRC.  A hard copy acceptance letter or official 
acceptance email from a school will suffice. Ensure the acceptance 
letters from both the NROTC unit and the school contain the same 
authorized semester start time frame.  Formal requests to attend the 
NROTC or affiliated school outside of directed semester starts per 
reference (d) are not authorized except for PCA moves or extenuating 
medical circumstances.  Supporting medical documentation must be 
submitted for review and approval by MCRC.
     e.  MECEPs are not authorized to initiate any PCS or PCA moves 
prior to being issued orders.  
     f.  MECEPs refer to references (a) and (i) for obligated service 
and pertinent information and ensure the Special Officer Program 
RELM type is used.  Questions pertaining to re-enlistments/extensions 
per reference (i) should be directed to MMEA-1 at (703) 432-9019. 
Enlistment/Reenlistment must be approved prior to executing 
PCS/PCA orders.  MECEPs whose enlistment/reenlistments have not been
 approved and have a limited timeline to execute orders (less than 2 
weeks to report date) may contact MCRC POC for assistance.  
     g.  MECEPs are directed to contact the Marine Officer Instructor 
or Assistant Marine Officer Instructor at their prospective NROTC or 
affiliated school for introductions and other pertinent information.      
     h.  MECEPs are not authorized to attend any school not listed 
under NROTC schools or that annotate Registered Nurse (RN) option 
only or Navy option only on the above website.  
     i.  MECEPs are not authorized to attend graduate schools until 
after completion of TBS.   
     j.  MECEPs are not authorized PCS moves from their original 
NROTC or affiliated school without prior approval from MCRC.  
     k.  Failure to provide both the NROTC or affiliated school and 
NROTC Unit acceptance letters within one year of OCS graduation, will 
result in disenrollment from the program.  
     l.  MECEP Marines who successfully graduate OCS must provide the 
documents listed on the MECEP Inbound Checklist to their assigned 
NROTC or affiliated school upon reporting.  The MECEP Inbound 
Checklist can be found on the MCRC website listed in paragraph 5d 
under General Forms.  
     m.  MECEP Marines must maintain a first class PFT and CFT for 
the entirety of their time in the program.
14.  Post TBS information.  The Commandant's Education Board, which 
selects Marine Officers to attend graduate schools between the grades 
of first lieutenant and major, requires Marines to have qualifying 
calculus and science classes for selection to certain Postgraduate 
School, Air Force Institute of Technology, and Defense Advanced 
Research Projects Agency (DARPA) programs (e.g. Naval Fellowships).  
For this reason, MECEP students are highly encouraged to pursue 
degrees within Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics 
(STEM) curriculums to qualify for this graduate education and 
fellowship opportunities.  Marines who pursue non-STEM degrees are 
likewise encouraged to take calculus I and II and calculus-based 
science classes to qualify for selection to these programs in the 
future.  Refer to reference (k) for more information.
