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.

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. 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.

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. 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 these 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.
