FIRST TERM MARINES (ZONE A) WHO REENLIST ON OR AFTER 1 JUL 2011 MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE FY12 SRB PROGRAM. CAREER MARINES (ZONE B AND C) WHO REENLIST ON OR AFTER 1 OCTOBER 2011 MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE FY12 SRB PROGRAM. THIS WILL INCLUDE:
A. ANY REGULAR COMPONENT FIRST TERM OR CAREER MARINE WITH AN END OF CURRENT CONTRACT (ECC) FROM 1 OCT 2011 TO 30 SEP 2012.
B. PRIOR SERVICE REGULAR COMPONENT MARINES WHO REENLIST BACK INTO THE ACTIVE COMPONENT WILL ONLY BE ALLOWED TO REENLIST AFTER 1 JAN 2012. ADDITIONALLY, THE BSSRB PROGRAM WILL BE SUSPENDED FOR THE DURATION OF FY12. HOWEVER, IF RETENTION REQUIREMENTS CHANGE THROUGHOUT FY12, THE BSSRB PROGRAM MAY BE REINSTATED. AT THAT TIME,PRIOR SERVICE MARINES WITH LESS THAN A 4 YEAR BREAK IN SERVICE BETWEEN REGULAR COMPONENT CONTRACTS MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A BSSRB IF AVAILABLE.
2. BACKGROUND. RETAINING OUR COMBAT EXPERIENCED MARINES, AND THEIR COMBAT EXPERIENCED LEADERS, IS ONE OF THE COMMANDANT'S HIGHEST PRIORITIES AND IS VITALLY IMPORTANT IN SHAPING AND SUSTAINING THE MARINE CORPS. SPECIFIC CHANGES FROM THE FY11 SRB AND BSSRB PROGRAMS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
A. FY12 FIRST TERM MARINES WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR FY12 SRB AMOUNTS CONTAINED WITHIN THIS MARADMIN FOR REENLISTMENTS OCCURRING ON OR AFTER 1 JUL 2011. FY12 CAREER MARINES WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR FY12 SRB AMOUNTS CONTAINED WITHIN THIS MARADMIN FOR REENLISTMENTS OCCURRING ON OR AFTER 1 OCT 2011.
B. MARINES MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE AN MCC SRB KICKER BASED ON THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA CONTAINED WITHIN PARA 6 BELOW. MARINES THAT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS PROGRAM WILL BE AUTHORIZED A 25,000 DOLLAR SRB KICKER IN ADDITION TO ANY PMOS SRB AUTHORIZED. STAFF SERGEANT (SELECTS) ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THIS PROGRAM.
3. ACTION. COMMANDING OFFICERS, SERGEANTS MAJOR, CAREER PLANNERS, AND OTHER MARINE CORPS LEADERS WILL ENSURE THEIR MARINES FULLY UNDERSTAND THE STIPULATIONS OF THIS MARADMIN. REFS A THROUGH C PROVIDE FURTHER GUIDELINES FOR THE REENLISTMENT OF MARINES AND PROVISIONS FOR SRB PAYMENT.
4. KEY ELEMENTS OF THE FY12 SRB PROGRAM.
A. THE FY12 SRB PROGRAM IS ONLY AVAILABLE TO MARINES THAT HAVE AN FY12 ECC AS DEFINED IN PARA 1.A OF THIS BULLETIN. MARINES WHO HAVE AN FY13 ECC AND REENLIST DURING FY12 ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE AN SRB, UNLESS AUTHORIZED BY CMC (MPP-20).
B. BOATSPACE CAPS APPLY TO FY12 FTAP MARINES. BOATSPACE CAPS WILL ONLY BE EXCEEDED IN EXCEPTIONAL CASES, UPON APPROVAL BY CMC (MMEA-6), OR WHEN THE MOS REQUIREMENT FAR EXCEEDS THE MOS INVENTORY. ONLY FY12 FTAP REENLISTMENTS WILL COUNT TOWARD THE FY12 FTAP MISSION.
C. SRB(S) WILL BE SUSPENDED AS RETENTION REQUIREMENTS ARE MET. CAREER MARINES MAY SUBMIT FOR REENLISTMENT WITHOUT REGARD TO RETENTION REQUIREMENTS, BUT REENLISTMENT AUTHORITY WILL BE WITHOUT SRB ONCE RETENTION REQUIREMENTS ARE MET. FOR EXAMPLE, ONCE THE FY12 ZONE C 2631 REQUIREMENT HAS BEEN MET, FY12 ZONE C CAREER MARINES WHO REENLIST ABOVE THE REQUIREMENT WILL RECEIVE NO SRB.
D. SRB AUTHORITY IS GRANTED FOR SERVICE IN THE PMOS. AS OF THE DTG OF THE MARADMIN ANNOUNCING APPROVED SELECTIONS TO FIRST FIS SERGEANT/MASTER SERGEANT, MARINES SELECTED TO FIRST SERGEANT WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE AN SRB. MARINES ELIGIBLE FOR PROMOTION TO FIRST SERGEANT/MASTER SERGEANT WHO EXECUTE REENLISTMENT PRIOR TO THE RELEASE OF THE SELECTION MARADMIN WILL RECEIVE AN SRB IF ELIGIBLE.
EXAMPLE: A ZONE C 7257 GUNNERY SERGEANT WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR PROMOTION REENLISTS PRIOR TO THE DTG OF RELEASE OF THE SELECTION MARADMIN WILL RECEIVE AN SRB OF 15,000 DOLLARS. A ZONE C 7257 GUNNERY SERGEANT WHO IS SELECTED TO MASTER SERGEANT AND REENLISTS AFTER THE DTG OF THE RELEASE OF THE SELECTION MARADMIN WILL RECEIVE AN SRB OF 15,000 DOLLARS. A ZONE C 7257 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 AN SRB.
E. EXPIRATION OF CURRENT CONTRACT (ECC) ELIGIBILITY. ECC IS TO BE USED VICE END OF ACTIVE SERVICE (EAS) TO DETERMINE SRB-ELIGIBLE REENLISTMENTS. FIRST TERM SRB-ELIGIBLE REENLISTMENTS ARE LIMITED TO THOSE MARINES WITH AN ECC FROM 1 OCT 2011 TO 30 SEP 2012. CAREER FORCE SRB-ELIGIBLE REENLISTMENTS ARE LIMITED TO MARINES WHO HAVE REENLISTED AT LEAST ONCE AND FOR THOSE MARINES WITH AN ECC FROM 1 OCT 2011 TO 30 SEP 2012.
F. FLAT RATE SRB. THE PRE-TAX FLAT RATE SRB AMOUNTS AUTHORIZED ARE BASED ON THE MARINE'S REENLISTMENT ZONE, THE MARINE'S GRADE ON THE DATE OF REENLISTMENT, AND THE MOS FOR WHICH THE MARINE IS REENLISTING.
G. ADDITIONAL OBLIGATED SERVICE AND COMPUTATION OF SRB. THE SRB DOLLAR AMOUNT IS IMPACTED BY THE NUMBER OF MONTHS OF ADDITIONAL OBLIGATED SERVICE FOR WHICH THE MARINE REENLISTS. ADDITIONAL OBLIGATED SERVICE IS DEFINED AS THE TIME BETWEEN THE MARINE'S ECC AT TIME OF REENLISTMENT AND THE ECC OF THE MARINE'S NEW CONTRACT IMMEDIATELY AFTER REENLISTMENT. MARINES MUST REENLIST FOR A MINIMUM OF 48 MONTHS OF ADDITIONAL OBLIGATED SERVICE TO GET THE FULL SRB. MARINES WHO REENLIST FOR 36 TO 47 MONTHS OF ADDITIONAL OBLIGATED SERVICE ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A REDUCED SRB. MARINES WHO REENLIST FOR LESS THAN 36 MONTHS OF ADDITIONAL OBLIGATED SERVICE ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR ANY SRB. ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS CMC (MMEA-6) MAY AUTHORIZE REENLISTMENT PERIODS OF LESS THAN OR GREATER THAN 48 MONTHS, THESE MARINES WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR AN SRB AT A PRORATED AMOUNT, AS LONG AS THE REENLISTMENT PERIOD INCLUDES AT LEAST 36 MONTHS OF ADDITIONAL OBLIGATED SERVICE. MARINES WILL RATE THE BONUS APPLICABLE TO THEIR SRB ZONE, THEIR GRADE, AND THEIR MOS AS AUTHORIZED IN THIS MARADMIN.ANY PORTION OF A MONTH WILL BE CONSIDERED A FULL MONTH WHEN COMPUTING UNUSED OBLIGATED SERVICE REMAINING ON A MARINES CURRENT CONTRACT.
G.1 EXAMPLE: A MARINE WHOSE ECC IS 15 MAR 12 AND IS REENLISTING WITH AN EFFECTIVE DATE OF 14 MAR 12 WILL BE REQUIRED TO REENLIST FOR 49 MONTHS IN ORDER TO RATE THE FULL SRB PAYMENT.
G.2 EXAMPLE: A MARINE WHOSE ECC IS 15 MAR 12 AND IS REENLISTING WITH AND EFFECTIVE DATE OF 16 MAR 12 WILL BE REQUIRED TO REENLIST FOR 48 MONTHS IN ORDER TO RATE THE FULL SRB PAYMENT. MARINES REENLISTING FOR OTHER THAN 48 MONTHS ADDITIONAL OBLIGATED SERVICE WILL RATE THE NUMBER OF MONTHS ADDITIONAL OBLIGATED SERVICE/48 MONTHS X THE SRB AUTHORIZED ROUNDED TO THE NEAREST DOLLAR.
G.3 EXAMPLE: A 0511 CPL IN ZONE A DECIDES TO REENLIST FOR 39 MONTHS ADDITIONAL OBLIGATED SERVICE, HIS ECC IS 15 DEC 11 PRIOR TO REENLISTMENT, AND AFTER REENLISTMENT HIS ECC IS 15 MAR 15. THE SRB AUTHORIZED WILL BE AS FOLLOWS: 39 MONTHS/48 MONTHS X 9,000 DOLLARS EQUALS 7,313 DOLLARS.
