1.  PURPOSE.  TO PUBLISH A CHANGE TO REF A AND PROVIDE GUIDANCE ON POLICY CHANGE CONCERNING DATE OF RANK (DOR) ADJUSTMENT FOR NEW ENLISTED AR ACCESSIONS PRIOR TO THE RELEASE OF REF REVISION.
2.  BACKGROUND.  CURRENT ACCESSION POLICIES FOR BOTH THE ACTIVE AND RESERVE COMPONENTS ADJUST THE DOR DEPENDING UPON THE LENGTH OF BROKEN SERVICE. HISTORICALLY, ENLISTED MARINES HAVE BEEN ACCESSED ONTO THE AR PROGRAM AT THEIR CURRENT GRADE AND DOR WITHOUT REGARD TO AMOUNT OF ACTIVE SERVICE. THIS PRACTICE HAS HAD AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON AR PROMOTIONS.  WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THIS POLICY CHANGE, HQMC WILL BE ABLE TO PROPERLY SHAPE THE AR ENLISTED INVENTORY TO MEET ESTABLISHED TIME IN SERVICE PROMOTION TARGETS AND IMPROVE AR PROMOTION OPPORTUNITIES.
3.  ACTION. EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, INSERT THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH AS 6.(E) OF THE REF. "E. DATE OF RANK (DOR) ADJUSTMENT FOR ENLISTED MARINES JOINING THE ACTIVE RESERVE (AR) PROGRAM. THE DOR FOR ALL ENLISTED AR ACCESSIONS WILL BE ADJUSTED AS DEFINED BELOW.
(1)  PRIOR ACTIVE COMPONENT MARINES, THE FOLLOWING RULES APPLY:
(A)  MARINES WHO HAVE BEEN DISCHARGED FROM THE ACTIVE COMPONENT
89 DAYS OR LESS RETAIN THEIR CURRENT DOR.
(B)  MARINES WHO HAVE BEEN DISCHARGED FROM THE ACTIVE COMPONENT 90 TO 180 DAYS RETAIN HALF TIME IN GRADE FROM DOR.
(C)  MARINES SEPARATED FROM THE ACTIVE COMPONENT MORE THAN 180 DAYS PRIOR TO ACCESSION INTO THE AR, REFER TO THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH.
(2)  RESERVE COMPONENT MARINES (SMCR/IRR), THE FOLLOWING RULES APPLY:
(A)  RESERVE STAFF SERGEANTS WITH LESS THAN 8.5 YEARS OF ACTIVE SERVICE, DOR WILL BE THE DATE OF ACCESSION TO THE AR PROGRAM.
(B)  RESERVE STAFF SERGEANTS WITH MORE THAN 8.5 YEARS OF ACTIVE SERVICE RETAIN HALF TIME IN GRADE FROM DOR.
(C)  RESERVE SERGEANTS WITH LESS THAN 4 YEARS OF ACTIVE SERVICE, DOR WILL BE THE DATE OF ACCESSION INTO THE AR PROGRAM.
(D)  RESERVE SERGEANTS WITH MORE THAN 4 YEARS OF ACTIVE SERVICE WILL RETAIN HALF OF THEIR TIG.
(E)  RESERVE CORPORALS WITH LESS THAN 2 YEARS OF ACTIVE SERVICE, DOR WILL BE THE DATE OF ACCESSION INTO THE AR PROGRAM.
(F)  RESERVE CORPORALS WITH MORE THAN 2 YEARS OF ACTIVE SERVICE WILL RETAIN HALF OF THEIR TIG.
(G)  RESERVE LANCE CORPORALS AND BELOW DOR WILL BE THE DATE OF ACCESSION TO THE AR PROGRAM.
(3)  REVERSION OF STATUS.  IF A MARINE WAS ACCESSED TO THE AR WITH AN ADJUSTED DOR AND IS SUBSEQUENTLY RELEASED FROM THE AR, WITHOUT BEING PROMOTED OR REDUCED IN RANK, THE MARINE WILL HAVE THEIR ORIGINAL DOR RESTORED UPON SUCH RELEASE."
