GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. DURING THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, MARINES HAVE
PARTICIPATED IN SEVERAL LARGE-SCALE SURVEY EFFORTS.  THE DOD-WIDE
EXIT SURVEY, AS WELL AS BOTH THE MARINE CORPS EXIT AND FIRST
TERM EAS SURVEY, HAVE PROVIDED VALUABLE INSIGHT INTO THE ATTITUDES
AND PERCEPTIONS OF MARINES, GIVING SENIOR LEADERS BETTER
INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO MARINES AND HOW CAREER
DECISIONS ARE MADE. 
2. TO BUILD UPON THE SUCCESS OF THESE EFFORTS, THE FY05 MARINE
CORPS EXIT SURVEY (MCES) WILL BE CONDUCTED ON-LINE BEGINNING
01 JAN 05.  COMMANDERS WILL ENSURE THAT ALL MARINES VOLUNTARILY
SEPARATING BEFORE 30 SEP 05 COMPLETE AN EXIT SURVEY BEFORE
DETACHING.
3. THE SURVEY HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO BE TAKEN IN CONJUNCTION WITH
A NORMAL GARRISON CHECKOUT PROCESS.  THIS INSTRUMENT IS TO
PROVIDE NO ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN FOR THOSE MARINES CURRENTLY
DEPLOYED.
4. THE ONLINE SURVEY CAN BE FOUND AT
HTTP:WWW.TOTALSURVEY.NET/MARINES/MAR01.HTM OR FOLLOW THE LINK
TO THE EXIT SURVEY FROM THE MANPOWER HOMEPAGE
(WWW.MANPOWER.USMC.MIL).  THE SURVEY IS EASY TO USE AND SHOULD
TAKE NO MORE THAN 20 MINUTES TO COMPLETE.  UPON COMPLETION
MARINES MUST PRINT THE LAST PAGE OF THE SURVEY CONTAINING A
DATE-TIME STAMP AND PRESENT THAT TO THERE COMMANDING OFFICER
AT THEIR EXIT INTERVIEW.
5. COMPREHENSIVE, HONEST SURVEY PARTICIPATION BY ALL MARINES
IS ESSENTIAL TO OUR ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND THE MOTIVATIONS OF
OUR MARINES AND TO INFLUENCE RETENTION SUCCESS. 
6. THIS BULLETIN IS NOT APPLICABLE TO THE MARINE CORPS RESERVE.
