4. SUBMISSION PROCEDURES. PER REF B, REQUESTS FOR DELAY,

CORPS TO ACCOMMODATE THE REQUEST.

EMPLOYER AND CMC (RA) WILL BE NOTIFIED. CMC (RA)
WILL NOTIFY MARFORRES OR CMC (MP) AS APPROPRIATE.
IF A REQUEST IS DENIED, THE MARINE WILL BE MOBILIZED;
IF GRANTED, THE MARINE WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO THE
STANDBY RESERVE, RETIRED RESERVE, OR DISCHARGED
AS APPROPRIATE.
(2) MARINES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR INFORMING THEIR CHAIN
OF COMMAND THAT THEIR EMPLOYER IS REQUESTING AN
EXEMPTION FROM MOBILIZATION. THE MARINE SHOULD

MOBILIZATION EXEMPTION.
5. SUMMARY. THE PROCEDURES OUTLINED ABOVE ARE INTENDED TO
ACCOMMODATE UNIQUE SITUATIONS WHERE A RESERVE MEMBER MAY BE
SERVING IN A NATIONAL DEFENSE, MOBILIZATION SUPPORT OR HOMELAND
DEFENSE/SECURITY POSITION IN A GOVERNMENT OR CIVILIAN CAPACITY.
CMC WILL RECOMMEND DISAPPROVAL OF REQUESTS THAT DO NOT MEET THIS
CRITERIA.//
