SELECTION PANEL//
RMKS/1. THIS MARADMIN PROVIDES INFORMATION ABOUT
THE FY05 RECRUITING STATION COMMANDING OFFICER
(RS CO) SELECTION PANEL. DURING FY05 22 RS COMMANDING OFFICERS WILL
BE ROTATING OFF RECRUITING DUTY. WE ARE NOW IN THE PROCESS OF
SELECTING THEIR SUCCESSORS.
2. RECRUITING DUTY CONTINUES TO BE ONE OF THE MOST DEMANDING
MISSIONS THE MARINE CORPS FACES. DESPITE THE CHALLENGES, WE CONTINUE
TO ENJOY UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS. OUR SUCCESSFUL RECORD IS A TESTAMENT
TO THE HIGH QUALITY OF LEADERSHIP AMONG COMMANDERS ON RECRUITING
DUTY. RECRUITERS ARE CHOSEN FROM AMONG THE BEST MARINE SNCOS AND
NCOS IN THE CORPS. THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEAD THESE REMARKABLE MARINES
IS PROVIDED TO ONLY THE MOST HIGHLY QUALIFIED MAJORS. SELECTION TO
SERVE AS AN RS CO IS A UNIQUE DISTINCTION AND OPPORTUNITY TO SHAPE
THE FUTURE OF OUR CORPS.
3. ON 24 AUG 04, A PANEL OF THREE GENERAL OFFICERS AND THREE
COLONELS WILL MEET AT MCB, QUANTICO, TO SELECT 22 PRIMARY AND 10
ALTERNATE CANDIDATES TO SERVE AS RS COMMANDING OFFICERS. THE
POPULATION TO BE SCREENED CONSISTS OF THE MOST HIGHLY QUALIFIED
MAJORS, BY VIRTUE OF DEMONSTRATED ABILITY TO LEAD MARINES, WHO ARE
ELIGIBLE FOR TRANSFER IN FY05 OR EARLY FY06, WITH A DATE OF RANK OF
JULY 2002 OR LATER. THE GROUND, AVIATION AND CSS MONITORS WILL
SCREEN ELIGIBLE OFFICERS AND BRIEF THE CASES OF THE MOST HIGHLY
QUALIFIED TO THE PANEL, WHO WILL SELECT PRIMARY AND ALTERNATE
CANDIDATES. PRIMARY CANDIDATES WILL BE SLATED AND THE SLATE WILL BE
PRESENTED TO CMC FOR APPROVAL. THE APPROVED SLATE WILL BE PUBLISHED
BY MARADMIN IN LATE SEPTEMBER OR EARLY OCTOBER 2004.//
