GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  PURPOSE.  THIS MARADMIN PROVIDES GUIDANCE FOR A RESERVE COMPONENT (RC) MEMBER'S USE OF A WAIVER OF SANCTUARY PROTECTION.
2.  BACKGROUND.  REFS A AND B ARE SERVICE POLICY ON RC MEMBER SERVICE BEYOND 16 YEARS OF ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE.  REF C ANNOUNCED THE SUSPENSION OF SANCTUARY BOARDS FOR FY13.  REF D PROVIDED AMPLIFYING GUIDANCE ON ACTIVE DUTY OPERATIONAL SUPPORT (ADOS) WAIVERS AND INSTITUTED THIRTY-ONE DAY BREAKS BETWEEN ACTIVE DUTY ORDERS.
3.  SITUATION.  WHILE REF C SUSPENDED SANCTUARY BOARDS, RC MARINES THAT HAVE HIGH ACTIVE DUTY TIME (HADT) MAY CONTINUE TO BE ISSUED ACTIVE DUTY ORDERS FOR VALID OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, DEPENDENT ON AVAILABLE RESOURCES AND THE UNIQUE SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS OF THE INDIVIDUAL MARINE.

    A.  HADT INDIVIDUALS VOLUNTEERING FOR ACTIVE DUTY OPERATIONAL SUPPORT (ADOS) ORDERS SHALL FOLLOW THE PROCESS OUTLINED IN CHAPTER TWO OF REF A.
    B.  ALL REQUESTS FOR VOLUNTARY ACTIVE DUTY ORDERS, EXCLUDING ANNUAL TRAINING, THAT WOULD RESULT IN A MEMBER ACCUMULATING IN EXCESS OF 18 YEARS OF ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE MUST:
