GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. PURPOSE. THIS MARADMIN UPDATES ELIGIBILITY FOR OFFICERS APPLYING FOR THE CIPP.
2. BACKGROUND. REF (A) ESTABLISHED THE MARINE CORPS CIPP WHICH ALLOWS ACTIVE COMPONENT OFFICERS AND ENLISTED MARINES TO BE TEMPORARILY RELEASED FROM ACTIVE DUTY AND APPOINTED OR REENLISTED INTO THE INDIVIDUAL READY RESERVE (IRR).
3. PER SECTION 14317 OF REF (B), AN OFFICER WHO HAS BEEN SELECTED FOR PROMOTION TO THE NEXT HIGHER GRADE MAY, UPON TRANSFER TO THE IRR, HAVE THAT SELECTION TRANSFERRED FROM THE ACTIVE DUTY LIST (ADL) TO THE RESERVE ACTIVE STATUS LIST (RASL). HOWEVER, REF (B) DOES NOT PROVIDE AUTHORIZATION TO DELAY THE PROMOTION WHILE PARTICIPATING IN CIPP OR TO TRANSFER SELECT STATUS BACK TO THE ADL FROM THE RASL. THEREFORE, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, OFFICERS SELECTED FOR PROMOTION MAY NOT PARTICIPATE IN CIPP UNTIL AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN PROMOTED TO THEIR SELECTED GRADE.
4. EXAMPLE. CAPTAIN LEATHERNECK HAS BEEN SELECTED FOR MAJOR ON THE FY15 MAJOR PROMOTION BOARD AND BASED ON HER SELECT NUMBER, SHE WILL LIKELY BE PROMOTED TO MAJOR IN JANUARY 2015. CAPT LEATHERNECK WISHES TO APPLY FOR CIPP AND DEPART ACTIVE DUTY AND TRANSFER TO THE IRR DURING JULY 2014 FOR A 3 YEAR INTERMISSION AND THEN RETURN TO ACTIVE DUTY IN JULY 2017. HOWEVER, CAPT LEATHERNECK MAY NOT DEPART ACTIVE DUTY TO PARTICIPATE IN CIPP PRIOR TO BEING PROMOTED TO MAJOR BECAUSE: 1) SHE IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR PROMOTION WHILE IN THE IRR AND PARTICIPATING IN CIPP; 2) THERE IS NO LEGAL AUTHORITY FOR THE USMC TO DELAY HER ACTIVE DUTY PROMOTION UNTIL HER RETURN TO ACTIVE DUTY; AND 3) THERE IS NO LEGAL AUTHORITY TO TRANSFER HER SELECTION TO MAJOR BACK TO THE ADL FROM THE RASL UPON HER RETURN TO ACTIVE DUTY. THEREFORE, CAPT LEATHERNECK CAN ELECT TO DEPART FOR CIPP IN FEBRUARY 2015 (AFTER PROMOTION TO MAJOR) OR LATER, OR REAPPLY FOR CIPP AT A LATER DATE ONCE PROMOTED.
