ADDITIONALLY, THE BSSRB PROGRAM WILL BE SUSPENDED FOR THE DURATION OF FY15. HOWEVER, IF RETENTION REQUIREMENTS CHANGE THROUGHOUT FY15, THE BSSRB PROGRAM MAY BE REINSTATED. AT THAT TIME, PRIOR SERVICE MARINES WITH LESS THAN A 4-YEAR BREAK IN SERVICE BETWEEN REGULAR COMPONENT CONTRACTS MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A BSSRB, IF AVAILABLE.
2. BACKGROUND. RETAINING OUR COMBAT EXPERIENCED MARINES, AND THEIR COMBAT EXPERIENCED LEADERS, REMAINS ONE OF THE COMMANDANTS'S HIGHEST PRIORITIES AND IS VITALLY IMPORTANT IN SHAPING AND SUSTAINING THE MARINE CORPS.

B. BOATSPACE CAPS WILL ONLY BE EXCEEDED IN EXCEPTIONAL CASES, UPON APPROVAL BY CMC (MMEA-1). REENLISTMENTS APPROVED IN EXCESS OF BOATSPACE CAPS ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO RECEIVE AN SRB PAYMENT.
C. SRB(S) WILL BE SUSPENDED AS BOAT SPACE REQUIREMENTS ARE MET. FOR EXAMPLE, ONCE THE FY15 ZONE C 0659 REQUIREMENT HAS BEEN MET, IF AN ADDITIONAL FY15 ZONE C 0659 MARINE IS ALLOWED TO REENLIST, THAT MARINE WOULD NOT RECEIVE AN SRB.
D. SRB AUTHORITY IS GRANTED FOR SERVICE IN THE PMOS.

MARINES ELIGIBLE FOR PROMOTION TO FIRST SERGEANT/MASTER SERGEANT WHO EXECUTE REENLISTMENT PRIOR TO THE RELEASE OF THE SELECTION MARADMIN WILL RECEIVE AN SRB IF ELIGIBLE. EXAMPLE: A ZONE C 0861 GUNNERY SERGEANT WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR PROMOTION REENLISTS PRIOR TO THE DTG OF RELEASE OF THE SELECTION MARADMIN WILL RECEIVE AN SRB OF 15,750 DOLLARS. ALSO, A ZONE C 0861 GUNNERY SERGEANT WHO IS SELECTED TO MASTER SERGEANT AND REENLISTS AFTER THE DTG OF THE RELEASE OF THE SELECTION MARADMIN WILL RECEIVE AN SRB OF 15,750 DOLLARS. HOWEVER, A ZONE C 0861 GUNNERY SERGEANT WHO IS SELECTED TO FIRST SERGEANT AND REENLISTS AFTER THE DTG OF THE RELEASE OF THE SELECTION MARADMIN IS NO LONGER ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE AN SRB.
E. EXPIRATION OF CURRENT CONTRACT (ECC) ELIGIBILITY. ECC IS TO BE USED VICE END OF ACTIVE SERVICE (EAS) TO DETERMINE SRB-ELIGIBLE REENLISTMENTS. FIRST TERM SRB-ELIGIBLE REENLISTMENTS ARE LIMITED TO THOSE MARINES WITH AN ECC FROM 1 OCT 2014 TO 30 SEP 2015.

F. FLAT RATE SRB. THE PRE-TAX FLAT RATE SRB AMOUNTS AUTHORIZED ARE BASED ON THE MARINE'S REENLISTMENT ZONE, THE MARINE'S GRADE ON THE DATE OF REENLISTMENT, AND THE MOS FOR WHICH THE MARINE IS REENLISTING.
1 SRB AMOUNTS ARE CAPPED AT THE AMOUNT LISTED IN PARAGRAPHS 3J, 3K, AND 3L BELOW.

MARINES MUST REENLIST FOR A MINIMUM OF 48 MONTHS OF OBLIGATED SERVICE TO GET THE FULL SRB. ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS, CMC (MMEA-1) MAY AUTHORIZE REENLISTMENT PERIODS OF LESS THAN 48 MONTHS, THESE MARINES WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR AN SRB AT A PRORATED AMOUNT, AS LONG AS THE REENLISTMENT PERIOD INCLUDES AT LEAST 36 MONTHS OF OBLIGATED SERVICE.
