Villanueva, Travis J 4421 S3C
2. To ensure your Marine is prepared for this next chapter in their career, I highly recommend they be assigned a Company Grade Officer within your command as a mentor. This Marine Officer should assist with a physical training regiment that would prepare the Marine for the rigorous demands of Officer Candidates School (OCS). Additionally, the Marine Officer should mentor the Officer Candidate to ensure they are aware of and prepared for the expectations at OCS, The Basic School (TBS), and life as a Company Grade Officer. Assistance and additional information can be found at website
www.trngcmd.marines.mil. Select Units, then Northeast, then OCS or TBS.
3. Point of contact (POC) information. Marines are directed to send their current POC information electronically to both the MCRC POC listed in paragraph 13 and OCS POC listed in paragraph 14, within one week from release of this MARADMIN. Email subject line must read “(Program) Select POC information”. Marines are directed to use the Enlisted to Officer (E-O) select POC information sample on the MCRC website at
www.mcrc.marines.mil. Select Marine Officer, then Officer Naval/Enlisted Applicants, then go to your respective program information tab for format. Marines must submit the Microsoft Word version of POC format without signature. Any changes to POC sheet from original submission, to include personnel changes, must be forwarded. Marines are directed to provide POC information for each level of their endorsing chain of command as directed on the POC sheet. Marines are also directed to notify their primary military occupational specialty monitor of their selection.
4. Non-selects. Marines who were not selected refer to ref (A) chapter 1. For more information and career counseling, call DSN 278-9241 or commercial (703) 784-9241 or 1-(800)-833-2320 or visit their website at
www.manpower.usmc.mil. Select top requests then Enlisted Career Counselors.
5. Commanders refer to ref (A) chapter 1 for information pertaining to status change or removal recommendations of Marines. Marines who decline selection must forward a formal request, via their endorsing chain of command through the General Officer (GO) level, to CG, MCRC. Commands and Marines are directed to send initial courtesy copy of above requests electronically to MCRC POC until all endorsements are received.
6. Medical. Submission of medical documents alone to MCRC does not qualify a Marine to ship to OCS. Marines must be determined medically qualified by BUMED per ref (F) prior to reporting to OCS. MCRC is responsible for determining Marines medically qualified for OCS via BUMED. Marines are not guaranteed to attend the OCS class with which the board aligns. OCS class dates are tentative and are subject to change. Refer to ref (A) Commanders Intent pertaining to OCS opportunities. MCRC POC will notify Marines of their medical qualification status for OCC 224 once available by BUMED.
7. Pre OCS information.
a. Commanders and Marines are directed to use the OCS website referenced in paragraph 2 of this bulletin. Select the "Candidates Information" tab to prepare for OCS, and for pertinent OCS information.
b. Marines are directed to submit both the pre-ship checklist and 30 day medical questionnaire, located on the MCRC website, to the MCRC POC by 7 December 2016 for OCC 224. Commands and Marines ensure all information on pre-ship checklist is completely filled out to include signatures. Both documents are required by deadline.
c. Physical Fitness Tests (PFT) must be taken within 45 days of OCC convene date and annotated on question 28 of checklist. If question 29 on the checklist is marked "no", Commanders must provide supporting documentation as directed per ref (B), chapter 2.
d. All "yes" answers to questions 9-12 and 14 on the checklist that have not been previously disclosed or waived by MCRC must include a signed detailed handwritten statement explaining events to include supporting documentation (if applicable) per ref (C). If question 16 is "no" please ensure the Marine Corps Total Force System is updated to reflect degree obtained. A copy of degree or transcript is not required upon checking into OCS.
e. Marines who have a security clearance should mark question 34 as NA, unless a new clearance has been opened and accepted by the Office of Personnel Management.
8. Funding. Marines who are found medically qualified will receive a funding letter from the MCRC POC, to provide to their parent command to issue Temporary Additional Duty orders to attend OCS. Once Marines receive funding letters, they are directed to forward electronically, a complete flight itinerary if flying, or respond "privately owned vehicle" (POV) or "drop off to OCS by (relationship to candidate)", and provide a copy of the Training and Education Command approved defense travel system orders with itemized printout of daily costs to MCRC POC. All information is required prior to reporting to OCS.
9. Post OCS graduation. After graduation from OCS, Marines will report back to their parent command. All travel claims for travel reimbursement must be completed upon return to parent command or directed duty station. Upon verification of graduation from OCS and receipt of NROTC affiliated school acceptance letter with directed semester start outlined in ref (C), the MCRC POC will request permanent change of station (PCS) or permanent change of assignment (PCA) orders for MECEPs. MECEPs are not authorized to initiate any PCS or PCA moves before being issued orders. Upon submission of a NROTC affiliated school acceptance letter, MECEPs will receive PCS orders at least 60 days before the NROTC affiliated school report date. No exceptions will be made for this policy except for PCA moves. ECPs will receive PCS orders prior to departing OCS to execute from their parent command or directed duty station to TBS.

MECEPs are directed to contact the Marine Officer Instructor or Assistant Marine Officer Instructor at their desired NROTC affiliated school listed at website
www.nrotc.navy.mil. MECEPs are not authorized to attend graduate school. MECEPs are not authorized PCS moves to transfer to another college or university from which originally ordered, unless within the same consortium. MCRC approved moves will be personally funded by the MECEP Marine. Only NROTC affiliated schools will be accepted. Waivers to attend non-NROTC affiliated schools will not be entertained.
