Per ref C, Commanders are authorized to extend FY17 STAP, Zone E, and 8999 Marines with an Expiration of Active Service (EAS) between 1 October through 31 May 2017 until June 2017 in order to await a response from Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC) in accordance with the Enlisted Career Force Controls (ECFC) Program.
