MARINE CORPS RESERVE OFFICER CANDIDATE PROGRAM
2200. ENLISTMENT REQUIREMENTS
SECTION 2: BASIC REQUIREMENTS
1. General. Applicants for all MCR officer candidate programs must
meet the following requirements:
a. Be a citizen of the United States at the time they make
application.
b. Be of unquestionable moral integrity.
c. Must not have been convicted by civil authorities (foreign or
domestic) of any offense which is felonious in nature, nor have had
action taken which is tantamount to a finding of guilty of an offense
for which the maximum penalty under the Uniform Code of Military
Justice is death or confinement for 1 year or more; or where the
offender is adjudged a juvenile delinquent, wayward minor, or youthful
offender, or is placed on probation or punishment in any way as the
result of an offense. If the offense is not listed in the Manual for
Courts-Martial Table of Maximum Punishments, or is not closely related
to an offense listed therein, the maximum punishment authorized by the
U.S. Code, or the District of Columbia Code, whichever is lesser,
applies.
d. Applicants are not eligible for enlistment, appointment, or
commissioning if they have:
(1) Ever used any nonprescribed or illegal drug.
(2) Ever been convicted of or been the subject of action tantamount
to conviction of a drug abuse offense.
(3) Ever been psychologically or physically dependent upon any
drug or alcohol.
(4) Ever been a trafficker of illegal drugs. Trafficking is
defined as the commercial and wrongful sale or transfer of a
controlled substance for profit, and/or the wrongful possession of a
controlled substance with the intent to sell or transfer it for profit.
Waivers may be granted for exceptionally well qualified applicants in
category (1), (2), or (3) on a case-by-case basis when the preservice
abuse or dependency was resolved in such a way that there is little
likelihood that such behavior will recur.
e. Must not have a claim pending for, or be drawing, a pension,
disability allowance or compensation, retired pay from the Government
of the United States.
f. Applicants for student pilot programs must not have been
previously separated from any military flight training program of any
branch of the service. Attendance is defined as reporting for training
regardless of time spent in training. An applicant who has failed
to complete a flight training program may apply for a nonaviation
commission.
g. Must be ineligible for exemption from assignment to duty in a
combat area as a "Sole Survivor." Applicants who are so classified
may be considered, provided appropriate waivers are executed.
(paragraph 2210).
h. Must meet such other requirements as may be stated elsewhere
in this Manual.
2. Civilian. Applicants for any MCR officer candidate program must
be basically eligible for enlistment in the USMCR per Volume IV MPPM,
