a period of 8 years. Conditional enlistment contracts and supporting
documents for OC/AOC/WOC/WOC(J)/PLC will not be executed more than 1
year prior to the reporting date of the class for which application is
made unless specifically authorized by the CMC (MRRO). The CMC
reserves the right to request new enlistment contracts on any application
exhibiting excessive administrative delay prior to receipt at
Headquarters Marine Corps. As a rule of thumb, 90 days are considered
sufficient to process an application from contracting until approval
at Headquarters Marine Corps.
3. Applicants Currently Serving as Marine Corps Reservists will be
Enrolled as Follows:
a. Applicants whose enlistment or term of obligated service will
expire prior to processing and approval of their applications will be
required to execute a conditional enlistment contract in the USMCR for
a period of 8 years. The conditional enlistment contracts, supporting
documents, and new record books will be forwarded in the same manner
as the civilian source application.
b. Applicants who have sufficient obligated service remaining on
their original contract to allow for processing and selection will not
be required to reenlist in the USMCR. Application forms and record
books will be submitted in the usual manner. They will still be
required to execute an 8-year enlistment contract and service
agreement.
c. Those persons whose enlistment or term of service expires
while holding status as officer candidates (approved by the CMC),
either on active duty or inactive duty, will normally be held in an
active candidate status for the convenience of the Government under
the provisions of Title 10, U.S.C. 600. Personnel in this situation
may, if they so desire, be reenlisted in the USMCR at the expiration
of their obligated service.
d. The following is applicable in the case of an individual who
has completed Initial Active Duty for Training requirements and applies
for enrollment in a Reserve officer candidate program:
(1) They will retain the designation of "Selected Marine Corps
Reservists."
(2) Current satisfactory membership in a Reserve officer
candidate program will constitute satisfactory annual Reserve participation
for the purpose of fulfillment of military training obligations.
(3) If an individual is not commissioned, or is disenrolled
from a Reserve officer candidate program, they will be required to
resume the remainder of their Reserve training obligation in the Marine
Reserve.
(4) If an individual is commissioned, the Marine Corps Reserve
Support Center will be notified by the CMC (MRRO-2).
e. The following is applicable when the reservist has not
commenced Initial Active Duty for Training (IADT) as of the time that
the application for enrollment in a Reserve officer candidate program
is made:
(1) The individual will not be ordered to IADT pending action
on the application by the CMC (MRRO).
(2) Upon selection by the CMC, the Recruiting Station (RS)
will discharge the individual for the convenience of the Government,
citing this paragraph and MCO P1900.16C MARCORSEPMAN, paragraph 6403,
as authority. Date of discharge will be the date preceding the date
of enlistment by the OSO. No discharge certificate will be issued.
f. Time spent by the applicant in the enlisted Delayed Entry
Program (DEP) is not creditable for longevity, if the DEP time
commenced on or after 1 January 1985.
g. If an applicant for a Reserve officer candidate program is not
selected by the CMC, the reservist will be ordered to the earliest
period of IADT after receipt of the notification of nonselection.
