1. Marine Corps Recruiting Command (MCRC) requires
high caliber company grade officers for assignment as Recruiting
Station (RS) Executive Officers (XOs), Operations Officers (OpsOs),
and Officer Selection Officers (OSOs) across the nation. A panel
consisting of staff from Manpower Management Officer Assignments
(MMOA) and MCRC will convene in July 2026 to identify and select
officers for assignment during FY27.
2. Eligibility Criteria
2.a. Tour Control Factor (TCF). Officers who will complete the
prescribed tour, on their current set of orders, no later than

this requirement, the officer must contact their Primary MOS (PMOS)
monitor to discuss eligibility and waiver requirements.
2.b. Career timing. Only those officers whose career timing that
supports a full 36-month tour at MCRC are eligible. Those officers
in zone for promotion, selected for, or already promoted to Captain

to be selected to the rank of Major during their MCRC assignment are
ineligible for assignment. Captains with a Date of Rank (DOR) of
1 November 2025 or earlier will not screen as they will not have
the career timing to support a full 36-month tour. Officers who do
not meet this requirement should reach out to their PMOS monitor
to discuss waiver requirements.

does not meet this requirement, the officer must contact their PMOS
monitor to discuss waiver submission requirements.

Manpower and Reserve Affairs, officers selected on the MCRC Company
Grade Panel will be offered career designation in conjunction with
acceptance of orders. These officers will receive a notification
in Marine Online (MOL) and shall accept or decline the offer of
career designation at a date published on the future results
MARADMIN. Officers who decline career designation will be
considered asresigning in lieu of orders and will execute their
current EAS.

accordance with reference (b).

assigned and successfully complete a tour as an RS XO, RS OpsO, or
OSO will have the option of assignment to either Resident Career
Level School (CLS) or the geographic location of their preference.
Officers who will be promoted to Major at the completion of their
tour are ineligible for the incentive for Intermediate Level
