Convening of the FY07 Reserve Command Screening Board (RCSB)

1. THE FY07 RESERVE COMMAND SCREENING BOARDS WILL
CONVENE ON 8 AUG 05 THROUGH 19 AUG 05. ELIGIBLE RESERVE COLS, COL
SELECTS, LTCOLS, AND LTCOL SELECTS WILL BE SCREENED FOR COMMAND
BILLETS HAVING PROJECTED CHANGE OF COMMAND DATES FROM SEP 2005
THROUGH MAY 2007. 
2. PURPOSE. PER REF A, THE PURPOSE OF THE RESERVE COMMAND 
SCREENING BOARDS ARE TO ENSURE THAT OUR MARINES RECEIVE THE BEST
POSSIBLE LEADERSHIP AND THAT EVERY ELIGIBLE OFFICER RECEIVES FAIR
AND EQUITABLE CONSIDERATION FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMMAND.
3. CHANGES. ALL ELIGIBLE 75XX LTCOLS IN THE READY RESERVE (RESERVE 
COMPONENT CODES KA, KF, K7, B1-B4, AND K6) WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY 
SCREENED FOR FLYING SQUADRONS ON THE LTCOL BOARD UNLESS THE OFFICER 
DECLINES CONSIDERATION. AR LTCOL 75XX'S WILL ONLY BE CONSIDERED FOR
FLYING SQUADRONS AND WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR NON-FLYING CO 
POSITIONS. 
4. PROCESS. THE BOARDS WILL SELECT FROM A LIST OF ELIGIBLE
COLONELS AND LIEUTENANT COLONELS THOSE OFFICERS WHO ARE BEST AND
MOST FULLY QUALIFIED FOR COMMAND. THE BOARDS WILL SELECT AS
PRIMARIES A NUMBER OF OFFICERS EQUAL TO THE NUMBER OF COMMANDS
AVAILABLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE BOARDS WILL SELECT A SUFFICIENT NUMBER
OF OFFICERS AS ALTERNATES TO MEET COMMAND REQUIREMENTS WHEN OFFICERS
DECLINE OR OTHERWISE CANNOT TAKE COMMAND. THE BOARDS WILL DEVELOP
PROPOSED COMMAND SLATES FOR THE PRIMARY SELECTEES AND FORWARD THEM
WITH THE ALTERNATE LIST TO THE CMC FOR APPROVAL. ONCE THE LIST IS
APPROVED, THE BOARD RESULTS CONTAINING THE PRIMARY SELECTEES WILL BE
ANNOUNCED VIA MARADMIN. ELIGIBLE COLS, COL SELECTS, LTCOLS, AND 
LTCOL SELECTS IN THE READY RESERVE (SMCR, IMA, OR IRR) MAY SUBMIT
APPLICATIONS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE GRADE SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS
OUTLINED IN REF A AND THIS MARADMIN. 
5. BOARD MAKE-UP. THE RESERVE COL COMMAND SCREENING BOARD WILL
CONSIST OF THREE GENERAL OFFICERS. TWO OF THE THREE GENERAL
OFFICERS WILL BE FROM THE RESERVE COMPONENT AND ONE GENERAL OFFICER
WILL BE FROM THE ACTIVE COMPONENT. THESE GENERAL OFFICERS WILL ALSO
PROVIDE THE GENERAL OFFICER MEMBERSHIP FOR THE RESERVE LTCOL COMMAND 
SCREENING BOARD. IN ADDITION TO THESE GENERAL OFFICERS, THE LTCOL 
COMMAND SCREENING BOARD WILL ALSO HAVE TEN COLONELS. THE MIX OF 
COLONELS WILL BE THREE FROM THE ACTIVE COMPONENT AND SEVEN FROM THE 
RESERVE COMPONENT. EACH BOARD MEMBERSHIP WILL, TO THE BEST EXTENT 
POSSIBLE, REPRESENT ALL ELEMENTS OF THE MAGTF. 
6. ELIGIBILITY. THE COMMAND SCREENING PROGRAM USES COMMON
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR BOTH SCREENING AND SLATING. IF AN OFFICER 
SCREENS FOR COMMAND, THAT OFFICER WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR SLATING. THE
FOLLOWING PARAMETERS OF INELIGIBILITY PER REF (A), REF (B) AND THIS
MARADMIN ARE PROVIDED:
A. OFFICERS WITH ESTABLISHED SEPARATION DATES.
B. OFFICERS WITH MANDATORY REMOVAL/RETIREMENT DATES THAT WOULD
PRECLUDE THEM FROM SERVING A COMPLETE 24 MONTH TOUR FROM THE
PROJECTED CHANGE OF COMMAND (PCOC) DATE FOR THE BILLETS LISTED IN
PARAGRAPH 8.
C. OFFICERS WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY HELD COMMAND IN ONE OF THE
DESIGNATED COMMAND BILLETS IN THEIR CURRENT GRADE FOR A PERIOD 
OF NOT LESS THAN 12 MONTHS, ARE CURRENTLY HOLDING ONE OF THE 
DESIGNATED COMMAND BILLETS, OR ARE SLATED FOR COMMAND AS A RESULT
OF A PREVIOUS RESERVE COMMAND SCREENING BOARD, UNLESS THE APPLICANT
IS APPLYING FOR A POST COLONEL COMMAND BILLET OR IS A COL SELECT
CURRENTLY SERVING IN A LTCOL COMMAND SLATED BILLET APPLYING FOR A
COLONEL COMMAND. APPLICANTS APPLYING FOR POST COMMAND BILLETS MUST
HAVE HAD COMMAND AS BOTH A LTCOL AND COL IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE TO 
APPLY FOR THOSE BILLETS IDENTIFIED AS "POST COMMAND."
D. LTCOLS WHO WERE IN OR ABOVE ZONE FOR THE FY06 RESERVE COLONEL
BOARD. THOSE LTCOLS WHO ARE NOT SURE OF THEIR PROMOTION ZONE
STATUS ARE ENCOURAGED TO GO TO THE MMPR WEBSITE TO VERIFY PROMOTION
ELIGIBILITY STATUS.
E. THOSE OFFICERS (COLS AND LTCOLS) UNWILLING OR UNABLE TO ATTEND
MANDATORY TRAINING, MCU COMMANDER'S PROGRAM WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF
ASSUMPTION OF COMMAND AND COMPLETE TRAINING IF SLATED AS CO OF A 
FLYING SQUADRON AS PRESCRIBED IN REFERENCE B.
7. SANCTUARY INELIGIBILITY. FURTHER LIMITATIONS PERTAIN TO 
OFFICERS APPROACHING, OR WHO HAVE OBTAINED, 18 TOTAL YEARS OF ACTIVE 
SERVICE.
A. OFFICERS WHO ARE CURRENTLY MOBILIZED, OR ARE MOBILIZED PRIOR TO
THE CONVENING DATE OF THESE BOARDS, WHO ARE IN SANCTUARY OR ON ORDERS
THAT WILL TAKE THEM INTO SANCTUARY ARE INELIGIBLE TO APPLY. 
B. OFFICERS SLATED FOR COMMAND WHO ARE MOBILIZED AFTER THE CONVENING
OF THE BOARD WITH ORDERS THAT WILL TAKE THEM INTO SANCTUARY MUST MAKE
THE DETERMINATION WHETHER TO ACCEPT COMMAND OR REMAIN ON ORDERS. 
OFFICERS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO REMAIN ON MOBILIZATION ORDERS AND
ACCEPT COMMAND.
C. SLATED OFFICERS WHO HAVE ASSUMED COMMAND AND THEN BECOME ELIGIBLE
FOR SANCTUARY AS A RESULT OF UNIT MOBILIZATION WILL RETAIN COMMAND. 
UPON DEACTIVATION OF THE UNIT, THE OFFICER MUST MAKE THE
DETERMINATION TO RETAIN COMMAND AND REFUSE SANCTUARY OR INVOKE

9. CHANGES OF COMMAND. THE PROJECTED CHANGE OF COMMAND DATES
LISTED ABOVE ARE PRECISELY THAT-PROJECTED. A STANDARD COMMAND TOUR
IS TWO YEARS IN LENGTH, BUT MAY VARY BETWEEN 18 AND 36 MONTHS PER
REF A. A SHORTENED OR EXTENDED COMMAND TOUR IS NOT NECESSARILY A
REFLECTION OF INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE AND ANY ALTERATIONS TO COC
DATES SHOULD BE VIEWED AS BASED ON THE NEEDS OF THE MARINE CORPS. 
10. ALTERNATES. OFFICERS SCREENED AS ALTERNATES BUT NOT SLATED TO A
COMMAND WILL BE PRIORITIZED BY THESE BOARDS. COMMAND VACANCIES WILL 
BE FILLED BY FLEETING UP OFFICERS FROM THIS PRIORITIZED LIST. THE
ALTERNATE LIST IS VALID UNTIL THE CONVENING OF THE NEXT COMMAND
SCREENING BOARD. THE ALTERNATES LIST WILL BE POSTED ON THE RESERVE
AFFAIRS CAREER MANAGEMENT TEAM WEBSITE BY LAST SIX OF SSN AND MOS.
11. DECLINATIONS. 
A. OFFICERS WHO ARE SLATED AND DO NOT DESIRE TO ACCEPT COMMAND
WILL BE REQUIRED TO DECLINE IN WRITING THROUGH THE APPROPRIATE CHAIN
OF COMMAND. IT IS IN THE OFFICER'S BEST INTEREST TO PROVIDE A
LETTER OF DECLINATION TO EXPLAIN ANY EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES. 
THESE LETTERS OF DECLINATION WILL BE PLACED IN THE OFFICER'S OMPF. 
OFFICERS FAILING TO SUBMIT THEIR DECLINATION LETTER PER THIS 
MARADMIN MESSAGE WILL HAVE A LETTER PLACED IN THEIR OMPF DOCUMENTING
THE COMMAND DECLINATION. OFFICERS WHO DECLINE COMMAND WILL NOT BE
CONSIDERED FOR ANY OTHER COMMANDS DURING THE SLATING YEAR.
B. IF OFFICERS ON THE INITIAL SLATE DECLINE COMMAND, OFFICERS
WILL BE SELECTED FROM THE PRIORITIZED ALTERNATE LIST. ALTERNATES
WHO ARE SELECTED TO VACATED COMMANDS WILL ALSO BE REQUIRED TO
FORMALLY DECLINE IF THEY SO CHOOSE. ANY SUBSEQUENT DECLINATIONS 
THROUGHOUT THE SLATING YEAR WILL ALSO BE FILLED FROM THE PRIORITIZED
ALTERNATE SELECTION LIST.
C. NO LETTER WILL BE FILED IN THE OMPFS OF THOSE OFFICERS WHO
APPLY FOR COMMAND, BUT ARE NOT SCREENED.
D. 75XX OFFICERS MAY DECLINE BOARD CONSIDERATION (SEE PARA 12B).
12. APPLICATIONS. 
A. THE COMMAND SCREEN PROCESS IS MOST EFFECTIVE WHEN INTERESTED
OFFICERS LET THEIR DESIRES BE KNOWN TO THE BOARD. THE BOARD MEMBERS
MAKE BETTER DECISIONS WITH INPUT FROM ELIGIBLE OFFICERS AND SLATED
OFFICERS ARE GENERALLY MORE SATISFIED WITH THEIR ASSIGNMENT. THE
IMPORTANCE OF THIS COMMUNICATION CANNOT BE OVERSTATED. TO ENCOURAGE
MORE SUBSTANTIAL COMMUNICATION, CMT AND MANPOWER INFORMATION SYSTEMS
(MI) HAVE DEVELOPED A NEW WEB-BASED APPLICATION. THE NEW WEB
APPLICATION INCORPORATES BILLET CHOICES, RQS INFORMATION, AQS
INFORMATION, QUERIES THE OFFICER ON HIS OR HER DESIRES, AND PULLS
RELEVANT DATA FROM THE MARINE CORPS TOTAL FORCE SYSTEM (MCTFS).
B. COMMAND SCREEN APPLICATION. OFFICERS APPLYING FOR COMMAND 
SHOULD GO TO HTTPS: (DOUBLE BACKSLASH)
LNWEB1.MANPOWER.USMC.MIL/MANPOWER/RA/RCSB.NSF/VALIDATEN LOGIN.
THE LOGIN VALIDATES THE OFFICER'S ELIGIBILITY. IF YOUR 
LOGIN FAILS AND AN ELIGIBILITY QUESTION ARISES, THEN CONTACT THE
POC ON THIS MARADMIN. ONCE COMPLETED, CLICK THE SUBMIT BUTTON. 
THE NEW WEB BASED APPLICATION POPULATES RELEVANT DATA FROM MCTFS, 
ALLOWS FOR RQS AND AQS INFORMATION TO BE SUBMITTED, AND OFFERS 
BILLET PREFERENCE OPTIONS VIA A DROP DOWN BOXES. A CONFIRMATION 
E-MAIL WILL BE SENT TO EACH OFFICER WHO SUCCESSFULLY SUBMITS A 
RESERVE COMMAND SCREEN APPLICATION. 75XXS MAY DECLINE CONSIDERATION 
VIA THE WEBSITE AS WELL. 
C. PHOTOGRAPHS. THE OFFICIAL PHOTO REQUIREMENT CAN BE MET VIA
REFS D, E, AND F. IF AN AUTHORIZED COMBAT VISUAL INFORMATION CENTER 
(CVIC) IS NOT LOCATED NEAR AN APPLICANT'S COMMAND AND SOME OTHER 
MEANS OF TAKING A DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPH IS AVAILABLE, A DIGITAL 
PHOTOGRAPH MAY BE E-MAILED VIA THE COMMAND'S ORGANIZATIONAL MAILBOX 
OR VIA THE APPLICANT'S COMMANDING OFFICER OR EXECUTIVE OFFICER OR, 
IF THE APPLICANT IS IN THE IRR, VIA MOBCOM TO THE FOLLOWING E-MAIL 
ADDRESS: PHOTO@MANPOWER.USMC.MIL. THE PHOTOGRAPH MUST BE PREPARED 
PER THE TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS LISTED IN REF (D). IT IS THE 
COMMAND'S RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THE PHOTOGRAPH HAS ALL THE 
REQUIRED INFORMATION ON THE TITLE BOARD AND TO ENSURE THE 
PHOTOGRAPH HAS NOT BEEN ALTERED. IF THE PHOTOGRAPH IS NOT 
SUBMITTED ACCORDING TO THE REQUIREMENTS LISTED IN REF (D), THE 
APPLICANT WILL BE NOTIFIED THAT THE PHOTOGRAPH HAS BEEN REJECTED. 
OFFICERS HAVE A PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THEIR PHOTOGRAPH
IS SUBMITTED AND RECEIVED BY THESE BOARDS. OFFICERS WHO SUBMIT 
DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHS TO THE OMPF SHOULD CONFIRM RECEIPT OF THE 
DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPH BY CONTACTING CMC (MMSB-20) OR BY CHECKING THE 
MMSB HOMEPAGE. OFFICERS WHO SUBMIT A HARD COPY PHOTOGRAPH MAY 
CONFIRM RECEIPT OF THE HARD COPY PHOTOGRAPH BY CONTACTING THE POC 
E-MAIL ADDRESS IN THIS MARADMIN. 
D. FITNESS REPORTS. COMPLETED FITNESS REPORTS MUST BE
SUBMITTED TO MMSB-32 FOR INCLUSION INTO THE OMPF. INCOMPLETE
FITNESS REPORTS WILL NEITHER BE ACCEPTED, NOR FORWARDED TO THE 
BOARD. THIS WILL INCLUDE THOSE FITREPS MISSING SIGNATURES OR
