FY17 Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) Billet Vacancies (Professor of Naval Science (PNS)/Marine Officer Instructor (MOI))

1.  The purpose of this MARADMIN is to publish a list of NROTC PNS/MOI billet vacancies for FY17.<br>
2.  NROTC units are an essential component in the training of prospective Naval and Marine Officers.  Duty at NROTC units offers the opportunity to mentor, lead, and shape future officers.  Officers desiring to serve in this capacity must be high caliber role models who possess strong academic and physical fitness skills.  MOI duty regularly includes summer augmentation to one of three venues:  OCS, CORTRAMID, or MWTC.  Selections and assignments to NROTC/MOI duty will be made by a panel on or about 14 Sep 16.<br>
3.  Eligibility.  NROTC positions are 8006 (any Unrestricted Officer) billets and are open to all unrestricted military occupational specialties.  Officers must meet the following eligibility criteria to be considered:<br>
3.a.  Grade Eligibility.  Different billets and universities require grades from Captain to Colonel.  Paragraphs 5 and 7 list available billets with the required grade, and special requirements.  Unfortunately, there are no Major/Executive Officer NROTC billets available in FY17.  If you are a Major, Major select, or in zone for promotion on the CY16/FY18 Major Selection Board you are not eligible to apply for FY17 NROTC duty.<br>
3.b.  Time on Station Requirements.  As listed in Ref A, officers who complete their prescribed tour lengths during FY17 will be eligible.<br>
3.c.  Time on Station Waivers.  Officers may request in writing via AA Form to be screened if they have not completed their prescribed tour length by FY17.  Such requests must be endorsed by the first O-6 in the chain of command.  Commands must understand that if an officer is allowed to depart his or her tour early, the billet may be gapped until the officers original rotation date unless inventory supports an early backfill.<br>
3.d.  Academics.  Minimum requirement is a Bachelors Degree with a 3.0 undergraduate grade point average, waiverable at some schools to 2.8 if record is otherwise outstanding.  If a billet requires a Masters Degree, it will be listed under special requirements in paragraphs 5 and 6.<br>
3.e.  Physical Fitness.  High first class PFT recommended.<br>

All requests to decline selection after the release of the selection MARADMIN must be made via naval correspondence with command endorsement.  All requests will be considered in the context of the needs of the Marine Corps for approval or disapproval.
