Augmentation/Reenlistment of Mobilized Reserve Marines Before Demobilization W/ Change 1

1. IAW REF G, HQMC (MMEA/RAP) BEGAN ACCEPTING 
APPLICATIONS FROM MOBILIZED RESERVE MARINES (SERGEANTS AND BELOW) FOR 
AUGMENTATION INTO THE REGULAR COMPONENT OR FOR SERVICE WITH THE ACTIVE 
RESERVE PROGRAM ON 25 MAY 2005. THE 30-DAY SUBMISSION WINDOW FOR 
MOBILIZED MARINES WAS CONSIDERED TOO RESTRICTIVE FOR THE OPERATING 
FORCES AND HQMC (MMEA/RAP) DUE TO ADMINISTRATIVE AND LOGISTICAL 
PROCESSING CONSTRAINTS. HQMC HAS NOW EXTENDED THE SUBMISSION WINDOW 
TO 90 DAYS PRIOR TO THE INDIVIDUAL MARINE'S DEMOBILIZATION DATE. 
APPLICATIONS WILL BE REVIEWED UPON RECEIPT. IF APPROVED, THE MARINE WILL 
RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL POINT OF ORIGIN FOR MOBILIZATION (SMCR RESERVE 
TRAINING CENTER, IRR OR IMA RESIDENCE) TO DEMOBILIZE PRIOR TO 
AUGMENTATION/ REENLISTMENT INTO THE ACTIVE COMPONENT. DEMOBILIZING AT THE 
ORIGINAL POINT OF ORIGIN ALLOWS THE MARINE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CLOSE OUT 
THE RESERVE RECORD AND TRAVEL CLAIM, ENSURING THAT THE MARINE RECEIVES ALL 
PAY AND ENTITLEMENTS WITHOUT INCURRING UNFUNDED "OUT OF POCKET" EXPENSES. 
PERMANENT CHANGE OF STATION ORDERS (PCSO) WOULD BE EXECUTED FROM THE 
ORIGINAL POINT OF ORIGIN AND THE APPROPRIATE FUNDING WOULD PAY THE COSTS 
OF THAT MOVE FOR THE MARINE. 
2. APPLICATIONS MAY BE SUBMITTED BY ANY CAREER RETENTION SPECIALIST (CRS) 
VIA PRIOR SERVICE ENLISTMENT PROGRAM (PSEP) RELMS USING THE TOTAL FORCE 
RETENTION SYSTEM (TFRS). PSEP CREDIT WILL GO TO THE COMMAND THAT SUBMITS
