clearance and are not enrolled in the CEP cannot report to OCS.  An 
updated security clearance letter must be forwarded to MCRC POC once 
the clearance is adjudicated or enrolled in CEP.  The letter can be 
found on the MCRC website at www.mcrc.marines.mil then select Staff 
Sections, then G-3 Operations, then Marine Officer, then Naval and 
Enlisted Programs and scroll over to General Forms.  
     e.  All commands shall ensure their selectees have at least 12

be issued orders to OCS with fewer than 12 months of Active-Duty 
remaining as of the effective date of this MARADMIN.  
6.  Required information.  Marines are directed to provide the 
following documents electronically within 5 days of release of this

selectees are responsible for initiating a Prior Service Enlistment 
Program (PSEP) via a canvassing recruiter to Marine Corps Recruiting 
Command.  Upon selection, it is recommended to contact the PSEP Chief 
at MCRC_Enlisted_Operations@usmc.mil for further amplifying guidance 
on the PSEP package. Once augmented, Marines are directed to provide 
an updated Basic Individual Record reflecting the component change to 
the MCRC POC. 
8.  Removals and Declinations.  Formal requests must be forwarded in 
standard naval correspondence format with justification, via first 
level Commander to CG, MCRC.  All requests must be forwarded to the 
organizational mailbox in paragraph 15.  Upon receipt, the MCRC POC 
will route the request to CG, MCRC for final disposition.  
9.  Medical.  Marines must be determined medically qualified by BUMED 
for ground physicals or NAMI for aviation physicals per reference 
(d), before MCRC will schedule them to attend an OCC.  Both BUMED and 
NAMI require a minimum of 30 days upon receipt to process medical 
documents and make a determination.  Marines who require additional 
medical documents will be contacted by the MCRC POC.  Each additional
submission of medical information forwarded by the Marine will 
restart the 30-day process for medical determinations at BUMED and 
NAMI.  Commands and Marines are not authorized to contact or forward 
any medical documents directly to BUMED or MCRC Medical Reviewers. 
All updated documentation must be forwarded to the MCRC POC via the 
organizational email for tracking purposes.  Marines who sustain an 
injury prior to reporting to OCS must immediately contact the MCRC 
POC and provide supporting medical documents to include light duty 
chit.  Supporting documentation must provide the nature of the injury 
and the expected begin and return to full duty date.  Questions 
pertaining to additional medical documents requested by BUMED or NAMI
should be directed to the MCRC medical reviewer at (667)893-0889/0876 
or email sarah.delapena@marines.usmc.mil.  Questions pertaining to 
status of BUMED or NAMI medical determinations must be directed to 
MCRC POC.  
10.  Pre-OCS information.   Refer to MCRC website at 
www.mcrc.marines.mil/Marine-Officer/Officer-Naval-Enlisted-Applicants 
then select OCS-TBS tab for OCC report and graduation dates.  OCS 
class dates are tentative and subject to change.  Every effort will 
be made to schedule Marines to the first available OCS class once the 
Marine is medically qualified.  Official notification will be sent 
via email notification by MCRC POC approximately 45-60 days prior to 
shipping.  Marines who were not initially scheduled may be contacted 
by the MCRC POC up to two weeks prior to an OCC class and afforded 
the opportunity to attend if there are additional allocations.  This 
MARADMIN modifies reference (a) Commander's Intent, pertaining to OCS 
opportunities.  Marines who do not complete OCS within a year of 
selection (MARADMIN selection release date) will automatically be 
disenrolled from the program no matter the justification and will 
have to reapply to a future board.  
     a.  Marines are directed to use reference (e) and the OCS 
website under candidates to prepare and for specific requirements for 
OCS.  
     b.  Scheduled Marines' MHS GENESIS profiles must be complete no 
later than 30 days prior to report date.

PFTs must be taken no earlier than 60 days and no later than 30 days 
of scheduled OCC report date when possible.
     d.  Commands will ensure all Marines are within Marine Corps 
standards and have a first class PFT prior to issuing Defense Travel 
System orders or shipping to OCS.  
     e.  All "yes" answers to questions under the Candidate Section 
on the checklist that have not been previously disclosed or waived by 
MCRC prior to selection must include the signed applicable forms and 
signed detailed handwritten statements explaining events, to include 
supporting documents per reference (c).
11.  Funding.  MECEP, ECP, and E-JA Marines, notified of attendance 
to an OCC by MCRC POC, will be provided with a funding letter along 
with additional guidance.  Scheduled Marines must forward the funding 
letter to their parent commands for issuance of Temporary Additional 
Duty orders to attend OCS.  Questions concerning funding should be 
directed to the email located in the funding letter or the Marine's 
DTS administrators, not MCRC.  AR Marines must submit an updated copy 
of their basic individual record to verify their component change 
before a funding letter can be provided to them.  RECP and MCP-R 
Marines notified of attendance to an OCC must contact Marine Force 
Reserve G-3 Training and Readiness at commercial (504) 697-7372 for 
orders-writing instructions.  
     a. Within 5 business days of receiving funding letters, all 
scheduled Marines are directed to forward their intended mode of 
transportation to OCS on the report date by responding via email to 
the MCRC POC with one of the following choices, regardless of the 
status of their DTS or local command orders:
          (1) "Privately owned vehicle (POV), or;
          (2) "Drop off (must indicate OCS or airport as both are 
options)", or;
          (3) "Air" and provide the pdf copy of tentative flight 
itinerary to and from OCS from the government travel agency (provide 
updated itinerary once approved).  Those travelling by AIR but will 
be a DROP OFF or POV to and from OCS do not need to provide flight 
itinerary. (flight itinerary is only required for those using OCS 
shuttle service to and/or from OCS). 
     b. Upon approval of orders by Training and Education Command 
(TECOM), scheduled Marines are required to provide to the MCRC POC 
no fewer than five business days prior to the report date one of the 
following:
          (1) Marines on non-local funded travel (over 50 miles) must 
provide a copy of approved DTS authorization or DD Form 1610 orders 
with the TECOM line of accounting in accounting classification and 
command endorsed orders, or;
          (2) Marines on local non-funded travel (50 miles or less) 
must provide command endorsed orders.
     c. All information identified in above sub-paragraphs a and b 
must be received by MCRC POC within established deadlines established 
via email notification prior to reporting to OCS.  Failure to provide 
the above information once notified can result in removal from the 
scheduled OCS class and possible disenrollment from respective 
programs.
12.  Additional information.
     a.  Marines are considered officer candidates while attending 
OCS and are entitled to pay and allowances commensurate with the 
enlisted grade shown on the original orders to OCS, but not less than 
that prescribed for a sergeant.  Upon completion of training at OCS, 
the original pay and allowances for corporals and below will be 
restored.
     b.  Officer candidates who are dropped from or otherwise do not 
successfully graduate OCS will return to their parent commands or 
directed duty stations.  MCRC POC will provide an official OCS drop 
notification letter with next course of action upon receipt of 
official drop package from OCS.  Medical drops should contact their 
PCM to be evaluated for the medical drop reason provided to them by 
OCS Medical and begin documenting the medical process.  Official 
correspondence will provide guidance that is required for 
resubmission to MCRC to forward to BUMED or to be rescheduled for an 
OCC.  A complete physical is not required.  Only medical 
documentation pertaining to the injury or medical condition, from 
onset to full duty, need to be provided.
     c.  Prior service candidates who are disenrolled by the 
Commanding Officer (CO), OCS for unsatisfactory conduct or because of 
a Drop on Own Request will receive a "not observed" adverse report in 
accordance with Marine Corps Order 1610.7B Chapter 5, paragraph 3. d. 
(6), "Comments pertaining to the Marine Reported On (MRO)'s drop 
from, or failure at, a school because of the MRO's unwillingness to 
try, cavalier attitude, or unprofessional conduct or ability to meet 
required standards are adverse".  The CO, OCS, is authorized to 
effect involuntary disenrollment for cause during any phase of the 
training.  
13.  Post-OCS information.  
     a.  After graduation and or commissioning from OCS, Marines will 
report back to their parent commands or directed duty stations.  All 
claims for travel reimbursements must be completed within five 
business days upon return to parent commands or directed duty 
stations.  
     b.  ECP, RECP, and MCP-R will receive their TBS orders prior to 
departing OCS to execute from their parent commands or directed duty 
stations.  
     c.  MECEPs are required to submit a "Special Officer Programs" 
RELM request type in TFRS to obligate the required service.  Orders 
will not be funded until Marines have accepted 72-months of obligated 
service.  Refer to references (f) and (g) for obligated service and 
pertinent information.  Questions pertaining to re-enlistments/
extensions per reference (f) should be directed to MMEA-1 at (703) 
432-9019. MECEPs whose enlistment/reenlistments have not been 
approved and have a limited timeline to execute orders (less than 2 
weeks to report date) may contact MCRC POC for assistance.  
     d.  Upon verification of graduation from OCS, receipt of NROTC 
school acceptance letter and the NROTC Unit acceptance letter, as 
outlined in reference (c), MCRC will request Manpower Management 
Enlisted Assignments (MMEA) issue Permanent Change of Station (PCS) 
or Permanent Change of Assignment (PCA) orders for MECEPs.  Marines 
must submit both letters for orders requests 90 days in advance for 
PCS orders and 30 days in advance for PCA orders of the NROTC no 
later than report date.   A hard copy acceptance letter or official 
acceptance email from a school will suffice. Ensure the acceptance 
letters from both the NROTC unit and the school contain the same 
authorized semester start.    
     e.  Due to student seat availability at the NROTC Units, MECEP 
Marines must apply to three separate NROTC or affiliated schools.

14.  Post TBS information.  The Commandant's Education Board, which 
selects Marine Officers to attend graduate schools between the grades 
of first lieutenant and major, requires Marines to have qualifying 
calculus and science classes for selection to certain Postgraduate 
School, Air Force Institute of Technology, and Defense Advanced 
Research Projects Agency (DARPA) programs (e.g. Naval Fellowships).  
For this reason, MECEP students are highly encouraged to pursue 
degrees within Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics 
(STEM) curriculums to qualify for these graduate education and 
fellowship opportunities.  Marines who pursue non-STEM degrees are 
likewise encouraged to take calculus I and II and calculus-based 
science classes to qualify for selection to these programs in the 
future.  Refer to reference (h) for more information.
