Officers who do  not meet this requirement should reach out to their PMOS monitor  to discuss waiver requirements.  2.c.  Career Designation 2.c.1.  Officers who are not yet career designated but will screen   for career designation in FY27 will be considered.  If an officer  does not meet this requirement, the officer must contact their PMOS monitor to discuss waiver submission requirements.  2.c.2.  Per reference (a), when authorized by the Deputy Commandant,   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.  3.  Process  3.a.  Volunteer Incentive Program.  In FY27, MMOA will screen  qualified volunteers for assignment to MCRC duty.  Qualified  volunteers that are selected will receive priority slating for  their preferred billet vacancies.
