Background 3.a. E-JDA. E-JDA Review Boards occur to determine whether the submissions should be deemed joint credit of the served time due to significant experience in joint matters. Some experiences outside the billets on the Joint Duty Assignment List (JDAL) develop a cadre of officers with the skills to provide strategic-level advice for the achievement of national, strategic, and military objectives. An E-JDA is a non-JDAL assignment or experience that demonstrates an officer’s mastery of knowledge, skills, and abilities in joint matters.  All joint experience must be focused at the Strategic  Level, and not 'Service Centric.'  E-JDAs may be shorter in  duration; therefore, they may be aggregated to achieve the  equivalent of a full joint tour of duty in a Standard JDA. The  E-JDA process will enable a point system to recognize officers for their joint experiences in a systematic, progressive manner. Joint  experiences will accrue points toward three successive levels of  joint qualifications and provide commanders a greater degree of  consistency in assessing the capabilities of each officer.  This  will enhance the DoD’s ability to ensure the appropriate mix of  joint experienced officers in each organization.  The E-JDA board  will identify joint matters experience by assessing the documented  experiences as defined by reference (D) and further explained in  references (A) and (B). Eligible Officers may submit their request for experience points through the self-nomination process listed  below. 4.  Eligibility 4.a.  Eligibility Criteria 4.a.1.  Officers must be promoted to the paygrade of O-3 or higher  in order to apply for E-JDA.  Be advised that any experience completed as an O-3 will only count toward Joint Qualification (JQ) Level II (Joint MOS 9701), and will not be considered for JQ Level III (Joint MOS 9702 / Joint Qualified Officer). 4.a.2.  Officers shall not self-nominate experiences for consideration until “tour complete” or “experience complete.” Any experience submitted must be completed, and the billet vacated prior to submission. 4.a.3.  Officers must submit their self-nomination experience through the joint qualification system to the Marine Corps JOMO no later than 12 months from the completion of their joint experience. Late submissions will not be accepted without a waiver request from the officer's first General Officer/Flag Officer in their chain of command. 4.a.4.  The officer's self-nomination experience must cover a time period of 30 days or more to be considered valid. 4.a.5.  The inclusive dates of experience include only arrival and departure dates to the location of the actual experience. Departure date from home base and subsequent return date, travel, or training dates must be excluded. 4.a.6. The assignment and the preponderance of duties must have direct relevance to the statutory definition of joint matters. 4.b.  Ineligibility Criteria. 4.b.1.  Officers cannot nominate for student, fellowship, or intern experiences that are affiliated with an educational, degree granting, or research program. 4.b.2.  Officers cannot nominate for experience while serving in a JDAL position (these positions are already approved for joint credit). 4.b.3.  Officers in the paygrade of O-1 or O-2. 5.  Submission Requirements. The Services and Joint Staff will return any submission that does not comply with stated policy. 5.a.  Joint Experience Summary (JES).  Complete the JES to the fullest extent possible in accordance with references (A) through (D).  Officers will ensure each self-nomination submission is complete and accurate.  The E-JDA board will review the JES to  determine whether the experience demonstrates significant experience in joint matters. 5.b.  Validating and Supporting Documents. The officer must include the below list of validating documents when completing their self-nomination within the Joint Qualification System. 5.b.1.  Fitness reports for the requested period. 5.b.2.  Any award citation, summary of action, and/or narrative for the period being nominated. 5.b.3.  Official orders reporting and detaching endorsements to the area(s) of experience requested. 5.b.4.  Chronological Record. 5.b.5.  Statement of Wartime Service for the period being nominated. 5.b.6.  DD214, if applicable. 5.b.7.  Defense Financial Accounting System (DFAS) adjudicated  Travel Voucher with Per Diem Breakdown (for any OCONUS travel). 5.b.8.  Leave and Earning Statements (LES).  For experiences that were performed in a Combat Zone that would rate Imminent Danger Pay  (IDP).  IDP is considered for an increase in the intensity factor  multiplier.  Officers must submit a DFAS adjudicated travel voucher  and a LES showing the receipt of IDP for each month of the nominated  experience.  This documentation will validate actual  "boots-on-ground" (BOG) dates at the location where the duty  was performed.  BOG dates for approved submissions that cannot be  verified against supporting documentation post-board will reflect as  approved, but with no intensity factor multiplier. 5.b.9.  Statement of Duties signed letter (Must be from an O-6 or  above in the event that Travel Vouchers cannot be acquired for  OCONUS Travel).  Additionally, in the event that a Fitness Report is not published upon the completion of an experience period, a  Statement of Duties from the Reporting Senior of the experience  period will need to be submitted. 5.b.10.  Acquisition Matters. Per reference (A), if the submission  is for an experience within the "acquisition matters" portion of the Joint Matters definition, provide documentation that the position filled during the experience was a designated Defense Acquisition Workforce position covered under Chapter 87 of Title 10.  Example documentation includes proof of tour or training. The experience is not board eligible without this documentation. 5.b.11.  Reserve Component. Marine Reserve Orders Writing System documents will be included when capturing periods of annual training and active duty operational support. 5.b.12.  Part-time Reserve Component. Include Joint Summary Worksheet. 6.  The self-nomination web-based application can be found at: https:(slash)(slash)dhramission.servicenowservices.mil.
