OTIS/MAJ/MMEA-21/TEL: (703) 432-5625/ EMAIL: [email protected]// GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  The Strategic Location Incentive Program (SLIP) is an assignment and retention initiative for careerist enlisted Marines who accept orders to difficult to fill locations or critical billets in exchange for an agreed upon duty station preference for the following tour. 2. Program Details 2.a. SLIP was the winning crowd-source submission in reference (a), the Manpower Modernization Challenge II. 2.b. SLIP will be available for eligible orders written after 1 Oct 2024. 2.c. Individual Primary Military Occupational Specialty (PMOS) monitors are given discretion as to which assignments within their scope qualify as "difficult to fill" or "critical" as this varies from community to community.  Generally, this will include assignments to overseas locations, remote CONUS locations, and billets that require special training or qualifications. A current list of billet vacancies eligible for SLIP will be maintained on the MMEA webpage. 2.d. SLIP is an incentive. Monitors will make every effort to apply this incentive to eligible individuals, but myriad considerations for each assignment and Marine necessitate case-by-case determination. 3. Eligibility. Enlisted Marines must meet the following criteria: 3.a. Have completed their initial period of enlistment and be eligible for a subsequent reenlistment term in zone B, C, or D. 3.b. Must not be identified for Headquarters Marine Corps Special Duty Assignment Screening Team (HSST) or slated for a special duty assignment or screenable billet at the time of receipt of SLIP orders. 3.c. Must meet general eligibility requirements to receive orders IAW reference (b), including time on station requirements. 3.d. Must not have an RE3O reenlistment code. 3.e. Must obligate sufficient service to execute orders IAW ref (c). 4. Coordinating Instructions 4.a. Upon accepting a qualifying SLIP assignment, Marines will be assigned a SLIP Draw Case Code (DCC) of "DS" in Marine Corps Total Force System (MCTFS) indicating eligibility for this incentive. This DCC serves to stabilize the Marine for the initial tour and follow-on tour from other special programs. Additionally, the PMOS monitor will place the SLIP verbiage in the Marine's orders stipulating the agreed upon follow-on duty station to assist in assignment following the successful completion of the eligible tour. 5.  Release authorized by MajGen Ryan S.
