As a courtesy, please notify the POC via email of  your intention to decline.  5.  Per paragraph 8 of reference (a), selectees may defer to the next  available WOBC due to personal hardship.  Selectees should submit a  Request for Deferment through their chain of command to CG MCRC.   Further, in accordance with paragraph 8 of reference (a), selectees  will be deferred by MCRC to the next available if they are not  medically qualified by BUMED.   6.  Commanding officers shall ensure the selectee meets the  commissioning requirements set forth in reference (a).  If a selectee fails to meet those requirements, the commanding officer will  initiate a delay in accordance with reference (a) and the commission  will not be effected. 7.  CWO2 selectees are slated to be commissioned on 1 February 2025  at a ceremony aboard Marine Corps Base, Quantico.  CWO2 selectees  will attend the Warrant Officer Basic Course (WOBC).  The mission of  the WOBC is to train and educate newly appointed warrant officers in  the high standards of professional knowledge, esprit-de-corps, and  leadership required to transition from enlisted Marines to  officers, with particular emphasis on the duties, responsibilities  and professional abilities required to serve as a platoon commander  in a support role.  By separate orders, selectees will be ordered by  the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) Manpower Management (MM) to  report to the Commanding General, Marine Corps Combat Development  Command (MCCDC), The Basic School (TBS) to attend the WOBC that is  scheduled to convene on 21 January 2025.  Selectees must report no  earlier than 0600 on 21 January 2025, and no later than 1200 on 21  January 2025. References (c) and (d) define the differences in duty  under instructions, temporary additional duty (TAD), temporary duty  under instructions (TEMINS), and reassignment orders in relation to  per diem and other allowances.  It is requested that as many  selectees as possible be sent TAD to TBS.  This reduces the  administrative hardship on TBS as well as on the selectees.  It is  requested that any selectee with more than 30 days between WOBC  graduation and follow-on school be sent TAD to TBS.  The report date  to the WOBC was modified in order to effectively screen selectees  and ensure they meet commissioning and training standards per  reference (a) prior to commissioning.  Failure to do so will result  in the selectee not being commissioned. 8.  Orders Process      a. Per references (d) and (e), orders to WOBC will be issued as  followed:         1) Marines with no dependents (CONUS and OCONUS) will  be issued TEMINS orders.         2) Marines with dependents (CONUS and OCONUS) or single  Marines who were previously authorized to reside off-base will be  issued TAD orders via DTS and a funding letter will be provided in  MCTIMS by TECOM.  Marines attending WOBC in a TAD status should  ensure proper administrative and legal documents are completed prior  to departing to WOBC (e.g. Power of Attorney).      b. The point of contact for TAD orders is your local  administrative office or consolidated admin center.  Point of  contact for all other order types is the respective monitor at  Manpower Management Officer Assignments (MMOA).      c. All commanders issuing orders for Marines to attend WOBC will  ensure a DD Form 214 is created via the Document Tracking and  Management System (DTMS) in Marine Online (MOL).  The DD Form 214  will cover all active duty enlisted service through 31 January 2025.   Ensure strict compliance with reference (f).  Although the hard copy  DD Form 214 may be signed and copies 1 and 4 issued to the Marine  prior to executing orders to TBS, the DD Form 214 should not be  certified, published and distributed via DTMS until the unit has  confirmed the individual’s commission via the Marine Corps Total  Force System (MCTFS).  Upon commission confirmation, the DD Form 214  may be certified, published and distributed per the current edition  of reference (f).      d. If a selectee is found unqualified or is otherwise not  commissioned for any reason after executing orders to TBS, the DD  Form 214 previously generated via DTMS shall be deleted and any hard  copy DD Form 214 issued to the Marine shall be shredded, as  appropriate.  The following blocks/items will be standard on each  2022 enlisted to warrant officer DD Form 214: “12B. 20240131”;  “15A-C. No”; “16. None”; “20-20A. No”; “23. Discharged”; “24.  Honorable”; “25. MARCORSEPMAN 6404.1”; “26. KGM1”; “27. N/A”; “28.  Accept commission or warrant in same branch of service”.  All other  provisions of reference (f) for this occasion shall apply to all  other sections of the DD Form 214. 9.  Administration     a.  WOBC seats are limited.  Marines selected for WO may be  deferred to future WOBC classes based on the needs of the Marine  Corps.  Individuals deferred will be notified by Headquarters Marine  Corps.     b.  Check-in procedures and initial information for WOBC will  be posted on the TBS website and MarineNet Moodle Page no later  than 20 November 2024 for WOBC 1-25.  TBS will add all

WOBC.  There will be extended field time at the WOBC.  Selectees are  highly encouraged to practice running the obstacle course with an  emphasis on rope climbing.  Hiking under load and running in boots  and utilities are also highly recommended.  Passing a 10-mile hike  under prescribed load, a double standard Marine Corps Obstacle Course  and the TBS Endurance Course are required to graduate from WOBC.         b.  Selectees with less than 13 years of service are encouraged  to be current rifle and pistol qualified prior to attending WOBC 1-25  as the number of range seats available at
