CWO2 selectees are slated to be commissioned on 1 February 2025 at a ceremony aboard Marine Corps Base, Quantico. CWO2 selectees will  attend the WOBC. The mission of the WOBC is to train and educate  newly appointed/commissioned 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 warfighting skills required of a  provisional platoon commander.  By separate orders, selectees will be  ordered by the 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 (DUINS)  and Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders in relation to per diem  and other allowances.  All Gunner selectees will report to WOBC under  PCS orders from their parent command due to requirements for  completion of WOBC and Infantry Weapons Officer Course (IWOC) while  at TBS.  Selectees will PCS to the Quantico, VA area and receive  follow-on orders to their next command upon completion of IWOC.  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. Although the majority of students will be attending WOBC via  TAD orders from their command, the individual monitors will determine  if an individual executes TEMINS orders or TAD orders to WOBC.         1) Marines within 50 miles of Marine Corps Base, Quantico  will be issued Permanent Change of Assignment orders.         2) Marines with no dependents (CONUS and OCONUS) will be  issued TEMINS orders.         3) 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.  The 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 appointment/commission via the Marine  Corps Total Force System (MCTFS).  Upon appointment/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  appointed/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. 20240101”;  “15A-C.
