  1.  Purpose.  This MARADMIN provides a consolidated source of  information and guidance for officers transitioning from the Active  Component (AC) to the Reserve Component (RC).  Additionally, it  provides amplifying guidance for the creation and processing of the  NAVMC 763.
  2.  Background.  In accordance with reference (a), the President  shall have the power to appoint officers of the United States.   Reference (b) delegates the appointment of armed forces officers to  the Secretary of Defense.  References (c) and (d) state that officers on the Active-Duty List (ADL) will have a Regular appointment and all  officers on the Reserve Active-Status List (RASL) will have a Reserve appointment.  The ADL contains all AC officers and the RASL contains  all RC officers.  Reserve appointments for officers transitioning  from the AC to the RC require a minimum of four months from the date  received at Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC) for approval.  In cases  where the officer was subject to adversity this timeline is increased.
  3.  Process 3.a.  Transferring after initial obligation 3.a.1.  Regardless of commissioning source, an AC officer’s initial  contract in the Marine Corps is for a period of eight years.  The  first portion of the eight-year obligation is typically performed in  the AC.  If an officer separates from the AC before their military  service obligation of eight-years is completed, they will be  transferred to the RC to complete the required service obligation in  accordance with reference (e).  An officer can view their end of  obligated service (EOS) date within their Basic Individual Record  within the Marine Online website.  CMC(RA) will identify and submit  qualified officers for a Reserve commission via the Secretary of  Defense. 3.a.2.  Officers who have prior enlisted service may be beyond their  EOS date upon end of active service (EAS) during their initial AC  officer contract.  If an officer in this scenario separates at their  EAS and desires to transfer to the RC, they must ensure their  separations code in block 26 of their DD-214 indicates this intent.   CMC(RA) will identify and submit such officers for a Reserve  commission via the Secretary of Defense automatically.  No further  action is required on behalf of the officer. 3.b.  Transferring after career designation 3.b.1.  Officers who have accepted career designation, completed all  AC obligations, and desire to transfer to the RC must request to  resign their AC commission in accordance with chapter five of  reference (e).  Once the resignation has been approved and an EAS is populated in the resigning officer’s record, CMC(RA) will submit for a Reserve commission via the Secretary of Defense.   3.b.2.  AC officers who submit for consideration on an Active Reserve Accession Board will be submitted for a Reserve commission by CMC(RA).  3.b.3.  Officers with special circumstances who request to separate  from the AC and transfer to the RC inside of the four-month window,  outlined in reference (g), must immediately notify the Reserve  Affairs Officer Appointment Manager via RAM-1(at)usmc.mil to  determine if the request is viable.
  4.  Notification 4.a.  RA does not directly notify individual officers who are  approved for a Reserve commission.  Approval is reflected in the  planned separations code within Marine Corps Total Force System  (MCTFS). 4.b.  RA will notify any officer who requested to transition to the  RC but is deemed ineligible due to substantiated adversity in  accordance with reference (g).
  5.  Acceptance of a Reserve Commission   5.a.  Per reference (h), the acceptance of a Reserve commission is  documented on an Appointment Acceptance and Record (NAVMC 763).  It  is the single proof source legal document maintained within an  officer’s Official Military Personnel File (OMPF).  The NAVMC 763  serves as evidence of the legal basis by which both commissioned and  warrant officers discharge their sworn duties and provides the  foundation for validating an officer's retirement eligibility and  entitlements. 5.b.  Unit administration or the section handling the records of a  separating officer must produce an updated NAVMC 763 correlating to  officers’ MCTFS record.  This updated NAVMC 763 must be issued to the separating officer before their separation takes place.  The  separating officer is responsible for obtaining a signature from an  Administering Officer who is higher in grade than the separating  officer.  After obtaining the signature, the officer must return the  completed NAVMC 763 to the issuing section.  The issuing section must  upload the completed NAVMC 763 to the officer’s Official Military  Personnel File (OMPF).  The IPAC will be responsible for ensuring the  DD-214, NAVMC 763, and all records related to the officer’s  separation are accurately updated and stored in their OMPF. If an  IPAC is unavailable, the reporting unit will take responsibility for  updating and properly storing the DD-214, NAVMC 763, and all  separation-related records in the officer’s OMPF. 5.c.  Approval for a Reserve commission is reflected within the  planned separation code within MCTFS. 5.d.  Guidance on how to properly complete the NAVMC 763 for officers  transferring from the AC to the RC is as follows: 5.d.1.  Items 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 6, 7, 9, 9a, 10, 11, 13, 14,  14a, 15, 15a, and 17 shall coincide with the officer's current status  and current data within MCTFS using Marine Corps database codes in  the manpower codes lookup guide at https: (slash)(slash)  www2.manpower.usmc.mil/lookups/lookups/lookups.action.  Note all item  dates shall be in the following format (MM DD YYYY). 5.d.2.  Items 8, 8a, 8b, 12, 12a, 16, and 16a will be "N/A". 5.d.3.  Items 18 and 18a are the component and code the officer is  transferring to ("USMCR" for 18 and "K7" for 18a).  5.d.4.  Item 19 is "N" (not assigned immediately to active duty).  5.d.5.  Item 20 is "8A" for transfer from the AC to the RC (EAS or  resignation) or "8I" for Captains twice passed over for promotion. 5.d.6.  Item 20a is "12203". 5.d.7.  Item 20b is "TRANSITIONAL".  There is not a specific program  for this section when transferring from the AC to the RC.  Transitional is appropriate. 5.d.8.  Item 21 shall contain all prior service to include the end  date of the current component place in column (d) which must  correspond with the date entered on block 12b from the individual's  DD-214 release from active-duty date, prior to switching to the new  component listed in item 18.  "(not creditable for pay purposes)"  shall be typed across the (a), (b), and (c) columns, above the  required item information, for each component period of military  service that is not creditable for computation of basic pay in  accordance with reference (f).  The "EFF DATE" below item 21 is the day that the component change is to take effect.  This should be the  day after the officer's EAS, which shall be the day after last entry  in column 21d and block 12b from the officer's DD-214. 5.d.9.  Item 22 shall be signed by the applicable officer.  Fill in  as "subscribed and duly sworn to before me at (location) this (number  date) day of (month and year)".  Example "subscribed and duly sworn  to before me at MCB Quantico, VA this 10th day of November 1775". 5.e.  Distribution of the completed NAVMC 763 is an essential part of the officer's record and must be uploaded by the separating section  into the officers OMPF by visiting https:(slash)(slash)  www4.manpower.usmc.mil/orma/#/then you can access the Records  Management Application(O-RMA).
  6.  Training.  Instructional training can be found at https:(slash) (slash) www.marinenet.usmc.mil/mvs/v.aspx?Id=6350B3B28CE6
