Marines with exactly 28 years of active service on the date of reenlistment may be paid a Zone G PMOS bonus if they have not previously received a Zone G PMOS bonus.  No SRB payment will be paid after the Marine’s 28th year of active service. PMOS        E8 & ABOVE 0372         50,000 1795         50,000 8412         45,000 6. LM designated PMOSs. 6.a.  LM PMOSs are listed under paragraphs 5.a, 5.b, and 5.c with the LM designation.  These PMOSs are authorized bonus payments to Marines who execute a LM in conjunction with a reenlistment in their respective Zones.  Marines who request LM into a PMOS may submit for reenlistment immediately and do not have to wait until their current PMOSs boatspaces are closed out prior to requesting a LM boatspace. 6.b.  Bonus payment for LM PMOSs will not be made at the time of reenlistment but upon successful completion of PMOS training and subsequent award of the PMOS.  Bonus payment will be based upon the FY SRB authorized at the time of reenlistment.  Marines who are in training beyond 30 September 2026 will be authorized payment of the PMOS bonus once the Marine Corps Total Force System shows they have been awarded the new PMOS. 6.c.  Marines who fail to complete required LM PMOS training will be re-designated or administratively separated according to the needs of the Marine Corps and will receive no bonus, even if the PMOS the Marine is reclassified into is eligible to receive one. 7. Administrative Elements. 7.a.  Boatspace quotas will only be exceeded upon approval by Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC), Manpower Plans, Policy, and Budget (MPP). Reenlistments approved in excess of boatspace quotas per PMOS may rate a bonus if available funding exists and is authorized by CMC (MPP).  Marines are encouraged to reenlist early in the FY26 retention campaign to secure their boatspace and bonus. 7.b. PMOS bonus authority is granted for service in the PMOS. As of the date time group (DTG) of the MARADMIN announcing approved selections to first sergeant/master sergeant, Marines selected to first sergeant will not be eligible to receive a PMOS bonus. Marines eligible for promotion to first sergeant/master sergeant who execute reenlistment prior to the release of the selection MARADMIN will receive a PMOS bonus if eligible.  Example: A Zone C 0372 gunnery sergeant who is eligible for promotion and reenlists prior to the DTG of the release of the selection MARADMIN will receive a PMOS bonus of $55,000. Additionally, a Zone C 0372 gunnery sergeant who is selected to master sergeant and reenlists after the DTG of the release of the selection MARADMIN will receive a PMOS bonus of $55,000.  However, a Zone C 0372 gunnery sergeant who is selected to first sergeant and reenlists after the DTG of the release of the selection MARADMIN is no longer eligible to receive a PMOS bonus. 7.c.  Flat Rate PMOS Bonus.  The pre-tax flat rate PMOS bonus amounts authorized are based on the Marine's reenlistment Zone, the Marine's grade on the date of reenlistment, the PMOS for which the Marine is reenlisting, and the kicker or initiative the Marine selects (if any). 7.d.  Obligated Service and Computation of PMOS Bonus.  The PMOS bonus dollar amount is impacted by the number of months of additional obligated service for which the Marine reenlists. Obligated service is defined as the time between the Marine’s ECC at the time of reenlistment and the ECC of the Marine's new contract immediately after reenlistment.  Marines who are not eligible for the 72 or 96-month reenlistment incentive must reenlist for a minimum of 48 months of additional obligated service to get the full PMOS bonus.  On a case-by-case basis, CMC (MMEA-1) may authorize reenlistment periods of less than 48 months. These Marines will be eligible for a PMOS bonus at a prorated amount if their reenlistment period includes at least 36 months of additional obligated service.  Marines who reenlist for less than 36 months of additional obligated service, excluding any initiatives addressed in this MARADMIN, are not eligible for any PMOS bonus.  Marines will rate the PMOS bonus applicable to their Zone, their grade, and their MOS as authorized in this MARADMIN.  The kickers listed in paragraph 4 of this MARADMIN are only available to 48-month additional obligated service contracts. No prorated amounts on kickers or initiatives will be authorized. (1) Example: A Marine whose ECC is 15 March 2026 and is reenlisting with an effective date of 16 March 2026 will be required to reenlist for 48 months to rate the full 48-month PMOS bonus payment. (2) Example: A Marine whose ECC is 15 March 2026 and is reenlisting with an effective date of 14 March 2026 will be required to reenlist for 49 to rate the full 48-month PMOS bonus payment.  (3) Example: Marines reenlisting for other than 48 months of obligated service will rate the number of months of obligated service/48 months x the PMOS bonus authorized rounded to the nearest dollar.  An 0231 corporal in Zone A decides to reenlist for 39 months of obligated service, their ECC is 15 December 2025 prior to reenlistment, and after reenlistment their ECC is 15 March 2029.  The PMOS bonus authorized will be as follows: 39 months/48 months x $14,000 = $11,375.  (4) Example: A sergeant in Zone A reenlists into the 2631 PMOS and reenlists for 60 months of obligated service at time of reenlistment.  The PMOS bonus authorized will be limited to the full 48-month PMOS bonus amount of $31,750.  Final determination of all bonus recoupment amounts will be made by a disbursing office or the Defense Finance Accounting Service (DFAS). 7.e.  SRB Payment Caps.  Per reference (a), no Marine will exceed $360,000 in career SRB payments.  Example: A Zone A sergeant who successfully LMs into 0211 on a 72-month contract will receive $105,000.  That Marine will only rate a total of $255,000 in future bonuses regardless of the amounts published in future SRB MARADMINs. 7.f.  Years of Service Calculation.  To determine a Marine's years of active military service, the Armed Forces Active-Duty Base Date will be used for all Marines. 7.g.  Kicker Limitations. Marines may be eligible for multiple kickers as part of this Program, however Marines will be limited to receiving only one kicker upon reenlistment. (1) Example: A Zone A 6176 corporal that is qualified to receive the Aircraft Maintenance Kicker and eligible for the Aircraft Readiness Kicker. This Marine cannot receive both kickers and will have to choose which kicker to accept, adhering to its corresponding Statement of Understanding. 8.  Recoupment Policy. 8.a.  Marines who receive an SRB payment will be required to serve in a billet requiring the PMOS or skill for which they received the bonus payment, unless they serve in an authorized out-of-skill assignment, or a waiver is granted by the Secretary of the Navy.  Failure to complete this requirement may result in recoupment of the unearned portion of the Marine's reenlistment bonus as stated in reference (a). 8.b.  Marines with an approaching ECC who are awaiting the results of a board leading to an officer program or Marines who intend to submit for an officer program should request an extension of their current contract vice reenlistment. Marines who reenlist or extend solely to gain sufficient obligated service to participate in a program leading to a commissioned or warrant officer status are not entitled to an SRB. 8.c.  Marines who reenlist in their PMOS or skill then subsequently apply to and are accepted into a program that will change their PMOS or skill or lead to a commission, are not subject to any recoupment of SRB.  The term "apply” is defined as the date on a Marine's cover letter requesting consideration for one of these type programs.  (1) Example: An 0629 staff sergeant in Zone C who reenlisted for 48 months of obligated service during FY24 and received a $4,500 PMOS bonus payment is entitled to keep their entire PMOS bonus payment if they apply for and are selected to become a career recruiter during FY26. (2) Example: An 0369 staff sergeant in Zone B who reenlisted for 48 months of obligated service during FY24 and received a $23,500 PMOS bonus payment is entitled to keep their entire PMOS bonus payment if they apply for and are  selected to the MECEP during FY26. 8.d.  Marines who apply for a program which will change their PMOS or lead to a commission, then subsequently reenlist within their PMOS will not normally be considered eligible for an SRB and are subject to recoupment of the unearned portion of any SRB payment received.  The term "apply" is defined as the date on a Marine's cover letter requesting consideration for one of these type programs. (1) Example: An 0861 staff sergeant in Zone B applies to become a career recruiter on 1 January 2026, reenlists for 48 months of obligated service on 1 March 2026 receives a $17,000 PMOS bonus payment, and is accepted/assigned as a career recruiter on 1 June 2026 would have the unexpired portion of obligated service recouped. Recoupment details: 45 months unexpired obligated service/48 months original obligated service x $17,000 PMOS bonus payment received: $15,937 total recoupment.  Final determination of all SRB recoupment amounts will be made by a disbursing office or DFAS. 9.  Coordinating Instructions. 9.a.  The FY26 SRB Program Statement of Understanding is available for download from the Total Force Retention System and the Enlisted Retention Manpower page. References (a) through (d) contain amplifying instruction for the execution of enlisted bonus payments. 9.b.  To align with the Return on Investment talent management initiative, the Marine Corps is updating the SRB payment methodology to enhance career stability and retention efforts. 9.c.  Marines will have the opportunity to reenlist ahead of their retention cohort year, securing reenlistment incentives, duty station assignments, and career progression opportunities without delay. SRB payments will be made in the fiscal year of their ECC rather than at the time of reenlistment. 9.d.  This early enlistment opportunity enables the Marine Corps to execute retention campaigns efficiently while providing Marines with a stable and predictable reenlistment process. The payment methodology ensures Marines continue to receive financial incentives tied to their reenlistment. 9.e.  Marines who reenlist under this framework will lock in their bonus eligibility, career assignments, and obligated service while receiving SRB payment in the appropriate fiscal year. In the unlikely event that a Marine does not receive their bonus payment within their designated retention fiscal year, they will have the option to submit for separation within 90 days of concluding FY. 10.  If SRB funds are obligated faster than currently planned or a change in retention requirements is necessary, Headquarters, United States Marine Corps will suspend or terminate the FY26 SRB Program as needed prior to 30 September 2026. 11.  This MARADMIN is not applicable to the Marine Corps Reserve. 12.  Release authorized by Lieutenant General Michael J. Borgschulte, Deputy Commandant for Manpower and Reserve Affairs.//
