Per reference (c), a written waiver request must be submitted to the first O-5/O-6 Commander in the Marine’s chain of command and documented in the Marine’s Official Military Personnel File. 3.b. Upon receipt of a notice to activate, the process to request an activation to dwell waiver is as follows: 3.b.(1) Confirm the Marine is within the 1:4 activation to dwell ratio and is waiving dwell for the current activation. 3.b.(2) Marine completes a NAVMC 10274 (AA Form) acknowledging dwell status and requesting a waiver to activate.  NAVMC 10274 is routed via the chain of command to the first O-5/O-6 Commander. 3.b.(3) Upon approval, the Marine will sign a NAVMC 118 (Page 11) entry acknowledging approval of the request and the Marine’s intent to activate within dwell.  Utilize the following language in the NAVMC 118:  My request to waive my activation to dwell requirements has been approved.  I waive my activation to dwell requirements for this activation. 3.b.(4) The Marine’s administration section will upload the signed Page 11 to the Marine’s Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) via the OMPF Record Management Application (ORMA). 3.b.(5) The Unit CO/I-I will verify the signed Page 11 has been entered into the Marine’s OMPF during the activation audit process per references (a) and (c). 4.  Per reference (d), a Marine may waive their dwell (1:4) but they cannot waive the notification timeline associated with an activation. 5.  Deployment to Dwell (D2D) waivers must be submitted via a signed NAVMC 118 (Page 11) through the Marine Reserve Orders Writing System (MROWS). 6.  Per reference (e), requests for dwell exemption that does not fall within PERSTEMPO guidelines requires Assistant Secretary of the Navy approval. 7.  This MARADMIN is applicable upon release. 8.  This MARADMIN is applicable to the Marine Corps Reserve. 9.  Release authorized by Major General K.
