Interview Scheduling.  Monitors will publish individual interview schedules NLT 31 August 2025.  Access instructions for the interview will be provided via the Talent Management Engagement Platform.  Priority for interviews will be summer 2026 movers. Marines being considered for the next rank will schedule interviews during a deliberate block outlined by their new PMOS Monitor at the end of the scheduling window.  Marines that desire routine career counseling are asked to engage MMOA no earlier than March of 2026. 4.  Coordinating Instructions  4.a.  Slating Guidance  4.a.1.  The adjustment of statutory promotion boards enables MMOA to expedite the assignment processes and issue orders to Marines earlier than in past years. Commanders are highly encouraged to review the below recommendations to increase MMOA’s ability to satisfy their preferences and meet the Service’s requirements. 4.a.2.  Separation Timelines. MMOA must receive separation requests for processing prior to 1 November 2025. This is to accurately forecast total vacancies and increases the ability to deliberately plan for staffing shortfalls. Requests received before this date will be tracked as summer 2026 vacancies; requests received after will be considered 2027 vacancies. MMOA considers 1 June through 1 October as the ‘on-cycle’ EAS window. Commanders should understand that shortfalls created by requests which deviate from this window will be borne by the command which endorsed the request.  Commands are encouraged to engage Marines that are considering transition early and often to create plans that support the command, the service, and the Marine’s transition. 4.a.3.  Tour Modification Requests.  Extensions and curtailments received after 1 November 2025 are unlikely to be favorably endorsed. Commands and Marines are encouraged to submit these requests as soon as possible for MMOA’s adjudication. 4.a.4.  Billet Nominations and Screening. Commands are encouraged to work with MMOA to resolve assignments that require additional screening, such as aides, staff secretaries, or joint critical requirements, before the 1 November deadline.  Delays in the nominative assignment process impacts adjacent units and Marines. After the 1 November deadline, MMOA will work with commands to identify internal solutions to expedite the execution of the Service’s slate. 4.a.5. By Name Requests. By Name Requests, or BNRs, complicate the staffing process and should be submitted to MMOA only in extreme cases. Only General Officer and Flag Officers are authorized to make ‘BNRs’ by an Administrative Action Form submitted to MMOA via their Chief of Staff. Requests below the Flag Officer level will be considered as local command preferences and will be regarded by the Service accordingly. 4.a.6.  Career Designation (CD).  Commands are encouraged to ensure junior officers understand the CD process.  Officers who are offered and accept CD will incur 24 months of obligated service from the date outlined in the selection MARADMIN. Officers who accept career designation may be issued PCS orders within this service obligation window and therefore incur additional obligated service.  Marines that decline career designation will execute their EAS as outlined in their signed service agreement.  EAS extension requests by those who decline CD will not normally receive favorable endorsement from MMOA. Commands are directed to ensure officers offered CD must accept or decline by the deadline to reduce unnecessary delays in the company grade slating process. 4.b. Roadshow Support  4.b.1.  Responsible agencies listed in paragraph 3 must assign a site coordinator for each location.  Upon the release of this message, site coordinators conduct detailed coordination with MMOA POCs via separate correspondence.  NLT ten business days after the release of this MARADMIN, responsible agencies will advise the MMOA command visit coordinators of any scheduling conflicts. Coordinators will serve as the primary point of contact for MMOA command visit coordination from this message until MMOA is actions complete at each location.  Examples of conflicts include but aren’t limited to: major change of command, exercises prohibiting attendance at any location, or command liberty periods. 4.b.2.  Funding.  All travel, lodging, and rental vehicle expenses for the MMOA Command Visit teams will require cross-org to appropriate lines of accounting.  MMOA requires vehicle support while visiting any locations outside of the contiguous United States. 4.b.3.  Facilities.  MMOA requests facilities support from each installation and supporting commands to facilitate the roadshow brief and the town halls.  The manpower brief location requires audio/visual support in the form of large screen/s to project the roadshow brief product and microphones for 2-4 speakers.  Town halls require visual support in the form of screen(s) to project field specific information and no audio support. 5.  Points of contact:  5.a.  Maj Thomas Milroy       Comm: (703)784-9272         Email: [email protected]  5.b.  Maj Ryan Ayer        Comm: (703)784-9276        Email: [email protected]  5.c.  Maj Katherine Bookhout        Comm: (703)784-9267        Email: [email protected]  6.  This message is not applicable to the Marine Corps Reserve.  7.  Release authorized by MajGen Ryan S.
