DSN 278-0511 or  commercial (703) 784-0511.  Individual guidance for each Marine will  be provided to coordinate his/her orders to MOS schools and permanent  duty assignments. 2.  Selectees who desire to decline appointment in the primary MOS or  billet vacancy in which selected, shall submit a letter of  declination via their chain of command to the Commanding General  Marine Corps Recruiting Command (CG, MCRC).  As a courtesy, please  notify the POC via email of your intention to decline. 3.  Per paragraph 8 of reference (a), selectees may defer to the next  available WOBC if they are not medically qualified by BUMED or due to  a personal hardship.  Selectees should submit a Request for Deferment  through their chain of command to CG MCRC. 4.  Commanding officers shall ensure the selectee meets the  appointment requirements set forth in reference (a).  If a selectee  fails to meet those requirements, the commanding officer will  initiate an appointment delay in accordance with reference (a) and  the appointment will not be effected. 5.  Appointment     a.  Selectees are slated to be appointed on 1 February 2026 at a  ceremony aboard Marine Corps Base, Quantico.  Selectees will report  to the Commanding General, Marine Corps Combat Development Command  (MCCDC), to attend the WOBC, which is scheduled to convene on 12  January 2026.  Selectees must report no earlier than 0800 on 11  January 2026 and no later than 2359 on 11 January 2026.  The report  date to the WOBC was modified in order to effectively screen  selectees and ensure they meet appointment and training standards  per reference (a).  Failure to do so may result in revocation of  appointment.  The mission of the WOBC is to train and educate newly  appointed or 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 rifle platoon commander.               b.  SMCR selectees must affiliate with the units, for which  selected, immediately following successful completion of the WOBC  and any follow-on MOS schools.  WOs not required to attend MOS  schools, or whose MOS schools begin 30 days or more after the WOBC  graduation date, will execute an inter-unit transfer immediately  upon return to their original units.      c.  Reference (c) requires SMCR selectees who have served  less than 12 months on a contract and received an incentive bonus  to contact their unit administration office to establish a preferred  method of reimbursement of the bonus received.  6.  Obligation      a.  SMCR selectees are required to affiliate with the designated  SMCR units, and serve in the billet for which selected for a minimum  period of 3 years.     b.  Per reference (a), Commanding Officers must ensure that SMCR  selectees sign the following page 11 entry prior to appointment: "I  understand that appointment as a permanent Reserve Warrant Officer is  for an indefinite term, and that SECNAV may terminate the appointment  of any Warrant Officer who fails to complete the Warrant Officer  Basic Course, any required MOS follow-on schools within 18 months of  appointment, or the 3-year SMCR unit obligation.  A Marine whose  appointment is terminated may, upon request, and at the discretion of  the SECNAV, enlist in a grade not lower than that held immediately  prior to appointment."        c.  Both SMCR and AR WOs are in a probationary status for 5  years from the date of appointment.          7.  Funding and Orders for Training        a.  RA will schedule all SMCR selectees for WOBC and primary MOS  school.             b.  Units shall submit orders for the SMCR selects via the Marine  Resource Order Writing Service (MROWS) utilizing RA (HQ/WO) funding  no later than 1 January 2026.  Appropriation data and MROWS  procedures are available at www.manpower.usmc.mil under Reserve  Marine/Reserve Continuation and Transition Branch/FY25 Enlisted to  Warrant Officer (Reserve) Selection Order Writing Instructions.   Contact RA at (703) 784-9136 with any questions.  It is imperative  that Marines arrive with fully funded orders to avoid a delay in the  30-day partial per diem settlements.  Historically, delays in MROWS  orders modifications from enlisted funding to officer funding have  negatively impacted timely partial settlements.       c.  Attendance of WOBC and primary MOS school training take  precedence over unit annual training, operational commitments and  mobilization.               d.  References (d) and (e) define the differences in Duty Under  Instructions, Temporary Additional Duty, Temporary Duty Under  Instructions, and Reassignment Orders in relation to per diem, and  other allowances.       e.  Per reference (f), Reserve Marines attending WOBC under  MROWS orders will receive BAH with or without dependents at their  primary residence locality rate. 8.  Administration         a.  WOBC seats are limited.  Marines selected for WO may be  deferred to future WOBC classes based on the needs of the Marine  Corps.  Individuals deferred will be notified by Headquarters Marine  Corps.          b.  Check-in procedures and initial information for WOBC will  be sent via The Welcome Aboard Email to selectees at a later date.   Additionally, check-in information and documents will be posted on  the WOBC 1-26 MarineNet Moodle Page.  TBS will add all selected  Marines to the MarineNet Moodle Page no later than (NLT) four weeks  prior to course pickup. The TBS point of contact will be the WOBC  1-26 Executive Officer who will reach out via email to selectees NLT  four weeks prior to course pickup.         c.  Selectees must report to TBS with original orders,  Defense Travel System travel authorizations, and complete health and  dental records.  A DD Form 214 will also be issued at TBS if the  selectee is released from active duty upon graduation, otherwise,  the follow-on MOS school will issue and prepare a final settlement.   The Appointment Acceptance Record (NAVMC 763), the Officer  Qualification Record, and Identification Card will be  completed/issued at WOBC.  Uniform for selectees reporting to the  WOBC will be communicated via The Welcome Aboard Email.  Selectees  should either purchase their officer Service Alpha
