Must be non-competitively augmented to the active component at the time of selection. To accomplish this, the AR select must initiate a Prior Service Enlisted Package (PSEP) via a canvassing recruiter to Marine Corps Recruiting Command to coordinate the augmentation per reference (d). Upon selection, Marines will be contacted via email by the Prior Service Enlistment Program Chief for further amplifying guidance on the PSEP package submission. Once augmented, Marines are directed to provide an updated Basic Individual Record reflecting the component change to the MCRC POC. 8. Removals, Declinations, and Deferments. Formal requests must be forwarded in standard naval correspondence format with justification, via the administrative endorsing chain of command through the General Officer level, to CG, MCRC.

Questions pertaining to status of BUMED or NAMI medical determinations must be directed to MCRC POC. 10. Pre-OCS information. OCS class dates are tentative and subject to change. Every effort will be made to schedule Marines to the first available OCS class once the Marine is medically qualified. Official notification will be sent via email notification by MCRC POC approximately 45-60 days prior to shipping. Refer to reference (f) for OCC report and graduation dates. Marines who were not initially scheduled may be contacted by the MCRC POC up to two weeks prior to an OCC class and afforded the opportunity to attend if there are additional allocations. This MARADMIN modifies reference (a) Commander's Intent, pertaining to OCS opportunities. Marines who do not attend the first two assigned OCC classes after selection will automatically be disenrolled from the program. a. Marines are directed to use references (g), (h) and the MCRC and OCS website listed in paragraph 5a, for specific requirements prior to arriving at OCS. Scheduled Marines' MHS GENESIS profiles must be complete no later than 30 days prior to report date. Refer to reference (g) for required items. b. Refer to references (f) for 2026 OCC class dates. Officers in Charge and Marines are responsible for ensuring all information on the pre-ship checklist is filled out, and it is signed and dated. Commands will ensure all Marines are within Marine Corps standards and have a first class PFT prior to issuing Defense Travel System orders or shipping to OCS. c. A first class PFT is required for shipping to OCS. Pre-ship PFTs must be taken no earlier than 60 days and no later than 30 days of scheduled OCC report date when possible. Ensure information is annotated in the PFT portion of the checklist. Refer to reference (h) for OCS PFT guidance. Commands must ensure Marines' PFT information meets the requirements of reference (h), prior to submission of the checklist. Marines who do not meet the above requirements are not eligible to report to the scheduled OCC, and this will count as one attempt. If this is the second attempt to attend OCS, the Marine will be disenrolled from their respective programs. d. All "yes" answers to questions under the Candidate Section on the checklist that have not been previously disclosed or waived by MCRC prior to selection must include the signed applicable forms and signed detailed handwritten statements explaining events, to include supporting documents per reference (d). 11.

Questions concerning funding should be directed to the email located in the funding letter or the Marine's DTS administrators, not MCRC. AR Marines must submit an updated copy of their basic individual record to verify their component change before a funding letter can be provided to them. a. Within 5 business days of receiving OCS notification and funding letters, all scheduled Marines are directed to forward their intended mode of transportation to OCS on the report date by responding via email to the notification email sent by MCRC POC with one of the following choices, regardless of the status of their DTS or local command orders: (1) “Privately owned vehicle (POV), or; (2) “Drop off (must annotate OCS or airport)”, or; (3) “Air” and provide the pdf copy of tentative flight itinerary to and from OCS from the government travel agency (provide updated itinerary once approved if changes from original submission). b. Upon approval of orders by Training and Education Command (TECOM), scheduled Marines are required to provide to the MCRC POC no fewer than five business days prior to the report date one of the following: (1) Marines on non-local funded travel (over 50 miles) must provide a copy of approved DTS authorization or DD Form 1610 orders with the TECOM line of accounting in accounting classification, or; (2) Marines on local non-funded travel (50 miles or less) must provide command endorsed orders. c. All information identified in above sub-paragraphs a and b must be received by MCRC POC within established deadlines established via email notification prior to reporting to OCS. Failure to provide the above information once notified can result in removal from the scheduled OCS class and possible disenrollment from respective programs. 12. Additional information. a. Marines are considered officer candidates while attending OCS and are entitled to pay and allowances commensurate with the enlisted grade shown on the original orders to OCS, but not less than that prescribed for a sergeant. Upon completion of training at OCS, the original pay and allowances for corporals and below will be restored. b. Officer candidates who are dropped from or otherwise do not successfully graduate OCS will return to their parent commands or directed duty stations. All drops are conditionally retained in their respective programs unless it is the second unsuccessful attempt, drop on request, or the Marine is not recommended to return to OCS. MCRC POC will provide official notification of retained Marines with next course of action upon receipt of official drop package from OCS. If dropped due to medical, contact your PCM to be evaluated for the medical drop reason provided to you by OCS and begin documenting the medical process. Official correspondence will provide guidance that is required for resubmission to MCRC to forward to BUMED or to be rescheduled for an OCC. A complete physical is not required. Only medical documentation pertaining to the injury or medical condition, from onset to full duty, need to be provided. c. Prior service candidates who are disenrolled by the Commanding Officer (CO), OCS for unsatisfactory conduct or because of a Drop on Own Request will receive a “not observed” adverse report in accordance with Marine Corps Order 1610.7B Chapter 5, paragraph 3. d. (6), “Comments pertaining to the Marine Reported On (MRO)’s drop from, or failure at, a school because of the MRO’s unwillingness to try, cavalier attitude, or unprofessional conduct or ability to meet required standards are adverse”. The CO, OCS, is authorized to effect involuntary disenrollment for cause during any phase of the training. 13. Post OCS graduation. a. After graduation from OCS, Marines will report back to their parent commands or directed duty stations. All claims for travel reimbursements must be completed within five business days upon return to parent commands or directed duty stations. ECP, RECP, and MCP-R will receive their orders for TBS prior to departing OCS to execute from their parent commands or directed duty stations. b. Upon verification of graduation from OCS, receipt of NROTC school acceptance letter and the NROTC Unit acceptance letter, as outlined in reference (d), MCRC will request Manpower Management Enlisted Assignments (MMEA) issue Permanent Change of Station (PCS) or Permanent Change of Assignment (PCA) orders for MECEPs. Marines must submit order requests 90 days in advance of the requested report date for PCS orders and 30 days in advance of the report date for PCA orders. Additionally, the 72-month obligated time must be approved before orders will be funded. c. Due to student seat availability at the NROTC Units, MECEP Marines must apply to three separate NROTC or affiliated schools. NROTC and affiliated schools can be found at www.netc.navy.mil scroll down then select NROTC Schools. d. Upon submission of both letters, MECEP Marines will receive PCS or PCA orders to the NROTC or affiliated school as directed. Orders cannot be issued by MMEA if both acceptance letters are not received by MCRC. A hard copy acceptance letter or official acceptance email from a school will suffice. Ensure the acceptance letters from both the NROTC unit and the school contain the same authorized semester start time frame. e. MECEPs are not authorized to initiate any PCS or PCA moves prior to being issued orders. f. MECEPs refer to references (a) and (i) for obligated service and pertinent information and ensure the Special Officer Program RELM type is used. Questions pertaining to re-enlistments/extensions per reference (i) should be directed to MMEA-1 at (703) 432-9019. Enlistment/Reenlistment must be approved prior to executing PCS/PCA orders. MECEPs whose enlistment/reenlistments have not been approved and have a limited timeline to execute orders (less than 2 weeks to report date) may contact MCRC POC for assistance. g. MECEPs are directed to contact the Marine Officer Instructor or Assistant Marine Officer Instructor at their prospective NROTC or affiliated school for introductions and other pertinent information. h. MECEPs are not authorized to attend any school not listed under NROTC schools or that annotate Registered Nurse (RN) option only or Navy option only on the above website. i. MECEPs are not authorized to attend graduate schools until after completion of TBS. j. MECEPs are not authorized PCS moves from their original NROTC or affiliated school without prior approval from MCRC. k. Failure to provide both the NROTC or affiliated school and NROTC Unit acceptance letters within one year of OCS graduation, will result in disenrollment from the program. l. MECEP Marines who successfully graduate OCS must provide the documents listed on the MECEP Inbound Checklist to their assigned NROTC or affiliated school upon reporting. The MECEP Inbound Checklist can be found on the MCRC website listed in paragraph 5d under General Forms. m. MECEP Marines must maintain a first class PFT and CFT for the entirety of their time in the program. 14. Post TBS information. The Commandant's Education Board, which selects Marine Officers to attend graduate schools between the grades of first lieutenant and major, requires Marines to have qualifying calculus and science classes for selection to certain Postgraduate School, Air Force Institute of Technology, and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) programs (e.g. Naval Fellowships). For this reason, MECEP students are highly encouraged to pursue degrees within Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) curriculums to qualify for these graduate education and fellowship opportunities. Marines who pursue non-STEM degrees are likewise encouraged to take calculus I and II and calculus-based science classes to qualify for selection to these programs in the future. Refer to reference (k) for more information. 15. The MCRC POCs for this MARADMIN is Ms. Troi Spencer and Mr. James Ivey. Please refer to POC information at the beginning of this MARADMIN.
