This incentive is part of a larger MCRC campaign, Recruit the Recruiter (RtR), designed to increase volunteerism and reduce the size of the Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC Special Duty Assignment Screening Team (HSST) requirement. This is a collaborative effort between MCRC and Manpower and Reserve Affairs. 2.  The Recruiting Station Incentive (RSI) allows Marines to choose their preferred RS, based on availability, when they volunteer and complete a Re-enlistment Extension Lateral Move (RELM) via Total Force Retention System (TFRS), through their unit Career Counselors. Recruiting Sub-station (RSS) assignments are provided during Basic Recruiters Course (BRC). 3.  Qualified Marines who volunteer during the volunteer period, outlined in ref C, are guaranteed his/her RS of choice and a FY28 school seat in Marine Corps Recruiter and Retention School based upon availability. 3.a.  If a Marine volunteers with an RSI and subsequently submits a modification request to HQMC, their preferred RSI may no longer be available. If the preferred RSI is not available, the Recruiting Monitor will follow the same protocol listed in paragraph 6.c. 4.  Per ref A, Marines who volunteer for and successfully complete a tour of duty as a recruiter will be given a contiguous United States assignment of geographical preference unless they specifically request an overseas assignment. These Marines are authorized a geographic location preference based upon availability.  Every effort will be made to satisfy the desires of the Marine when a valid billet in their primary military occupational specialty exists in the requested geographic area. 5.  Second tour recruiters are not eligible for RSIs.  Second tour recruiters are encouraged to contact their preferred RS Sergeant Major and Recruiting Instructor to obtain a By Name Request prior to submitting their volunteer RELM. Marines will submit a volunteer RELM via TFRS, through their unit Career Counselors.  Career Counselors will list the Marine’s preferences in their package. Marines who are approved for a second tour will receive orders via the Recruiting Monitor. Marines must contact Manpower Management Enlisted Assignments (MMEA-25) for questions regarding orders issuance and obligate service requirements. 6.  RS availability (by corresponding BRC class) for FY28 are listed below.
