GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. Purpose. The assignment of Marine officers to the United States Service Academies requires high caliber individuals for positions that support the accession of junior officers into the military service within the Department of Defense and Department of Transportation. On or about 11 June 2024, a panel convened by Headquarters Marine Corps will select officers for assignment to the Service Academies in support of AY25. This panel will assign Marines to vacancies at the United States Naval Academy (USNA), the United States Military Academy (USMA), United States Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA), and the Naval Academy Preparatory School (NAPS) during AY25.
2. Changes. Effective immediately all Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) Master's Program Officers (MOS 8803) will be selected via this panel and not the Commandant's Education Board (CEB). The CEB will still screen and select Historians (MOS 8878) and other Graduate Education Master's Programs for assignment to USNA on a yearly basis.
3. Eligibility requirements
3.a. Time on station (TOS). Officers who will complete the prescribed tour control factor on their current set of orders NLT 30 September 2025 are eligible. If an officer does not meet this requirement, the officer must contact their primary MOS (PMOS) monitor to discuss waiver submission requirements.
3.b. Grade. Officers who are promoted, selected, or in-zone for the solicited billet grade requirements are eligible to apply.
3.c. Officers who meet TOS and grade requirements must also have:
3.c.1. Excellent military appearance.
3.c.2. Consistent first-class Physical Fitness Test and Combat Fitness Test scores.
3.c.3. PMOS credibility with demonstrated military proficiency.
3.c.4. No adverse material.
3.c.5. Career timing that supports a full 36-month tour in the billet grade which they are applying to.
3.c.6. Recent operational experience.
3.c.7. Those officers not applying for the LEAD Master's Program must be complete with a Master's Degree program NLT 1 August 2025 if applying for a billet that specifically requires academic instruction. Billets which do not explicitly require a Master's Degree will be annotated as such below.
3.d. For vacancies with Billet MOS (BMOS) 8824, 8844, 8846, and 8850, applicants must be current students at Naval Postgraduate School (NPS). Those applying from NPS must have a projected rotation date between 1 March 2025 and 31 December 2025 in order to apply to the billets listed below. Officers who are not currently attending NPS are ineligible to apply. The only exception to this is officers with the AMOS of 8220 (Foreign Area Officer and Regional Affairs Officers).
4. Application process
4.a. Interested officers must first contact their PMOS monitor, or Graduate Education (Grad-Ed) Manager if attending NPS, for approval to screen for assignment to a Service Academy or NAPS. Approval correspondence from the PMOS monitor or Grad-Ed Manager is a prerequisite for submission of the application.
4.b. Upon receipt of approval to screen by the PMOS monitor or Grad-Ed Manager, all officers screening for positions outlined must visit https:(slash)(slash)www.usna.edu/USMC/FacultyStaffApp.php, download, and submit the USNA staff application to MMOA-3 for positions at all US Military Academies. Follow the sample application on the website when compiling the order of documents into one single PDF for submission. If unable to download the application, or you have any questions regarding the application, contact the POCs listed below.
