GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. This MARADMIN initiates notification of, and establishes procedures for, those aviators who have been selected for continuation in accordance with section 637 of reference (a).
2. Company grade aviator population is at a level that fixed and rotary wing captains, who have twice not been selected to the rank of major, are being offered continuation of active duty service. Those officers selected for continuation are offered the opportunity to remain on active duty as specified in references (a) through (c) and detailed below.
3. All captain aviators in the above-zone per reference (d) but not selected on the FY-24 U.S. Marine Corps Major Selection ALNAV are directed to log in to Marine Online (MOL), upon release of the ALNAV, to check for notification of continuation status. Those captain aviators selected for continuation will receive a notice upon logging in to MOL.
4. MMSR-2 will enter the mandatory separation or retirement date (MSR) of 1 June 2026 into Marine Corps Total Force System (MCTFS) for all affected officers. Notifications to commands will be through the Diary Feedback Report (DFR) to the respective Installation Personnel Administration Centers (IPAC).
5. Affected officers shall be counseled regarding the ramifications of accepting or declining continuation, in accordance with reference (a).
a. The counseling officer should be a Marine officer in the grade of O-5 or higher in the affected officer's immediate chain of command. Affected officers with unique situations in which a Marine officer meeting the above criteria is not reasonably available shall contact Headquarters, U.S. Marine Corps for guidance. Contact information is located in the header information of this message.
b. All officers selected for continuation shall submit a NAVMC-118(11) (Page 11) entry, signed by themselves and their counseling officer, to Headquarters, U.S. Marine Corps Records and Performance Branch (MMRP). The Page 11 entry shall state: "I have been counseled on the ramifications of continuation on active duty for a period of 36 months. I have read and understand sections 632, 637, and 1174 of Title 10, U.S. Code, pertaining to non-selection, continuation, and subsequent separation." Page 11 entries shall be scanned and emailed to MMRP at [email protected].
6. Acceptance of continuation
a. Officers who accept continuation will incur a 36-month active duty service extension beginning 1 June 2023 and ending 1 June 2026. This continuation period will run concurrently with, not in place of, any existing obligation.
b. Officers selected for continuation are considered to have accepted the offer of continuation if no action is taken by 2359 EST, 31 January 2023. These officers will retain the MSR of 1 June 2026. Affected officers shall communicate their intent to accept or decline continuation to their monitor.
c. Officers electing to decline continuation shall express their declination and intent to be separated via signed NAVMC Form 10274, Administrative Action Form (AA form) to MMSR-2(O) prior to 2359 EST, 31 January 2023. AA forms shall state that the officer declines continuation on active duty and that they accept separation on 1 June 2023. AA forms shall be scanned and emailed to MMSR-2(O) at [email protected] and the affected officer's monitor.
d. Per reference (e), officers previously approved to transfer their Post-9/11 GI Bill to their dependents (i.e., TEB) will be considered to have completed their previously approved TEB-related service agreement (i.e., indicated by your TEB Obligation Date) upon separation, with an honorable discharge, to twice not being selected for promotion. The following parameters apply:
(1) An officer not offered continuation will have the TEB obligation end date adjusted to his or her new separation or retirement date (if the officer has not already fulfilled the TEB obligation).
(2) An officer who is offered and accepts continuation will have the TEB obligation end date adjusted to their new separation or retirement date (if the officer has not already fulfilled the TEB obligation).
(3) An officer who is offered and declines continuation will have the TEB cancelled if the officer has not already fulfilled the TEB obligation and doesn't directly affiliate into the Selected Reserve (SELRES) to complete TEB obligation per reference (f). The amount of any transferred entitlement that is used as of the date will be subject to collection by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
e. Acceptance of continuation will make officers eligible for future promotion opportunities, as well as permanent change of station orders, permanent change of assignment orders, or an extension of current orders. Affected officers should contact MMOA-2 to discuss future opportunities for continuation. Fixed Wing Company Grade Monitor, Capt Anthony Gutierrez, (703) 784-9267, e-mail: [email protected].
