2. Selected Active Reserve (AR) Marines 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 via a canvassing recruiter to MCRC to coordinate the
augmentation per ref (c). Once augmented, Marines are directed to
provide an updated Basic Individual Record reflecting the component
change to the MCRC POC.
3. Selectees who desire to decline appointment in the primary MOS
in which selected, shall submit A Declination of Appointment 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.
4. Per reference (d), selectees are no longer authorized to defer
their attendance to the Warrant Officer Basic Course (WOBC).
Therefore, selectees are expected to either attend the FY27 WOBC or
decline the appointment to WO.
5. Commanding officers shall ensure the selectee meets the
appointment requirements set forth in reference (a). Marines will
not report to WOBC if they are currently under investigation, have
any pending legal action them, or if they have failed to run a first
class PFT within 90 days of the convene date of WOBC per reference
(a). Both of these requirements will be captured on the Screening
Checklist sent out by the WOBC Executive Officer in the Welcome
Aboard email. Marines who are not fully medically ready will be
dropped during medical in-processing when identified by The Basic
School medical staff. If a selectee fails to meet those
requirements, the commanding officer will initiate a delay in
accordance with reference (a) and the appointment will not be
effected.
6. WO selectees are slated to be appointed on 19 April 2027 at a
ceremony aboard Marine Corps Base, Quantico. WO selectees will
attend the WOBC. The mission of the WOBC is to train and educate
aspiring 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 professional abilities required to
serve as a platoon commander in a support role. By separate
orders, selectees will be ordered by the CMC Manpower Management
(MM) to report to the Commanding Officer, The Basic School (TBS) to
attend the WOBC that is scheduled to convene on 19 January 2027.
Selectees must report no earlier than 0800 on 18 January 2027, and
no later than 2359 on 18 January 2027. References (d) and (e)
define the differences in duty under instructions, temporary
additional duty (TAD), temporary duty under instructions (TEMINS),
and reassignment orders in relation to per diem and other allowances.
It is requested that as many selectees as possible be sent TAD to
TBS. This reduces the administrative hardship on TBS as well as on
the selectees. It is requested that any selectee with more than 30
days between WOBC graduation and follow-on school be sent TAD to TBS.
The report date to the WOBC was modified in order to effectively
screen selectees and ensure they meet the standards outlined in
reference (a) prior to appointment.
7. Orders Process
a. Although the majority of students will be attending WOBC
via TAD orders from their command, the individual monitors will
determine if an individual executes TEMINS orders or TAD orders to
WOBC.
1) Marines with no dependents (CONUS and OCONUS) will
be issued TEMINS orders.
2) Marines with dependents (CONUS and OCONUS) or single
Marines who were previously authorized to reside off-base will be
issued TAD orders via DTS and a funding letter will be provided in
Marine Corps Training Information Management System (MCTIMS) by
TECOM. Marines attending WOBC in a TAD status should ensure proper
administrative and legal documents are completed prior to departing
to WOBC (e.g. Power of Attorney).
b. The point of contact for TAD orders is your local
administrative office or consolidated admin center. The point of
contact for all other order types is the respective monitor at
Manpower Management Officer Assignments (MMOA).
c. All commanders issuing orders for Marines to attend WOBC
will ensure a DD Form 214 is created via the Document Tracking and
Management System (DTMS) in Marine Online (MOL). The DD Form 214
will cover all active duty enlisted service through 18 April 2027.
Ensure strict compliance with reference (g). Although the hard copy
DD Form 214 may be signed and copies 1 and 4 issued to the Marine
prior to executing orders to TBS, the DD Form 214 should not be
certified, published, and distributed via DTMS until the unit has
confirmed the individuals' appointment/commission via the Marine
Corps Total Force System (MCTFS). Upon appointment/commission
confirmation, the DD Form 214 may be certified, published and
distributed per the current edition of reference (g).
d. If a selectee is found unqualified or is otherwise not
appointed for any reason after executing orders to TBS, the DD Form
214 previously generated via DTMS shall be deleted and any hard
copy DD Form 214 issued to the Marine shall be shredded, as
appropriate. The following blocks/items will be standard on each
2026 enlisted to warrant officer DD Form 214: 12B. 20270418 ;
15A-C. No ; 16. None ; 20-20A. No ; 23. Discharged ; 24.
Honorable ; 25. MARCORSEPMAN 6404.1 ; 26. KGM1 ; 27. N/A ; 28.
Accept commission or warrant in same branch of service . All other
provisions of ref (g) for this occasion shall apply to all other
sections of the DD Form 214.
8. Administration
a. 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 1-27 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
package will contain important information concerning the upcoming
WOBC, including check-in procedures and amplifying comments for this
message. The TBS point of contact will be the WOBC 1-27 Executive
Officer who will reach out to selectees NLT four weeks prior to
course pickup.
b. Selectees must report to TBS with original orders, Defense
Travel System travel authorizations, completed DD Form 214 in
accordance with the information in the paragraph above, and complete
health and dental records. The Appointment Acceptance (NAVMC 763)
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 uniform or be prepared to have their uniforms tailored
prior to the appointment ceremony.
9. Training Requirement
a. Selectees are encouraged to arrive in peak physical
condition due to the rigors of the course. Selectees must achieve a
first class physical fitness test (PFT) prior to appointment as
outlined in reference (a) and maintain Marine Corps Body Composition
and Military Appearance standards per reference (j). Those who are
not within standards or do not score a first class PFT after two
attempts will be dropped from the course prior. If a Marine is
dropped from training, the CO TBS will make a recommendation to DC,
M&RA whether to allow the Marine to return to the following year's
WOBC, or disenroll them from the Warrant Officer Program. There will
be extended field time at the WOBC. Selectees are highly encouraged
to practice running the obstacle course with an emphasis on rope
climbing. Hiking under load and running in boots and utilities are
also highly recommended. Passing a conditioning hike under
prescribed load, a standard Marine Corps Obstacle Course, and the TBS
Endurance Course are required to graduate from WOBC.
b. Selectees with less than 13 years of service are encouraged
to be current rifle and pistol qualified prior to attending WOBC
1-27 as the number of range seats available at their first duty
station as an officer will be limited, if available at all.
c. Selectees are required to read and review the following
publications prior to check in:
1. MCDP 1
2. MCDP 1-3

d. Once selectees have been in-processed, there will be an
appointment ceremony on 19 April 2027. Further details will be
made available on the TBS website and through follow-on
correspondence with India Company staff.
e. All required training must be completed within 36 months of
appointment in order to be considered and selected for promotion to
Chief Warrant Officer 2. If all training is not completed within 36
months of appointment, the appointment will be terminated.
10. Commanding officers are required to document, by page 11 entry,
a permanent WO selectee's acknowledgement of the probationary
status of his or her appointment. Active component WO selectees
will receive the following entry: "I understand that the first
three years as a permanent warrant officer is a probationary period,
and that the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) may terminate the
appointment of any warrant officer who fails to complete the WOBC,
or any required MOS follow-on school. A Marine whose appointment
is terminated, may, upon his or her request and at the discretion of
SECNAV, be enlisted in a grade not lower than that held immediately
prior to appointment." Marines selected for the warrant officer
program will incur a 3-year obligation from the date of appointment.

then copies of the current and previous years preventative health
assessment (PHA) is required in addition to the physical examination.
d. Local medical personnel and the selectee must closely
review a selectee's medical and dental records to ensure accuracy
and completeness prior to their arrival at TBS. Selectees should
arrive at TBS fully medically ready to train at the time of check
in with no outstanding medical issues that would preclude training.
