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 letter of declination 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 paragraph 8 of reference (a), selectees may defer to the
next available Warrant Officer Basic Course (WOBC) if they are not
medically qualified by BUMED or due to a personal hardship.
Selectees must submit a Request for Deferment through their chain of
command to CG MCRC.
5. WOBC seats are limited. Marines selected for WO may be deferred
to future WOBC classes based on the needs of the Marine Corps.
Individuals deferred will be notified by Headquarters Marine Corps.
6. Commanding officers shall ensure the selectee meets the
appointment requirements set forth in reference (a). 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.
7. WO selectees are slated to be appointed on 1 February 2026 at a
ceremony aboard Marine Corps Base, Quantico. WO selectees will
attend the WOBC. The mission of the WOBC is to train and educate
newly appointed 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
12 January 2026. Selectees must report no earlier than 0800 on
11 January 2026, and no later than 2359 on 11 January 2026.
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.
8. 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 (i.e. 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 31 January 2026.
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. 20260131 ;
15A-C. No ; 16. None ; 20-20A. No ; 23. Discharged ; 24.
