  • Reserve retraining for Prior Service MOS Retraining Program, Active Reserve and Selected Marine Corps Reserve Marines was required as applicable and subject to available funds; service-record entries for Individual Mobilization Augmentees, Individual Ready Reservists and Standby Reservists used the headquarters-origin conversion action on the Diary Feedback Report as authority.
  • Formal schools continued awarding current MOSs until MARADMIN direction implemented the changes.
