1 October 2018 was the scheduled active-duty-component batch date for changes in the Marine Corps Total Force System (MCTFS), not a universal individual qualification or retraining date.

  • Reserve retraining for PSMRP, Active Reserve and SMCR personnel was to be coordinated as required for MOS conversion, subject to available funds.
  • For Individual Mobilization Augmentees, Individual Ready Reservists and Standby Reservists, appropriate service record book entries were to use the headquarters conversion action as authority.
  • Formal schools were to continue awarding current MOSs until a MARADMIN directed implementation.
