GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. Marines selected for Captain on the All Fully
Qualified ALNAV, ref (b), who meet the criteria in ref (a), are
automatically offered career designation (CD). This year, 172 Marine
officers meet this criteria. Since this is the first year
implementing this process, the guidance below serves to ensure
eligible Marines are informed on the timelines and requirements
to respond to their offer.
2. CD Process
2.a. The CD offer is a milestone in a Marine officer's career.
Commanders are required to counsel those officers who have been
offered CD on the implications of either accepting or declining CD
before that officer responds. Additionally, officers considering
declining CD should also reach out to the Retention & Release
Officer (RRO), POC listed above, or their PMOS Monitor before
declining the offer of CD.
2.b. Notifications
2.b.1. On 1 August 2024, RRO will notify all officers being offered
CD via Marine Online (MOL). RRO will also notify commanders of
those officers being offered CD via Commander's Messages in MOL.
2.b.2. A list of all officers offered CD is located on the
following site:

mmoa-3-homepage
2.c. Accepting or Declining
2.c.1. Officers offered CD must accept or decline the offer by
responding to the MOL message no later than 2359 16 August 2024.
Officers who do not respond to this offer by the deadline will be
considered as having declined CD and will execute their
existing EAS.
2.c.2. Officers who accept CD will incur a 24-month active duty
service obligation beginning 24 June 2024 and ending 24 June 2026.
This obligation runs concurrently with, not in place of, any
existing or future obligation incurred by PCS orders. Officers who
accept the offer of CD will have their EAS changed to indefinite
(00000000) upon acceptance.
2.c.3. Officers who decline CD will execute their current EAS.
2.d. Reporting and Administration
2.d.1. The RRO will report the offer of CD via Unit Diary Marine
Integrated Personnel System (UDMIPS). Commands will be notified via
the Diary Feedback Report (DFR) to the respective Installation
Personnel Administration Centers (IPACs). This information will
reflect on the Officer Data (OFFD) screen in the Marine Corps Total
Force System (MCTFS).
2.d.2. The following codes can be used to determine an officer's
CD status in MCTFS:
1 - Active Screening on a CDP
2 - Offered CD
5 - Not Offered CD
6 - Accepted CD
7 - Declined CD / Did Not Respond
2.d.3. Admin Chiefs, Personnel Chiefs, Personnel Officers,
Manpower Officers, IPACs and G1s can utilize the OFFD screen via
MCTFS to verify officers who were offered, not offered, accepted, or
declined CD. This information is resident in the MCTFS record and
can be found as ACDU CAREER DESIG CODE and ACDU CAREER DESIG
CONSIDER DT.
