CHAPTER 3

SEPARATION AND RETIREMENT OF RESERVE OFFICERS NOT ON ACTIVE

DUTY AND RETIREMENT OF ENLISTED RESERVISTS NOT ON ACTIVE DUTY

Inactive Status List (ISL) of the Standby Reserve or to the Retired Reserve.

A Reservist on the active status list (ASL) may be on active or inactive

duty, in the Selected Marine Corps Reserve (SMCR) or Individual Ready Reserve

(IRR).

2. Reserve Retirement Credit and Points

. Terms used interchangeably which

refer to the method provided by law for awarding actual or constructive days

of service. Points are used to determine qualifying service creditable

toward retirement eligibility, and toward retired pay. They are also used,

a. Qualifying service is credited per 10 U.S.C. Section 12732. It

provides that almost all military service prior to 1 July 1949 is creditable

as qualifying service. After 30 June 1949, a year of qualifying service is

credited when a minimum of 50 retirement points (including 15 gratuitous

membership points) is earned and a full 365/366 day period is served during

the Marine's anniversary year. See paragraph 3012.

b. Use of the terms "satisfactory Federal service" and "satisfactory

service" is misleading; 10 U.S.C. 12732 is based on "qualifying service".

. A period of 12 consecutive months (365 days or 366

days during a leap year) during which a member must accrue a minimum of 50

points (including gratuitous points) for it to be credited as a qualifying

year.

5. Anniversary Date

. The date on which the anniversary year commences. It

is assigned to Reservists based on the following criteria:

a. For members of any Reserve component prior to 1 July 1949, the

continuous active Reserve status is maintained. Any component change (e.g.,

3002 MARINE CORPS SEPARATION AND RETIREMENT MANUAL

Regular to Reserve or vice-versa) between 1 July 1949 and 1 July 1965

requires a change in the anniversary date.

c. For members of any Reserve component after 30 June 1965, the

anniversary year begins on the date shown below. Each succeeding year will

begin on the anniversary of that date, when the member does not have a break

(1) For a member whose initial entry (or reentry after a break in

service of greater than 24 hours) into a Reserve component is after 30 June

1965, the anniversary year begins on the date of entry or reentry. Each

succeeding "year" begins on the anniversary of that date, when continuous

service in any branch or component of the Armed Forces is maintained. A

change of service or component without a break in service of greater than

24 hours does not change the member's anniversary date. For this purpose,

interservice transfers are not

considered a break in service.

(2) Members of a Reserve component of another branch of the Armed

Forces on 1 July 1965, subsequently enlisted or appointed in the Marine Corps

of the Armed Forces on 1 July 1965, and subsequently assigned to, enlisted or

appointed in the Marine Corps Reserve without a break in service of greater

1. The President, or the Secretary of the Navy acting for the President, may

accept the resignation of an officer of the Marine Corps Reserve. The

MARINE CORPS SEPARATION AND RETIREMENT MANUAL 3003

Officers must provide justification and command endorsements. Paragraph 4104

applies.

2. Submit letters of resignation to the Secretary of the Navy via the CMC

(MMSR-5) and the COMMARFORRES. Resignations from officers of the Selected

Marine Corps Reserve (SMCR) are submitted via the COMMARFORRES. Resignations

officer's service record will contain a statement that the officer has

completed all obligated service.

3. Expunging Resignation-Related Material

a. Officers who have a resignation withdrawal request approved by the

3003 MARINE CORPS SEPARATION AND RETIREMENT MANUAL

2. Reserve officers with less than 3 years of commissioned service and

Reserve warrant officers with less than 3 years of service as a warrant

officer may be separated from the Marine Corps Reserve without the benefit of

a hearing or board procedure for Substandard Performance of Duty or for

Parenthood, per SECNAVINST 1920.6 using the notification procedures contained

therein.

Reserve warrant officers with more than 3 years of service as a warrant

officer, respectively, may be separated per paragraph 4103 (Separation for

Cause) and SECNAVINST 1920.6 only upon recommendation of a Board of Inquiry.

4. Reserve officers and Reserve warrant officers, regardless of length of

Commisioned service or service as a warrant officer, respectively, may be

separated from the Marine Corps Reserve without a hearing or board procedure

per paragraph 3003.6 (Lack of Mobilization Potential) or paragraph 3005.2

MARINE CORPS SEPARATION AND RETIREMENT MANUAL 3003

(1) Lack of funds result in nonavailability of training; or

(2) Circumstances of an unusual nature (as determined by the CMC on a

case-by-case basis).

i. An officer whose ecclesiastical endorsement has been withdrawn.

will be notified per SECNAVINST 1920.6. Boards will be convened under

regulations prescribed by the CMC and approved by the Secretary of the Navy.

Upon recommendation by a board to separate an officer for lack of

mobilization potential, the CMC (RAP) will either:

a. Transfer the officer to the ISL of the Standby Reserve, if the

officer is not qualified for, or does not request, transfer to the Retired

Reserve;

c. Recommend to the Secretary of the Navy that the officer be honorably

discharged from the Marine Corps Reserve.

7. A Reserve commissioned officer may be dismissed, and a Reserve warrant

officer may be discharged, as the result of an approved sentence of a general

court-martial.

8. The President or the Secretary of the Navy may drop from the rolls any

member of the Reserve component in an unauthorized absence status for a

period of 3 months or more; or sentenced to confinement in a Federal or State

a. A discharge under other than honorable conditions is effected

pursuant to the approved sentence of a court-martial or the approved findings

of a Board of Inquiry convened by competent authority; or

b. The officer consents to discharge under other than honorable

conditions in lieu of trial by court-martial or appearing before board

proceedings.

10. Officers on the retired list of the Marine Corps Reserve, with or

request or with their consent, transfer between Reserve components as follows

(see MCO 1001R.1 paragraph 2204 for officers and 2404 for enlisted

personnel):

a. The Reservist with a remaining military obligation under law may be

transferred when:

(1) The Reservist has special experience or professional,

educational, or technical skills which are of greater value to the gaining

component than they are to the Reservist's current component; or, the

(3) The losing component has no paid-drill (Selected Reserve) unit to

which the Reservist can be usefully assigned within commuting distance of the

Reservist's current or anticipated domicile or place of business; and

(4) The gaining component approves the transfer and the losing

component:

(a) Approves the transfer; or

(b) Disapproves the transfer and the disapproval is annulled by:

transferred when the gaining component approves the transfer because it is in

the best interest of military preparedness.

c. The Reservist desires transfer to enroll in an officer candidate

program (including college-level Reserve Officer Training Corps) and the

prospective gaining component accepts the member.

(1) The losing component will approve the transfer if the Reservist

has no remaining service obligation under law.

recruitment of a replacement.

MARINE CORPS SEPARATION AND RETIREMENT MANUAL 3004

2. Interservice transfer will be accomplished by discharge from the

Reservist's current Reserve component for immediate enlistment or appointment

in the gaining Reserve component. The following conditions apply:

a. Discharge and reenlistment, appointment in another Reserve component,

or termination of current commission and reappointment in another component

military service accrued as of the date of transfer.

b. Discharge for interservice transfer under this Manual will not

constitute release from, or fulfillment of, military service obligation

established by law. However, additional service performed after such

discharge will be counted towards fulfillment of that obligation.

3. Exceptions/Limitations

. The policies in paragraphs 3004.1 and 3004.2 are

subject to the following:

a. After 1 June 1984, an officer who initially becomes a member of an

higher reserve grade, the officer will be retained in an active status in his

reserve grade for the remaining period of required service and may be only

d. An officer may not be transferred from one Reserve component and

appointed as a Reserve officer in another with a higher grade or precedence

than that held on the day before the transfer.

4. Requests for transfer between Reserve components may be initiated by the

Reservist, or by appropriate authority in the gaining component with the

individual's consent. The request will be processed within 30 days for

3009 MARINE CORPS SEPARATION AND RETIREMENT MANUAL

4. Continuation of Reserve Officers

policy:

a. Title 10 U.S.C. Section 14701 provides the Secretary of the Navy with

the option of continuing Reserve officers in the grades of captain through

colonel beyond the maximum service limitations of 20 YCS, 28 YCS, and 30 YCS,

respectively. If continuation is offered, officers must apply in writing to

the president of the respective continuation board. Approval is subject to

the needs of the Marine Corps. The statutory limits of such continuation are

as follows:

(3) Maximum continuation for a Reserve lieutenant colonel is 5

years, not to exceed a total of 33 YCS.

(4) Maximum continuation for a Reserve colonel is 5 years, not to

exceed a total of 35 YCS.

b. Continuation opportunities are limited and are based on the needs of

the Marine Corps. Continuation requires the convening of a statutory board

approved by the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) to consider officers for

3009. RETIRED RESERVE

2. Enlisted members must be serving within the unexpired term of an

enlistment contract or on a valid extension to the enlistment contract on the

effective date of transfer to the Retired Reserve. Discharge by reason of

expiration of enlistment, effected before transfer to the Retired Reserve,

separates a Marine from the Marine Corps Reserve. Former members are not

entitled to transfer to the Retired Reserve or any retirement benefits except

as may be provided by law (see paragraph 3019).

3010. RETIREMENT WITH PAY BASED ON ACTIVE SERVICE

MARINE CORPS SEPARATION AND RETIREMENT MANUAL 3011

2. Enlisted Reservists on active duty who have completed 20 years of active

service may request transfer to the Fleet Marine Corps Reserve (FMCR) or

retirement under the provisions of chapter 7 of this Manual.

3011. TRANSFER TO THE RESERVE RETIRED LIST WITH PAY

a. The member performs the last 8 years of qualifying service while a

member of a Reserve component. (National Defense Authorization Act For 1990,

extended by Public Law 105-261/Section 561, permits transfer to the retired

reserve if the last 6 years of qualifying service were performed as a member

of a Reserve component through 30 September 2001)

b. The member is not entitled under any other provision of law to

retired pay from an Armed Force or retainer pay as a member of the FMCR.

a. An individual who served 14 years as a Reservist and then 6 years in

the Regular Marine Corps must serve an additional 8 years in a Reserve status

to qualify for reserve retired pay. In this example, an additional 8 years

service in a Reserve status is necessary to meet the requirement that the

last 8 years of qualifying service be as a member of a Reserve component.

b. An individual who served 4 years as a Reservist, then 13 years in the

Regular Marine Corps, then 4 more years as a Reservist, must serve an

additional 4 years in a Reserve component to qualify for reserve retired pay.

In this example although the Marine has completed over 20 years of service, 4

notification will be issued by the CMC (MMSR-5). Do not submit individual

requests unless a qualified member does not receive notification within the

prescribed 1 year period. Only the CMC (MMSR-5) is authorized to issue an

official statement of service to Reservists. No summary of retirement

credits/qualifying years (i.e., the automated Career Retirement Credit

Record) is presented to a Reservist as an official

statement of service

3012 MARINE CORPS SEPARATION AND RETIREMENT MANUAL

3012. QUALIFYING SERVICE

1. To determine whether a member has completed the required 20 years of

qualifying service for retired pay purposes, the member's years of service

(less time lost) performed in the status of a commissioned officer, warrant

officer, midshipman, cadet, or enlisted member are creditable.

a. Service Before 1 July 1949

. Contact the CMC (MMSR-5).

b. Service After 1 July 1949

each anniversary year in which at least 50 points were credited as follows:

(1) One point for each day of active service, including annual

training duty or while attending a prescribed course of instruction at a

school designated as a service school by law or by the Secretary concerned.

(2) One point for each period of inactive duty or instruction or

correspondence course) that was prescribed for that year by the Secretary of

the military department concerned and conformed to the requirements

(3) Points (gratuitous) for membership at the rate of 15 per

time the member was in an active status will be considered as a partial year

of qualifying service provided the member earned the required points, on a

pro rata basis, during that particular period.

(b) Figure 3-3 shows minimum points required to establish a

partial year of qualifying service.

less than a full anniversary year or for only those portions of an

anniversary year spent in a Reserve component

(d) To pro rate, the member must be removed from an active status

at the end of the period to be pro rated by discharge, transfer to the ISL,

or transfer to the Retired Reserve.

(e) For example, if a Reservist is in an active status for 180

longer than the prorated period and fails to earn additional points, then the

period may become nonqualifying.

(7) Time Not Creditable

c. The DODFMR defines creditable service and provides an all inclusive

list for service that is not creditable for computation of retired pay.

2. Retired Grade Determination (Officers)

a. A Reserve commissioned officer, who is selected for promotion to a

higher grade and whose retirement is required before promotion to the higher

3012 MARINE CORPS SEPARATION AND RETIREMENT MANUAL

b. Unless entitled to a higher grade under another provision of law, a

Reserve commissioned officer above the grade of chief warrant officer (CWO-5)

who requests voluntary retirement will be retired in the highest

grade satisfactorily held upon completion of the following service-in-grade

requirements:

O-5 & above ALL 3 years (2 years until

1 October 2001)

c. The nature and severity of any misconduct.

5. Retired Grade Determination (Additional Factors)

a. Inactive duty personnel are required to earn a minimum of 50

retirement points to satisfy each year of the service-in-grade requirement.

Any period less than a full year the member must make qualifying by earning

the required number points shown in Figure 3-3 for the actual number of days

MARINE CORPS SEPARATION AND RETIREMENT MANUAL 3014

b. If the CMC determines that a member's service is not satisfactory in

the highest grade, the retired grade will be the grade in which satisfactory

service was last performed.

3013. COMPUTATION OF RETIRED PAY

b. Days of full-time service while performing annual training duty or

while attending a prescribed course of instruction at a school designated as

a service school by law or by the Secretary of the military department.

3012.1b(2) and 3012.1b(3), but not more than 75 days in any 1 year.

d. Before 1 July 1949, contact the CMC (MMSR-5).

B = monthly basic pay at rates applicable on the date when retired pay is

granted for the highest grade held satisfactorily at anytime in the Armed

Forces.

YOS = years of service for basic pay purposes are computed from pay entry

base date (PEBD) to date of first eligibility for retired pay (date of

separation if a former member).

1. DoD Instruction 1200.15 of 18 September 1997 suspended the honorary

retiree program. While members previously transferred to the retired Reserve

in an honorary status will not necessarily be discharged, no additional

personnel may be similarly transferred unless authorized by the CMC to meet

a. The member is being involuntarily separated under honorable

conditions and possesses a skill or profession in a critical area necessary

to meet active duty or mobilization requirements which is in very short

supply and which cannot be found in sufficient quantities in other members on

the active duty list or the Reserve active status list; or
