(3) Humanitarian Discharge. Hardship is determinedlong-term in nature exceeding 36-months.

b. All humanitarian requests are managed by theHumanitarian Assistance Coordinator at HQMC (MMEA). ARPersonnel are directed to references (i), (n), and (s) fordetailed information on humanitarian requests.

7. Dual-Service Spouse / Joint Household

a. Although the importance of family unity is recognized,military service by its very nature involves family separation.When both spouses are service members, every effort will be madeto prevent separations longer than those incurred by Marineswith civilian spouses. Military couples will be provided areasonable opportunity to establish a joint household with dueregard to the requirements of the service lAW reference (n).Staffing considerations are paramount and there must be a validrequirement in component, grade, and MaS for the Marine at thespouse's duty station or nearest military installation within areasonable weekend commuting distance.

b. The Marine Corps' ability to co-locate dual-servicespouses is sometimes limited, particularly when one of thespouses is a member of another service, an AC Marine, or ARMarine with a low density MOS. AR Structure is limited in manylocations which further constricts the ability to establish ajoint household. AR Marines are advised that the ability toestablish consecutive joint households is not guaranteed.Additionally, Career Designation for some Marines may beimpacted by the inherent limitations on the Corps' ability tofacilitate continued joint households for reasons stated above.

c. Military spouses not stationed within close proximity ofeach other may request a transfer for the purpose ofestablishing a joint household. However, Marines who marryafter executing PCS orders are expected to complete minimum timeon station requirements prior to being issued subsequent PCSorders to establish a joint household.

8. Single Parents. Single parents will be assigned on thebasis of the same policies and procedures applicable to otherMarines. The Marine Corps recognizes the unique situations thatoccur when single parents are assigned to some types of duty orparticular duty stations; however, a preferential assignmentpolicy regarding single parents would be discriminatory towards

MCO 1001.52J6 JUN 2011

other Marines. HQMC (RAM) implements single parent assignmentpolicy lAW reference (n).

9. Officer Grade Caps and Grade Shaping

a. Title 10 U.S. Code limits the number of officers servingin the AR program as well as authorized grade caps for colonels,lieutenant colonels and majors.

b. Due to these statutory grade strength limitations,officers' dates of rank often further define eligibility forservice in the AR Program. Non-compliance with this accessionpolicy can result in AR officers selected to the next highergrade having their promotions delayed (if such promotions wouldcause the AR program to exceed statutory grade limitations) .Adjustment of commissioned officer's date of rank is precluded.

10. Career Management

a. All Marines are responsible to manage their personalMarine Corps career. All leaders should encourage their Marinesto become familiar with the tools available to assist them.

b. Career counseling for AR Marines is provided by HQMC(RCT). Prior to receiving feedback from a counselor, Marineswill be required to review the Self Assessment Counseling Tooland complete the Counseling Checklist. The Self Counseling toolcan be found at:https://www.manpower.usmc.mil/portal/page?_pageid=278.1960798&_dad=portal& schema=PORTAL.

c. Career Pattern. The Marine Corps has not established anexpected or preferred career pattern for officers of the AC orRC. Officers rarely have direct influence over theirassignments. As a result of assignment policies and practicesdetermined to be in the best interests of the Marine Corps, someunrestricted officers have developed skills and experienceoutside of their primary MOS and may have been ordered to servemultiple tours in that sub-specialty. The Marine Corps benefitswhen the officer corps possesses a broad spectrum of experiencesthat are critical to the Marine Corps.

d. Career Paths. RC service typically does not fit intocareer templates as neatly as AC service, however, appendix Boffers models that illustrate a common AR career path.Deviation from these paths is in no way a career hindrance.

11. Career Designation. Officers must apply for careerdesignation through a board process, held concurrently with theOfficer Accession Board, in order to continue serving on the ARProgram at the conclusion of their initial accession tour.Process guidelines and instructions will be promulgated byMARADMIN announcing the board. Unrestricted officers areeligible to apply for career designation after having 540cumulative days of observed reporting while serving on theprogram from their original accession date. Those selected forcareer designation will be assigned an indefinite Expiration ofActive Service (EAS) and will be retained on the AR programconsistent with Marine Corps requirements, grade limitations,applicable statutory provisions, and service policy. Those not

. selected for career designation or those not applying for careerdesignation will continue serving until reaching the expirationof active service date originally established at the time ofinitial accession.

12. Promotions

a. Officer Promotions. AR Officers selected for promotionin the AR competitive category are independent of AC and otherRC promotions and are based solely on the constraints of theprogram. AR Officers compete for promotion in their owncompetitive category which may mirror the date of rrank (DOR)and date of promotion for the AC if the Running Mate System isinstituted for that promotion board.

(1) Grade Limitations. Title 10 U.S. Code sets specificgrade limitations for the AR program. The promotion zone andopportunity is calculated to adhere to controlled gradelimitations and offer a consistent selection opportunity,commensurate with that experienced by officers competing on theActive Duty List (ADL). Because the accession process does notalways produce an equal and equivalent number of officers withineach year group, the actual zone may vary considerably from yearto year in order to maintain the necessary selection opportunityand not exceed controlled grade limitations.

(2) General Officer. There are no general officerbillets in the AR competitive category. An AR colonel whodesires to compete for the grade of 0-7 must be released fromactive duty in the AR program at least 60 days prior to theconvening date of the Reserve Brigadier General promotion board.

When both spouses are service members, every effort will be madeto prevent separations longer than those incurred by Marineswith civilian spouses. Military couples will be provided areasonable opportunity to establish a joint household with dueregard to the requirements of the service. Staffingconsiderations are paramount and there must be a validrequirement in component, grade, and MOS for the Marine at thespouse's duty station or nearest military installation within areasonable weekend commuting distance.

b. The Marine Corps' ability to co-locate dual-servicespouses is sometimes limited, particularly when one of thespouses is a member of another service, an AC Marine, or ARMarines with low density MOS. AR structure is limited in manylocations which further constricts the ability to establish ajoint household. AR Marines are advised that the ability toestablish consecutive joint households is not guaranteed.Additionally, Career Designation for some Marines may beimpacted by the inherent limitations on the Corps' ability tofacilitate continued joint households for reasons states above.

c. Military spouses not stationed within close proximity ofeach other may request a transfer for the purpose ofestablishing a joint household. However, Marines who marryafter executing PCS orders are expected to complete minimum timeon station requirements prior to requesting subsequent PCSorders to establish a joint household.

12. Single Parents. Single parents will be assigned on thebasis of the same policies and procedures applicable to otherMarines. The Marine Corps recognizes the unique situations thatoccur when single parents are assigned to some types of duty orparticular duty stations; however a preferential assignmentpolicy regarding single parents would be discriminatory towardother Marines. HQMC (RAM) implements single parent assignmentpolicy lAW reference (n)

13. Enlisted Grade Caps

a. Reference (a) limits the number of enlisted serving inthe AR program as well as prescribed grade caps for E-8s and E­9s.

9s). These limits affect promotions as outlined in chapter 3section 17.

14. Enlisted Grade Shaping. Enlisted grade shaping is basedoff of the Authorized Strength Report (ASR) received twice ayear (Feb and Aug) from Total Force Structure Division (TFSD)and Title 10 restrictions for E-8s and E-9s.

15. Career Management

a. Marines are responsible for managing their Marine Corpscareers. Leaders should encourage their Marines to becomefamiliar with the resources and tools available to assist themin that effort.

b. Career counseling for AR Marines (Sgt and above) isprovided by HQMC (RCT). Prior to receiving feedback from acounselor, Marines will be required to review the SelfAssessment Counseling Tool and complete the CounselingChecklist. The Self Counseling tool can be found at:https://www.manpower.usmc.mil/portal/page?_pageid=278.1960798&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL.

c. Career Paths. Reserve service typically does not fitinto career templates as neatly as does active service.However, the table below offers models that illustrate a common,if not an ideal, AR career path. Deviation from these pathsshould in no way be considered a career hindrance. Theestablishment and adherence to a desired career path provides afoundation for understanding reserve unique requirements andfunctions specific to Total Force integration.
