assistance in establishing or refining unit internal control
procedures is available from the IPAC, Quality Assurance Section.

requires, under the provision of the references and their updates and
direction from higher headquarters.

the member and comparison of data in MCTFS.
2. The BIR will be audited and corrective action taken. The audited
BIR, complete with signatures and dependent certification will be
reported via unit diary within 5 business days. The date the BIR is
signed will be used as the BAH certification date.
5-2

3. The RED will be audited and corrective action reported in MCTFS.
RED’s are no longer required to be scanned in the members OMPF unless
they have more than 5 children.
4. The Record of Service, Individual Deployment Record, Awards,
Career Sea, Remarks Summary, BTR, and Education Screens in MCTFS will
be audited and corrective action taken as required. These documents
will be returned to the Marine. Note: Source documentation verifying
proposed updates will usually be required.
5. Marines are required to inform IPAC with immediate notification of
changes that may affect the status of pay entitlements. Such changes
include: marriage/divorce, separation for the purpose of, or intent
to divorce, birth/death/acquisition of a dependent, change in BAH
status/residence on or off base.
5103. DEPENDENT ADD/LOSS PACKAGES. Marines who experience a change
in marital status or gains/losses of a family member must immediately
notify the Customer Service Section. These changes require both unit
diary reporting to correct information into MCTFS and a complete
review of all entitlements. Marines requiring this type of
administrative service must report to the IPAC with all supporting
documents, i.e. marriage/birth certificates, divorce decrees, etc.
Note: ID cards are issued by the I.D. Card/DEERS and Passport Office.
5104. SGLI, TSGLI, AND FMSGLI. Marines must verify their
SGLI/TSGLI/FMSGLI during every audit conducted or any time the Marine
desires to change the SGLI contract (Note: SGLI is separate from the
RED). Increases in coverage are effective the first day of the month
the new SGLI form was executed. Decreases in coverage are not
effective until the 1st day of the month following the month the new
SGLI was signed. Marines must verify that the correct SGLI premium is
being deducted from their pay (contained in the LES). Notification
will be sent to spouse when they are not the beneficiary or designated
to receive less than 100 percent. When the IPAC receives an
undelivered spouse letter, the address recorded in the log will first
be verified to confirm the address is correct. If the sent
correspondence has an incorrect address listed, the member will be
contacted to visit the IPAC to complete a new audit to update the
information. Upon completion of the audit the process is repeated and
the letter is resent to the spouse.
5105. RED. RED information is vital to contacting family members in
the event of death or serious injury. Each Marine is responsible for
ensuring the information on their RED is current and accurate. These
changes include address/telephone changes of family members, parents,
guardian information, and child(ren) information. Some RED
information can be updated via MOL at www.mol.usmc.mil. During
required audits, Marine’s will be required to sign their original RED.

5106. TRICARE FAMILY MEMBER DENTAL PROGRAM. Personnel offices no
longer have the capability to report enrollment or disenrollment of
dental coverage for service members. For inquiries regarding such
coverage, Marines must contact United Concordia Companies Inc (UCCI)
directly by calling (888) 662-2256 or visiting www.ucci.com on the
internet.
5107. BASIC ALLOWANCE FOR SUBSISTENCE (BAS). All Marines entitled to
basic pay are entitled to a BAS. Marines who are not authorized to
mess separately will be provided a meal card and will be charged for
meals at the Discounted Meal Rate (DMR).
1. Marital status alone does not entitle a service member to be
authorized to mess separately. Marines in the grade of E-6 and above
are automatically authorized to mess separately. Sergeants and below
who reside with their dependents are authorized to mess separately.
All Sergeants and below must be authorized to mess separately. In
special cases, service members may request authorization to mess
separately in case of medical restrictions, religious reasons, or due
to irregular work hours. No service member is authorized to receive
BAS, without the DMR deduction while in possession of a meal card or
while participating in field duty. Marines receiving BAS and not in
possession of a meal card, who are placed on restriction, are required
to report to the IPAC Customer Service Section for issuance of a meal
card. Sergeant and below who permanently move into the barracks from
off base housing are also required to obtain a meal card from IPAC.
Authorization to mess separately will not be approved retroactively.
2. Marines in the following categories are authorized to mess
separately:
a. Headquarters & Service Battalion personnel in the following
categories:
(1) Band Members.
(2) Ceremonial Platoon Members.
(3) Commanding General’s/Commander’s driver.
(4) Motor Transportation personnel assigned to Range
Management Section.
(5) Marines assigned to Marine Corps Information Operation
Center.
(6) Marines assigned to Service Company Ammunition Supply
Point.
(7) Marines assigned to the National Museum of the Marine
Corps.
5-4

MCINCR-MCBQO P5001.1A
22 Mar 16

(8) Marines approved to BAH Own-Right.
5108. BASIC ALLOWANCE FOR HOUSING (BAH). BAH is based on geographic
duty location, pay grade, and family member status/location. The
intent of BAH is to provide uniformed service members accurate and
equitable housing compensation based on housing costs in local
civilian housing markets, and is payable when government quarters are
not provided (JTR).
1. BAH Own Right (O/R) is not authorized for MCINCR-MCBQ personnel in
pay grade E-5 and below unless requested for and approved to reside
off base by the MCINCR-MCBQ Commander. MCAF personnel in pay grade
E-5 and below must be approved by the CO, MCAF. Personnel in the pay
grade E-5 and below married to service members who do not establish a
joint household, or do not have physical custody of dependent children
will be required to request permission to reside off base. If service
members are approved BAH O/R within the first 60 days after their
report date, ensure a supplemental travel claim is submitted for
Dislocation Allowance (DLA) O/R. All approved requests must be
submitted to the Customer Service Section for proper reporting and
retention.
2. Upon the loss of a dependent (through divorce, death, etc.),
Marines residing on the economy have 90 days to submit for entitlement
to BAH Own Right. The BAH qualifier will be changed to Own Right (and
the member will be temporarily authorized COMRATS) while requests to
remain off-base are being processed. At the end of the 90 day period,
or upon disapproval of the BAH requests, the BAH qualifier will be
changed to BAH Partial and a meal card will be issued. If the service
member resides on the economy for 90 days and fails to submit a BAH
request through the command, then the BAH will be stopped effective
the loss of dependent date vice the end of 90 days. For Dependents
over the age of 21 a notification will be sent out by the IPAC to have
the member elect to certify their entitlement for BAH within 15
working days. If a member is only trying to claim the student for
Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System enrollment/medical
purposes, he/she does not need to submit a Dependency Statement-FullTime Student.
5109. BAH-DIFF. Marines who claim BAH solely upon the financial
support of a dependent minor child, may be eligible for BAH-DIFF if
such financial support is equal or greater than the amount of BAHDIFF. If support payments are less than the amount of BAH-DIFF and
the member has no other qualifying criteria which would make them
eligible for a greater BAH rate, the service member is entitled to
BAH-partial only. If a Marine is authorized to reside off base, and
child support payments are equal to or greater than the amount of BAHDIFF, the service member is entitled to BAH at the “with dependents
rate” with a BAH-DIFF qualifier code.

5-5

MCINCR-MCBQO P5001.1A
22 Mar 16

5110. AWARDS. Marines desiring to have an award reported in MCTFS
may do so by submitting the supporting documentation to the IPAC. All
source documents must be verified by the respective unit before
submitting to the IPAC for inclusion into MCTFS. Supporting
documents may include a copy of the MARADMIN announcing the award,
copy of the member’s chronological record, or a copy of the award
citation itself.
EXAMPLE: A Marine was TAD for 30 days in support of the Recruiting
Assistance Program. Later, a MARADMIN is published, announcing that
the Marine Corps Recruiting Command has been approved for a Navy Unit
Commendation. In this scenario, the Marine would provide the Customer
Service Section with a copy of his/her TAD orders as verification of
such TAD, as well as a copy of the MARADMIN. All personal awards
awarded by a Marine’s command (higher than a Navy Achievement Medal)
will be reported in MCTFS via the awards web-based system (IAPS) or
HQMC (MMMA).
5111. MEAL CARDS. The Customer Service Section will issue and
control the MCINCR-MCBQ’s meal cards. This includes issuing meal
cards to Sergeants and below living in the barracks. Meal Cards will
be prepared and handled as controlled documents with positive
accountability at all times. The Customer Service Section is
designated as the primary issuing point for meal cards for personnel
serviced by MCINCR-MCBQ IPAC. Meal cards will be issued as follows:
1. Upon joining the Quantico area, the Inbound Section will issue the
meal card, regardless of command assigned.
2. If a replacement meal card is needed due to loss, or mutilation of
the meal card, a new meal card will be issued upon receipt of a
lost/stolen Meal Card statement.
3. The meal cards will be recovered/collected by the respective
section within the IPAC as follows:
a.

Upon transfer/separation by the IPAC Outbound Section.

b. Upon TAD assignment (excess of 30 days) by the Deployed
Support/TAD Section and returned back to the Marine upon completion of
TAD.
c. Personnel being reassigned to another Monitored Command Code
(MCC) aboard Quantico will retain their meal card.
4. All commanders aboard Quantico must ensure procedures are in place
to collect meal cards from all personnel departing on leave, PDMRA,
and/or TAD/PTAD. In addition, procedures must be present to return
the meal card to the Marine promptly upon his/her return.

5-6

MCINCR-MCBQO P5001.1A
22 Mar 16

5. During routine personnel inspections, meal cards should be
inspected to ensure serviceability and that only authorized personnel
have meal cards. Any fraudulent use of meal cards will be reported
immediately to the Customer Service Section.
6. The Customer Service Section will use a CMC approved, automated
meal card database to maintain control and accountability for all meal
cards. Designated IPAC E-4s and above, and GS-4 and above will be
assigned in writing to perform meal card issuing functions.
7. No tape or “white out” will be used in making corrections to the
meal cards however; pen and ink changes are authorized. Make changes
by striking through the erroneous information with a single line and
then signing the change.
8. Joint inventories of the automated meal card database will be done
on a monthly basis by the Issuing Officer/Agent and the Director of
IPAC, upon reassignment, or relief by the Director or Issuing Agent
Officer/Agent. Suspected loss or theft of meal cards and
discrepancies identified during the joint inventory will be
investigated.
9. When the automated meal card database is not available for use,
the IPAC will issue a Meal Card letter which can be used in the mess
hall until the database is available for the issue of a meal card. All
letters are logged into the Meal Card logbook and retrieved from the
member when they are issued a proper meal card.

CHAPTER 6
DEPLOYMENT/ PAY SECTION
SECTION 1: GENERAL
6000. GENERAL. The Deployment/ Pay section is responsible for the
following administrative areas: administrative service for pay
related EPARs, allotment requests, pay and entitlements reporting,
maintenance, uploading of documents to the Electronic Service Record
(ESR), and completion of pre and post deployment audits.
1. DEPLOYMENT SECTION. The Deployment Section is responsible for pre
and post-deployment audits, auditing and reporting of deployment pay
entitlements, Pers-Tempo reporting, and taking appropriate
administrative action on personnel reporting or detaching for TAD, and
personnel involved in field exercises. Additional duties include
providing administrative assistance to unit S-1 offices with
deployment briefs and providing reach-back administrative support to
forward deployed personnel/units ADCON to the IPAC.
2. PAY SECTION. The Pay Section is responsible for tracking and
monitoring the pay entitlements for all personnel supported by the
IPAC. Duties include: auditing and resolving pay discrepancies,
submitting special payments to the Finance Office, waiver or remission
of indebtedness assistance, resetting MyPay Personal Identification
Numbers (PINs), and processing bond and allotment requests not able to
be completed utilizing the MyPay System.
3. RECORDS ROOM. The Records Room is a subsection of the Deployment
section and is responsible for the uploading of required documents in
the Marines ESR.
6001. INFORMATION FLOW. In an effort to reduce the requirement for
Marines to physically visit the IPAC or an Adjutant/S-1 Office for
routine personnel actions, Marines are highly encouraged to utilize
the MyPay web site (https://mypay.dfas.mil) or the Marine On-Line web
site (https://tfas.mol.usmc.mil) whenever possible to complete
administrative tasks.

6-2

MCINCR-MCBQO P5001.1A
22 Mar 16

SECTION 2: DEPLOYED SUPPORT AND TAD SECTION
6100. PARENT COMMANDS. Parent commands are responsible for notifying
the Deployment section when assigned personnel enter and depart a
field duty status so that appropriate PersTempo and BAS checkages can
be reported. The BAS checkages are not an option for the unit
commander. The Deployment section will be the primary point of
contact concerning administrative requirements for all personnel
performing all periods of TAD.
1. Report all status changes to personnel that involve arrival or
departure in theatre. Preferred method of notification is the EPAR
module located in MOL.
2. In order for commands to meet the requirements, commands who have
Marines depart and return from periods of TAD using DTS, need to
provide the IPAC a copy of the completed voucher in order to verify
appropriate entitlements. IPAC will access the command’s DTS reports
to ensure these requirements are satisfied. This ensures appropriate
tracking of Unit Diary entries that are not covered by DTS, and also
assists the Marine in avoiding unnecessary over/under payments.
Monthly consolidation by the commands S-1 will assist in meeting this
requirement set forth by MCAAT.
3. Marines who are directed to execute all other periods of TAD, and
are exempt from using the DTS System (excluding Reservist on ADOS/ROWS
Orders) are required to come to the Deployment Support and TAD Section
to submit a completed travel claim for reimbursement.
6101.

INDIVIDUAL AUGMENTS/TAD EXCESS

1. PRIOR TO DEPARTURE. All personnel assigned as an Individual
Augment departing on TAD in excess of 30 days, or going TAD outside
CONUS must report to the IPAC Deployment TAD Section (with a copy of
deployment orders) to complete the required Pre-Deployment Audit
within 30 days prior to departure.
2. UPON ARRIVAL IN THEATER. The unit or individual must ensure to
contact the Deployed Support and TAD Section, which can be reached at
DSN 278-4466/4199/4603, or commercial 703-784-XXXX. Entitlements are
reported with the submission of supporting documentation to the IPAC.
3.

UPON RETURN TO CONUS

a. Personnel must return to the IPAC for a post-deployment or TAD
audit. A copy of the travel claim (or appropriate orders) is required
for entitlements verification.
b. During the audit, verification of entitlements will be
reviewed through DTS or Standard Accounting Budget and Reporting
System (SABRS) orders to identify irregularities and any unauthorized
payments.
6-3

MCINCR-MCBQO P5001.1A

6102.

DEFENSE ATTACHE’ OFFICER (DAO) SUPPORT

1. The IPAC provides administrative support to all DAO Marines and
their dependents. There are instances where additional support is
necessary such as in times of civil unrest in those countries where
Marines are on duty. Upon notification of any type of evacuation
(EVAC) in a country where there are DAO Marines and their dependents,
the unit must contact Marine Corps Intelligence Activity (MCIA) at
(703) 432-7542 and the Deployment section will provide support to the
unit.
2. If the EVAC is permanent, Deployment TAD section will contact the
Marine and/or family for appropriate adjustment of entitlements and
assistance with settlement of travel claims.
3. Questions on the EVAC report can be addressed to the Department of
State POC, Ronda Harvey ([email protected]) at (202) 647-6099.
6103.

WOUNDED IN ACTION

1. Upon receipt of a Patient Casualty Report (PCR), or when it is
known that a service member has been wounded in action, the
appropriate unit diary entries will be reported to record such events
(i.e., TO SK WIA HOSP, TO SK OTHER, etc.)
a. In accordance with Personnel Administration Advisory Notice
(PAAN) 06-05, PAAN 34-06, MARADMIN 056-04, MARADMIN 262/05, and
MARADMIN 227/10, the Deployment section will ensure that the deployed
entitlements are appropriately reported and tracked.
b. PAY AND ALLOWANCES CONTINUATION (PAC) PROGRAM. Per MARADMIN
227/10, pay and allowances shall continue to be paid to a service
member who, in the line of duty, incurs a wound, injury, or illness in
a combat operation or a combat zone, while serving in a hostile fire
area, or while exposed to a hostile fire event (regardless of
location), and is hospitalized for treatment of the wound, injury, or
illness. In order to qualify for PAC, a Marine must meet the
requirements found in paragraphs 4a & 4b of MARADMIN 227/10. Eligible
Marines are authorized PAC beginning on the date first hospitalized
for a period up to 12 continuous months.
6104. RESERVE SUPPORT (ACTIVE DUTY FOR OPERATIONAL SUPPORT). All 30day partial travel claims will be completed using DD Form 1351-2, for
reservists on ADOS orders. The IPAC is designated as the focal point
of all ADOS inquiries and submissions to the Quantico Finance Office
for travel claim settlement.

6-4

MCINCR-MCBQO P5001.1A
22 Mar 16

6105. FIELD EXCERCISES. The Deployment section will report all
checkages of field rations for permanent personnel involved in unit
field exercises. Commanders are responsible for submission of rosters
to the IPAC for appropriate checkages to be reported. All requests
for field rations checkages are required to be signed by a
commissioned officer.
SECTION 3: PAY SECTION
6200.

MYPAY AND MOL

1. These systems allow a Marine the opportunity to make changes
directly to their own pay and personal information accounts in a
secure electronic environment. Some of these changes consist of,
start, stop, increase, decrease allotments, update tax exemptions,
change direct deposit, thrift savings plan, and view and print current
and previous year W-2s. The web site for MyPay can be accessed at
https://mypay.dfas.mil, and MOL can be accessed at
https://tfas.mol.usmc.mil.
2. With the exception of emergency service support (e.g. emergency
stoppage of allotment) IPAC will not approve service requests for
administrative changes available in the MYPAY and MOL systems.
Personal Identification Number (PIN) access/resetting can be
accomplished in the IPAC Pay Section.
6201. BONDS AND ALLOTMENTS (B&A). MyPay offers the individual Marine
the ability to effectively manage a portion of their respective pay
entitlements in the form of allotments. This system enables a Marine
to start, stop, increase, or decrease a new or existing allotment.
B&A's that are unable to be started utilizing the MyPay system should
be submitted to the Pay Section for processing.
1. Due to the often sensitive and urgent nature of allotments where
credit worthiness or support of family member is involved, Marines
must consider submission dates of allotments and plan accordingly.
Generally, allotments submitted and processed prior to the 15th of the
month will have an earlier deduction date than those requests
submitted after the 15th of the month. For example:
a. Marine submits a request on 3 August 2016, half the total
amount of the allotment will be deducted on the 15th and 30th of
August 2016, with the total monthly amount being paid to the
institution on the 1st of September 2016.
b. Marine submits a request on 25 August 2016, half the total
amount of the allotment will be deducted on the 15th and 30th of
September 2016, with the total monthly amount being paid to the
institution on the 1st of October 2016.

6-5

MCINCR-MCBQO P5001.1A
22 Mar 16

2. Requests for emergency stop or start of allotments will be handled
on a case-by-case basis and in direct coordination with the Pay
Section OIC/SNCOIC.
6202.

PROFICIENCY PAY/HAZARDOUS DUTY INCENTIVE PAY (HDIP)

1. ASSIGNMENTS. Career Planners, drill instructors (including
summer/winter augments), recruiters, career recruiters, and personnel
in receipt of HDIP will be assigned in writing (competent orders) to
rate incentive pay. Unit S-1’s, in coordination with the IPAC Pay
Section, will ensure that annual recertification is accomplished.
2. HDIP NOTIFICATIONS. HDIP (i.e. Flight, Jump, and Dive Pay) will
be tracked and monitored monthly to ensure required training is
completed for accurate payment and for confirmation of annual
validation by the command.
a. Unit S-1’s will make timely notification to the IPAC Pay
Section, in writing, of all cases where members did not meet the
payment requirements for any given month in order to report a
checkage.
b. Demolition Duty Pay will be administered in strict compliance
with the DoDFMR Vol 7A Chapter 24, MCO P1000.6 (ACTSMAN), and MARADMIN
361/09. Unit commanders must submit monthly letters validating that
all personnel in the unit have met the monthly requirements and are
entitled to Demolition Duty Pay. If a Marine has not met the
requirements for a particular month, it will be notated on the monthly
letter and the Marine will not receive HDIP for that particular month.
3. ALLOCATIONS. Unit S-1 or S-3, in coordination with the Pay
Section, will ensure that the number of Marines receiving
Proficiency/Hazardous Duty Pay does not exceed the number authorized
for the billets in that command.
4. AUDITING. A monthly review will be conducted by the Pay Section
to monitor all payments of proficiency, hazardous duty, and special
pays (i.e. 1stSgts/SgtsMaj/MGySgts in Senior Enlisted Billets) to
ensure proper entitlement/eligibility.
5. RECORDS MAINTENANCE. HDIP performance records (i.e. jump, dive,
demolition logs, etc.) will be maintained and tracked by the
appropriate unit's S-1 or S-3 office. It is recommended that
reconciliation and verification be conducted quarterly with the IPAC
Pay Section to ensure all entitlements are current and correct.
6203. CAREER STATUS BONUS (CSB) REDUX ELECTION. Active duty service
members who entered service after July 1986 have a choice upon
completing 14 ½ years of active service. They can elect to retire
under the “High Three” system or under the CSB/Redux system.
6-6

MCINCR-MCBQO P5001.1A
22 Mar 16

Once an election is made, it becomes irrevocable once they obtain 15
years of active service. Commanders are required to ensure that all
Marines under their charge, Officers and Enlisted, receive appropriate
counseling on the impacts of their retirement system choice.
1. Marines who choose to elect to receive the CSB/Redux must, after
completing the DD Form 2839 at the IPAC, take the CSB election form to
their unit S-1 for either the Battalion Commanding Officer, Battalion
Executive officer, or the Battalion Sergeant Major to witness the
election in block #13.
2. The IPAC Pay Section will identify eligible personnel monthly
utilizing the Administrative Discrepancy Notice (ADN), and with the
assistance of the unit Administrative Adjutant/Chief and Sergeant
Major, have service members properly record their election.
6204. REIMBURSEMENT OF ADOPTION EXPENSES. Federal law authorizes
reimbursement for certain adoption expenses. If a member adopted a
child who is under 18 years of age, they may be eligible for a maximum
expense reimbursement of $2,000 per child, not to exceed $5,000 per
calendar year. In order to be reimbursed for adoption expenses there
are certain requirements and procedures that must be met. Please
contact the IPAC Pay Section for procedures in filing a claim. Refer
to Title 10 U.S.C. § 1052, DoDFMR Volume 7C, Chapter 4, and DoDI
1341.9 for specific details.
6205. SPECIAL LEAVE ACCRUAL (SLA). Per MARADMIN 151/15 effective 1
October 2015, all Marines with an annual leave balance in excess of 60
days will lose those days unless subject to special leave accrual.
MARADMIN 666/09 elaborates all requirements of a unit for the tracking
and restoration of SLA.
1. Deployed or combat lost leave is authorized to be restored by any
Battalion/Squadron Commander via MOL utilizing the SLA module. These
will only be reported by IPAC in extenuating circumstances.
2. Lost leave classified as “Other” will require approval by the
first General officer with general court-martial convening authority.
Approved endorsement must be submitted to the IPAC no later than 31
December of that year.
6206. REMISSION/WAIVERS OF INDEBTEDNESS. Application and processing
procedures on all requests for waiver or remission of a debt will be
in strict accordance with the guidelines and standards of the APSM
chapter 10.
1. Requests require submission of DD Form 2789 (Waiver or Remission
of Indebtedness Application), Copies of all Leave and Earning
Statements and/or vouchers when the debt was incurred, any other
associated material

7101. PROMOTION RECOMMENDATION. In order for an eligible Marine to
be promoted (up to the rank of Sgt), the Marine must be recommended
for promotion by his or her Commanding Officer who retains the
promotion authority.
1. It is the unit commanders’ monthly responsibility to complete
their promotion recommendation roster via MOL before the 15th of the
month prior to promotion. All rosters must be certified by the
Battalion Commander (unless their designated successor is in an
“acting” capacity). All Non-Rec Page 11 entries must be forwarded to
HQMC (MMRP-20) for entry into the Marine’s OMPF.

recommendation for promotion roster in letter format to Command
Support for the entry of the “NOT REC FOR PROM” via unit diary. These
requests for diary entries via UDMIPS must be turned into Command
Support in a timely manner to allow the entry to post prior to the
15th day before the promotion month.
7102. NON-RECOMMENDATION PAGE 11 ENTRIES. For each Marine that is
not recommended, a signed page 11 entry, acknowledging that they were
informed of the Commanding Officer’s decision to not recommend them
for promotion must be completed in accordance with MCO P1070.12_
(IRAM) and the Promotions Manual). These page 11 entries will be
submitted to the OMPF by the command.
1. If the “not recommended” is generated as the result of the monthly
MOL roster, required counseling entries must be completed for each
month that the Marine is not recommended for promotion. Not
recommended is a monthly entry, and a MOL entry must be reported by
the 15th of the month, along with the proper Page 11 entry for each
month the Marine is not recommended for promotion
2. If “not recommended” is due to a promotion restriction, an initial
page 11, must be completed covering the specific period. Although the
page 11 counseling is done only once, the Marine must still be listed
as “not recommended” for each month during the restriction period.
Reasons for non-recommendation for promotion may be viewed in

MCINCR-MCBQO P5001.1A
22 Mar 16

2. Electronic Personnel Action Requests (E-PARs) are encouraged to be
used by all students for routine matters and must be properly routed
through the respective chain of command. All E-PARs not requiring
external intervention will be worked within 5 working days after being
received.
3. Leave and Earnings Statements (LES), Basic Training Records (BTR),
Basic Individual Records (BIR), W-2 and W-2C, and Fitness Report
printouts will be processed by the individual Marine utilizing MOL,
MyPay and/or TBS Adjutant/S-1. Additionally, requests for certified
true copies of printouts and pages from an individual’s Electronic
Service Record (ESR) will be accomplished by TBS S-1.
4. All disputes/disagreements or service problems will be addressed
to the OIC, TBS Stud Pers Det. The OIC, TBS Stud Pers Det or IPAC
leadership will ensure that every complaint is thoroughly researched
and a satisfactory explanation is provided to the Marine and/or
command.
9004. BOC Preparation and Join Process. Within 45 days prior to a
BOC reporting, Marine Corps Recruiting Command (MCRC) will begin
providing updated rosters of personnel slated to attend that
particular class. TBS Stud Pers Det will utilize these inbound
rosters to process join packages consisting of 1st and 2nd Stage Audit
checklists and documents, service record documents, direct deposit
forms and travel claims. The OIC, TBS Stud Pers Det will schedule the
in-processing class, coordinate times for presentations from any
external entities, publish the schedule and ensure the class is
completed.
1. Reporting. All students arriving for BOC or WOBC are required to
report on the date listed on their orders. Students are not
authorized to report earlier than that date without approval from TBS
Commander. TBS Stud Pers Det will provide a check-in station from
0800-1700 on the BOC and WOBC report date in order to issue the 1st
Stage Audit packages and complete travel claims. The station will be
manned with additional personnel from the main IPAC in order to
facilitate the travel claim completion process.
2. In-Processing Class. Due to the accession level administration
requirements for most of the TBS student population, they are required
to bring the following items with them to the in-processing class: a
copy of all orders and endorsements sending them to TBS from their
Home of Record, Marine Corps District, reserve unit, or previous duty
station, if applicable; their ESR, if applicable; a copy of their
NAVMC 763; their bank account information for Direct Deposit
enrollment; a copy of any DD Forms 214 or 215 from prior periods of
active duty; a copy of their college transcripts or proof of degree;
if married or claiming dependents, a copy of their marriage
certificate (certified translated if applicable), spouses’ birth
9-3

MCINCR-MCBQO P5001.1A
22 Mar 16

certificate (certified translated if applicable) and child birth
certificates; receipts for any reimbursable expenses incurred during
their official travel to TBS; and full names, addresses and phone
numbers for all individuals they intend to list as family contacts
and/or entitlement beneficiaries. The in-processing class will
consist of a personnel records update, travel claim finalization as
needed, and the Montgomery GI Bill brief and election. This class
normally requires approximately 4-5 hours.
3. Join and Travel Claim Processing. Upon completion of the InProcessing Class, TBS Stud Pers Det will immediately commence the
processing of joining students on UD, reporting their initial direct
deposit information, and completing the travel claim review and
submission. All efforts will be made to complete in excess of 250
joins and process all travel claims within 5 working days of the
student’s report date. This mass process requires a coordinated
effort from additional personnel from the main IPAC to assist with
Quality Control and electronic processing of the travel claims.
4. Identification Cards. TBS Scheduling Officer will notify the
DEERS/ID Card Center OIC at least 45 days in advance of a student
company’s date for issuance of ID cards. This date is normally
scheduled within the first 2 weeks of a BOC arrival.
If additional
days are required, the company leadership will coordinate those based
off availability during the POI.
9005. Initial Scanning. Immediately after the entire join process is
completed (approximately 3 weeks post report date), all company
records requiring initial scanning into the ESR will be accounted for
and prepared for the scanning process. Once preparation is complete,
the scanning process will begin. After the initial scan is completed,
all paper records will be returned to the individual student via the
chain of command for their personal retention. Any further updates to
the student’s ESR during the training evolution will be completed via
the daily unit diary breakdown and scan process.
9006. MOS Assignments. MOS assignments for each BOC occur no later
than Training Week 22. MOS selections are completed for each BOC
student by the Company Commander and are final once the TBS Commander
approves them. Upon approval, the Company Executive Officer will
ensure both TBS Adjutant and TBS Stud Pers Det receive approved MOS’s.
TBS Adjutant will submit the MOS’s to HQMC (MMOA) for orders and TBS
Stud Pers Det will report all MOS on UD, to include competitive
aviation selections. Most guaranteed contract MOS’s (7599, 7578,
4401) are already resident in MCTFS as part of MCRC accession data
input prior to those students reporting to TBS, but any that may be
missing will be reported by TBS Stud Pers Det upon notification by the
Company Commander.

9-4

MCINCR-MCBQO P5001.1A
22 Mar 16

9007. Web Orders Processing. Once the MOS roster is received by
MMOA, the ground and air monitors will begin issuing orders and
funding via the Web Orders system. Students will receive orders to
their MOS schools or to their next duty stations. All orders and
funding for Reserve students will be processed by TBS IPAC Det but
will be coordinated via HQMC (RAM); this process is not part of the
MMOA Web Orders processing.
1. Upon receipt of Web Orders for students, TBS Stud Pers Det will
prepare endorsements for Distribution Management Office (DMO) purposes
only. The Web Orders and DMO endorsements will be provided to the
students prior to them finalizing their moving arrangements with DMO.
Additionally, TBS Stud Pers Det will provide a Travel Entitlement
class to each BOC at which time students will complete a transfer data
sheet and decide whether or not they choose to receive travel advances
prior to executing orders. The majority of students at TBS are
considered accession-level and are not currently required to
possess a Government Travel Charge Card for PCS and TEMINS orders.
Once the Travel Entitlement Class is completed, TBS Stud Pers Det will
begin to process detaching endorsements for all students and travel
advances for those students that elect to receive. During OutProcessing 7-10 days before graduation, orders will be provided to the
students for execution and delivery to their next command.
2. TBS leadership will provide each BOC instructions on how to
utilize www.move.mil for scheduling either carrier or Personally
Procured Moves (PPM) with DMO to their next duty station. All efforts
should be made to ensure all students have their DMO arrangements in
place 30 days prior to graduation or departure from TBS.
9008. Out-Processing. The out-processing date normally takes place
during Training Week 25. All completed transfer orders will be issued
at this point. Students will review their original orders and
official file copy, verify the accuracy of the orders and sign each
receiving endorsement. All official file copies will be returned to
TBS Stud Pers Det for reporting on UD on the transfer date. Any
orders requiring corrections will be returned to TBS Stud Pers Det
during this class, at which time corrections will be made and orders
returned to the Company prior to graduation.
9009. Student Separations. The following types of separations for
student officers at TBS occur on a regular basis: administrative
separations; medical separations; medical retirements; and expiration
of active service (EAS) obligation (for enlisted and officer
reservists only). Separations for commission of a serious offense are
less common occurrences for student officers.
1. Administrative Separations. Student officers can be
administratively separated for academic failure, leadership failure,
minor misconduct, and commission of a serious offense. The entire
9-5

MCINCR-MCBQO P5001.1A
22 Mar 16

legal process is administered by TBS Command Judge Advocate until such
time the Secretary of the Navy (SecNav) finalizes a decision regarding
discharge type, Separation Program Designator (SPD), and
characterization of service based on the students’ overall record. If
a student officer is notified of a pending administrative separation
but it has not yet been finalized and an EAS has not been posted to
MCTFS, the student may execute administrative separation leave
provided it is approved by the first General Officer (GO) in their
chain of command. The student must finalize all separation documents
with TBS Stud Pers Det prior to executing this leave. The student
will continue to receive pay and accrue leave while on separation
leave until all leave accrued is exhausted, at which time the student
will enter a non-pay status. The student will subsequently be
separated on the date directed by HQMC.
2. Medical Separations. Student officers that are on limited duty
for medical reasons for an extended period of time and are no longer
fit for duty are eligible for medical separation. A Physical
Evaluation Board (PEB) will determine this process after treatment and
thorough medical examinations have been conducted. If found unfit for
duty, the student will be medically discharged, generally with a
disability rating allowing further treatment from the Department of
Veterans Affairs once separated.
3. Medical Retirements. This process is similar to medical
separations. The PEB will determine fitness for duty and provide its
findings to the student. Upon acceptance of the findings, a decision
is made to either temporarily or permanently retire a student based on
evidence and a final disability rating. In most cases student
officers will be separated to the Temporary Disability Retirement List
(TDRL). The more serious cases will be separated to the Permanent
Disability Retirement List (PDRL). Students that have received and
accepted their PEB findings are eligible to go home awaiting orders
and final disposition of the PEB. Home awaiting orders is executed
similarly to administrative separation leave as the EAS is not posted
and the student will enter a non-pay status upon exhausting all leave
accrual. Home awaiting orders does not require GO approval but all
administrative requirements must be completed with TBS Stud Pers Det
prior to the student executing orders.
4. Commission of a Serious Offense. If a student officer has
committed a serious offense punishable by trial by court martial, they
are subject to a misconduct separation. After a court-martial
proceeding is complete and punishment is served, the student officer
may execute voluntary appellate leave if they choose to. Upon receipt
of the Convening Authority’s (CA) action, the student officer must
proceed on involuntary appellate leave. Upon entering either status
of voluntary or involuntary appellate leave, TBS Stud Pers Det will
finalize all reportable transactions and record updates and transfer
the officer by record to the Navy and Marine Corps Appellate Leave
9-6

MCINCR-MCBQO P5001.1A
22 Mar 16

Activity (NAMALA). NAMALA will track and maintain the individual’s
record until the officer’s separation is final.
5. Expiration of Active Service (EAS). Reservists attending their
initial BOC or WOBC training, Infantry Officer’s Course (IOC) or MAIT
and immediately returning to their reserve unit/status upon completion
at TBS will be separated under this category. This is only common for
reservists attending IOC or MAIT since most BOC and WOBC reservists
are retained on active duty to attend follow-on training. All
reservist separations are coordinated with HQMC (RAM) prior to TBS
Stud Pers Det initiating separation action.
6. Separations Process. Upon receipt of the SecNav decision, PEB
findings and posting of an EAS by HQMC, the student officer may either
execute leave awaiting separation or remain at TBS until the posted
EAS. Reservists separating from TBS will remain at TBS until their
EAS. Prior to executing leave, the student must provide TBS Stud Pers
Det with the following items in order to process their separation
documents: DD form 2648/-1, DD form 2958 (Provided after attendance of
the Transition Readiness Seminar (TRS)), final physical, original
medical and dental records, their ID/CAC card and a check-out sheet,
if applicable. Once received, TBS Stud Pers Det will process as
applicable any separation orders, DD Forms 214 and 215, Retirement Pay
Data Forms and NAVMC 11060 for final settlement. Separation packages
will remain in a tickler file until the separation is reported on UD
either on the date of separation or the first working day after the
separation date. Once the separation is posted to MCTFS, the NAVMC
11060 may be submitted to the local Finance Office for processing of
the final settlement.

10101.

TYPES OF ORDERS

1. PCS. PCSOs are issued by HQMC and direct a Marine to relocate
between PDSs. PCSOs are fully funded and entitle the Marine and
dependents, if applicable, to travel and transportation allowances as
described in the Joint Travel Regulations (JTR). All PCSOs are
issued, modified, and cancelled by HQMC via the Orders Section, in
conjunction with the support of unit S-1. The IPAC will notify the
parent unit/command upon receipt of PCSOs and/or modification of PCSOs
on a Marine. Marines in receipt of PCSOs are to be screened by the
command to determine if they are eligible for transfer. Marines
qualified and eligible for transfer are to apply for a GTCC and
complete their OBI via Marine Online (MOL).
2. PCA. PCAOs direct a Marine’s change of assignment between major
commands located in the same geographic vicinity of the PDS. The
PCAOs are processed and issued by the IPAC in the same manner as
PCSOs; however, no entitlement to leave, travel and transportation
allowances exist for the Marine or dependents. The PCAOs direct a
Marine to move between MCCs.
3. SPECIAL ORDERS. Per MCO 1000.6, ch4, the use of special orders to
issue PCA, PCS or TAD orders is no longer authorized.
10102. ORDERS NOTIFICATION. The Orders Report will be provided to the
supported organizations on a weekly basis by the IPAC Orders Section.
1. Upon receipt of orders notification, “My Message” in MOL, the
Marine must log in and complete their OBI.
2. Once the OBI has been completed and forwarded through the chain of
command, the supported unit S-1 will review and if correct, forward to
IPAC.
3. Checklists for I&I, overseas or special duty assignments will be
attached with the OBI as necessary. Delays in completing checklists
will have adverse effects on the Marines execution of orders.
10103. OUTBOUND INTERVIEW (OBI). The OBI is an essential tool, and
must be completed by the Marine immediately upon receiving the “My
Message” notification of PCS/PCAOs in MOL. The OBI will detail the
Marine’s desire for leave, detach/report day, transportation, GTCC
status and advance of pay entitlements.
Marines must complete and submit their OBI a minimum of 90 days prior
to their detachment date when applicable.
1. Once IPAC receives the completed and approved OBI from the
supported unit, IPAC will review it for accuracy and compliance with
regulations.

10-3

MCINCR-MCBQO P5001.1A
22 Mar 16

2. Upon completion of the IPAC review, WebOs and the dependent
endorsement will be electronically uploaded to the OBI for the Marine
to access at any time from their OBI console.
3. With the WebOs and the dependent endorsement, Marines will be able
to schedule their DMO move and request passports, if applicable.
4. Any Marine who does not complete their OBI will not receive their
PCS/AOs, advance pay, or any leave in conjunction with their PCS/AOs.
10104. OBLIGATED SERVICE REQUIREMENT. Those Marines who do not meet
obligated service requirements or do not desire to extend or reenlist,
must see their Career Planner to sign a statement of “non-intent” of
extending/reenlisting within 10 business days, upon
receipt/notification of PCSOs.

cancel orders will be prepared and submitted by unit commanders with a
copy forwarded to the Orders Section.
10106.

PCS ORDERS PROCESSING

1. CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES (CONUS) ASSIGNMENTS. Upon receipt of
the notification of PCSOs, the Marine will complete their OBI. Orders
will be issued based upon the information provided in the OBI.
2. SPECIAL DUTY ASSIGNMENTS (SDA). Upon receipt of the notification
of PCSOs to a SDA, the Marine must report to their respective Career
Planner for the appropriate screening checklist and assistance in the
completion and certification by the command. Orders will be issued
based upon the information provided in the OBI once all checklists
have been uploaded.
3. TEMPORARY LODGING EXPENSE (TLE). Marines may be entitled to TLE
at their detaching or gaining command. If a Marine does rate and
desire to use their TLE, the authorized method of payment will be the
GTCC. The only authorized location for TLE at MCINCR-MCBQ is the BOQ
(Liversedge Hall). If there are no quarters available, the Marine
must obtain a statement of non-availability to reside in quarters
elsewhere.
4.

CHECK-OUT/ISSUANCE OF ORDERS

a. The check-out sheet will be issued by the service members’
command (S-1). The check-out procedures for transferring personnel
remain the responsibility of the Marine’s unit, and command
supervision is essential. Supported organizations must ensure that
the Marine has completed all check-out requirements prior to reporting
to the IPAC for issuance of orders. A copy of the check-out sheet

f. Marines requesting to alter their detach or report date after
their OBI has been approved by the command, must provide the Orders
Section with an endorsement from their commander approving the date
change.
5. ADVANCES PRIOR TO PCS. Requests for advances of pay will be
selected in the OBI. Requests for advances of travel and DLA are no
longer authorized. Payments of advance pay are normally deposited by
EFT to the individual’s account 30 days prior to detachment date.
Advance pay requests outside normal parameters (2 months) require
approval by the Marine’s Commanding Officer.
NOTE: (1) The Marine's written justification must include a minimum
of: (a) a list of actual and anticipated expenses, (b) an explanation
of the circumstances which cause the greater than normal expenses to
be incurred, thus requiring advance pay of more than one month, (c) a
listing of offsetting entitlements (e.g. family member travel, advance
BAH, DLA) and (d) Marines who request a repayment schedule in excess
of 12 months must provide specific justification on the situation that
might indicate a financial hardship in repaying the advance in the
normal 12-month time period.
10107.

HUMANITARIAN ORDERS

1. The Orders Section is responsible for personnel being detached for
Humanitarian (HUMS) reasons.

PROCEDURES

a. Marines and supported units must coordinate with the IPAC as
soon as separation actions are contemplated, and remain in contact, in
order to ensure correct administrative action is completed in a timely
manner.
b. Upon completion of the Outbound Interview (OBI) a case folder
is created containing administrative forms providing information
necessary for completion of the DD Form 214, NAVMC 11060, and other
separation documentation based on their respective circumstances.
c. Each Marine will receive a Pre-Separation checklist. The
checklist will identify milestones starting 180 days out (360) days
for retirements/transfer to FMCR) from the anticipated separation date
that must be considered and completed prior to the separation date.
Marines must return to the IPAC Separation Section no later than 14
days prior to their planned date of detachment to review documents and
sign if necessary.
11-2

MCINCR-MCBQO P5001.1A
22 Mar 16

d. Marines will be encouraged to keep their direct deposit
account open ninety (90) days after they are separated to allow EFT of
the final settlement of the Marine’s pay account. Furthermore,
Marines retiring/transferring to FMCR must continually keep an EFT
account open in order to receive retirement payments.
11101. OUTBOUND INTERVIEW MODULE. The OBI, which is an application
within Marine Online (MOL), is an essential tool, which must be
completed for the separation process. Marines may begin their OBI 180
days from EAS date. Retirees may begin their OBI 14 months from their
approved retirement date. The OBI will detail the Marine’s desire for
transitional PTAD, terminal leave, planned detach date, transportation
and advance of pay entitlement’s. Marines must complete and submit
their OBI a minimum of 90 days prior to their planned detachment date
when applicable.
1. Once the Separation Section receives the completed and approved
OBI from the supported unit, it will be reviewed for accuracy and
compliance with regulations.
2. Upon completion of the review, the Separation Section will either
reject the OBI back to the supported unit for corrections or proceed
with the interview.
3. After the Separation Section has completed the OBI a DMO
endorsement will be certified. The Marine will be able to access this
document on his/her OBI console at any time. That DMO endorsement
will be used to set up the Marine’s final move.
