Re-Enlisting in the Marine Corps is Going to Get Harder
Monday July 21, 2008
After a stellar year of recruiting and retaining Marines, the Corps is bringing back “boatspace caps” for enlisted military occupational specialties (MOSs). Boatspaces are the number of re-enlistment opportunities available within a given MOS, and limits are set for each MOS based on the needs of the service. The caps were suspended for fiscal 2008, as the Corps worked increase in size. Now the caps are back for fiscal 2009, and space is limited. Once the spots are gone, they’re gone, according to the article, and waivers will be rare exceptions save for certain high-demand jobs.
Marine administrative message 367/08.
