Oh, I didn't catch that you were going into the reserves. MECEP does not apply to the reserves, unless you are on AR. For drilling reservists, you need to look into Meritorious Commisioning Program - Reserves (MCP-R) or Reserve Enlisted Commissioning Program (RECP). I don't know a lot about those programs, so use Google.

I am not familiar with the programs USMC-Fox mentioned, but I do know that all the prior reservists I know went through an OSO. Best bet is to use google like the Sgt. said as well as talk to an OSO. It's early on, but if it's a serious option, getting as much knowledge as you can will help you in the long run.

Great post. Very informative read. I actually put in for MECEP and got denied because of some ink on my arm. It's a shame but I plan on trying again someday.
Again, thanks for the post.

From my very limited prospective, it seems the Corps is cracking down on tattoos. In my office, prospective candidates are turned down all the time due to tattoos. Even/especially priors in many instances. I would think that when the backlog of people waiting on TBS is shored up, OCS will not be as over slotted and the tattoo issue might go away. That would be my guess anyway.

Negative. All lieutenants (and captains?) are considered reserve officers, even the ones on active duty. I don't know much about it; perhaps someone else here can explain it better. With either program would not be a limited duty officer.
Further reading.

Obviously, it's probably a bit over our paygrade, but my guess is that it goes beyond there being too many lieutenants. From what I gather, it has to do with Marines being 'professional warriors' and having that 'professional image.' The tat policy has been in place well before when we went through OCS a year ago when the Corps was trying to expand its officer ranks. I would assume that it will remain in place until the next CMC overturns it. Can't say I agree, but I can't disagree, but I will say that I know some pretty stellar Marines that I hugely respect that can't be officers because of the tattoo policy...

Does anyone have any input on what a tbs instructor coming from grunt life 0331 might do if he goes to be that? Also if it's a good duty and what the schedule is like?
