TECOM Worldwide (WWT) Account Guidance

1. PURPOSE. THIS MESSAGE PROVIDES AMPLIFYING
GUIDANCE TO FORMAL TRAINING COMMANDS (SCHOOLHOUSES) REGARDING
MARINES/STUDENTS WHO DO NOT REPORT, ARE HELD BEYOND SCHEDULE COURSE
DATES, AND/OR WHO DO NOT HAVE APPROPRIATION DATA TO ATTEND FOLLOW-ON
COURSE DATES. 
2. BACKGROUND. RECENTLY, THERE HAVE BEEN INSTANCES WHERE MARINES ARE
HELD AT SCHOOLHOUSE LOCATIONS OUTSIDE SCHEDULED COURSE DATES OR ARE
RESCHEDULED FOR COURSES WHILE STILL IN A TEMPORARY ADDITIONAL DUTY
(TAD)/TEMPORARY ADDITIONAL DUTY UNDER INSTRUCTION (TEMINS) STATUS.
THESE ACTIONS HAVE UNNECESSARILY COST THE MARINE CORPS THOUSANDS OF
TRAINING DOLLARS AND MAY CAUSE UNDUE HARDSHIP FOR STUDENTS. PER REF
A, STUDENTS HELD BEYOND SCHEDULED COURSE DATES (E.G., LEGAL OR MED
HOLD, AWAITING NEXT CLASS, ETC.) MUST BE ADMINISTRATIVELY JOINED TO
THE SCHOOL. IN NO CASE WILL THE WWT FUND PAY FOR COSTS OUTSIDE THE
STUDENT'S SCHEDULED COURSE DATES. PER REF B, ALL STUDENTS MUST BE
ENROLLED IN BY NAME ASSIGNMENT (BNA). 
3. ACTION. 
A. UNIT COMMANDERS MUST ENSURE STUDENTS REPORT TO CLASSES AS
ENROLLED OR ENSURE STUDENTS ARE DROPPED FROM BNA IF THEY WILL NOT BE
ABLE TO ATTEND THE CLASS. IN CASES WHERE STUDENTS ARRIVE EARLIER
THAN REPORTING COURSE DATES, ARE HELD BEYOND SCHEDULED COURSE DATES,
AND/OR THERE IS A DELAY IN THE TRAINING SCHEDULE, SCHOOLHOUSES MUST
IMMEDIATELY CONTACT HQMC REQUESTOR (MM) AND TECOM ACCOUNTING (FM)
FOR FURTHER GUIDANCE. ADDITIONALLY, SCHOOLHOUSE COMMANDERS MUST
OFFICIALLY NOTIFY THE STUDENT'S PARENT/GAINING COMMAND OF THE DELAY.
B. SCHOOLHOUSES WILL NOT ENROLL STUDENTS IN ANY COURSE WHEN
APPROPRIATION DATA HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED, UNLESS THEY ARE TRAVELING ON
NO COST ORDERS. SCHOOLHOUSES WILL CONTACT THE APPROPRIATE REQUESTOR
OF THE STUDENT TYPE (E.G., 1E-LATERAL MOVE, 0E-OCCFLD SPONSOR/MOS
MONITOR) FOR FURTHER GUIDANCE ON ASSIGNING A SCHOOL SEAT TO ANOTHER
MARINE. 
4. REQUEST INTENSIVE AND EXTENSIVE OVERSIGHT BY EACH LEVEL OF
LEADERSHIP WITHIN THE CHAIN OF COMMAND TO ENSURE THE CONTINUED
SOLVENCY OF THE WWT ACCOUNT.
5. POINT OF CONTACT IS LTCOL L.R. THOMSON, TECOM DEPUTY FM.
