Clarification to the FY08 Reserve Command Screening Board
This MARADMIN provides clarifications to the FY08 Reserve Command Screening Board eligibility requirements announced in MARADMIN 296/06. Key changes include clarifying that colonels applying for post-command billets only need command experience as a colonel (not both lieutenant colonel and colonel), and that officers currently serving as retired recalled are ineligible to apply. Officers who have already applied may change their billet choices by contacting the board before the July 30, 2006 deadline.
