5.  Post-Full Length School Professional Development Tour (Post-FLS PDT) Opportunity. The Director of Reserve Affairs (in coordination with Dir, MM) intends to globally source Active Component manpower shortfalls with Reserve Component officers who recently completed resident PME opportunities. Eligible billets will be staff/planning roles at the HQMC, MARFOR, and MEF levels only that provide officers valuable professional development and career-enhancing experiences to complement their recent PME. For officers who are eligible and accept a post-FLS PDT, Active Duty for Operational Support (ADOS) orders will run concurrent with the 24 month payback obligation associated with a funded FLS, meaning the obligation to affiliate with a drilling Selected Marine Corps Reserve (SMCR)/ Individual Mobilization Augmentee (IMA) billet will be 12 months (vice 24 months) at the conclusion of the ADOS orders.  PDT orders are dependent on the availability of funds and not guaranteed to be offered to FLS students.<br>

6.a.1.  Orders for Marines in the SMCR will be generated by the Marine's parent command using the Marine Resource Order Writing Service. To provide ample time for routing and travel coordination, orders should be initiated at least 90 days prior to the course convening date.<br>
6.a.2.  The POC for IMA and IRR officers is the MARFORRES customer service center at (toll-free) 800-255-5082 or e-mail the organizational mailbox at csc@cdc.usmc.mil.<br>
6.a.3.  Funding for all PME will be provided by MARFORRES AC/S G-3 Training. For activated officers attending non-resident courses or officers on ADOS orders, please contact the POC of this MARADMIN for further guidance.<br>
6.b.  Active Reserve (AR) officers<br>
6.b.1.  Web Orders for AR officers attending FLS PME will be provided by their respective monitor at CMC (RA).<br>
6.b.2.  Temporary Additional Duty orders for AR officers attending non-resident PME will be funded by MARFORRES AC/S G-3 Training.<br>
7.  Selected officers have been screened for eligibility. Failure to maintain eligibility or meet orders issuance requirements 90 days prior to the course convening date could result in removal from the course.<br>
8.  Individual Responsibilities<br>
8.a.  Ensure contact information remains current in MOL.<br>
8.a.1.  Per reference (b), officers selected for resident PME shall have orders in hand prior to executing any portion of travel or movement. Commencement of travel shall not occur prior to the dates prescribed on the orders. Travel entitlements will be in accordance with reference (b).<br>

Officers requesting a deferral must do so via AA Form endorsed by the first general officer in their chain of command and forwarded to HQMC (RAM-3) NLT 90 days prior to the course convening date.
