The sender should also check their DoD SAFE outbox for file delivery and pickup information. Provide the passphrase to open your DOD Safe file in a separate email NOT DOD Safe. Failure to provide the missing documents in the allotted timeframe will result in disenrollment from the selected program and reapplication to a future board will be required.
3. MECEP selectees are not authorized to take additional classes after release of this MARADMIN. MECEP selectees who obtain a bachelor's degree prior to attending a NROTC or affiliated school will be disenrolled and must apply to a future ECP board.
