Projected appointment dates may change due to unanticipated changes in the structure or inventory of each MOS. Appointments will be made as vacancies occur in each MOS and in accordance with reference (a). Selectees in the same MOS will be appointed by seniority as determined by lineal control number. Projected appointment dates will not be reflected on CMC's (MMPB-1) monthly MARADMINs announcing promotions. Selectees should contact their respective occupational field (OccFld) sponsor for updated projections. Monthly updates will be provided to all OccFld sponsors by the Restricted Officer Planner at MPP-30, contact information above. 3. Appointments to LDO captain take effect when a selected officer signs and submits a NAVMC 763 and MMOA-3 runs the document on diary. MMOA-3 will e-mail the NAVMC 763 to each selected officer the month prior to their promotion. The administrative procedures required to affect the appointment will be explained in the email. Once the officer executes their oath and signs the NAVCM 763, they must immediately submit the NAVMC 763 to MMOA-3 via email at SMB_MANPOWER_OFFICER_PROGRAMS@USMC.MIL. The required material must be received by MMOA-3 within three days of the effective date of the officer's appointment (the first of the month) for the officer's pay and allowances to begin on the date the officer was appointed. If the required material is received later, the officer may lose pay and allowances. If this occurs, the officer must contact their local administration section, not MMOA-3, to recoup the lost pay and allowances. 4. Execution of the NAVMC 763 obligates the officer to a minimum of three years of service as an LDO. Acceptance also requires the officer to have 10 years of commissioned service (from the date of promotion to CWO2) to become retirement eligible as an LDO. 5. Selected officers should contact MMPB for promotion warrants using the contact information above. 6. Release authorized by BGen Fridrik Fridriksson, Director, Manpower Management Division.
