The FY21 FTAP reenlistment period began on 7 July 2020 and continues through 30 September 2021.  During this period, as a Primary Military Occupational Specialty (PMOS) reaches 100 percent executed, Marines in that PMOS are eligible to submit a Commanding General-endorsed QMI reenlistment request to MMEA.

4. QMI spaces are allocated as follows: 
4.a. Each Commanding General is authorized to submit up to two QMI requests per PMOS. Any additional requests will be returned with no action taken.
4.b. QMI spaces are historically limited to a maximum of 10 per PMOS. Career Planners must monitor the boatspace report for most
current status of QMI submissions.
4.c. CMC MMEA has the authority to close a PMOS for QMI submissions at any time based on the number of submissions. Suspension of QMI submissions will be published via the Total Force Retention System.
