1. The CMC (MMEA-6) must approve all reenlistments.  Reenlistment authority remains effective until the Marine's expiration of enlistment, or until the date specified in the approval. Extensions executed after receipt of reenlistment authority void the reenlistment authority.

2. Commanding officers are not required to forward to the CMC (MMEA-6) the request of a first-term Marine who is not recommended for reenlistment, provided the Marine has been in the unit at least 12 months.  If a career Marine desires additional service and is not recommended for reenlistment, the request must still be referred to the CMC (MMEA-6).

3. Even if reenlistment authority has been granted by the CMC (MMEA-6), reenlistment shall not be effected when, in the opinion of the commander, the Marine authorized to reenlist has failed to maintain the high standards of professional and personal performance which led to the
authority for reenlistment being granted.  In such cases, the command must immediately inform the CMC (MMEA-6), who will then reconsider the Marine's request.

4. Per section 1176, Title 10, U.S. Code, Marines with 18 years of active service will be retained to achieve retirement eligibility unless separated in accordance with the MARCORSEPMAN.
