In response to COVID-19 and future manpower changes, Manpower and Reserve Affairs is now offering 12 and 24 month service extensions as part of a short term retention plan that allows first-term Marines the opportunity to extend their service in order to fulfill the manpower needs of the Marine Corps. These cross fiscal year extensions provide Marines with flexibility amid the pandemic as well as support for the Corps' future manpower requirements. (U.S. Marine Corps audio by Lance Cpl.
