The Marine Corps will limit re-enlistment boatspaces for first-termers in fiscal year 2009 after removing the caps in 2008 in an effort to expand the Corps' wartime strength. As a result, the boatspace caps will make re-enlistment more competitive in any field with little room to grow after recent recruiting and retention success. However, the Quality Re-enlistment Program allows for additional boatspaces to be opened for exceptional Marines, but the program applies only to corporals and sergeants who have been recommended by their commanding officer. For more information about boatspace caps and re-enlistment, contact your unit's career retention specialist.
