After some soul searching and a lot research I've come to the conclusion that MCEP is the program for me. I've studied the order, read the MARADMINS/ALMARS, checked the MCRC website, and met all the basic requirments, so I am now ready to start my package. The board convenes in July, but I will be deploying in June so I am trying to complete my package before I leave. Do I have enough time to complete my package by June ? Considering the number of Mainres currently deployed will competition be as stringent for MCEP'05 ? Any guidence will be greatly appriciated !! Thank you !

That's plenty of time. Just don't screw around and you shouldn't have any problem. Start working on your personal statement now and go ahead and schedule your physical so you aren't waiting around on that forever. I did the same thing the first time I applied-I submitted everything before we left for the Med.

Regarding number deployed and competitiveness....I have no idea. Some may say that the deployed Marines don't care about something like MECEP. Others may say that they become more interested in it so they can get out of the cycle and go to college. So I really don't know.

I applied 3 times, so if you have any questions, PM me...
Good luck!

You have plenty of time, but just remember that the rest of the Corps is not going to proceed at your enthusiastic speed. Get it done fast, get it done right, and GET ENDORSEMENTS!! (The higher the endorsement, the better...)

BTW, I applied twice. You can PM me, too, if you'd like.

I definatly agree with the above. You have plenty of time .. just ensure you keep on the ball with it and get it put together soon. The longest part in my application was waiting for the endorsements and trying to get the review board scheduled. Just keep on it and it should be no problem. Also alow time for your package to get reviewed by the 'chain of command' and their changes to punctuation and spacing..hah.. good luck..

Just to nudge things in the right direction, I wrote the Report of Interview Board, Squadron CO's endorsement, and Group CO's endorsement just to "suggest" some things they may want to mention. Yeah, not a word got changed on any of them. So I wrote my own interview board report and endorsements. Nobody knows how to highlight your strengths and ignore your weaknesses better than yourself, right? Just something to think about...
