LAT MOVE INTO MOS 0321: UP TO $116,000 KICKER BONUS

Marines executing a lateral move (LATMOVE) into the Reconnaissance (0321) PMOS can qualify for a Selective Retention Bonus (SRB) totaling over $116,000. This includes a Primary MOS bonus plus a $50,000 LATMOVE kicker for Zone A E-5s who sign an 84-month (seven-year) reenlistment.

Eligibility Requirements
To successfully transition into the 0321 field, you must meet the following baseline criteria:
* Rank/MOS: Open to volunteers who are corporals (Cpl) or sergeants (Sgt) of any MOS.
* ASVAB/GT: Must possess a GT score of 100 or higher.
* Fitness: Requires a first-class score on both the Physical Fitness Test (PFT) and Combat Fitness Test (CFT).
* Screening: Must be a U.S. citizen, eligible for a Secret security clearance, and pass the Reconnaissance screener.
* Obligated Service: Must agree to a mandatory additional obligated service period (such as the 84-month contract for the maximum bonus kicker).

Bonus Payout Structure
The Marine Corps structures this retention incentive with two major parts:
1. Primary MOS Bonus: Eligible Marines may rate a large base PMOS bonus depending on their zone (e.g., up to $66,500 depending on your rank and zone criteria).
2. LATMOVE Kicker: If you reenlist for 84 months, you will receive an additional $50,000 “kicker” on top of your primary MOS bonus.

Reserve Opportunities
If you are transitioning to the Selected Marine Corps Reserve (SMCR), you may also qualify for a Retention and Affiliation Bonus (RAB) rather than the active-duty SRB. Reserves are typically offered 24-month or 36-month obligation options ($10,000 for 24 months and $20,000 for 36 months).

2026 complete!

Ten MRF Athletes represented nine Gold Star Families from the .alabama.marines

In the Competitive Team Division, our teams finished 1st and 3rd overall.

We’re proud of our athletes, but more importantly, we’re grateful for the opportunity to stand alongside these Gold Star Families and represent something bigger than ourselves.

Never Above You, Never Below You, Always Beside You

We are here at the linking up with the .alabama.marines Gold Star Families we are running on behalf of. More to come once the race kicks off!

Never Above You, Never Below You, Always Beside You.

Great night out at the with MRF Athletes showing up in support of .alabama.marines and Project Pathfinder during the Kid’s Race. Proud to stand on the sidelines and cheer on the next generation—events like this are what it’s all about.

Tomorrow, 10 MRF Athletes will step into the arena representing the Gold Star Families supported by Central Alabama Marines Council in both the Competitive Team and Competitive Individual divisions.

This is bigger than a race. It’s about showing up, honoring those who gave everything, and standing shoulder-to-shoulder with their families.

Never above you. Never below you. Always beside you.
