Are members of the SMCR allowed to enter MSG duty if all requirements are met?

The SMCR aren't eligible for the program, nor are Active Reservists....I worked with the SMCR in Dayton, OH. You have to be on active duty. The SMCR are designed to augment the active forces during times of war or national emergencies. Your Reserve Recruiter (an AR) has access to all the pubs and has contact with: HQ 4th MarDiv and HQMC. He or she has all the answers or knows someone who does; don't let them tell you otherwise.

Short answer is no. Long answer is that you have to be Active duty among other qualifiers to be eligible. If you don't beleive this group of people I recommend contacting your career planner or the MSG recruiter.

I'm not sure if a reservist can do MSG duty since you need to be active for 3+ years and do 3 different embassies. If you can get activation orders for that duration I say yes submit a package.
