Sub; : BCNR APPLICATION IN THE CASE OF
REQUEST FOR ADVISORY OPINION
1. Intelligence Department, HQMC, has been requested to review and respond to
the Board for the Correction of Naval Records on SNO's request for payment of
Foreign Language Proficiency Pay (FLPP) dated 12 Feb 02. The Marine Corps
Foreign Language Program manager, who manages the Marine Corps' Foreign
Language Proficiency Pay (FLPP) budget, has reviewed this request. It is
Intelligence Department's view that, although SNO has exceptional foreign
language skills that could be a significant asset for the Marine Corps, he has
not and does not currently, satisfy the requirements for FLPP. Fortunately,
he has taken the time to validate and capture those skills in the Marine Corps
Total Force Personnel System (MCTFS), and depending on future assignments,
could rate FLPP in the future.
2. MCO 7220.52D, stipulates that FLPP is intended for those Officers and
Enlisted personnel, both regular and reserve component, whose Military
Occupational Specialty (MOS), Additional Military Occupational Specialty
(AMOS) or billet description reauir- a validated foreign language ability.
In order to qualify, Marines must demonstrate proficiency in a qualifying
foreign language and be in possession of a PMOS in Occupational Field 26xx or
02xx or maintain an additional MOS in 02xx, 26xx or be assigned the AMOS 8611
(Interpreter) or 994x (Foreign Area Officer) AMOS. Marines who do not meet
the MOS/AMOS eligibility requirements, but who are temporarily assigned duties
designated by the Commanding Officer/Officer in Charge as requiring foreign
language proficiency on a regular and necessary basis, are paid FLPP for the
duration of the assignment only.
3. SNO does not meet these eligibility requirements and is, therefore, not
eligible for FLPP. SNO is a PMOS 3404 Financial Management Officer, and does
not currently hold any additional MOS qualifications. His request references
ALMAR 401-97, Review of Lanauaaes aualifyina for AMOS 8611. This ALMAR,
superseded by MARADMIN 282-99, which was subsequently superseded by MARADMIN
372-00 and MARADMIN 524-01, is no longer applicable. MARADMIN 524-01, the
current guiding directive on the 8611 (Interpreter) AMOS program, states that
the 8611 (Interpreter) AMOS is only applicable to Enlisted Marines, and is not
available to Officers. Moreover, SNO's request does not indicate whether he
was ever assigned to a billet that required the necessary and regular use of a
foreign language. In sum, SNO has neither possessed a FLPP qualifying MOS or
AMOS, nor served in a billet requiring foreign language skills. Consequently,
he has not, at any time, been eligible for the FLPP incentive.
4. Although the 8611 AMOS is not applicable to officers, there are several
options in which officers with demonstrated foreign language proficiency can
be eligible for FLPP. Acceptance into one of the International Affairs
Officer AMOS designators in accordance with MCO 1520.11C (International
Affairs Officer Program), qualifies officers for FLPP. Another option is
lateral move into one of the 02xx or 26xx Intelligence Gccupational Fields.
