FAQ

What is the LATMOVE application process?
The LATMOVE application MARADMIN is in final staffing and will be published soon. The LATMOVE application instructions will look very similar to MARADMIN 542/21, paragraph 5.
Are there a specific number of LATMOVEs allowed?

Will LATMOVE-ing incur an additional Service Obligation?
·   Service obligations for LATMOVE will be determined by training requirements.

·   For Officers who are accepted for LATMOVE and attend the Entry Level Training pipeline courses the service obligation will be 60* months.

What 17XX billets are available in FY23?
