Raul Lianez, the branch head for Manpower Military Policy, said in an emailed statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a

said. \u201cWe recognize the talent and commitment those selected bring to the challenge of these duties.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only limit on how many Marines are eligible for VSI comes from how many seats are available at the schoolhouse for whichever special duty assignment the Marine applies for, said Yvonne Carlock a spokeswoman from Manpower and Reserve Affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere is no limit to the number of volunteers assigned to SDAs but some of the assignments fill up faster than others,\u201d Carlock said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf a Marine volunteers to be a drill instructor but assignments for that fiscal year are full, the Marine can re-apply during another fiscal year volunteer period, request to be considered for another SDA, or withdraw their package,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So far 628 Marines volunteers have been assigned to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/recruiting\/2020\/09\/19\/corps-debuts-new-recruiting-commercial-targeting-gen-z\/\" target=_blank>basic recruiting school<\/a> in 2021, while 499 Marine volunteers have been assigned to the <a

course<\/a> and and 97 Marine volunteers have been assigned to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/marine-corps-times\/2020\/07\/22\/my-adrenaline-was-pumping-2-marines-state-department-agent-awarded-for-daring-ocean-rescue\/\" target=_blank>Marine security guard detachment<\/a> course, Carlock told Marine Corps Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The volunteer bonus, in addition to other special duty assignment bonuses, should be a good motivator for Marines to take on these challenging positions, Carlock said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe combination of these three incentives is a considerable motivator for Marines who are facing a range of career and assignment options,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMarines choosing to volunteer for a special duty assignment are essentially choosing a pay raise of up to 21 percent to apply their talent and energy while serving in the assignment.&#8221;
