* The number eligible reflects the total number of Marines at the end of their active service status. The Marine Corps only has so many slots per year available (shown in parentheses) to fill; these slots are considered reenlistment opportunity slots and are filled by eligible Marines.

** The totals are based on the Marines total number eligible to reenlist. Percentages in parentheses reflect the totals based on the Marines’ available slots, not their overall total eligible.
