What action must a Marine take after completing a request mast?

After completing a request mast, a Marine must make a written statement on the degree of satisfaction. This requirement is an essential part of the request mast process as it allows the Marine to formally document their experience regarding the handling of their request. It ensures there is a record of their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the outcome or response they received.

This written feedback serves multiple purposes: it helps to provide insights to leadership about the effectiveness of the mast process, informs future improvements to the handling of issues, and may also play a role in accountability if there are repeated concerns raised by multiple Marines. By submitting this statement, the Marine contributes to a culture of transparency and communication within the unit or command structure, which is fundamental to the operational effectiveness of the USMC.
