In the rules for the doctors/admin rolls, it states that its a once/month roll? is that correct?

Administrators, like Vehicle Techs and Doctors, build XP.  Non-Mech Techs gain XP exactly as Mech Techs.  Doctors and Administrators have the option to gain 2 XP per month on a 3+ on a 1d6 roll, purchasing new skill rankings in the same manner as Techs.

...yes?  Was something unclear about it?

Basically Techs can gain XP by rolling 12s on skill checks.  Techs can get LOTS of skill checks, because of the frequency of repairs.  Docs and Admins, however, only rarely (or never) make skill checks, so there's no other mechanism to gain XP.  Therefore, this gives them a "slow & steady" approach to XP-building by virtue of doing their jobs each month.

Also, just want to clarify based on your wording. Do you want ALL Mechwarriors to make XP rolls or those that have been with the group for 1+ years(based on rules)?

Correct.  Otherwise it becomes a pain in the dick to track who's been with the unit X amount of time.

It's in the new rules and in the changelog therein.  As mentioned, it increased to 5800.  Don't expect for it to go up for a good long while.

Note:
I will adjudicate all personnel hires and unit purchases Monday Evening in preparation for the timeline to advance on Tuesday. So everyone has the weekend to work on stuff.

Okay, we'll advance the timeline when you post. Just post here when you are done.

There's been a death in the immediate family.   Go ahead and advance, I'll catch up.
