2. To provide flexibility in meeting Service need, a panel of
officers will convene on 31 July 2012 to consider CWOs who request to
continue service beyond 30 years. Selection by the Panel for service
beyond 30 years does not guarantee a tour extension in the current
assignment. All applicants must be available for worldwide
assignment. The Panel will select only those CWOs best qualified to
fill Service/specialty needs for durations of not less than three
months and not more than two years.
3. Application process: Any CWO who will have a minimum of 28.5 years
of service by 01 JAN 13 who desires consideration should submit an
e-resume by 10 JUL 12.

"CWO extension past 30 years" position title. Press the "add
selected to job basket" button. When complete,  press "view job
basket" to review your job basket and complete your e-resume.
In the comments section of the e-resume address your reasons for
applying to the CWO service beyond 30 years process and the desired
duration of your service extension.

Comments are highly encouraged.  Additional letters of
recommendation will not be accepted.
