1. This message links with Ref (A) and announces to all IDPL officers
the PY13 selection and retention boards, zone sizes, and
opportunities of selection (OOS). Signal numbers (SIGNOS) referenced
below are from Ref (B), which is a snapshot of the officer corps in
precedence order as of 01 Jan 2012. Members in-zone for promotion
should notify Commander, Personnel Service Center (CG PSC-RPM-1) of
any changes to their names, e.g., as a result of marriage or divorce,
if not reflected in Ref (B). Ref (B) is available on line at
www.uscg.mil/psc.
2. PY13 IDPL promotion zone sizes are shaped by the running mate
system. IDPL officers compete for promotion when their active duty
running mates are considered for promotion as noted in Ref (A).
A. In-zone: IDPL promotion zones include officers being considered
for the first time and those who have been considered, but not
selected, by a previous board.
B. Below-zone: PY13 IDPL selection boards have been authorized to
consider officers from below the zone. The number selected may not
exceed 10 percent of the maximum that each board may recommend.
3. Thirty days prior to the convening of each selection board, an
ALCGRSV message will be released announcing the names of officers who
will be considered for promotion. Announcements of zone sizes and
opportunities of selection for IDPL CWO will be issued separately as
appropriate. If your name does not appear on the ALCGRSV and you
believe you should be in-zone for consideration, contact the IDPL
Board Coordinator immediately at 202-493-6912.

9. IAW Ref (C) and Ref (D), a LTJG selection board convenes on 14 Nov
2012 to consider all ensigns whose running mates have a DOR of 31 Jan
2011 or earlier. Unlike the boards listed above, this is a fully
qualified board. The board may recommend all of those eligible.
10. IAW Ref (C) and Ref (D), a LTJG selection board convenes on 4 Jun
2013 to consider all ensigns whose running mates have a DOR of 31 Jul
2011 or earlier. Unlike the boards listed above, this is a fully
qualified board. The board may recommend all of those eligible.
11. All officers shall ensure their most recent points statement and
Direct Access information is accurate.
12. Officers with retirement or separation letters on file who have
not been retired or separated prior to the board convening will
appear before the board. Approved voluntary retirement and separation
letters are provided to the board.
13. Per Ref (E), all candidates within the promotion zone are
reminded that biennial/annual OERs may not be extended past the
regular end of reporting periods. All OERs should arrive at CG
PSC-RPM-1 NLT 45 days after the end of reporting periods. Rating
chains and OER administrators should expedite submission of these
OERs to ensure eligible officers have up-to-date performance files
prior to board convenings. Consult respective OER administrators
regarding all OERs that are due.  Electronically signed OERs may be
e-mailed to arl-pf-cgpscrpmoer(at)uscg.mil. Questions and/or status
reports on OERS should be directed to the OES Manager at
202-493-1728.
14. To ensure all candidates compete on a level playing field,
selection boards see and review only the officer portion of a record
(CG PSC PDR), data contained in Direct Access (DA), and
communications from candidates directly to the board. As stated in
paragraph 7.b of Ref (G), ENS OERs are masked from view at LCDR and
above IDPL selection boards.  The LTJG and LT selection boards will
continue to view entire records, including ENS OERs.  The boards are
given one alphabetical candidate roster so the status of candidates
is not discernible.
15. Officers are encouraged to review their Employee Career Summary
Sheets (ECSS). The ECSS provides a consolidated view of a member's
information as it appears in the Coast Guard's enterprise-wide human
resources management system (HRMS) Direct Access.
16. All officers in-zone are encouraged to review their official
record. To find out more about obtaining a copy of your CG PSC
EI-PDR, please visit the PSC-PSD-MR website at
http://www.uscg.mil/psd/mr/.
17. Guidance to officers not selected for promotion is included in
Chapter 7.A and 8.A of Ref (E). CG PSC-RPM will make non-selection
notification calls to commands prior to releasing the approved board
results.

officer is twice non-selected and they do not meet the criteria of
Article 7.A.8.f of Ref (E), they will be honorably discharged by 30
