SUBJ: RESERVE CHIEF WARRANT OFFICER AND RESERVE SENIOR ENLISTED
(E7-E9) ASSIGNMENT YEAR 2013 (AY13) KICKOFF ANNOUNCEMENT
A. Reserve Policy Manual, COMDINST M1001.28A
1. This message announces the kickoff of the AY13 assignment season
for reserve Chief Warrant Officers (CWOs) and reserve senior enlisted
members (E7-E9). This message provides important guidelines and
information to CWOs and senior enlisted members, command cadre,
supervisors and the Reserve Component at large. Supplemental
information on the AY13 process can be found on the CG PSC-rpm-2
website at http://uscg.mil/rpm/rpm2 and CG Portal at
https://collab.uscg.mil/lotus/myquickr/psc-rpm/rpm-2. Widest
dissemination of this message is essential and requested.
2. Shopping lists: CG PSC-rpm-2 is developing and validating shopping
lists, which identify anticipated vacancies on the Personal Allowance
List (PAL). Updates will be provided as necessary, through follow-on
SITREPS, CG PSC rpm-2 website and CG Portal page.
A. Validation: Commencing 04 Sep 12, unit commanders should verify
the accuracy of the status of each reserve position on their PAL, as
reflected in Direct Access (DA), along with anticipated vacancies.
Units are encouraged to use the e-PAL located at
http://cgbi.osc.uscg.mil/2.0/ePal/ in determining unit billet
structure and staffing. Discrepancies or comments shall be directed
to the appropriate CG PSC-rpm-2 Assignment Officer (AO) via command
concerns NLT 02 Nov 2012. A command concerns process guide is located
at: http://www.uscg.mil/rpm/rpm2/concerns.asp.
B. Availability: 09 Nov 2012, shopping lists will be posted to CG
Portal at https://collab.uscg.mil/lotus/myquickr/psc-rpm/rpm-2 and on
the CP PSC-rpm-2 website at
http://www.uscg.mil/rpm/rpm2/assignments.asp for members competing
for an AY13 assignment.
3. AY13 Assignment Candidate Pool:
A. The primary candidate pool consists of members reported in DA as
tour complete in 2013, members who are over-billeted or in unbudgeted
or in reprogrammed positions, senior enlisted members filling
positions in which a rate or pay-grade mismatch (plus or minus 2 pay
grades) exists between member and the billet per 5.B.8 of Ref (A). CG
PSC-rpm-2 will track additions and deletions to the pool created by
promotions, advancements, separations and position reprogramming and
other actions.
B. CWOs and senior enlisted members serving on long-term ADOS orders
that terminate anytime during CY13 are encouraged to apply for an
AY13 SELRES assignment or expect a status change request to
Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) and participate in the AY14 assignment
cycle.
C. Reasonable Commuting Distance (RCD): Ref (A), section 5.A.2
describes Coast Guard policy regarding RCD. As a member becomes more
senior, the opportunities for assignments within RCD become
increasingly scarce. If a member wants to continue to serve in a
SELRES status, the member should consider assignment options beyond
RCD. Members may voluntarily accept assignment to a position outside
RCD or may be subject to a status change to the IRR, Standby Reserve,
or retired reserve. Members who decline assignment orders may be
issued a status change to the IRR, Standby Reserve, retirement or
separation, as appropriate. Members who do not successfully compete
for SELRES assignments in AY13 can expect a status change to IRR
status during AY13, and may compete for a SELRES assignment in AY14.
D. For additional assignment guidance please refer to the CG
PSC-rpm-2 website at http://www/uscg.mil/rpm/rpm2/assignments.asp and
the CG PSC rpm-2 Portal page at
https://collab.uscg.mil/lotus/myquickr/psc-rpm/rpm-2.
