SUBJ: RESERVE JUNIOR ENLISTED (E-6 AND BELOW) ASSIGNMENT YEAR 2013
(AY13) KICKOFF ANNOUNCEMENT
1. This message announces the kickoff of the AY13 assignment season
for reserve members, E-6 and below, and provides important
information for junior enlisted members who may transfer in AY13, as
well as for command cadre, supervisors and the Reserve Component at
large. Updates will be provided as required through follow-on
sitreps, CG PSC-rpm-2 Portal updates and CG PSC-rpm-2 website
updates. 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. AY13 Assignment Candidate Pool:
A. The primary candidate pool are Deployable Specialized Force (DSF)
members reported in Direct Access as tour complete in 2013 (assigned
to DSF for five years or more), members in unbudgeted or reprogrammed
positions, members assigned to positions requiring a different rating
than the member holds.  CG PSC-rpm-2 will track additions/deletions
to the candidate pool resulting from advancement, separations and
position reprogramming actions. Service needs, unit requirements,
career path management, and member desires will further shape the
pool.  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.
B. Junior enlisted members serving on long term active duty orders
that terminate during FY13 are encouraged to apply for an AY13 SELRES
assignment if they wish to return to a drilling status in FY13.
Members shall follow the guidance found in both this message and on
the PSC-rpm-2 website at http://www.uscg.mil/rpm/rpm2/assignments.asp
or plan to transfer to Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) status or
retirement if eligible.
C. Typically, members will not detach from their current assignment
prior to completion of a full tour however, early rotations are
sometimes necessary to meet service needs. Members relocating outside
a reasonable commuting distance (RCD) of their assigned unit (i.e.
junior year of college, beginning a job search in different state,
etc.) who are not tour complete must request (with command
endorsement) a new assignment prior to relocating his/her primary
residence outside of RCD.
D. Junior enlisted members shall consider all positions applicable to
their rating as assignment options when crafting DA e-resumes, junior
enlisted shopping lists will not be generated so members should go to
the CG PSC-rpm-2 website for e-resume guidance. 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
