MST AY11 SUMMARY
As assignment year 2011
comes to a close I wanted to take this opportunity to comment and give a
breakdown on what’s been a very smooth assignment year for me as the MST
Assignment Officer.
Of the 284 MST’s tour complete in AY11 22% were assignment priority 1-4.
Here’s a breakdown of the AY11 assignments:
Priority 1 (9 members)
Of the 9 tour complete members:
56% received their 1st choice
11% received their 2nd choice
33% received their 3rd choice
Priority 2 (0 members)
Priority 3 (20 members)
Of the 20 tour complete members:
65% received their 1st choice
15% received their 2nd choice
20% received choices 3-5
Priority 4 (34 members)
Of the 34 tour complete
members:
53% received their 1st choice
6% received their 2nd choice
38% received choices 3-5
3% received choices 6-10
No one received the supplemental (leftover) list
Priority 5 (221 members)
Of the 221 tour complete
priority 5’s:
37% received their 1st choice
7% received their 2nd choice
18% received choices 3-5
13% received choices 6-10
9% received choices 11 or higher.
11% received the supplemental (leftover) list
Of the 24 people who received a supplemental list, 20 got one of their top 3 choices from the list 84%.
Common reasons that people received the supplemental list were due to majority of the members selecting the same billets on their e-resumes as those with the higher priorities. There were also member who listed less than 10 billets, all in the same geographic region as to where they currently were or in highly desired areas.
42 members (15%)
received an Extension for AY11.
Of the 63 Priorities 1-4 members, 53 (84%) got one of their top 3 billet
choices and 62 (98%) received one of their top 5 choices. The reason I list
this is to show that assignment priorities 1-4 do very well at getting one
of their top assignment choices. This is something to consider for those
members tour complete in AY12 and beyond. Don’t be afraid to stretch your
boundaries and apply for an overseas assignment, Icebreaker or MSRT billet.
It will only make you a more diverse MST with a great opportunity to
improve your assignment factors for your next transfer.
E-Resumes submitted by tour complete MST’s in AY11 were very good in the
aspect of submitting a realistic e-resume (12-18 billets or more). I think
this helped with more people getting a billet off their e-resume and not
receiving the supplemental list. I hope to see this trend continue in AY12
and beyond.
