Please take the time to review these messages and keep a sharp lookout for future EPM and rating specific SITREPs under the ALCGENL Bulletin in CGMS.

Early slate, special assignments, and PATFORSWA messages have been released and slating is in progress, as well as OIC, XPO, and EPO. Refer to rating specific websites for information and updates.

NEW* GEOGRAPHIC STABILITY/DIVERSITY

Career diversity also includes geographic diversity, and we’d like to point out that the COMDT’s policy on geographic stability has recently changed with the new Military Assignments and Authorized Absences Manual, COMDTINST M1000.8.

To summarize the policy, geographic diversity can be achieved by (1) completing full tours of duty, (2) granting extensions liberally, (3) providing local stability for two tours, (4) providing regional stability through multiple tours of duty in a geographic region.

With that, members who have completed two or more tours in a LOCAL AREA without affecting a household goods move are considered to have achieved geographic stability. Such members may request additional assignments in the local area on their e-resume, but must also have a realistic expectation of exercising a household goods move with their next assignment. For all members who desire an assignment in a specific locality, we continue to encourage you to apply for assignments using an expanding square, by applying for jobs that are not only in the city or locality that you desire, but expand throughout the region that you are looking for.

Please keep in mind that areas like Florida, Boston, Seattle, Alameda, Portsmouth/Hampton Roads, Alaska and the Carolinas continue to be places that have more assignment demand than we have assignment vacancies. Because they are competitive regions, it may be more challenging to achieve regional stability there.
