“Hot Word”
Updated 27 Oct 09
Greetings, Shipmates!
It has been a while since I last updated my webpage and much has happened since I last wrote to all of you. As the e-resume deadline approaches on 27 November, we in EPM-2 have been anxiously preparing for the start of our annual assignment year (AY) process. While getting the Shopping List ready, the AOs have spent the summer ensuring their Shopping Lists are accurate, conducting career counseling over the phone with many of you, and attending Command Concern meetings Tuesday – Thursday of every week in July and August. Your AOs have also been logging considerable miles conducting enlisted assignments road shows. From Hawaii to Alaska, and Miami to Bahrain (and just about every place in between), we’ve met with 2,372 members from 192 different units. Although the summer isn’t quite as busy as say January or February, when AOs are completely immersed in the slating of your assignments, it has been anything but a downtime for your AOs. After months of preparation, AOs ensured that the shopping lists for AY2010 were ready by 25 September. Commands had until 23 October to validate the shopping list, so that by now all members may have the most accurate view of positions available for AY2010.
I have a feeling, however, that no one really wants me to provide a summary of last year and what I have been up to – You just want to know about this year, so here goes.
The complete AY2010 timeline is posted here – AY2010 SITREP II. Please also keep a lookout for rating specific SITREPs, which will include more details on e-resume deadlines and assignment expectations.
In 2010 we'll also see the realization of our newest enlisted profession - the ME rating. The ME lateral panel was held over the last two weeks, and we anticipate releasing the ME lateral panel results on 11 November. Members who are tour complete in AY2010 and submitted lateral packages are encouraged to draft their e-resumes placing their current rating’s desired positions first, followed by ME positions. Those selected for ME that are tour complete will be reassigned to ME positions in AY2010, while those who aren’t tour complete will be reassigned upon completion of their current assignment. Check out the ME webpage for all the details. There’s still a lot of work to do in the weeks ahead, but there’s no question about it – on 01 Jan 2010 the CG will have MEs!
Also of note, several units were approved for assignment priority upgrades over the past several months. To ensure you are aware of these, I’ve indicated these in bold in the Priority Chart. These changes are in routing for updating the Priority chart in Chapter 4 of the PERSMAN.
2010 will surely be a memorable year for the CG. Much of the groundwork for Modernization has taken place, and countless position descriptions and/or locations redefined. Most importantly, our people are either already in place or will be after AY2010 to implement our organization's Mission Support model.
Lastly, and continuing on with this theme of change, the CG will get a new Commandant in 2010, which means we’ll have a new Master Chief Petty Officer of the Coast Guard. I encourage every Master Chief Petty Officer who’d like to serve as our organization’s senior enlisted person to apply. There’s only one sure way you won’t get selected for this prestigious position – and that’s by not applying. Details are contained on the Special Assignments webpage and in the following MCPO-CG solicitation message.
So …. Best of luck to all you during AY10. Thanks for all that you do to keep the Coast Guard Semper Paratus.
