PROVIDED, AS REQUIRED THROUGH FOLLOW-ON SITREPS. WIDEST

VERIFY THE ACCURACY OF RESERVE POSITIONS ON THEIR PALS AND SUBMIT
COMMAND CONCERNS VIA EMAIL TO THE APPLICABLE ASSIGNMENT OFFICER (AO).
A POSITION NOT SHOPPED COULD RESULT IN A UNIT GAP AT THE END OF THE
ASSIGNMENT SEASON. TIMELY COMMAND CONCERNS ARE AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT
OF COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN UNITS AND CG PSC-RPM. THEY SHOULD ADDRESS
RESERVE-SPECIFIC ASSIGNMENT ISSUES, TRAINING CAPACITY CONCERNS, THE
WILLINGNESS/CAPACITY OF A UNIT TO OVER-BILLET (MULTIPLE-ENCUMBER)
POSITIONS ON PAL AND NOTIFICATION OF PENDING SARR/REPROGRAMMING
PACKAGES THAT WOULD RESULT IN MOVING OR DELETING PAL POSITIONS.
EXAMPLES OF COMMAND CONCERNS ARE AVAILABLE AT CG PSC-RPM-2 WEBSITE
HTTP://WWW.USCG.MIL/PSC/RPM/RPM2/CONCERNS.ASP
4. AY11 ASSIGNMENT CANDIDATE POOL:
A. THE PRIMARY CANIDATE POOL ARE MEMBERS REPORTED IN DIRECT ACCESS AS
TOUR COMPLETE IN 2011, MEMBERS WHO ARE OVERBILLETED OR IN UNBUDGETED
POSITIONS, SENIOR ENLISTED MEMBERS FILLING POSITION IN WHICH A
RATE/PAY-GRADE MISMATCH OCCURS, AND MEMBERS WHO WILL TURN AGE 60 OR
COMPLETE 30 YEARS OF SERVICE BASED UPON PAY BASE DATE (PBD) IAW 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 ACTIONS. SERVICE NEEDS, UNIT REQUIREMENTS, CAREER PATH
MANAGEMENT, AND INDIVIDUAL MEMBER DESIRES WILL FURTHER SHAPE THE
POOL.
B. TYPICALLY, MEMBERS WILL NOT PCS FROM THEIR CURRENT ASSIGNMENTS
PRIOR TO COMPLETION OF THEIR FULL TOURS. HOWEVER, EARLY ROTATIONS
ARE SOMETIMES NECESSARY TO MEET SERVICE NEEDS. IN AY11, TOUR ROTATION
DATES WILL BE ADJUSTED TO 30 SEP TO ALIGN WITH RESERVE IDT/ADT FISCAL
YEAR PARTICIPATION STANDARDS.
C. REF A, PARA 3.B.4.B STATES THAT RESERVISTS WHO VOLUNTEER FOR
LONG-TERM ADOS ARE TO BE REMOVED FROM THEIR SELRES POSITIONS, WHICH
CREATES VACANCIES. FURTHERMORE, ARTICLE 5.A.13 OF REF A STATES THAT
UPON COMPLETION OF LONG-TERM ADOS, RESERVISTS ARE ENTITLED TO RETURN
TO THE SAME OR SIMILAR SELRES ASSIGNMENT, UNLESS THEY WOULD HAVE
OTHERWISE BEEN SUBJECT TO REASSIGNMENT. CWOS AND SENIOR ENLISTED
SERVING ON LONG-TERM ORDERS THAT TERMINATE BEFORE 30 SEP 11 ARE
ENCOURAGED TO APPLY FOR AN AY11 SELRES ASSIGNMENT. E-RESUMES SHOULD
SPECIFY THE END DATE OF THEIR ADOS ORDERS, ALONG WITH POSITION
DESIRES AND QUALIFICATIONS NOT LISTED IN DA. CWOS AND SENIOR ENLISTED
WHO ANTICIPATE RELEASE FROM LONG-TERM ADOS AND WHO SEEK SELRES

OR 30 YEARS OF SERVICE. MEMBERS WITH AN APPROVED OVER 30 YEARS OF
SERVICE WAIVER IAW REF B WILL CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THEIR ASSIGNED
POSN UNTIL COMPLETION OF THEIR WAIVER.
5. E-RESUMES: A WELL-CRAFTED E-RESUME IS THE PRIMARY MEANS FOR
MEMBERS TO COMMUNICATE WITH ASSIGNMENT OFFICERS. A WELL-DEVELOPED AND
REALISTIC E-RESUME PROVIDES THE GREATEST OPPORTUNITY FOR A VARIETY OF
ASSIGNMENT POSSIBILITIES WITHIN THEIR SPECIALTY/RATING. MEMBERS WHO
FAIL TO SUBMIT AN E-RESUME BY THE DEADLINE INDICATED IN PAR 11 WILL
TYPICALLY NOT BE PERSONALLY CONTACTED BY HIS/HER AO. MEMBERS AND
COMMANDS SHOULD NOTE THAT E-RESUMES SUBMITTED PAST THE DEADLINES
WITHOUT A PRIOR EXTENSION FROM THE AO PLACE MEMBERS AT RISK OF NOT
HAVING THEIR INPUT CONSIDERED. AN E-RESUME GUIDE IS LOCATED AT:
HTTP://USCG.MIL/RPM/RPM2. WHEN REQUESTING AN EXTENSION, EARLY
ROTATION, OR SERA POSITION ALWAYS INCLUDE OTHER ASSIGNMENT OPTIONS
WITHIN YOUR RATING ON YOUR E-RESUME IN THE EVENT THE EXTENSION, SHORT
TOUR OR SERA POSITION IS NOT GRANTED. COMMAND ENDORSEMENTS ARE
REQUIRED FOR EXTENSIONS, SHORT TOURS OR SERA POSITIONS AND MUST
ADDRESS THE UNIT ABILITY TO ACCOMMODATE BILLET GAPS. SEE PARA 10.C
REGARDING SERA COMMAND ENDORSEMENTS. COMMAND ENDORSEMENTS PROVIDE
CRITICAL INFORMATION WHICH ASSIGNMENT OFFICERS TAKE INTO
CONSIDERATION AND ARE HIGHLY ENCOURAGED FOR ENLISTED TOUR COMPLETE
MEMBERS. COMMAND ENDORSEMENTS WILL ONLY BE RECOGNIZED FROM OINC,
SRO, XO, OR CO FOR THE ASSIGNED MEMBER. A STEP BY STEP COMMAND
ENDORSEMENT (E-INTERVIEW) GUIDE IS POSTED ON THE CG PSC-RPM-2 WEBSITE
AT: HTTP://USCG.MIL/RPM/RPM2
6. 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
INCREASSINGLY SCARCE. IF A MEMBER WANTS TO CONTINUE TO SERVE IN A
PAID SELRES STATUS HE OR SHE SHOULD ANTICIPATE BEING ASKED TO TAKE
ASSIGNMENTS BEYOND RCD. MEMBERS MAY VOLUNTARILY ACCEPT ASSIGNMENT TO
A POSITION OUTSIDE RCD OR ACCEPT A CHANGE IN RESERVE COMPONENT
CATEGORY (RCC) TO THE IRR, STANDBY RESERVE, OR RETIRED RESERVE.
7. ACCEPTANCE OF ASSIGNMENT ORDERS: WHEN MAKING ASSIGNMENT
DECISIONS, AOS CONSIDER MANY FACTORS INCLUDING SERVICE NEEDS, COMMAND
CONCERNS, CAREER DEVELOPMENT, MEMBERS DESIRES, AND RCD. GIVEN THESE
FACTORS, AND A LIMITED NUMBER OF FUNDED SELRES
POSITIONS, A MEMBERS WHO DECLINE ASSIGNMENT ORDERS WILL BE REQUIRED
TO CHANGE RCC FROM SELRES TO THE IRR, STANDBY RESERVE OR RETIRED
RESERVE. MEMBERS WHO DECLINE ASSIGNMENT ORDERS AND REQUEST AN RCC
CHANGE TO THE IRR NORMALLY WILL BE INELIGIBLE FOR A SELRES POSITION
UNTIL THE NEXT ASSIGNMENT YEAR. MEMBERS WHO REQUEST RETIREMENT IN
LIEU OF ORDERS (RILO) SHALL SUBMIT THEIR RETIREMENT REQUESTS TO
