1. Commanding Officers/Officers exercising administrative control may
promote the personnel listed below, effective on the dates indicated.
2. Members are categorized by the promotion list on which they were
selected. Prior to promotion, Commanding Officers must ensure compliance
with Para 3.A.12 of Ref A for ADPL promotions to O-2 through O-6, Para
3.B.6 of Ref A for ADPL promotions to Chief Warrant Officer, and section
7.A.10 of Ref B for IDPL promotions. Commanding Officers must also
ensure compliance with the provisions of Ref C, unless an exemption has
been granted. If promotion is delayed, Commanding Officers must notify
PSC (OPM-1) or (RPM), PPC, and SPO prior to the authorized promotion
date.
3. If a promotion is delayed under these provisions, further proceedings
under Chapter 1 of Ref D or Section 8.A. of Ref B will depend upon the
circumstances leading to the delay. When an officer whose promotion has
been delayed subsequently meets the standards for promotion, Commanding
Officers should contact PSC (OPM-1) or (RPM) and request authority to
promote the officer. PSC (OPM-1) or (RPM) will authorize promotion with
a date of rank at the time the officer would have been promoted had the
promotion not been delayed. For IDPL officers, pay and allowances of the
grade to which promoted are authorized from the effective date of the
appointment, not the date of rank.
4. As per Article 1.C.9 of Ref D, acceptance of promotion obligates
officers to serve two years time in grade (TIG) prior to voluntary
retirement. The TIG requirement does not apply to an officer resigning
his or her commission.
5. The following promotions are authorized:

6. Pay and allowances of the grade to which promoted are authorized from
date of rank specified. Pay increases will normally be included in
payments for the first payday after the date of the promotion. For
ceremonial purposes, a promotion certificate template can be printed
from the CG Portal utilizing the following link:
https://cglink.uscg.mil/5c99ce3f. Actual certificates are not normally
sent until after an officer's promotion is affected.
7. Officers promoted to the grade of Commander or below during a
reporting period must apply the submission criteria for the grade to
which promoted to determine when their next OER is due. See Para 5.A.3
of Ref A for details. Promotion OERs are required for promotion to
Captain only if more than 182 days have elapsed since their previous OER
submission.
8. The following is a six-month estimate of pending promotions. It is
based on currently available information from the applicable selection
board ALCGPSC and is subject to change. The estimates are given using
the selection numbers from the applicable selection board ALCGPSC.

9. LT promotions normally occur 30 months from the LTJG date of rank.
LTJG promotions normally occur 18 months from the ENS date of rank. IAW
14 USC 736, all IDPL officers will be promoted on the same date as their
running mate. Law limits the number of LCDR and above promotions, and
the number is authorized each year by Commandant. Each controlled grade
can only comprise a certain percentage of the total officer corps. Even
if the Coast Guard has vacant billets in a controlled grade, we can only
promote officers until we reach our authorization cap. The authorized
number of officers in each controlled grade is determined every year in
May after the Academy class graduates and the Coast Guard officer corps
is at its largest. Promotion numbers for controlled grades are
significantly larger during the summer months due to the higher number
of officer separations during these months.
10. POC for Reserve Officers is LCDR John D. Hughes PSC (RPM-1) (202)
795-6517. POC for Regular Officers is LT Brett Ettinger PSC (OPM-1E)
(202) 795-6432.
