SUBJ: RESERVE OFFICER CAREER COUNSELING (ROCC)
A. UNITED STATES COAST GUARD HUMAN CAPITAL STRATEGY, 2016
B. COMMANDANT’S DIRECTION 2014
1. To align Reserve career management and assignments IAW REF A,
beginning in SEP 2017, CG PSC-RPM will have an additional resource for
Reserve Officers seeking Career Counseling. The Reserve Officer Career
Counseling (ROCC) will be available to provide officer career guidance
to discuss individual competitiveness, future career decisions, and
officer career management.
2. Furthermore, the ROCC will contribute to the Commandant’s Direction
IAW REF B by:
  a. Guiding officers through careers to make a positive contribution to
current and future readiness.
  b. Place emphasis on the growth, professional development and well-
being of Coast Guard Reserve members.
  c. Reinforce stewardship, public trust, and Coast Guard mission
performance by ensuring officers are knowledgeable about the impacts of
career decisions.
3. The ROCC is:
  a. An on-line interactive counseling mechanism available throughout
the year via the Office Communicator application. Officers with the
communicator functionality (icon located at the bottom right of your
screen once you are logged into Outlook) installed on their workstation
are able to participate. Establishing a live meeting is the quickest
means for an officer to review their record and greatly enhances the
counseling session.
4. Supplemental information on the ROCC is available on the CG PSC-RPM
website: http://www.dcms.uscg.mil/psc/rpm/rpm-2/ROCC
