1. This ALCGENL provides a timeline and amplifying guidance for the 2019
SECB.  Similar to High Year Tenure (HYT), the title denotes the year in which
the members must retire.  For the 2019 SECB, active duty enlisted members in
paygrades E-7 to E-9 shall become candidates for SECB when they have greater
than or equal to 20 years, but less than 21 years of active military service,
and greater than or equal to 25 years, but less than 26 years of active
military service, on 31 December 2018.
2. SECB candidate criteria can be found in Ref (a).
3. The Time in Service (TIS) definition for active duty enlisted members
identified as 2019 SECB candidates is based on all military service reflected
in their Active Duty Base Date (ADBD) in Direct Access.  If a member believes
their ADBD is incorrect, they should initiate a request for a Statement of
Credible Service (SOCS) through their unit admin office and immediately
notify CG PSC-EPM-1 of any corrections.  More information regarding the SOCS
process may be found at: https://www.dcms.uscg.mil/ppc/adv/socs/.
4. The initial list of 2019 SECB candidates will be posted on the CG PORTAL
page for CG PSC-EPM-1: https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/units/psc/psc-
epm/SitePages/SECB.aspx.  By 13 July 2018, commands shall notify CG PSC-EPM-1
of any assigned candidates who have been incorrectly identified.
a. CG PSC-EPM serves as the sole authority for exempting members from SECB. 
No member will be deemed exempt from SECB until commands receive confirmation
from CG PSC-EPM-1 that an exemption request is approved.
