OER for each primary and alternate candidate appearing on the pre-
board eligibility list.
3. Paragraphs 13-14 of Ref B and Chapter 5 of Ref C address OER and 
resume preparation. Ref B supersedes Chapter 5 of Ref E and is

4. OER and Duty Under Instruction (DUINS) OER Submission: 
Use Ref B for OER and DUINS OER completion. The following guidance 
is provided with respect to the OER. If you recently transferred, 
received orders to an out-of-rate assignment, or are in an advanced 
education program, you are encouraged to have your current 
Commanding Officer or applicable Program Manager contact your prior 
command for supporting input. Notably, all OER input must document 
performance within the period of report set forth in Ref B. 
5. Resume Submission: 
Using Ref B and Ref D for guidance, all primary and alternate 
candidates appearing on the pre-board eligibility list shall submit 
a resume in CG memo format via the chain of command. The "To" line 
shall read, "To: President, Warrant Officer Appointment Board."  No 
enclosures to the resume (other than the OER) are permitted. The 
resume is limited to a maximum of two pages, single-sided, single-
spaced, 12 point text in Times New Roman font. The resume shall be 
in the format specified in Paragraph 14 of Ref B.
6. The following items must be completed prior to submitting final 
packages: 
   a. OER has been signed either electronically (preferred) or by 
hand by the commanding officer.
   b. Resume has candidate's signature and a commanding officer's 
signature endorsement on the "Thru" line (no second page 
endorsements are permitted).
   c. Ensure candidate receives a final copy of OER for his or her 
records.
7. Final Package Submission Deadline: 
Final packages must be received by CG PSC (opm-1) NLT 1 MAR 2019. 
Late packages will not be accepted unless operational or 
extenuating circumstances prevent timely submission. In these rare 
circumstances, commands shall notify CWO Jennifer Bell at 
Jennifer.K.Bell@uscg.mil immediately to work out an alternate 
submission schedule. Do not notify CG PSC (opm-1) after the 
deadline has passed, as final packages received late will not be 
accepted under any circumstances.

Final packages shall be emailed to CG PSC (opm-1) via ARL-PF-CGPSC-
OPM-1-BOARDS global e-mail address with subject line "Active Duty
