due at CG PSC (opm-1) NLT 11 MAR 2020. In order to process all
applications, OERs and resumes cannot and will not be accepted
after the published deadline.
2. The current Commanding Officer is responsible for preparing the
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
available at the PSC Portal Page: http://cglink.uscg.mil/c09c76a5

for-Human-Resources-CG-1/Personnel-Service-Center-PSC/Officer-
Personnel-Management-PSC-OPM/
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 11 MAR 2020.
Late packages will not be accepted unless operational or
extenuating circumstances prevent timely submission. In these rare
circumstances, commands shall notify CWO Michele Natale at
Michele.A.Natale@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.
8. Final Package Submission Guidance:
Final packages shall be emailed to CG PSC (opm-1) via ARL-PF-CGPSC-
OPM-1-BOARDS global e-mail address with subject line "PY20 ACTIVE
DUTY CWO APPOINTMENT BOARD". Final packages shall be one PDF
containing both the resume and the OER. Merged PDF documents lose
the electronic signatures. PDF’s will need to be scanned together
rather than merged if electronically signed. Separated documents
will not be accepted. Candidates or their representatives can
confirm final package receipt via the spreadsheet (updated weekly)
on the CG portal at http://cglink.uscg.mil/c09c76a5
9. POCs for commanding officers and command representatives are CWO
Michele Natale and LCDR Ginny Nadolny, please contact by e-mail at
