SOLICITATIONS
1. The Reserve Personnel Management (RPM) Division announces
the implementation of the Reserve Personnel Career Counseling
(RPCC) system, previously Reserve Officer Career (ROCC) system.
2. The RPCC provides career management counseling to all Reserve
personnel with special emphasis on career decisions, assignment
competitiveness, promotions and advancements.
3. The RPCC system consists of three lines of effort which
effectively communicate career management and recommendations
based on the environment and current trends of the Reserve force.
These lines of effort are:
a. The RPCC Guide,
b. RPM Roadshows, outlined in REF A, and,
c. Individual Reserve Personnel Career Counseling sessions.
4. The RPCC Guide provides Reserve Personnel an easily accessible
reference to better understand the assignment and selection
processes, in an effort to improve assignment competitiveness,
career progression, and ultimately make informed decisions.
The RPCC guide provides a broad overview of a successful career
path, based upon known assignment, retention, promotion and
advancement actions. The RPCC Guide is accessible on the RPM-2
web site at https://www.dcms.uscg.mil/Our-Organization/Assistant
-Commandant-for-Human-Resources-CG-1/Personnel-Service-Center-PSC
/Reserve-Personnel-Management-PSC-RPM/RPM-2/RPCC/.
5. Individual Reserve Personnel Career Counseling sessions are
interactive discussions normally conducted via telephone. These
individually tailored sessions include a joint review of the
member’s Employee Summary Sheet and Electronic Individual Personal
Data Record (EI-PDR), a discussion of career paths, a review of
the assignment process, and recommendations for future assignments
and professional development opportunities to improve competitiveness.
a. Reserve members are required to read the RPCC Guide
sections pertinent to them before requesting an Individual RPCC session.
b. Although not required, it maybe helpful for members to
obtain a copy of their EI-PDR via the Personnel Service Center-
Business Operations Division prior to the counseling session:

encouraged to review their record and have any questions or concerns
ready for discussion during the counseling session. Please note
the typical time needed for EI-PDR delivery is three to six weeks.
c. Members requesting an Individual RPCC session should
email HQS-DG-CGPSC-RPM-RPCC@uscg.mil with tentative dates and times
of availability. RPM will reply and establish a firm appointment
that meets the member's schedule, even if after-hours or weekends.
d. Access to a Coast Guard standard workstation is not
required for these sessions if the member has a copy of their
EI-PDR and Employee Summary Sheet. However, if the member
schedules an appointment with access to a standard workstation,
RPM can use the Skype for Business application if necessary.
