KICK OFF-TIMELINES, COMMUNICATIONS, AND OUTREACH
1. This message describes the JCSP timeline, eligibility 
requirements, and process for officers in paygrades O-2, O-3, and
O-4. Command endorsements are only required for tour completion
waiver requests.
2. Requesting to screen for command communicates to OPM and the panel
the desire for a command assignment. Officers who screen will be 
considered for, and may be assigned to, positions they successfully
screen for even if they are not listed on their current e-resume. For
example, those officers who screen for an O-3 WPB/FRC command will be
considered for all open O-3 WPB/FRC Cutter CO positions in addition
to the CO positions listed on their e-resume. Direct Access (DA) will
be used for the JCSP application process.  
3. The following timeline will apply: 
   A. Application Period: 02 September - 02 October 2022
   B. Initial Candidate Lists Posted: 20 September - 20 October 2022
   C. Final Candidate Lists Posted: 21 October 2022
   D. JCSP: 31 October - 04 November 2022
4. Process: Command screening is voluntary. If candidate pools are
not adequate, waivers may be considered and involuntary screening
may be required.  
   A. Application: AY23 JCSP application procedures are provided 
on the CG Portal in the OPM Reference Library - JCSP Portal site at 
https://cglink.uscg.mil/OPM.JCSP.  Specifically, applying to the 
JCSP uses the "My Panel Submissions" link located under "Tasks” in 
DA.  Officers may request to screen for multiple command types if
eligible.  The application period will be open from 02 September
through 02 October 2022; officers who do not adhere to the 02 
October 2022 application deadline will not be eligible. All members
need to verify their DA information access is recent and updated.
   B. Eligibility: To be considered by the JCSP, officers must 
comply with the provisions listed in paragraph 11.b. of Ref A, which
outlines the screening requirements and overall eligibility 
criteria. Ref A is available on the CG Portal in the OPM Reference
Library - JCSP Portal site at https://cglink.uscg.mil/OPM.JCSP.
Officers applying must enter the following in the “Member Comments”
to confirm they have referenced the eligibility criteria for each 
command type for which they apply:  “I have read and meet the 
eligibility criteria listed in PSCINST 1401.1(series) for [enter 
each command type] command.”  If the officer does not meet the 
eligibility criteria, reference paragraph 5.C of this message in the
“Member Comments.” Officers included on a current promotion list or
above/in zone for promotion during the current promotion year, can
only request to screen for commands at the next paygrade. For 
example, an O-3 in zone for O-4 is only eligible for O-4 commands.
   C. Eligibility Waivers: As Ref A and the screening request 
procedures cannot cover every possible situation concerning 
eligibility, PSC-OPM will consider waiver requests on a case-by-case
basis while remaining consistent with the intent of the approved 
criteria.  To request an eligibility waiver, officers must clearly
state which criteria they do not meet in “Member Comments” when they
apply to screen for a certain command. For example: “I have read and
do not meet the eligibility criteria listed in PSCINST 1401.1(series)
for [enter command type] due to…”  Member comments are not viewed by
the selection panel and are only used by OPM for the purpose of
establishing the candidate pools.  A command endorsement is not
required for eligibility waiver requests.
   D. Tour Completion Waivers: In addition to the JCSP application
process detailed in paragraph 4.A., Officers meeting the
requirements of Ref A, but who are not tour complete in 2023 must
submit an e-resume with a command endorsement for early transfer.
The command endorsement should address both (1) an early rotation
and (2) backfill requirements.  These endorsements are used by OPM
for the purpose of establishing the candidate pools and not viewed
by the panel. 
   E. O-2 through O-4 Shopping Lists: OPM-2 posted the command 
shopping list on the portal in the following location: 
https://cglink.uscg.mil/OPM.JCSP.  Any updates will also be 
captured via this link. 
   F. Initial Candidate and Final Candidate Lists: OPM-2 will 
post an initial candidate list on the portal in the following 
location: https://cglink.uscg.mil/OPM.JCSP.  The initial candidate
list will be updated weekly between 20 September and 20 October as
applications and waivers are processed.  The final candidate list
will be posted in the same location.
   G. JCSP Results: Results will be posted via ALCGPSC message.
