SUBJ: FY 2023 RESERVE HIGH YEAR TENURE (R-HYT) FOR THE RESERVE
ENLISTED WORKFORCE
A. Reserve Policy Manual, COMDTINST M1001.28 (series)
B. Military Separations, COMDTINST M1000.4 (series)
C. Guidance and Eligibility Requirements for Enlisted Boards and Panels,
PSCINST 1401.2
1. This ALCGRSV provides guidance on R-HYT for FY 2023 Reserve
enlisted candidates.
2. A FY 2023 Panel will be held for eligible Reserve enlisted members
in the grades of E-7 and E-8. R-HYT is suspended for all other
grades through FY 2023. Panel will be directed to authorize waivers
for those members who display the leadership, accomplishment,
performance, conduct, professional skills, growth, participation
standards, and adherence to our Core Values expected of their grade.
3. Ref A, Ch. 8.B.7.b, lists Professional Growth Point (PGP)
requirements for Reserve enlisted members. Providing the
training opportunities and mentorship required to advance our
enlisted reservists requires active engagement by all Coast
Guard Commands and senior leaders, especially our Chief's Mess.
R-HYT is designed to compel rating advancements and promote
consistent personnel flow for the Reserve enlisted workforce.
4. IAW Refs A and B, enlisted reservists in paygrades E-7 and
E-8 who will reach or exceed their PGP by 01 Oct 2022 will be
considered by the FY 2023 R-HYT Panel 31 Jan - 01 Feb 2023. All
eligible enlisted reservists in paygrades E-7 and E-8 will
automatically be paneled, so no individual PGP waiver requests
are required. However, R-HYT candidates are encouraged to submit a
communication to the panel. Candidates desiring to submit a
communication to the panel must follow the guidelines of paragraph
9.f of REF C. Communications should be sent via e-mail as a command
endorsed, electronically signed memo to:
HQS-SMB-CGPSC-RPM-BoardsPanels@uscg.mil to arrive no later than the
day before the panel convenes. Early submission of communications
to the panel is encouraged to allow adequate time for correction
should a submission contain unauthorized content. Communications
that do not fully comply with the above references will not be
accepted and shall be returned to the member for editing only if
time permits. Non-compliant wording not corrected by the member
will be redacted from the memo or endorsement prior to releasing
it to the Panel President for consideration.
5. Additional important information regarding the FY 2023 R-HYT
Panel includes the following:
a. Though the FY 2023 R-HYT will focus on the grades E-7 and
E-8, a preliminary list of all members who have exceeded their
PGP will be posted to the CG PSC-RPM-1 R-HYT CG Portal Page:
https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/units/psc/psc-rpm/RPM1/SitePages/
Reserve%20High%20Year%20Tenure%20(R-HYT).aspx. The list should be
checked frequently, as it will be regularly updated.
b. Total Time in Service (TIS) was used to determine candidacy
for the FY 2023 R-HYT. TIS is a member’s total military service
time (Active and Reserve Components). CG-126 determined R-HYT
candidacy using Pay Entry Base Date (PEBD) data in Direct
Access.
c. Existing waivers for 30 years TIS or 60 years of age that
extend past 30 Sep 2022 remain in effect. Members with approved
waivers are excluded from the 2023 R-HYT candidate list and will
be processed for retirement or separation as dictated in their
waivers.
d. R-HYT candidates with more than 18 years of qualified
service toward a non-regular (Reserve) retirement as of 1 Oct 2023
will be separated on a date determined IAW Refs A and B.
e. 2023 R-HYT candidates advanced to the next higher pay grade
on or before 31 Jan 2023 will be removed from the candidate list
unless they meet or exceed the 2023 R-HYT PGP for the new pay
grade.
f. Reservists who meet or exceed their PGP between 1 Oct 2022
and 30 Sep 2023 but are scheduled for retirement or separation by
another administrative process before 30 Sep 2023 will be retired
or separated on the earlier date.
g. Members not granted a waiver are not eligible for nor entitled
to either a Reenlistment Board or Administrative Separation Board as
described in REF B.
h. FY 2023 R-HYT candidates with open Physical Disability
Evaluation System (PDES) cases will remain in their assigned
Reserve Component Category (RCC) until their medical board has
been adjudicated by CG PSC-PSD. Commands shall notify CG PSC-RPM-1
via email no later than 31 Dec 2022 of all R-HYT candidates with
an open PDES case or pending medical board.
i. Members who believe they have been incorrectly identified as
a 2023 R-HYT candidate shall have their commands immediately notify
Coast Guard Personnel Service Center, Reserve Personnel Management
(CG PSC-RPM-1) via email at: HQS-SMB-CGPSC-RPM-BoardsPanels@uscg.mil.
j. Commands shall review the records of all Reserve enlisted
personnel in the grades of E-7 and E-8 assigned to their units to
determine if any assigned members should have been identified as
an FY 2023 R-HYT candidate, but were not listed. Commands shall
notify CG PSC-RPM-1 of any discrepancies via email no later than
31 Dec 2022.

7. CG PSC-RPM-2 will make every effort to minimize unanticipated
vacancies that result from R-HYT. Positions currently filled by 2023
R-HYT candidates will be shopped in Assignment Year 2023 (AY23) to
minimize potential gaps.
8. Commands should properly counsel all members who have exceeded
their PGPs to aid members in advancing and reduce the number of
future R-HYT candidates. Reserve re-enlistment interviews and EER
counseling sessions provide excellent opportunities for commands to
continually monitor PGPs and provide appropriate, targeted counseling.
