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.
