1. This ALCGOFF solicits volunteers from the ready reserve
(W2 to O5) to serve on EAD for a period of one to three years. There
are currently limited opportunities which will be targeted for FY23
and FY24. Upon selection for EAD, members will be contacted by OPM-2
to discuss billet availability.
2. EAD is often used when the active duty corps experiences
shortages in critical competency areas. EAD opportunities are
balanced against approved accession numbers and are therefore
limited. The commencement date and length of EAD will be determined
by PSC-OPM based on the needs of the Service and the desires of
the officer. Officers selected for EAD positions can expect
contracts to begin during the summer of 2023 or after 30 September 2023.
3. Ready Reserve (SELRES and IRR) officers are eligible to be
considered for EAD. Reserve officers currently serving on Title 10
or ADOS are eligible to apply for EAD provided the member's command
authorizes release to allow the member to accept orders in
conjunction with the EAD agreement. Officers already serving on an
EAD agreement are subject to Reserve extension policies found in
Ref A. All applicants will be considered using the following Ref A
criteria:
a. Possess unique skills and abilities, or professional
qualifications in areas in which there is a critical Service need
and a lack of qualified candidates.
b. Are in grades up to and including Commander.
c. Waivers for active duty and commissioned Service lengths can be
approved by Commander (CG-PSC-RPM) on a case-by-case basis for
officers needed to fill critical skill-set vacancies. To minimize
delays in processing requests, Reserve members must ensure accurate
statements of creditable Service are completed prior to requesting
EAD. The member's Servicing Personnel Office may assist the member
as needed.
d. Applicants should understand the needs of the Service may require
the member to relocate. EAD is a tool to allow qualified reserve
officers to serve on active duty in active duty billets. The more
flexible a member is regarding location, the more likely an
agreement will be offered, provided all other criteria are met.
4. Position vacancies will be announced via the AY23 Exisiting
Officer Assignment Opportunities ALCGOFF.
5. Interested applicants are encouraged to submit applications by
28 April 2023. All applications must be in CG standard memo format,
include a resume, and have a command endorsement. All memos should
contain desired positions from paragraph 4 (above) and must contain
the member's EMPLID and current contact information. Members
currently assigned in the IRR should contact CG PSC-RPM-3 for
additional guidance. E-mail the complete application memo with command
endorsement to HQS-SMB-PSC-OPM-1-PROMOTIONS@uscg.mil and copy the appropriate
Assignment Officer.
6. Effective the date the EAD agreement commences, officers accepting
an EAD agreement will be removed from the Inactive Duty Promotion
List (IDPL) and placed on the Active Duty Promotion List (ADPL)
according to grade and date of rank. The member will then compete
for promotion on the Active Duty Promotion List (ADPL) when
eligible and in-zone. Officers in-zone or projected
to be in-zone should refer to Ref A. Concerns about career timing
and promotion zones should be addressed prior to agreeing to the EAD
contract. Candidates may contact OPM-4 for general questions.
7. The POC for Reserve Officer promotion boards is LT Marvi Rivera
at Marvi.M.Rivera@uscg.mil. The POC for EAD questions is
LT Michele Natale (OPM-1E) at michele.a.natale@uscg.mil.
