-Assignments.aspx
3. A complete listing of all boards and panels, including eligibility criteria,
can be found in Refs A and B. As specified in article 1.A.4.c. of Ref C, OPM
will not typically approve early rotation of officers serving in command cadre
or key leadership positions.
4. The AY24 timetable is as follows:

counseling and e-resume guidance.

command concerns validation. Now provided in a spreadsheet format, the AY24
shopping list will allow units and/or directorates to validate the position,

modifications completed by 31 October 2023 will be shopped and filled with
candidates competing for assignment in the assignment year. Billets created
after this date will be treated as off-season fills or considered in AY25.
Deviations to accommodate emergent service critical positions require
endorsement from the first flag in the chain of command to CG-PSC-OPM.
Having all billets firmly established before the e-resume deadline enables
OPM to identify and assign the best officers to the positions. When billets
are shopped after 01 Sep, the synchronization between the new billets and the
assignment process weakens.

virtual, OPM-2 will perform in-person road shows on a case by case basis from
now until 31 Jul 2023. Commands desiring to fund an in-person road show
should submit a request per Ref D. Virtual and in-person road shows are meant
for officers of all ranks, civilian supervisors, and mentors. They provide

and officer evaluation processes.

tour complete or do not anticipate transferring in AY24. OPM-4 conducts virtual
interactive counseling throughout the year via the Microsoft TEAMS application.
Establishing a shared desktop is the most efficient means for an officer to
review their record with OPM-4 and greatly enhances the counseling session.
Officers desiring an appointment should visit the OPM-4 sharepoint site at:
https://uscg.sharepoint-mil.us/sites/psc_spo/psc-opm/opm-4/SitePages/OPM-4.aspx
to request counseling.
