memo to CAPT Joan Snaith Joan.Snaith@uscg.mil for RDML Selection,
CDR Jayme Dubinsky at Jayme.L.Dubinsky@uscg.mil for CAPT and CDR Selection,
and LT Briana Biagas Briana.L.Biagas@uscg.mil for LCDR Selection and
below to arrive no later than the date the Board convenes. Early submission
of communications to the Board 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 will be returned to the officer for editing only
if time permits. Non-compliant wording not corrected by the officer
will be redacted from the memo or endorsement prior to releasing it
to the Board President for consideration.
11. Officers with approved voluntary separation requests on file who
have not been separated prior to the Board convening will appear before
the Board. A list of officers with approved voluntary separation requests,
with the exception of approved temporary separations, is provided to
and viewed by the Board.
12. IAW Article 5.E.2.b of Ref E, all candidates within or above the
selection zones are reminded that their annual/semiannual OERs shall
not be extended past regular end of reporting periods. IAW Ref B, all
in-zone or above-zone candidates for this year's LT Selection Board
must submit semiannual OERs with an ending date of 30 Jun 23 instead
of 31 Jul 23 to ensure that the OERs are processed in time for the Board.
All OERs should arrive at PSC-OPM-3 (Officer Evaluations Branch) no
later than 45 days after the end of reporting periods. Rating chains
and OER administrators should expedite submission of these OERs to ensure
eligible officers have up-to-date performance records on file before
the Board convenes and should ensure that the SUBJ line for OER submission
includes "PRIORITY BOARD CANDIDATE <INSERT MEMBERS NAME>" in the submission.
This will allow OPM-3 to ensure it gets properly routed and prioritized.
A green evaluation status in CGBI indicates a current OER is on file
and was received by PSC-OPM-3. For OER questions please visit
https://uscg.sharepoint-mil.us/sites/psc_spo/psc-opm/opm-3/SitePages/OPM-3.aspx or contact PSC-OPM-3.
13. Ref G identifies those documents in an officer's Official Military
Personnel File (OMPF) that are permitted to be viewed by Selection Boards.
Per paragraph 7.B of Ref G, ENS OERs are not considered at LCDR and
above ADPL Selection Boards. The LTJG and LT Selection Boards, however,
will view the officer's complete record, including ENS OERs. Additionally,
as addressed in paragraphs 5.B and 5.C of Ref G, data contained within
Direct Access (DA) is part of an officer's record, and data fields from
DA are permitted be reviewed by a Board. It is the responsibility of
each officer appearing before a Board to ensure that their DA information
is correct. For those officers who have prior enlisted service, it should
be noted that Officer Selection Boards only view and consider the officer
portion of records. Each Board is given an alphabetically-ordered eligibility
roster of the candidates with above-zone and in-zone officer rosters
integrated, ensuring that the status of each candidate is not discernible.
Officers are responsible for ensuring the completeness and accuracy
of their record no less than five business days prior to the convening
of the Board to allow OPM staff time to administratively prepare the
records to be furnished.
14. Article 3.A.4.e of Ref E contains the policy regarding In-Zone Reordering
for all ADPL best-qualified Selection Boards for ranks LT through CAPT.
Selection Boards have the option to recognize officers of particular
merit by reordering them to the top of the selection list. If the reordering
tool is employed, Selection Boards may only select up to five percent
of the total authorized to be recommended for promotion to LT or LCDR,
up to seven and a half percent of the total authorized to be recommended
for promotion to CDR, and up to ten percent of the total authorized
to be recommended for promotion to CAPT.
15. Article 6.B.14 of Ref E contains the policy regarding Specialty
Considered Selections (SCS) for all ADPL best-qualified Selection Boards
for ranks LT through CAPT. If SCS is employed, the Commandant will provide
the Selection Board with guidance on selecting officers possessing a
particular Officer Specialty Code (OSC) to meet an existing or anticipated
Service need. The number selected when specialty is considered a factor
in selection may not exceed five percent of the total authorized to
be recommended for promotion to LT or LCDR, seven and a half percent
of the total authorized to be recommended for promotion to CDR, and
ten percent of the total authorized to be recommended for promotion
to CAPT, unless such a percentage is a number less than one, in which
case the Board may recommend one officer.
16. Officers should review their Employee Summary Sheets (ESS) before
their Board convenes. The ESS provides a consolidated view of an officer's
career information as it appears in DA. As part of the ESS review and
in alignment with SCS, members should verify that all of their OSCs
are up to date. All candidates should submit OSC applications no less
than 60 days prior to a Board to ensure they are properly reviewed and
entered in DA. Also, please ensure they are labeled "PRIORITY BOARD
CANDIDATE <INSERT MEMBERS NAME>" in the submission (to OPM-3). All officers
above-zone and in-zone should also take steps to review their official
record. In accordance with Ref F, any member with a matter of record
associated with the COVID-19 mandate should contact OPM or Military
Records immediately. Guidance for members to review their records is
available at: https://uscg.sharepoint-mil.us/sites/psc_spo/psc-opm/1/a/SitePages/Record-Preparation.aspx.
17. Approximately 30 days prior to convening the RDML, CAPT, CDR, LCDR,
and LT Selection Boards, an ALCGOFF message will be released announcing
the names of the officers that will be considered for promotion. If
an officer believes that they should be in the zone for promotion but
their name does not appear in the ALCGOFF, please contact the Boards
POC listed in paragraph 18.a immediately. Occasionally, there may be
small changes in the candidate pools projected in this message and the
names listed in the ALCGOFF messages announcing each specific Selection
Board. These changes may be caused by authorized adjustments to zone
size or ADPL movements attributed to Extended Active Duty contracts,
Permanent Commissioned Teaching Staff or Reserve Component Manager designations,
or unexpected changes to planned separations.
18. Announcements of zone sizes and OOSs for CWO, RCM, and PCTS will
be issued separately as appropriate. It is highly recommended that all
CWO, RCM, and PCTS members also take steps now to ensure compliance
with paragraphs 11, 12, and 15.
