modifications to these allocations may be required to remain aligned
with REFs (A) and (B).

Note 1: These TABs are open to enlisted E-7 and above and officers
who will compete in the same candidate pool. Reference OPM
solicitation in upcoming ALCGPSC for complete eligibility
requirements.
Note 2: These TABS will be filled by enlisted members first. If
there are insufficient enlisted applicants, the selection panel may
select officers. This is a commissioning program for enlisted
selectees.
Note 3: This is a commissioning program for the enlisted workforce,
program details and application deadlines will be sent SEPCOR by OPM
and COMDT (CG-1K2).
3. OPM-1 will publish a comprehensive PG Shopping List for all TABs
designated for officers or will result in a commission. Enlisted
candidates interested in the CGA Instructor TABs should follow OPM-1
guidance and deadlines. This Excel document can be found on the
OPM-1 PG/Adv Ed SharePoint site:
(Copy and Paste URL Below into Browser)

https://uscg.sharepoint-mil.us/sites/forcecom_spo/Adv_Ed_Peer_Grp/
SitePages/Home.aspx.

EPM-1 will publish a separate kickoff message for enlisted programs
at a later date. Programs will not be releasing individual
solicitation messages, with few exceptions such as Law, IPAP, and
OLMSTED. The SEFP solicitation ALCOAST will be released by PSC-OPM.
All the information normally contained in the solicitation messages
is contained in the PG Shopping List excel document.
4. Per REF (B), candidates will incur a service obligation in
addition to any previously obligated service.

7. Out Year Expectations: Fiscal stewardship by respective program
managers is essential to maximizing the number of advanced education
TABs we can offer each year. FORCECOM continues to work with
program managers to identify preferred schools and keep tuition
within annual caps to minimize student out of pocket expenses and
maximize the number of TABs we are able to provide while accounting
for inflationary price increases.
