4. OVERBILLETS: To meet the guidance set forth in the Junior Officer First Tour Assignment (JOFTA) policy, 
junior officers were over-billeted to Cutters, Marine Inspections, Cyber, Legal, Air Stations, Sector Response, 
and Intel. This accounted for 200 (136) junior officers, or 11% (26%), of junior officer first tour assignments.
5. The AY25 assignment timeline will remain consistent with recent years. May through August is the best time 
for individuals to engage directly with their assignment officer for general career counseling and initial 
guidance on AY25 intentions. For members anticipating re-assignment in AY25, now is the time to begin 
preparations for the assignment season including updating your officer record, validating competencies, 
completing a Record of Professional Development (Form CG-4082), verifying contact information in Direct Access, 
registering for special needs if necessary and reviewing/updating your employee summary sheet. Members can access 
their electronic record in real-time at 
https://iperms.mymilrecord.uscg.mil
6. All O6-and-below off-season assignment opportunities are announced via ALCGOFF messages. The OPM SharePoint site 
(https://uscg.sharepoint-mil.us/sites/psc_spo/psc-opm/SitePages/ProjectHome.aspx) is also the online source for 
information on officer personnel management issues and news. The OPM SharePoint site contains AO notes and information 
on boards/panels, officer evaluations, and career management.
7. Throughout the summer months and into the fall, we will continue to communicate through traditional channels 
(SharePoint notes, off-season solicitations, and shopping list updates); however, the most up-to-date information can 
be found on the OPM SharePoint site and AO notes. 
8. OPM-2 solicits Command Concerns through our AY Preliminary Shopping List Validation and Command Concerns. 
In AY24, OPM-2 solicited feedback for 2,855 positions and received comments for 79% of these positions.
9. OPM continues to implement improvements within available communication mediums to enhance process transparency. 
Assignment Officer are available to conduct in-person unit OPM roadshows. To request a unit funded in-person roadshow, 
please email OPM-4 at HQS-SMB-CGPSC-OPM-4@uscg.mil. Additionally, the OPM library of podcasts discussing career paths, 
e-resume submissions and boards and panels continues to grow and be refined to provide the workforce with the most 
up to date information via SharePoint. We are working closely with CG-1 on all military workforce policies that 
influence talent management. Again, OPM greatly appreciates the professionalism and patience demonstrated by the 
officer corps throughout this busy assignment year.
