2. Acceptance Memo: Upon this message posting, all primary candidates selected for their top choice or top remaining choice will receive a program acceptance memo from OPM-1. Primary candidates not selected for their top choice and on an alternate list for a higher choice will be contacted when either their higher choice becomes available or when the higher program has been claimed by the associated primary selectees. If in receipt of an acceptance memo, candidates will have 5 calendar days to accept or decline the position in writing to OPM utilizing the memo templates provided in the official acceptance memo email from OPM-1. Open-ended deferrals will not be considered; acceptance of a program constitutes accepting your assignment for AY25 to include required obligated service. Applicants accepting their TAB may still request to screen for command, submit an e-resume, or compete for other assignments. However, this TAB remains their assignment unless OPM-2 determines another assignment is required based on needs of the service.
4. Non-Selection for Promotion: In the event a candidate is selected for a PG/Adv Ed opportunity on this message and subsequently non-selected for promotion, the candidate will become disqualified, and the acceptance memo will be rescinded, regardless of the status of the acceptance or ongoing applications to schools.
5. Obligated Service: In accordance with refs (c), (d), and (e), attending a fully funded advanced education program will incur a minimum active-duty obligation of three months for each month of education for the first 12 months and one month for every month thereafter. Service obligation periods commence on the date of graduation, program completion, disenrollment, or the termination of previously incurred obligated service, whichever is later (e.g. CGA obligated service, flight training). Questions regarding obligated service should be directed to the Separations Section of PSC-OPM-1 at 202-795-6432 or HQS-SMB-PSC-OPM-1-Separations@uscg.mil.
