3. The Reserve program does not use the eligibility list cutoff policy
discussed in Article 7.D of reference (A) due to a limited number of
available SELRES CWO positions, which are geographically constrained. In
accordance with reference (B), selectees may waive the Reasonable Commuting
Distance (RCD) policy if they desire to accept a CWO appointment. Selectees
who waive the RCD in order to accept a CWO appointment will incur Inactive
Duty Training (IDT) transportation expenses to their new CWO position
without reimbursement.
4. Assignment of Newly Appointed CWOs: The following policies from
Article 5.H of reference (B) apply to those selected for CWO Appointment:
   a. Selectees must agree to transfer to a vacant, or projected to be
vacant, CWO position for a minimum period of two years from the appointment
effective date. Selectees who fail to report to their assigned position or
complete the initial two-year CWO assignment commitment shall be assigned
to the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) for the balance of their initial
two-year commitment. CWOs who complete their initial two-year commitment
while assigned to the IRR may re-compete during the next Assignment Year
(AY) for vacant SELRES CWO positions on the Personnel Allowance List (PAL).
   b. Selectees who decline appointment and assignment to a position located
within their RCD will incur a two-year period of ineligibility for future
CWO consideration.
   c. Selectees who decline appointment and follow-on assignment to a
position located outside their RCD will not incur a period of
ineligibility and may compete in the PY26 CWO Appointment Board.
   d. Since appointments are based upon SELRES CWO PAL vacancies, members
must be in the SELRES on the date of appointment. Members deployed/TDY
on Title 10 recall or Active Duty For Operational Support (ADOS), and
members on Extended Active Duty (EAD) must be released from Active Duty
to accept appointment. Appointees must serve in the assigned SELRES
position for a minimum of two years before pursuing voluntary Active Duty
of any sort (ADOS or EAD) other than at the member's SELRES unit.
5. Selectees who accept a SELRES position will be provided an approval
memorandum, oath, and appointment certificate under separate cover. Pay
and allowances will not begin until the date the acceptance and Oath of
Office are properly executed. The appointment date for all selectees
is the first day of any month. Upon receipt of the properly executed oath,
CG PSC-RPM will submit Direct Access CWO Appointment transactions on the
date the Acceptance and Oath of Office are executed.
6. Commanding Officers shall ensure selectees are in compliance with the
body composition standards outlined in reference (C) prior to their
appointment date. Selectees who do not meet the requirements outlined in
reference (C) on the date of appointment will be removed from the
eligibility list and may reapply in the next annual cycle.
7. An approved commissioning physical is required prior to execution of
the Oath of Office in accordance with Article 9.E of reference (A).
