4. The Reserve program does not use the eligibility list cutoff policy
discussed in Article 7.D of reference (B) due to the limited number of
available SELRES CWO positions and their geographic constrains. In
accordance with reference (C), selectees may waive the Reasonable Commuting
Distance (RCD) policy if they desire to accept a CWO appointment. Selectees
who waive the RCD policy will incur Inactive Duty Training (IDT)
transportation expenses to their new CWO position without reimbursement.
5. Selectees who accept a SELRES position will receive an approval
memorandum, oath, and appointment certificate under separate cover. Pay
and allowances will begin on 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. The policies outlined in Article 5.H of reference (C), previously
announced in reference (A), apply to all members selected for CWO
appointment.
7. Commanding Officers shall ensure selectees are in compliance with
body composition standards outlined in reference (D) prior to their
appointment date. Selectees who do not meet these requirements on the
date of appointment will be removed from the eligibility list and may
reapply during the next annual cycle.
8. An approved commissioning physical is required prior to execution of
the Oath of Office in accordance with Article 9.E of reference (B).
