basis using the criteria outlined in Article 6.B.3.f.(2) of reference (C), as
announced in reference (D).
3. Officers with an approved retirement on file, who do not retire prior
to the Board convening, will appear before the Board.
4. Officers desiring to submit communications to the Board must follow the
guidelines provided in Article 3.A.4.f of reference (C) and Paragraph 10.d of
reference (E). Communications shall be sent via email as a command-endorsed,
electronically-signed memo to HQS-SMB-CGPSC-RPM-BOARDSPANELS@uscg.mil to
arrive no later than the day before the Board convenes. Early submission of
communications to the Board is highly recommended to allow adequate time for
correction should a submission contain unauthorized content. Communications
are subject to the same restrictions as Officer Evaluation Report Prohibited
Comments outlined in Section 5.I of reference (C).
5. All officers should review reference (F) regarding OER guidance and policy.
Rating chains and administrative reviewers must expedite OER submissions
to ensure eligible officers have up-to-date records on file before the Board
convenes.
6. Documents Viewed by Selection Boards: In accordance with reference (G),
Selection Boards see and review only the officer portion of a candidate's
record contained in the official Coast Guard Military Human Resource Record
(CGMHRR), data contained in Direct Access, and communications from candidates
properly submitted to the Board.
   a. Officers are encouraged to review their Employee Summary Sheets (ESS).
      The ESS provides a consolidated view of a member's information as it
      appears in Direct Access.
   b. Officers are also encouraged to review their official CGMHRR for
      accuracy on the interactive personnel electronics records management
      system (iPERMS). To review your CGMHRR via iPERMS, visit the following
      website: https://iperms.mymilrecord.uscg.mil/.
   c. Officers shall ensure their Direct Access information, including
      their Reserve Member Balance, is accurate. Total qualifying years
      of service (TQS) for retirement is used to establish the candidate
      pools for retention and continuation Boards and is taken directly
      from an officer's Reserve Member Balance. Officers who identify
      discrepancies in their Direct Access data should immediately notify
      their servicing administrative staff for assistance.
7. Any officer who believes they are eligible to be considered for selection
by this Board and whose name does not appear on the above list should contact
the RPM-1 Boards and Panels staff immediately at the following email address:
HQS-SMB-CGPSC-RPM-BoardsPanels@uscg.mil.
8. CDR Jesse D. Webster, Chief, CG PSC-RPM, sends.
9. Internet release authorized.
