This message kicks off Assignment Year 2023 (AY23) for the enlisted workforce. All members who are tour complete in AY23 should take advantage of this time to think about their next assignment, consider career aspirations and professional development opportunities, and seek guidance from supervisors and mentors. Commands should begin evaluating readiness impacts and preparing command concerns expected in the next assignment season. Commands should also counsel tour complete members to ensure they are ready and available for assignment per 1.A.5 of Ref (A) in AY23. 2. AY23 timeline: Any changes to the dates below will be published on the EPM Portal Site. This is the general timeline for all ratings. Members must review their rating’s kickoff message for more specific guidance. A. Standard assignment timeline: 02 May - 01 Aug: Members contact Assignment Officers (AOs) for career counseling. Counseling will continue until all requests are fulfilled. 02 May - 01 Aug: Commands/AOs conduct Personnel Allowance List (PAL) validation. 02 May - 31 Aug: AOs and Central Assignment Coordinators (CACs) conduct EPM roadshows. 01 Aug: Command concerns (COMCONs) due. 07 Sep - 23 Sep: Unofficial shopping lists published/commands validate shopping lists. 27 Sep: Official shopping lists published. 02 Nov: PCS e-Resumes due for most ratings. 03 Nov 22 - 31 Mar 23: AOs slate members and issue orders. B. EPM-2 will publish supplemental timelines for specific ratings, command positions, and detached duty assignments as necessary. Refer to rating-specific SITREPS and EPM-2 AO Portal pages for additional guidance and deadlines. C. Special assignments will be shopped earlier than general assignments. Timeline information related to special assignments will be posted SEPCOR. 3. Career counseling/guidance: A. Members, especially those expecting to rotate in AY23, those taking the May 2022 SWE or above an existing cut for advancement, and those double-encumbered in positions are expected and encouraged to contact their respective AO directly to schedule an appointment for career counseling. All members may request and receive career counseling from their AO, even if not tour complete. Direct communication with the AO from 02 May to 01 August will increase members' awareness of professional development opportunities and provide the foundation for crafting a realistic PCS e-Resume. Members seeking co-locations should understand policy pertaining to co-location assignments contained in Ref (A). The best way to assure co-location is early contact with the AOs for advice on crafting a realistic PCS e-Resume. To schedule career counseling, please send an email to your respective AO with the subject line (Career Counseling-Name-EMPLID). Career counseling requests for AY23 may be submitted until 01 Aug 22, counseling will continue until all requests are fulfilled. Counseling for members who appear above a new or revised cut is also available throughout the year. Members are encouraged to contact their AOs within two weeks of the published SWE cut or revision message. B. EPM-4: ALCGPSC 103/21 announced the establishment of the Enlisted Career Advisory Branch (EPM-4). EPM expects to have the Enlisted Career Advisors (ECA) at Full Operating Capacity (FOC) by OCT 22. A message announcing the achievement of FOC and the opening of the EPM-4 scheduling tool will be sent SEPCOR. EPM-4 will be one of many tools available to members balancing personal and professional desires. ECAs will complement, not replace, the career counseling already provided by AOs assigned to EPM-2. Members are encouraged to continue seeking guidance from their CPO Mess, participating in local and CG-sponsored mentorship programs, and engaging with their respective AOs when considering future assignments or professional development opportunities. 4. PAL validation/command concerns: A. Commands are reminded to validate their PAL using the Command Information page in Direct Access on a routine basis to ensure position numbers reflect where members are actually assigned. Commands may report PAL discrepancies via COMCONs. For detailed guidance on the procedures to validate your unit's PAL and submit COMCONs, refer to the job aid and template posted on the EPM Portal Site in the "COMCON and PAL VAL" folder located at: https://cglink.uscg.mil/e867e507. Commands may submit COMCONs in the traditional CG Memo format; however, the preferred and more effective format is prescribed in the job aid. COMCONs must be submitted NLT 01 Aug 22. Timely submission is critical in the development of an accurate shopping list. Additional guidance on COMCOM and PAL VAL will be published SEPCOR. EPM also welcomes visits from command reps to address COMCONs and engage with applicable AOs. B. Career Intentions: To prevent unanticipated long-term gaps, commands MUST notify EPM if a member articulates their intention to RELAD after completing the required re-enlistment interview. EPM-2 will accept Career Intention Worksheets (CIW) beyond 6 months to mitigate unanticipated gaps. Commands aware of a member who is intending to separate prior to 01 Oct 23 may use the CIW to notify EPM-2. Once the counseling is complete, submit the CIW to the appropriate AO as soon as possible. This allows AOs to properly shop the position and avoid a vacancy. Members who change their decision to RELAD and desire to remain in service after the signature date of the CIW may be issued orders to a Service need position, depending on timeline and AO notification. The Coast Guard continues to offer opportunities for members departing Active Duty to continue serving in the CG Reserve. Active Duty enlisted members with questions regarding continued service in the Coast Guard Reserve may contact the Inter Service Transfer Team, CG Recruiting Command, via email at [email protected]. 5. Command visits and Roadshows: In addition to career counseling, roadshow attendance and engagement are also critical aspects of the assignment process. An ALCGENL to address the process for requesting roadshows during the summer of 2022 will be released SEPCOR. Members and commands may also view information on the PSC-EPM Portal page: https://cglink.uscg.mil/8785e676 6. AY23 Intentions: A. As described in Ref (A), EPM-2 will focus on filling afloat positions earlier in the AY. All members tour complete in AY23, regardless of assignment priority (AP), may compete for afloat assignments beginning in November. For applicable ratings, AOs will work to slate cutters shortly after the PCS e-Resume deadline. B. Special Needs is a mandatory program. Special Needs Program updates for each family member enrolled in the program must be initiated at least 9 months prior to the member's projected rotation date. A categorization system is in place for dependents in the program. Commands and members should carefully review Ref (B) to learn how these changes could affect their assignment options. 7. All members who desire to compete for or receive orders to an overseas billet shall follow the procedures noted in Ref (C). This includes the use of forms CG-1300, 1300A, and 1300B for member and dependents, and command endorsement prior to e-Resume submission. Table 2 in PSCINST 1300 outlines participant responsibilities to pre-screen before e-Resume submission while Table 3 outlines responsibilities upon receipt of PCS or long-term ADOS orders. Members and departing commands should not delay initiation of this process, especially for e-Resume submissions. 8. Women afloat opportunities continue to expand each year with the new platforms, positions, and conversion of cutters. Women are encouraged to apply for any afloat position. In addition to AO counseling, women and commands seeking information on afloat assignments are highly encouraged to reach out to the Women Afloat Coordinator listed at the bottom of this message to further discuss these career enhancing opportunities. 9. As per Ref (D), commands and members are reminded that AP is only reviewed on a triennial cycle. AP tables can be found on the EPM Portal, link below. Current AP policy will remain in place for AY23. 10. EPM-2 wants members to have an active and informed role in the assignment process. It is absolutely imperative that Commands and transferring personnel meet established deadlines, review applicable portions of Ref (A), and keep a sharp lookout for AY23 assignment SITREPS. 11. CG Portal: The EPM-2 AO Portal pages are the central location for news and information within each rating. The AO Portal pages are located at: https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/units/psc/psc-epm/SitePages/AO_Pages.aspx. All enlisted members should frequently visit relevant pages for current information. Additionally, members are highly encouraged to subscribe to notifications from their rating assignment officers portal page. 12. As always, if commands have questions, please contact: A.
