Reserve Policy Manual, COMDTINST M1001.28 (series) 1. This message announces the kickoff of the AY19 Reserve assignment season and provides important guidelines and information for Reserve Chief Warrant Officers (CWOs) and senior enlisted personnel (E7-E9) competing for assignment, command cadre, supervisors and Reserve personnel at large. Supplemental information on the assignment process, including The Reserve CWO Assignment Guide and The Reserve Senior Enlisted (E7-E9) Assignment Guide, is available on the PSC-RPM website: http://www.dcms.uscg.mil/psc/rpm/rpm-2/Assignments. Request widest dissemination of this message. 2. Shopping lists: PSC-RPM-2 is developing and validating AY18 shopping lists, which will identify anticipated billet vacancies. Updates will be published on the PSC- RPM website. a. Validation: Commencing 1 Sep 18, unit commanders should verify the accuracy and status of each Reserve position on their PAL as reflected in Direct Access (DA), along with anticipated vacancies. The Command Concerns process guide is located on the PSC-RPM website denoted in paragraph 1. Select the "Command Concerns link after expanding the "RPM-2" tab on the left. Submit discrepancies or comments to the appropriate PSC-RPM Assignment Officer (AO) via Command Concerns by 31 Oct 18. b. Availability: Shopping list messages will be released OOA 13 Nov 18. 3. AY19 Assignment Candidate Pool: a. The primary candidate pool consists of members reported in DA as tour complete in 2019, members who will change Reserve Component Category (RCC) to Selected Reserve (SELRES), members advanced to E7 prior to the e- resume submission deadline noted in paragraph 10, members in reprogrammed positions, members projected to be released from active duty, and members in billets with more than one member assigned. This includes Reserve Chief Warrant Officers and senior enlisted personnel serving on long-term Active Duty for Operational Support (ADOS) who desire a SELRES assignment following their release from active duty. PSC-RPM-2 will track additions and deletions to the pool created by promotions, advancements, separations, position reprogramming and other actions. b. Members serving on long-term ADOS orders that terminate at any time during 2019 are highly encouraged to apply for assignment. Members who do not apply for assignment will be transferred to the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) and may participate in the AY20 assignment cycle. c. PSC-RPM will adhere to tour completion dates when considering assignments. Members generally will not rotate prior to completion of their tours. However, early rotations are sometimes necessary to meet Service needs. 4. Reasonable Commuting Distance (RCD): REF A, Article 5.C. describes policy regarding RCD. As a member becomes more senior, opportunities for assignment within RCD become increasingly scarce. If a member wants to continue to serve in a SELRES status, the member should consider assignments beyond RCD. The decision to accept orders beyond RCD, however, is purely voluntary. 5. Members who will voluntarily accept orders beyond RCD shall include the following statement in their e-resume member comments: “I, (rank and name) on (date), understand the Reasonable Commuting Distance (RCD) policy stipulated in COMDTINST M1001.28 (series), and will voluntarily accept orders beyond RCD.” 6. Members who decline orders are subject to a transfer to the IRR, Standby Reserve, or may request retirement or separation, IAW REF A, Article 5.A.10. Members who do not successfully compete for an AY19 assignment will be transferred to the IRR and may compete for an AY20. Members who fail to submit an e-resume IAW paragraph 9 will be transferred to the IRR and may compete for an AY20 assignment. 7. For e-resume guidance refer to the CG PPC DA II website at: http://www.dcms.uscg.mil/Portals/10/CG- 1/PPC/GUIDES/GP/SelfService/Member/Se lf%20Service%20-%20eResume.pdf. To ensure that an e-resume endorsement is completed on time, members should notify their command when an e- resume requiring command endorsement has been submitted. The current version of DA will not notify the endorser of the request and does not allow late e-resume submission. 8. For assignment guidance refer to the PSC-RPM website denoted in paragraph 1. 9.
