DIRECT ACCESS CHALLENGES

The Pay and Personnel Center is aware of Direct Access challenges. We are currently experiencing the same issues and working with C5I and programmers to stabilize the system. This message will be removed when resolved.

Note: The issue which was preventing the issuance of PCS orders and entitlements has been resolved. If you continue to experience issues with your PCS orders or entitlements, the Pay and Personnel Center PCS Assist Team is standing by to assist (844-727-2022, PCSAssist@uscg.mil).

mLINQS ISSUE

USCG is still facing an issue in mLINQS with selecting the "assigned to" option from the drop-down menu and in the employee tab for certain states such as California, Ohio, Connecticut and Maryland. mLINQS has indicated that this is not a problem with the mLINQS software, but rather a browser settings issue with the Coast Guard (the settings are currently inaccessible to the average user and unit IT support). We are currently in communication with CG-9336 to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

1. OVERVIEW. The FY23 Military Workforce Planning Team (MWPT)
convened in May 2022 to develop and recommend workforce policy
interventions. This ALCOAST announces the approved FY23 Aviator
Officer Non-Monetary Interventions. Per REF (A), the MWPT
identified strategies for specialties and programs deemed to
have personnel shortages that could negatively influence
mission execution. This ALCOAST authorizes the following
non-monetary intervention necessary to support Coast Guard
missions and fill critical aviation assignments:
a. ELECTIVE TOUR LENGTH POLICY. Aviation Officers ordered
to 3-year assignments at OCONUS commands may request a one-year
increase to their tour length. Officers interested in requesting
such an increase must do so no later than 24 months after
reporting to the OCONUS command.
b. Requests must be submitted using standard Coast Guard
memorandum, with command endorsement, to Commander (CG PSC-OPM-2).
Officers who elect a one-year increase will not be allowed to
change that election unless service needs dictate otherwise.
2. INTERVENTIONS NOT AVAILABLE IN AY23: Assignment Preference and
Airframe Transition interventions were recommended by the MWPT but
could not be implemented to meet AY23 timelines. These incentives
were targeted to retain active duty officers filling essential
aviation assignments. COMDT (CG-711) is working to present similar
interventions for consideration in AY24.
3. Questions from individual officers concerning the execution of
this policy should be addressed to their designated command
representatives. Questions from designated command representatives
should be directed to COMDT (CG-711), LT Melissa Magaro,
202-372-2221 or CDR Chris McAndrew, 202-372-2206.
4. Dr. D. M. Navarro, Acting Assistant Commandant for
Human Resources (CG-1), sends.
5. Internet release is authorized.
