This SITREP kicks off AY23 for the MK rating. All members who are tour complete in AY23 should take time to consider their career aspirations, career progression, professional development, and seek guidance from mentors. Commands should begin evaluating readiness impacts, preparing AY23 command concerns, and should counsel tour complete members to ensure they are ready and available for worldwide assignment. In addition, commands should identify all members nearing the end of their enlistment to review reenlistment eligibility and career intentions for continued service. 2. Slating: a. MK Assignment Officers (AO) will utilize a traditional slating process for AY23. EPO's, AP1, AP2, and MKCM's will submit e-Resumes earlier in AY23. All remaining MKs will submit their e-Resumes NLT 13 Jan 2023. This will allow members who applied for but did not earn an assignment a chance to submit an updated e-Resume for remaining available positions. This approach will aid all members in submitting a more competitive e-Resume based on available billets in AY23. Members should review future MK SITREPS and references (C) and (G) for additional guidance and updates. b. E-6 to E-4 AP3 and below: The MK AOs will be paying close attention to rated sea time in AY23 per reference (E). Members E-6 and below that have less than 36 months of rated sea time are considered sea duty candidates and are highly encouraged to craft e-Resumes that include all cutter opportunities. E-6 and below members with more than 36 months of sea time will be considered for follow on sea duty assignments after all members in need of sea time to advance have been assigned. 3. Advancement: The Coast Guard advances members to fill vacancies. Accordingly, members and commands are reminded that as outlined in reference (A), personnel who compete for advancement must be prepared to be reassigned to fill vacant positions at the next higher paygrade. Members who will take the May 2022 SWE, and are at or above the published cut, should apply for positions at the pay grade to which they will advance. If a member is close to the cut and tour complete, the member should delay submitting their e-Resume until the published deadline. Members who come above the cut in AY23, are in a pay grade to billet mismatch, or double encumbered should consider themselves tour complete in AY23 and submit an e-Resume. 4. Fleet-Ups and Extensions: MK AOs will continue to maximize fleet-up and extension opportunities in AY23. Command endorsements are required for all extension requests. Fleet-ups for members in non-command cadre positions will be maximized. Commands should communicate both fleet-up opportunities and extensions with recommendations through their AY23 Command Concerns. 5. Career management: a. It is difficult to define a realistic e-Resume across all paygrades so it is highly recommended that members take advantage of the AO career counseling (02 May - 01 Aug). This is available to all MK's, not just those tour complete. b. Members should always craft their e-Resume to reflect a diverse career path. No member should try, or expect, to remain in one mission set or geographic area for an entire career. Members should list as many positions as possible on their e-Resume that they would be willing to go to. Members also need to take into consideration their assignment priority (AP) and rank when selecting the number of positions to apply for. Tour complete members who submit an unrealistic e-Resume or do not earn an assignment will either receive a list of remaining positions to rank order or will be assigned to a service need position. c. Members that complete back to back assignments afloat or ashore should expect an assignment to a different unit type. Failure to apply for positions in a different unit type can cause a delay in assignment decisions. Career and mission diversity will continue to be the cornerstones in developing a well-rounded senior MK workforce. d. Members E-6 and below should seek diverse assignments in order to be eligible for all assignments at E-7 and above positions. In addition to the 36 months sea time requirement, members should complete a tour at a boat forces unit prior to advancing to E-7. Members without prior boat forces experience are ineligible for assignment to boat forces units as E-7 and above. e. Women Afloat assignments vary from year to year depending upon the requests received. In addition to normal AO counseling, all women are highly encouraged to contact the Women Afloat Coordinator listed at the bottom of this message. 6. Tour Lengths: Per reference (F), EPO ashore tour lengths changed from 4 years to 3 years in AY22 to reflect the ashore command structure, increase command cadre assignment opportunities, and align with cutter rotation schedules. Ashore EPO's that are currently in a 4 year tour that desire to reduce their tour length by one year should reach out to their AO during the career counseling period. 7. General assignment guidance: a. As outlined in reference (A), some positions require a command endorsement. It is imperative that each member works with their command to ensure that they meet the specific requirements of the position requested and that a command endorsement is included with the e-Resume submission. Failure to include a command endorsement will automatically disqualify a member from competing for the desired position. b. PATFORSWA assignments will be advertised in a future solicitation message which will be released SEPCOR. Specific requirements and the application process will be covered in the solicitation message. Members that are already interested can find additional information at the following website: https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/units/psc/psc-epm/SitePages/Patforswa-MIPFTAG.aspx c. Potential position reprogramming: EPM-2 receives numerous requests to fill billets being proposed for reprogramming. EPM-2 can only assign members to approved positions. Commands and program managers should anticipate billet reprogramming requests and ensure requests or approvals align with the assignment season to capitalize on a robust candidate pool and adequately address the intended position reprogramming action (e.g. rate change, location change). Direct Access is the primary tool EPM-2 and AOs have to advertise open or newly established positions. Vacant positions may also be found at reference B. d. Engineering Petty Officer (EPO) MK and EM combined screening and assignment process for AY23 will be covered SEPCOR. Additional information can be found at Reference (B), EPO library. 8.
