POSITIONS ON PAL AND NOTIFICATION OF PENDING SARR/REPROGRAMMING

TOUR COMPLETE IN 2011, MEMBERS WHO ARE OVERBILLETED OR IN UNBUDGETED

POSITIONS, SENIOR ENLISTED MEMBERS FILLING POSITION IN WHICH A

RATE/PAY-GRADE MISMATCH OCCURS, AND MEMBERS WHO WILL TURN AGE 60 OR

COMPLETE 30 YEARS OF SERVICE BASED UPON PAY BASE DATE (PBD) IAW 5.B.8

OF REF A. CG PSC-RPM-2 WILL TRACK ADDITIONS AND DELETIONS TO THE POOL

CREATED BY PROMOTIONS, ADVANCEMENTS, SEPARATIONS, AND POSITION

MANAGEMENT, AND INDIVIDUAL MEMBER DESIRES WILL FURTHER SHAPE THE

POOL.

B. TYPICALLY, MEMBERS WILL NOT PCS FROM THEIR CURRENT ASSIGNMENTS

PRIOR TO COMPLETION OF THEIR FULL TOURS. HOWEVER, EARLY ROTATIONS

ARE SOMETIMES NECESSARY TO MEET SERVICE NEEDS. IN AY11, TOUR ROTATION

DATES WILL BE ADJUSTED TO 30 SEP TO ALIGN WITH RESERVE IDT/ADT FISCAL

YEAR PARTICIPATION STANDARDS.

C. REF A, PARA 3.B.4.B STATES THAT RESERVISTS WHO VOLUNTEER FOR

LONG-TERM ADOS ARE TO BE REMOVED FROM THEIR SELRES POSITIONS, WHICH

CREATES VACANCIES. FURTHERMORE, ARTICLE 5.A.13 OF REF A STATES THAT

UPON COMPLETION OF LONG-TERM ADOS, RESERVISTS ARE ENTITLED TO RETURN

TO THE SAME OR SIMILAR SELRES ASSIGNMENT, UNLESS THEY WOULD HAVE

OTHERWISE BEEN SUBJECT TO REASSIGNMENT. CWOS AND SENIOR ENLISTED

POSN UNTIL COMPLETION OF THEIR WAIVER.

5. E-RESUMES: A WELL-CRAFTED E-RESUME IS THE PRIMARY MEANS FOR

MEMBERS TO COMMUNICATE WITH ASSIGNMENT OFFICERS. A WELL-DEVELOPED AND

REALISTIC E-RESUME PROVIDES THE GREATEST OPPORTUNITY FOR A VARIETY OF

ASSIGNMENT POSSIBILITIES WITHIN THEIR SPECIALTY/RATING. MEMBERS WHO

FAIL TO SUBMIT AN E-RESUME BY THE DEADLINE INDICATED IN PAR 11 WILL

TYPICALLY NOT BE PERSONALLY CONTACTED BY HIS/HER AO. MEMBERS AND

COMMANDS SHOULD NOTE THAT E-RESUMES SUBMITTED PAST THE DEADLINES

SENIOR, THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ASSIGNMENTS WITHIN RCD BECOME

INCREASSINGLY SCARCE. IF A MEMBER WANTS TO CONTINUE TO SERVE IN A

PAID SELRES STATUS HE OR SHE SHOULD ANTICIPATE BEING ASKED TO TAKE

ASSIGNMENTS BEYOND RCD. MEMBERS MAY VOLUNTARILY ACCEPT ASSIGNMENT TO

CATEGORY (RCC) TO THE IRR, STANDBY RESERVE, OR RETIRED RESERVE.

DECISIONS, AOS CONSIDER MANY FACTORS INCLUDING SERVICE NEEDS, COMMAND

CONCERNS, CAREER DEVELOPMENT, MEMBERS DESIRES, AND RCD. GIVEN THESE

FACTORS, AND A LIMITED NUMBER OF FUNDED SELRES
