DIRECT ACCESS CHALLENGES

Our Pay and Personnel Center team members are users of Direct Access –just like you– and are similarly impacted by challenges with the system. Though the Pay and Personnel Center does not own or control repairs to Direct Access, we continue to advocate with the Program Office to prioritize repairs and the C5I Service Center to conduct those repairs. We appreciate your patience and grace during this time period.

In essence, Direct Access is our ship . . . and our ship is damaged and undergoing depot-level repairs. The crew at the Pay and Personnel Center are just as eager for Direct Access to come back to fully mission capable, so we can better serve our Coast Guard families.

RETIRED PAY

At present, for temporary, permanent, VA offset, AEW’s, CRDP, and CRSC disability, we are encountering a processing delay due to systematic issues and a shortage of personnel. You remain our primary concern. We want to assure you that we are fully committed to resolving these issues promptly and handling your cases with utmost proficiency.

2. The Commanding Officer's (CO's) recommendation for advancement (Ready)

must be maintained for the period from recommendation to advancement.

In addition, E-7, E-8, and E-9 candidates must not have an unsatisfactory

conduct mark on an enlisted evaluation for 24 months prior to the

terminal eligibility date. Personnel failing to maintain the CO's

recommendation (Ready) for this period shall be invalidated from the

Service Wide Exam (SWE) and Master Chief Advancement Panel (MCAP) in

which they participated. Personnel who have been invalidated must be

recommended and qualify again through a new SWE or MCAP competition.

3. COs shall determine if advancement eligibility requirements for the

authorized grade have been met. Per Ref B, specific changes and

instructions for EPQs and RPQs are now captured in a semi-annual memo

approved by FORCECOM Training Division at http://cglink.uscg.mil/

320dcb99. If appropriate, a CO shall withhold or cancel the advancement

of ineligible personnel per Article 3.A.21, 3.A.27.f or 4.D.3 of Ref A.

When advancement is to be withheld or cancelled, the CO shall advise

PPC (ADV) by e-mail via AOIX at CMD-SMB-CG-PPC with CG PSC as

information addressee at CMD-SMB-CG-PSC. Please note C2OIX does not

transfer to AOIX. See CG PSC-EPM SharePoint site at

https://uscg.sharepoint-mil.us/sites/psc_spo/psc-epm/SitePages/Advancements.aspx

for additional guidance.

4. Per Ref D, the requirement for all E-6 members to attend the Chief

Petty Officer Academy (CPOACAD) prior to advancement to Chief Petty

Officer is temporarily suspended. Members must attend CPOACAD prior to

advancement to Senior Chief Petty Officer. Members must have

successfully completed the Senior Enlisted Leadership Course (SELC)

prior to advancement to Master Chief Petty Officer. COMDT (CG-128) is

the Program Manager for the enlisted leadership continuum and the

single point of contact for all requests for CPOACAD and SELC waivers

from advancement policy.

5. Per Article 3.A.10 of Ref A, personnel in certain ratings must meet

security clearance requirements for advancement.

6. COs shall ensure personnel advancing to pay grades E-7 thru E-9

obligate required service prior to advancement per Article 3.A.21.c of

Ref A.

7. The rank order number for each individual identified for advancement

in the EPAA is no longer indicated. The original rank order number may

be found at the Pay and Personnel Center SharePoint site

https://uscg.sharepoint-mil.us/sites/ppc/SitePages/PPC%20Advancements%

20Service%20Validation%20and%20Data%20Corrections.aspx but is subject to change.

This EPAA, to include unit designations, will be available on PPC's CG Portal site.

8. Upon approved advancement, members are authorized to change their

RANK as it appears in the Global Address List (GAL) from the Self

Service portal at https://EDMS.uscg.mil/SelfService. This can be done

as a standard user without requiring admin-privileges, does not require
