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.

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.
