The Officer Personnel Management’s (OPM), Career Management Branch (OPM-4) hosts its third virtual road show March 15, at 2 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. This time the Boards, Promotions, and Separations Branch (OPM-1) will focus the conversation on promotions and post-graduate panels.
OPM-1 governs all processes related to promoting officers within the Coast Guard. These include requests for extended active duty by reserve officers, oaths of office for active duty officers, officer integration, interservice transfer requests, the register of officers, the officer promotion authorization list (OPAL), developing candidate pools for officer promotion boards, chief warrant officer (CWO) and officer nomination appointments, as well as medical waivers.
The office is also in charge of selection and appointment boards. These include postgraduate and advanced education selection boards, which held predominantly from July 1 through Nov. 1 in a calendar year. These panels consider individuals for selection to Coast Guard sponsored postgraduate and advanced education opportunities.
