During Hurricane Dorian monitoring and response, CPC encountered a couple of issues locating some of our service member families. Our records incorrectly indicated some dependents residing within the area of concern and also missed reporting dependents who had moved into the area. It is also imperative for CPC to have record of all dependents which can effect officer entitlements. CPC uses the information on record to assist in keeping officers and their dependents out of harm's way. Authorizations for travel to evacuate are made based on the information we have. Please ensure that your records are up to date to avoid a possible delay in assisting others. A few minutes to update your data will allow CPC to provide better service to our members and their families.
Line Office Liaison Officers serve as a representative of their line offices and assist in filling billets, reviewing OERs, and transitioning officers in and out of their shore assignments in the most organized and productive manner possible. If you have a desire to fill a special assignment and help fulfill the needs of the service, please work through your line office liaisons. Most times they have the best information in terms of organizing the flow of officers through the assignments.
All officers with civilian supervisors are reminded that they must provide them with the "Supervisor's Guide to NOAA Corps Officers". The guide specifies OER submission schedules and provides information and guidance on writing effective OERs. Many of the supervisors are familiar with the process, however it is never a bad idea to provide them a refresher on the procedures and importance of our evaluation system.
A CAB is scheduled on Tuesday, September 24, 2019, to make recommendations for Commanding Officer and Executive Officer assignments. Any officer within two years of rotation could be considered for these ship assignments. Please ensure your assignment preferences are updated to reflect your latest interest, and reach out to ship commands and the marine centers to discuss possible CO and XO assignments. For any questions, please contact CDR Stephen Kuzirian at assignmentbranch.cpc@noaa.gov or by phone at 301-713-7694.
