Assignment is in a hardship location (or difficult-to-recruit position) where there is significant unmet need for qualified professionals • 3. Assignment requires regular engagement with other uniformed services. • Assignment does not meet criteria 1-4 but cannot be filled without the • Commissioned Corps and will address an important public health need. • Assignment requires individual to be available for rapid deployment – domestic • or international – at the direction of the agency head (as distinguished from deployment for natural disaster or international response) or requires availability to perform duties 24/7, including when on leave.

Response readiness is still an administrative check used for promotion. Officers who fail to meet and maintain basic readiness will not be promoted

  32. Promotion - Benchmarks Your raw scores on the benchmarks any given year are not meaningful compared to a previous year

  33. Promotion General feedback to all officers • Current CVs are very important • Check Therapist Category for current year Promotion Benchmarks • Use recommended CV format on website • Be cautious in use of abbreviations and discipline specific “jargon” • Do your best to make sure PIR, CV, officer/ROS statements, and COER attachments all tell cohesive story about you. Educate your rating and reviewing official about importance of completing documents.

  34. Promotion General feedback to all officers: • Career counseling encouraged but not required for any officer not promoted. Officers are free to choose who performs the counseling. • Category career counseling by CPO or designee required for officers ranked in the lowest quartile.

  35. Promotion General feedback to all officers • Review your OPF to see if you can EASILY locate information that addresses ALL promotion benchmarks. • List the contact hours for continuing education • Please consider the fax machine you are using • Common issues included missing or out-of-date documents, 100% under the officer’s influence; CVs, Officer Statements, Continuing Education List. • Verify that documents are complete, accurate, error free, and legible after they are faxed to the OPF.
