Selected Reserve (SELRES)

• Officers must earn 50 points each anniversary
  Year (AY) to get a good year towards Retirement

9
Individual Ready Reserve (IRR)

• Non-Drilling Active Status, good for temporary
  hardship
• Note the Individual, there is no Inactive Ready
  Reserve.
• Still need to earn 50 points a year (you still
  get 15 membership points), weigh in
  semi-annually, receive Continuity OERs, and
  compete before Selection Boards.
• We do not recommend staying in the IRR for more
  than a year or so, as this places you at a
  disadvantage (in terms of OER and participation)
  at your next Selection Board.

10
Active Standby List (ASL)

• Very few people meet this requirement, please
  read the applicable section in the RPM and
  contact us if you think you met the criteria
• Still need to earn 50 points a year (you still
  get 15 membership points), receive Continuity
  OERs, and compete before Selection Boards.

Inactive Status List (ISL)

• Limbo status where you do not
• Earn retirement points (including the 15 points
  each year)
• Gain seniority or compete for promotion
• Have most of the benefits of being in the
  military
• You can not stay in the ISL for longer than three
  years. If you do, you may be honorably
  discharged from the USCGR (Reserve Policy Manual
  8.A.7) unless youve earned a Reserve retirement.

Inter/Intra-Category Transfers

• Transfers to the SELRES from the IRR, ASL, and
  ISL are handled in two steps
• Receive permission from PSC-rpm-1 to leave your
  current category. This is accomplished with a
  recent physical and be within weight compliance
• Find and fill a position through the ISC (fot) or
  RPM-2 (Assignments)
• Transfers from the SELRES to the IRR, ASL, and
  ISL are handled in one of two ways
• Member Request Request permission through your
  Chain of Command, AO, and to RPM-1.
• Screenings Failure to weigh-in, earn 50 points
  a year, etc may cause you to be transferred from
  your SELRES position to the IRR or ISL.

13
Screening

• PSC-rpm conducts regular screenings to ensure
  members are in compliance with their obligations.
  These obligations include completing your ASQ,
  weighing in, and earning 50 points.
• Failure to meet your obligations may result in
  your transfer to the ISL.

14
Mobilization Disposition Board

• The MOB Board screens officers of limited
  mobilization potential or who have been in the
  ISL longer than three years for an honorable
  discharge.
• Candidates will be told in advance so they can
  communicate with the Board.

15
RET-1 vs RET-2

• Regular Retirement You must complete 20 years
  of Active Duty
• RET-1 is retired, earning pay.
• RET-2 is retired, awaiting age 60.
