OFFICER BRANCH NEWS (CONT'D)
Company Grade Officers Notes
(Cont’d)
If you believe this is when you should be
moving, please reach out to me.
Please continue to reach out early and often, I
cannot help you if I do not know what you
need. One of the biggest takeaways from last
quarter was that officers do not know their
senior raters' priorities. If you have not had an
office call with your senior rater I recommend
getting on their calendar and asking what their
biggest concern, issues, improvements, they
want to see from your position. Once they tell
you crush number one, improve the
organization.
JAN 25 CCC STUDENTS
Your YMAV will be 2501 and will not change so
your unit can forecast you as a loss. I will add
you to the 25-02 marketplace. All ATRRS and
Assignment Instructions (AI) have been
released, reach out of you do not see member
elections.
CAREER COUNSELING
I strongly encourage you to reach out to me at
any time IOT schedule a career counseling
session. I remain flexible and I am happy to
answer questions via email, TEAMS, or over
the phone. Honestly, the most convenient way
to speak with you about your career is a brief
email followed by a TEAMS call so I can have
time to review your file and be better prepared
to provide you the best guidance, options and
answers to your questions. The sooner you
reach out the better.
DCP/TWI
Results will be published NLT 01OCT2024.
25-02 CPT MARKET PLACE (25SEP to 12NOV)
All market movers have been notified. If you
have not been notified, contact me. To ensure

ensure that your YMAV/DEROS is correct. For
the 25- 02 market YMAVs and DEROS’ between
APR25 to SEP25 will be movers.
This market will be in IPPS-A NOT AIM2. There
will be a split market J2 (CPT-BQ) preference
and unit input similar to AIM market and J5
(CPT-not KD complete) preferences only, no
unit input or interviews.

Take aways from 25-01:
-Make sure EFMP/MACP is updated
- Notify me of any REFRAD, MEB or
RETIREMENT, not informing me only hurts your
peers and units.
-Proactive officers get the best results
-Removal from market will not happen after
mid-market review
-Incorrect YMAV/DEROS
RULES OF ENGAGEMENT FOR AIM MARKET
1. Units “should” not ask you for OERs;
you can provide if you choose too. However,
units should not even state or ask “if you would
like, you can send your OER.”
2. Branch will not share any information to
the officer or the unit IRT preference placement.
Do not ask.
3. Get involved with the market early and
often. There can be weekly changes as the
marketplace evolves.
4. If you contact a unit IRT a position and the
unit is unresponsive, reach out to me and I will
att empt to close the loop with the account
manager. Be reasonable with the time allowed
for a unit to respond.
5. During your discussions with the unit; be
honest, be upfront and know your career
path/plan. Ask the unit about the specific
position you are expecting to fill. Ensure the
position described is the position you will be
filling. This is of particular importance with
command positions.
6. If a unit asks you to provide a screenshot
of your preferences, do not provide and reach
out to me at the conclusion of that interview.
If you experience such situations mentioned
above, please reach out to me for assistance.
The marketplace is an incredible opportunity to
co ntrol your career. Take advantage of this
opportunity. If you do not actively participate,
you will not have a voice in your next
assignment. We are here to support you and
answer any questions you may have.
Ensure your AIM2 resume is updated prior to
marketplace opening. The AIM2 resume is an
outstanding vehicle to provide additional
information about yourself and your career
accomplishments that are not reflected within
an OER. You are competing in an open
marketplace, so put your best self forward. You
never know who will read your resume, so
insure it is grammatically correct and free of
errors.
