3. The information we provide is meant to generate a discussion between OPM and 
the officer corps and assist officers in the field with becoming more aware of 
the most current trends and policies affecting their assignments, promotions, 
and evaluations.
4. In an effort to meet the volume of officers requesting Post Graduate counseling 
(mandatory for Junior Officers within their first two tours), OPM-4 will offer 
two virtual road shows as well as post a podcast recording of the presentation 
on the OPM-4 Portal Page in the spring of 2020. Mandatory counseling can be 
accomplished in one of three ways: attend the virtual roadshow, listen to the 
podcast, or thru completion of individual member counseling requests scheduled 
thru HQS-SMB-CGPSC-OPM-4@uscg.mil. Commanding Officers shall note the method by 
which mandatory counseling was attained in the Command endorsement section of 
the Post Graduate Panel Submission in Direct Access. Aviators within their first 
two tours applying to Aeronautical Engineer Officer Training and/or Flight Safety 
Officer are not required to complete counseling with OPM-4, but are still welcome 
to request counseling if desired.
5. To sign up for a virtual road show please email the OPM-4 inbox at 
HQS-SMB-CGPSC-OPM-4@uscg.mil with the subject “VIRTUAL ROAD SHOW” and the 
requested presentation date. We recommend commands encourage their 
officers attending virtual roadshows to do so from one consolidated location. 
This should generate robust wardroom conversation and maximize call in 
opportunities for others. 
6. Call in instructions and additional information will be posted prior to 
each virtual road show on the Career Management Branch (OPM-4) 
portal page: https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/units/psc/psc-opm/opm-4/SitePages/Home.aspx.
