Subject: Lateral Transfer Candidates in YG 03 and 04

Fellow Captains,

I need your help in identifying good lateral transfer candidates
for our corps. If you have seen the road show you know that we are
under manned in every pay grade except O-2, but still only slightly below
our overall end strength of about 2500. Through some dedicated effort
and programmatic thinking on the part of our P3 folks, we have managed
to get authority from N1 to increase our accessions overall, and
specifically to increase lateral transfers from 10 to 76. This is a
major accomplishment when you consider that overall the Navy is
downsizing.

The new goal of 76 lateral transfers is specifically targeted at
Year Groups 03 and 04, both Ensign Year Groups, where we are short
officers. Year Groups 00-02 are overmanned, so we can't take anybody in
those YGs. More senior year groups are generally not good fits for
lateral transfers. If you know of good candidates in year groups 03 and
04 please encourage them to transfer to the Supply Corps. If these
folks are attrites from another community (aviation, nuke power, etc.)
they need simply request to transfer to Supply in their attrition
package and it will be forwarded to us for review. If they are not
attrites they need to submit an application to the June lateral transfer
board.

Please don't view this as a "come on come all" type of thing. We
have standards and will be selective about who we let transfer over.
Your input on these individuals will of course make a difference.

Please pass this email around within our email networks. I will
also send this out through NKO.

The Supply Corps' responsibility to the Navy goes beyond ships, planes
and submarines ... we must provide that same outstanding logistics
support to the full range of combat capabilities Navy brings to the
joint warfighting environment.

Great gouge, thanks for posting it.

Great news Steve. As I am quite the ludite, maybe you can also post this in the Navy OCS forum or some such place as to inform a few others.

If I can put on my old salty recruiter hat on for a minute...Supply Corps jobs can be very challenging and intersting. It is often said that Supply guys are the business managers of the Navy. But there is more to it than that. Supply guys are into finance like bankers, initiate and manage huge defense contracts for eveything from aircraft and weapons to paint and potatos. The Supply Corps is responsible for the Navy's petroleum reserve and fuel pipelines. And don't forget the combat logistics guys in various units many of whom have seen more action in the war on terror than your typical naval officer. When it comes to transfer to civpac the Supply Corps Officers will be well prepared for a civilian career and great reserve opportunities.

Does this mean I might actually get a DH tour some day?

Hey old man river,

I thought you would be too old to get a DH ride. Seriously, I was looking at the detailers site the other day and there are a lot of Subs and MCMs looking for a good chop... If we don't tell them about your Death Row days *cough powerpoint*cough*golf cart*cough* you may have a chance at one of them on a split tour or a follow on sea tour.
