15 SEP 2007.
2. THE ORL IS A WORKFORCE PLANNING TOOL DESIGNED TO ENLIST SKILLED
AND QUALIFIED PRIOR SERVICE MEMBERS TO FILL VACANCIES IN SPECIFIC
RATINGS.  IN ADDITION TO THE RATINGS SPECIFIED IN REF A, PERSONNEL
ARE ALSO BEING SOUGHT TO FILL VACANCIES AT THE IS3 LEVEL.
3. APPLICANT QUALIFICATION FOR ENLISTMENT WILL BE REVIEWED BY THE
APPROPRIATE ASSIGNMENT OFFICER IN CONSULTATION WITH THE RATING
FORCE MASTER CHIEF.  FINAL APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL OF AN APPLICANTS
ENLISTMENT VIA THE ORL WILL BE MADE BY CGPC.  FURTHER GUIDANCE
CONCERNING ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR ENLISTMENT
UNDER THE ORL ARE CONTAINED IN REF B.
4. THE ORL RECRUITING FOCUS IS TARGETED TO THE ABOVE RATING AS WELL
AS THE RATINGS LISTED IN REF A.  HOWEVER, ENLISTMENTS IN RATINGS

PETTY OFFICERS DIRECTLY INTO THE COAST GUARD WILL HAVE A MINIMAL
IMPACT ON ADVANCEMENTS.
