ME Rating Manpower Requirements Analysis Survey

Guest Post from RADM Sally Brice-O'Hara, Deputy Commandant for Operations. This was originally a comment to my Maritime Enforcement Specialists post yesterday. It is updated to promote participation in the ME Rating Manpower Requirements Analysis Survey.
--------------
16 December was certainly an historic moment for the Coast Guard. I was honored to be among this dedicated cadre of law enforcement and security professionals, and excited at what the future holds for the ME rating, and our Service. The ME Implementation Team has made great progress since ADM Allen's decision to stand up the Law Enforcement and Security Rating last June. Yet, while much has been done, much remains to be accomplished in order to meet the 01 January 2010 full implementation date.

The focus of effort now shifts away from the Implementation Team to you, the nearly 22,000 enlisted men and women performing law enforcement and security duties across the Coast Guard, in cutters, at stations, DSF units and sectors. We need your help in capturing the time you spend executing law enforcement and security tasks. Many of you will have already participated in the LETSGO II survey. We turn to you again, and ask a wider Coast Guard active and reserve audience, to take 30 or so minutes to complete the ME Rating Manpower Requirements Analysis Survey.

I am counting on Coast Guard leaders to spread the word, encourage widest participation, and carve out the time necessary from busy operational schedules. I can't overemphasize the importance of careful completion and accurate responses to the survey questions. Your diligence will enable us to clarify workload requirements and make the right decisions concerning the size of the ME rating and the distribution of ME personnel. Look for details in a forthcoming All Hands message from ADM Allen and please complete the survey as soon as possible.
