The RC Junior Officer Responsibilities (Cont)

Billet application

– JOs can apply for up to three billets.

– JOs also have the ability to make comments on “Dream Sheets”. This should be restricted to comments you feel the program manager and the assignment authority should know in order to make an informed decision concerning your application.

– Comments are limited to 500 characters. A space ( ) is considered a character.

The RC Junior Officer Responsibilities (Cont) Where can I get training for the JOAPPLY system?

– All Senior Officers and those JOs that have applied for Command are familiar with the APPLY program. JOAPPLY uses the same program and pulls from the same data base.

– The only change is for the JOs. Using JOAPPLY restricts the data to non Command Junior Officer billets.

– Senior Officers are systemically prevented from applying for JO billets via the JOAPPLY process.

– With that understood, all Senior Officers and Junior Officers that have been involved in the Apply process, should be used as mentors for the JOAPPLY system.

All Junior Officers are however encouraged to apply for Command billets via the APPLY process.
