GSA Talking Points Unlike the legacy Individual Augment (IA) system, incorporation of GSAs into the detailing process has provided officers with significantly greater input and has reduced the potential [narrowed the window] for short-notice interruptions during shore duty tours often caused by IAs. Officers assigned to GSAs are provided the following benefits: Per the NAVADMIN, one may not be selected for another GSA or IA during their follow-on shore tour. (Essentially, this guarantees an uninterrupted shore assignment for GSA officers.) Guaranteed geographic location in a fleet concentration area (e.g. San Diego, Newport, D.C.) for the follow-on shore assignment. Priority, one-on-one slating with his/her Detailer. Officers assigned to a GSA will not have to re-enter the standard shore slating process unless they are competing for a nominative billet (e.g. OLA, NPS NSA/MBA curricula, etc.). (Officers will work directly with their Detailer for slating to their post-gsa shore tour.) Officers who complete a GSA will receive credit on all future slates equivalent in level to the attainment of a TAO or EOOW qualification to recognize the unique and critically important nature of GSAs. Officers with dependents may elect to keep their family in the current geographic location instead of moving them to the location of the ECRC supporting their GSA (if that location is different). For GSAs with a length greater than 6 months, officers with dependents are authorized to move their family anywhere INCONUS for the duration of the GSA, and upon return will be authorized another PCS move to their follow-on duty station/assignment. If an officer is assigned to a GSA as a non-volunteer, NPC will continue to search for a potential volunteer to fill the assigned GSA. For JOs already ashore, the probability of completing a GSA in the near term is decreased. The next GSA window would be post- DH. Legacy IAs at the LT/DH level are slowly decreasing. Although the majority of GSAs are in Afghanistan and Iraq, there are also GSAs in Germany, Bahrain, Qatar, HOA, Colombia, Liberia, and Kuwait, not to mention Arlington, Tampa, NYC, and Norfolk. The majority of SWOs who have completed a GSA/IA speak favorably about their assignment. Most indicate the tour was a positive life altering event that enabled them to contribute directly to the nation s war effort.
