C.O.T.

[CallOfDuty]

  Hey there everyone..........just wondering..has anyone here had any experience with a C.O.T.?( compulsory occupational transfer) 
  Did they basically sit you down and say, " here you go, heres your options, pick one..."  , or did you have any say in the 3 trades you wanted to select?
  Also, if you go into a purple trade, are you allowed to pick your element....or is that even an option in a COT?
  Thanks guys.
C.O.D.

Buddy of mine failed the Basic AES Op course we were on.  When he got back to his home base, the BPSO sat him down and told him " here are your options, pick one".

as for the DEU in a COT (or any ot for that matter) it is CFRG's policy to leave you in the same deu you are in, unless of course  the gaining trade is a single DEU Trade you will be re-assigned. an Example I was a NavComm, now Arty, I switched to DEU Land, had I gone NavComm to say med tech I would've retained Naval DEU. Hope it helps.

If the C.O.T. is due to a merger of the trade (example: Admin/Fin Clks to RMS), you will be asked to sign a form accepting the newly formed trade or given the option of remustering to a new MOS. As for changing DEU, there is no harm in making the request during the process.

Remaining in the same DEU for a purple trade is applicable for CFR instances as well.

However the option to change may be offered if below PML within that element.
