The 2015 Transfer Season is in full swing, and similar to years past, an automated method is being used to move CGOne Standard User accounts from one unit to another. This process, which reconfigures user accounts for use at a new location, does not move user data (such as files maintained on local C4IT resources) but does archive them for a specific time. Because of this, transferring personnel are responsible for performing a number of tasks on their own before departing their unit. More information about end user responsibilities to ensure a smooth and successful transfer of IT resources is on the Transfer Tech Tips site.
The automated portion of a PCS Transfer is triggered by the transferring member submitting a CGFIXIT ticket at least two weeks before departing their unit. Once a ticket is submitted, the User Transfer Service (UTS) system completes the account transfer process. If a ticket is not submitted in CGFIXIT before departing your old unit, you will experience delays at your new unit.
Effective and successful transfers are an essential part of Coast Guard operations and affect every member at some point in their career. The Transfer Season team is consistently finding ways to simplify and improve the technical portion of this important process. After you arrive at your new unit, you might receive an email with a survey about the technical portion of your transfer experience. You are encouraged to participate and share your candid feedback so that future transfer seasons may be improved.
