Per ALCOAST 433/15, Direct Access will be offline from 19 December 2015 through 3 January 2016. As a result, there will be no user access to Direct Access. Besides pay and personnel transactions (PCS, leave requests, etc), this impacts issuance/receipt of Class "C" Schools orders.
With this outage, the Training Quota Management Center (TQC) will not be able to process any electronic training requests (ETR), generate new orders, cancel existing orders, or complete substitutions for Class "C" Schools during this time frame. In order to prepare for this outage, TQC will have issued orders for courses convening through 02 February 2016. This will be done prior to the DA shutdown on 19 December 2015.
TQC can still receive cancellations and substitutions during this outage. This can be done with the Admin OIX system: CMD-SMB-CG-TQC. Templates can be found on TQC's web site or CGPortal: http://www.uscg.mil/hq/tqc/message.asp or https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/units/forcecom/tqc/Pages/Message-Templates.aspx. Contact the appropriate TQC scheduler with any questions or concerns. A list of schedulers can also be found on TQC's web site.
TQC's training advisory can be accessed via their "What's New" web page.
