What is the duration of a QE appointment?
Appointments are at the sole discretion of the OTO. However, Auxiliary leadership and the QEs themselves provide much input to appointment decisions. The primary goal is to have active QEs who maintain skills. QEs may themselves request to cancel their appointment, or levels of activity may suggest to the OTO that an appointment should be cancelled. QEs that become elected to the District Bridge (RCO, VCO, DCO level) may choose to suspend their QE appointment without penalty for the duration of their office status. This gives the choice to the officer to provide more time to their office (or family or employer), or to remove potential conflicts. (For many, underway QE or coxswain activity is actually an office stress relief!). Suspending a QE appointment means that the minimum 20 hours/year underway requirement for QEs is also suspended.
