It is still in effect, I am currently in it at MLS Yaquina Bay,OR along with about 15 other BM's. Just make sure that you meet the req. in the COMDT Instruction, get a specific CO/OINC recomendation outlining the bullets in the PSP instruction. It also helps to call the detailers when they go into the engage phase of the AY 09 for career counsuling and ASK them how to give you guidance on what your career path looks like, they will give you honest feedback as 2 of them the WEST and EAST detailers are CWO Surfman.
This came from the AY 09 BM assignment sit rep 01.

If you have any other questions there are several Surfman on here that have great deal of knowlegde and guidance and should answer your question shortly. Hopes this helps. I'd be happy to answer any other questions you have, so post them up so others can get the info also in case they are looking to go into the PSP.
Also it took me several times to get in so keep working hard towards your goal. You might want to set up a profile so people know who they are giving info to. Are you a BM3,2,1 ?? Are you tour complete in AY 09 ?? Are you a Coxn on the MLB ??
BM1P Out!
