One interviewing officer of the Final Selection Board.
The FSB personal interview, like the SSB's, is a conversation built on the candidate's own form, looking for officer-like qualities in how they have lived so far — with the Coast Guard's work at sea and on the coast as the backdrop.

Who you face
IO
Interviewing Officer
A senior Coast Guard officer. Friendly and unhurried but relentless on specifics; asks several related questions in one breath and expects them answered in order.
What the board assess
4 things the board is weighing
Planning and organising
Effective intelligence, reasoning ability, organising ability, power of expression — answering a rapid-fire set in order is exactly this.
Social adjustment
Social adaptability, cooperation, sense of responsibility — how family, friends and teams come across.
Social effectiveness
Initiative, self-confidence, speed of decision, ability to influence the group, liveliness.
Dynamic
Determination, courage, stamina — what was stuck at, and what was done when it got hard.
The Coast Guard does not publish its rubric. Its boards look for officer-like qualities much as the SSB does, so the SSB's four factors are used here.
