4. PRACTICE MENTAL AGILITY TO COPE WITH ADVERSITY AND THRIVE. From the Army Resiliency Directorate: Stress triggers thoughts in the mind and causes physical reactions in the body, such as fight or flight and shutdown. Mental agility enhances the ways you respond to stress and helps you to reason critically while keeping your mind open to multiple options. What’s more, mental agility allows you to make your thoughts and emotions work for you, not against you, during challenging tactical, physical or work-related events. You can quickly isolate a problem and identify solutions, enabling you to take the initiative and adjust to change. Here (at the following link) are five ways to practice mental agility so you can focus your attention during extreme or demanding circumstances and remain calm under pressure. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1240226

S1NET Message Summary - 22 Mar 23

1. IPPS-A UPDATE, 21 MAR 23.  From COL Rebecca Eggers, IPPS-A FMD: Some key points from this update follow.  View the entire update at the following link. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1238826 

     a. Personnel Asset Inventory (PAI). The IPPS-A Go-Live Validation PAI began 15 March and runs until 30 April 2023. Check out the IPPS-A Replays, a bite-sized demo video, on how to Validate Unit Level Accountability (Using the Readiness Roster). This action ensures all Soldiers are reflected on the Readiness Roster in their current duty status.

     b. Virtual Over the Shoulder Support (OTSS). While we will begin to stand down our In-Person OTSS, the Virtual OTSS being conducted by Team IPPS-A will extend beyond 31 March 2023 in order to continue transition support. If you have any questions or want to participate, please reach out on the MS Teams Channel in whichever group is applicable to you.

     c. PCA versus PCS Assignments. I would like to clear up some confusion related to orders for PCS assignments. Soldiers who came down on CAP Cycle or officers who received RFOs prior to/during brownout require legacy orders published by the MPDs. HRC is loading a PCA assignment for these Soldiers. This PCA assignment routes to the losing S1 Pool. There has been concern that S1s are approving PCS orders. If the assignment is loaded as a PCA, it is a non-funded order and the legacy paper order is the source document. The order published by IPPS-A should be ignored. HRC continues to publish guidance regarding frustrated assignments. Please see the latest guidance attached at the above link.

     d. IPPS-A Mobile App Status. The next mobile app update was submitted to TRADOC on 10 March 2023. The new update should be available in stores this month.

Please pass this information to your Soldiers, as they are the ones who regularly access TAM on their smartphones.

Pending Regional Level Application Software (RLAS) Group two-week Annual Training (AT) assignments starting after 1 April 2023 have been removed in IPPS-A from the accounts of USAR Soldiers.

The Transfer of Education Benefit Process

A Transfer of Education Benefit (TEB) request is an incentive for continued service offered to Service Members who qualify for the Post-9/11 GI Bill.

 

HOW DO YOU QUALIFY?

1. Must be eligible for Post 9/11 Chapter 33. If you are not sure of your eligibility, you can contact us to find out or see the attached flyer.
2. Be currently serving and have more than 6 years of total service completed.
3. You must not be flagged for adverse action, ACFT/ABCP failure, or as an unsatisfactory participant.
4. You must agree to a 4-year service obligation. This obligation runs concurrent with your contract. If you have more than 4 years remaining before you ETS/MRD/RET/MSO you will not need to extend, but if you have less than 4 years remaining on the day you apply, you will have to extend.

• When your request to transfer is approved, you will incur an Obligation End Date (OED).  
• This OED must be monitored. You cannot voluntarily leave the military service before that date! If you do, the transfer is revoked for your dependents and any funds paid to them will be recouped by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

 

ARE YOUR CHILDREN ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE BENEFITS?

You can transfer education benefits to children ages 21 and 22 only if they are dependent students. The student status determination must be made at a military ID card issuing facility.

• Dependent students are full-time students who are dependent on you for more than 50% of their support. Full-time student status cannot be determined more than 90 days prior to your child's twenty-first birthday. If student status is not determined in time, all DoD benefits will be terminated in DEERS. Therefore, you will not be able to request a transfer of education benefits on the TEB page. However, student status determination can be added after benefits are terminated in DEERS, which triggers eligibility on the TEB page.

• Children who are dependent students past the age of 22 with transfer months assigned are still displayed as eligible, because they can continue to use their already transferred benefit up until 26 years of age. However, students over the age of 22 are no longer eligible to receive additional transferred benefits.  In addition to benefit months, your children are eligible for a monthly living stipend and a books and supplies stipend whether you are serving on Active Duty or not.
• If your children are not 18 but have attained a secondary school diploma (or equivalency certificate), they can use the transferred benefits. This includes some vocational or technical training programs, graduate and undergraduate training, as well as on-the-job training, apprenticeships, or non-college degree programs.

 

ADJUSTMENTS/MODIFICATIONS

• You can modify and/or revoke months for any dependents you originally transferred month of benefits to – even after you separate from service on https://milconnect.dmdc.osd.mil/milconnect/.

• IMPORTANT! You must be currently serving to designate months of benefit to a "new" dependent.

• You will need a DS LOG-ON to enter the site when you separate. Please create one!

 

HOW DO I APPLY?

• Contact the VA at 1-888-GIBILL-1 to determine the number of months of benefits you have remaining.
• If you have less than four years of service remaining, complete extension.
• Go https://milconnect.dmdc.osd.mil/milconnect/ and complete your TEB application. Please make sure your contact information is correct on DMDC.
• Access your Military email and follow email instructions.
• When ready to attend school, your approved dependent(s) apply at:  www.va.gov to receive their approval letter or Certificate of Eligibility (COE). The student will give this letter to the VA Certifying Official at the school. The student will need to certify enrollment each month via text message, email or calling, 1-888-GIBILL1 or (1-888-442-4551).

S1NET Message Summary - 16 Mar 23

1. ARMY DIRECTIVE 2023-08, ARMY BODY FAT ASSESSMENT EXEMPTION FOR ARMY COMBAT FITNESS TEST SCORE, 15 MAR 23. This directive implements immediate changes to the Army Body Composition Program (ABCP) that address findings from the scientific assessment of the program. It provides incentives to Soldiers to maintain physical readiness and establishes the process for body fat assessment exemptions when warranted. Effective immediately, all Soldiers who score 540 points or more on the record Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT), with a minimum of 80 points in each event, are exempt from the Army body fat circumference-based tape assessment. This policy applies to Soldiers who complete all six primary events of the ACFT; no alternate events are authorized. The exemption is not retroactive. Visit the following link for additional information. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1237438

2. FY23 MSG EVALUATION BOARD ELIGIBILITY LIST (AC/USAR AGR/IMA). From HRC Enlisted Promotions:  The FY23 MSG Evaluation Board Eligibility List has been released on the HRC website, and attached at the following link on S1NET. This list contains the identified MSGs who, as of 1 February, meet the Eligibility Requirements of the Evaluation Board. If a Soldier does not see his or her name on the list and does not have a My Board File (MBF), but has determined that he or she should have an MBF, the Soldier must contact Senior Enlisted Promotions to be added to the board. Failing to do so will not result in a later reconsideration. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1237287

3. AMHRR FILING OF AWARD CERTIFICATES. From HRC Army Soldier Records Branch: The HRC, Awards and Decorations Branch has revised procedural guidance outlined in AR 600-8-22 as it pertains to authoritative source document requirements filed in the Soldier’s Army Military Human Resource Record (AHMRR).  With the release of IPPS-A R3 on 17 January 2023 as the authoritative source for AAM, ARCOM, MSM, and LOM’s the Army must transition its filing processes for those awards that were not subsumed by IPPS-A. Effective 17 January 2023, award certificates are no longer authorized for filing in the member's AMHRR file/folder. DA 638s are now filed as the actual award received, (e.g., DA 638 for an AAM is filed as an AAM, ARCOM as an ARCOM, etc...). In addition, if an award certificate is a standalone document with a date prior to 17 January 2023, the certificate will be processed as an award document. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/message/1017169

4. RE-CERTIFYING A DECLINATION OF SGLI COVERAGE. SGLI Online Enrollment System (SOES) is the system of record for all Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance (SGLI) updates.  Therefore, Soldiers must use SOES for all requests to change, cancel, restore, or re-certify SGLI coverage.  As of December 2022, SOES has the capability to recertify $0 coverage within the program and a SGLV 8286 is no longer used for this action.  If a Soldier has a problem with their SOES access, they must call the DMDC Support Center for technical support (1-800-477-8227). https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-823724

5. HRC - G1/S1 TOUCHPOINT AS OF 20230315.
