S1NET Message Summary - 11/14/2024

1. THE ADJUTANT GENERAL (TAG) SENDS- NOVEMBER. From BG Adam D. Smith, The Adjutant General of the Army: “Teammates, The new MyBoardFile is fully functional and available for Soldiers to view at any time. Make sure you check with your S1 for details and guidance. To find out more about ASBS 2.0, please visit the S1NET thread (at following link). Additionally, The United States Army Transition Assistance Program (TAP) recently replaced TAPXXI with the new Transitioning Servicemembers and Counselors Reporting System (TSCRS). TSCRS enhances the transition experience for Service Members by offering 24/7 self-service and online capabilities…. Your feedback is not only important to deploying these new systems, but to help Commanders, HR Professionals, and Soldiers. Stay connected through the S1NET, Teams Channels, and with POCs listed at the following link.”  Some key points from this TAG Sends are provided below.  See the entire message at the following link. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1348328

     a. KEY POINTS FROM THE TAG SGM: Recently, there been an uptick in questions about the SkillBridge / Career Skills Program (CSP). With the number one question being, “What is the difference between SkillBridge and the Career Skills Program?” Visit the above link for the answer.

     b. IPPS-A BAH RECERTIFICATION (DA 5960): You can now recertify Soldiers’ BAH (DA 5960) in the Pay-Absences-Incentive Pay-Deduction (PAID) tile in IPPS-A. Once the action is approved, IPPS-A will send the DA 5960 directly to the Soldier’s Army Military Human Resource Record (AMHRR) in iPERMS.

     c. UNAUTHORIZED VIEWING OF SOLDIER’S RECORDS: Unauthorized disclosure of PII or viewing a Soldier's AMHRR for other than official duty purposes is in violation of the Privacy Act which may subject users to civil and criminal penalties. Soldiers that suspect unauthorized use or viewing of their records can request an investigation through their chain of command or local Inspector General.

     d. IPPS-A DRIVE THE CHANGE: The IPPS-A Team’s most recent Drive the Change (DTC) session featured two key updates. (1) Data quality/correctness dashboard provides functionality that identifies problematic data related to seniority dates, and highlights the personnel records with non-conforming dates, all of which can impact pay;  (2) Permanent Change of Assignment (PCA)/Permanent Change of Station (PCS) Prompt improves Enhanced Unit Commander’s Financial Report (eUCFR) accuracy and notifies HR Pros to send newly created assignment orders to their Army Military Pay Office (AMPO), to include those inter-post moves.

     e. AVIATOR ASED VALIDATION IN IPPS-A: Some Aviators are missing Aviation Service Entry Date (ASED) in IPPS-A. Self-review/validation with Unit S1 can resolve the issue immediately. Blank ASEDs could lead to missed 12/18-year TOFDC gate audits with follow-on effects with pay. Follow the instructions at the above link to view your ASED.

     f. TRANSITIONING SOLDIERS AND COUNSELORS REPORTING SYSTEM (TSCRS): Commanders can now track transitioning Soldiers progress in the Transitioning Servicemember and Counselor Reporting System (TSCRS).

     g. ROTATIONAL DEPLOYMENT EXTENSION- ASSIGNMENT INCENTIVE PAY FOR REGULAR ARMY ENLISTED SOLDIERS: MILPER 24-450 was released earlier this month to outline requirements for Rotational Deployment Extension- Assignment Incentive Pay (RDE-AIP) for initial term RA Soldiers serving within units identified for rotational deployment. 

     h. OPERATIONAL DEPLOYMENT PAY INITIATIVE- DTAS AND TPS TRAINING RESOURCES: On 7 November 2024, the HRC TAGD Soldier Programs Branch conducted DTAS and TPS training. The recorded training and slides are attached (at the above link) for reference and training of your S1/G1/J1 teams. It is imperative that deployed and rotational units and/or units preparing to deploy or go on an operational deployment get their accesses established for these systems. Per ALARACT 088-2024 (para 5.B.3), Operational Deployment Pay (ODP), a key element of ODP eligibility is for Soldiers to be “properly accounted for in the Deployed Theater Accountability System in accordance with Reference 1.D.”
