1. IPPS-A UPDATE, 15 JAN 25. From the IPPS-A Senior Enlisted Advisor: “I want to provide you with some updates, guidance, and resources to share with your units as they continue to navigate IPPS-A.” Key points from this update follows. See the entire update at the following link. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1355204
a. FROCKING VS. PROMOTIONS. It has come to my attention that, for whatever reason, Soldiers that are frocked to 1SG and/or SGM are being erroneously promoted in IPPS-A. Though commanders (COL/O6 and above) may authorize Soldiers in the rank of SFC to be frocked to 1SG, and the Sergeant Major Management Division (SMMD)/Human Resources Command (HRC) will generate a memorandum authorizing the frocking of MSGs to SGM, things like ID cards, personnel data systems, and pay/entitlements will not be changed to reflect the frocked rank. Please inform your S1s that no frocking actions should be completed as a promotion in IPPS-A. These erroneous promotions can negatively impact actual promotions for your Soldiers.
b. SOLDIER FOCUSED JOB AIDS. We recently developed or updated Job Aids designed to help Soldiers navigate specific scenarios in IPPS-A. Your leaders may find the following Self-Service Job Aids particularly helpful. Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) Recertification, Personnel Record Review (PRR), Personnel Records Update, and Racial Ethnic Designation Category (REDCAT).
c. SUBMITTING A PERMANENT CHANGE OF STATION (PCS) EVENT. While I know I touched upon the importance of accurate PCS absence submissions, I want to make sure I stress upon it once more. Please provide your PCSing Soldiers with the Submitting a PCS Event Quick Sheet.
d. IPPS-A USER MANUAL. We are working on the next version of the IPPS-A User Manual. As always, we welcome any contributions from Soldiers the field. Please inform your NCOs that the cutoff date to submit comments for the next version is 14 February 2025.
2. APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE FY25 (MAR), UNITED STATES ARMY RESERVE (USAR), NON-ACTIVE GUARD RESERVE, POSITION VACANCY BOARD (PVB) FOR TROOP PROGRAM UNIT (TPU) POSITIONS. The FY25 (MAR) PVB will convene on or about 24 Mar 25 to consider eligible USAR officers for promotion selection based on authorized vacant TPU positions. The board will recess on or about 28 Mar 25. Unit commanders must review the PVB applications for completeness and submit through the Major Subordinate Commands (MSC) to their respective Readiness Division (RD) via email no later than (NLT) 27 Jan 25. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1354911
