1. IPPS-A UPDATE: YMAV/SABIR, PREFERRED EMAILS, SUBMITTING PCS EVENT AND RESOURCES. From COL Rebekah Lust, IPPS-A FMD Director: This January marked two years since IPPS-A Release 3 launched to more than 1.1 million Soldiers across all components. I want to thank our HR Pros and Soldiers in the field. We could not have done this without you! I’m looking forward to having this same level of engagement and enthusiasm for IPPS-A throughout 2025. Some key updates and guidance follow: https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1358249
a. YEAR-MONTH AVAILABLE TO MOVE (YMAV)/SERVICE FOR ANALYTICS AND BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE REPORTS (SABIR) UPDATE. COMING SOON: IPPS-A will be enhancing SABIR! The assignment end date will still be displayed, but will no longer be used as a loss predictor; instead, YMAV data will be incorporated into the SABIR strength projection logic. A Soldier will be projected as a loss in the month their YMAV will expire.
b. VALIDATING PREFERRED METHOD OF CONTACT IN IPPS-A. On 25 January 2025, IPPS-A began providing Army Training Requirements and Resources System (ATRRS) with the email addresses that Soldiers have identified as their primary or “preferred” addresses in IPPS-A. The email address that ATRRS uses is another avenue for communicating important school notifications. If you have not been receiving emails from ATRRS and/or would like to update the preferences for what email address ATRRS has on file, please log into IPPS-A and make sure the right email is entered.
c. SUBMITTING A PERMANENT CHANGE OF STATION (PCS) EVENT. I mentioned in my last message the importance of properly submitting PCS absences. Please remember that, using IPPS-A’s Pay-Absence-Incent-Ded (PAID) tile, you must select “Absence Type, 05-PCS Events” and choose the appropriate options to complete the request for your PCS absence. If “05-PCS Events” is not selected, automation to support arrivals will not function as designed, causing Failure to Gain (FTG) numbers to increase and issues with pay.
d. We are still holding virtual Over the Shoulder Support (OTSS) and Reinforcement Training. Upcoming topics include Queries, Enterprise Learning Management (ELM), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), and On/Off boarding. For dates and times, please visit the link provided above.
2. JANUARY 2025 CHANGE OF MISSION NEWSLETTER. Change of Mission is the Army's retirement planning newsletter for Soldiers in all components with 17+ years of service. Recently Retired Soldiers consistently say they underestimated the time and effort needed to plan and execute their retirement transition. The information in Change of Mission and the 2025 U.S. Army Retirement Planning Guide can help you navigate this unfamiliar terrain. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1358245
3. ARMY RESERVE PAY MESSAGE 25-01, OPERATIONAL DEPLOYMENT PAY (ODP). The purpose of this message is to provide guidance for processing ODP for the Army Reserve. ODP is payable to Soldiers deployed away from their permanent duty station (PDS)/home station on an approved deployment lasting over 60 consecutive days. The payment of ODP is effective 1 October 2024 provided the Soldier meets all eligibility requirements. Visit the following link for the entire message. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1354173
