S1NET Message Summary - 7/31/2025

By Army National Guard July 31, 2025

1. EXCEPTION TO POLICY (ETP) TO ALLOW CERTAIN SOLDIERS WITH RELIGIOUS ACCOMMODATIONS OR MEDICAL DIETARY RESTRICTIONS TO BE EXEMPT FROM ESSENTIAL STATION MESSING (ESM). From Army G-1 Compensation and Entitlements: The Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (OSD) recently approved an ETP to DoDD 1418.05 (Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAS) Policy) to allow commanders to approve Soldiers to mess separately for religious and/or medical dietary restrictions. Effective immediately, commanders may approve a Soldier to mess separately for religious accommodations and/or medical dietary restrictions when the dietary needs of those Soldiers cannot be accommodated by an appropriated fund government dining facility. The OSD ETP shall only apply to Soldiers with an approved religious accommodation for that Soldier's dietary practices (in accordance with AR 600-20, Army Command Policy) or a special diet as prescribed and/or verified by a DoD health care provider. The requirement in AR 637-1 for Soldiers to apply and be approved for missed meals for three (3) consecutive months before being approved to mess separately does not apply. Exempted Soldiers are authorized to receive BAS without a mandatory pay account collection for ESM. Any Soldier in receipt of BAS and not subject to mandatory pay account collection, including Soldiers who receive BAS because of this ETP, shall pay the standard meal rate for any meals consumed at a government mess. Regardless of an ESM exemption, the Soldier would not qualify for BAS II because a government mess is still available to the Soldier. HQDA, DCS G-1 is updating AR 637-1 to reflect this OSD ETP, but general policy questions regarding this message may be submitted to HQDA, DCS, G-1 (Compensation and Entitlements Division). https://armyeitaas.sharepoint-mil.us/teams/S1NETHomePage/Lists/Compensation%20and%20Entitlements/Exception%20to%20Policy%20(ETP)%20to%20Allow%20Certain%20Soldiers%20with%20Religious%20Accommodations%20or%20Medical%20Dietary%20Restrictions%20to%20be%20Exempt%20from%20Essential%20Station%20Messing%20(ESM)

2. IPPS-A UPDATE (CSM/SGM SENDS): PCS ABSENCE ENHANCEMENT, SENSITIVE ACTIONS PAR, AND UPDATING PERSONAL INFORMATION. From SGM Paul J. Smith, SEA, IPPS-A FMD: Key points in this update follow. See the entire update on the IPPS-A Home Page at the following link. https://ipps-a.army.mil/Resources/News/Article/4244238/ipps-a-update-csmsgm-sends-pcs-absence-enhancement-sensitive-actions-par-and-up/

a. PERMANENT CHANGE OF STATION (PCS) ABSENCE ENHANCEMENT. Please inform your Leaders that we recently released a system enhancement that simplifies managing PCS absences. Previously, if a PCS absence was approved but the associated assignment was later canceled, records could become "broken," with no way to link it to a new assignment. Now, Members can simply update their assignment IDs. This means PCS absence records can be properly relinked and maintained, streamlining the process, and reducing administrative burdens.

b. SENSITIVE ACTIONS PERSONNEL ACTION REQUEST (PAR). I have received feedback indicating Members in the field are ready (and already attempting) to use the Sensitive Actions PAR. Please inform your Leaders that this PAR is not ready to use. We are still working to ensure the information that goes into these PARs is properly protected. For the time being, please have them use the legacy email process.

c. UPDATING PERSONAL INFORMATION. Soldier contact information will be available in the Leader's Dashboard through an enhancement planned for the end of July. Please make sure your Soldiers confirm/update their personal information in IPPS-A to ensure it is accurately reflected in this new tool. Updating their personal information (like how to contact them) can help them get assistance from their sponsors when PCSing this season.
