1. S1NET TRANSITION TO SHAREPOINT. As we have been advised that Army Career Tracker (ACT) will sunset on or about 30 Sep 25, S1NET is gradually being transitioned to SharePoint, with a separate email group for S1NET Messages (see note at the end of this S1NET Message). During this transition, links in the messages could be either on ACT or SharePoint. The S1NET SharePoint site is public, and there is no membership required for army.mil accounts. However, non-army.mil users (health.mil, mail.mil, etc.) must obtain DoD Guest Access to the Army 365 Hub before they can obtain access to the content on the SharePoint site. The guide at the following link on ACT provides instructions for those non-army.mil tenants to obtain the DoD Guest Access. https://actnow.army.mil/forums/html/topic?id=3bc5faef-b06a-497d-bd4b-4e1f89db90a5
