6. Recently published Military Personnel (MILPER) messages and Military Pay Messages. 

     a. MILPER MESSAGE 23-447, 2ND QTR, FY24 VOLUNTARY TRANSFER INCENTIVE PROGRAM (VTIP) FOR ARMY COMPETITIVE CATEGORY (ACC) OFFICERS, ISSUED: [10/25/2023 9:04:30 AM]. This message provides procedural guidance for the 2nd QTR, Fiscal Year (FY)24 Voluntary Transfer Incentive Program (VTIP). Army Competitive Category (ACC) officers may submit a DA Form 4187 requesting Branch or Functional Area (FA) transfer from 25 October 2023 – 30 November 2023. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1287564

     b. MILPER MESSAGE 23-448, AMENDMENT TO MILPER MESSAGE 23-383, 19 SEPTEMBER 2023, SUBJECT: RELEASE OF THE CALENDAR YEAR 2024 (CY24) ARMY MEDICAL DEPARTMENT (AMEDD) STRATEGIC BILLET (SB) SLATE, ISSUED: [10/25/2023 9:40:36 AM]. See the message for changes. https://www.hrc.army.mil/Milper/23-448

     c. MILPER MESSAGE 23-449, EVALUATION REPORTING SYSTEM INVALID REPORT CREATION AND SUBMISSION PRACTICES – “CHURNING REPORTS”, ISSUED: [10/25/2023 9:48:55 AM]. The purpose of this message is to detail an unacceptable evaluation practice that some rating officials are executing within the Evaluation Entry System. The unacceptable practice, referred to as “churning,” involves generating multiple, and usually short, evaluation reports with no true event-driven requirement for the type of evaluation report submitted (e.g., Change of Rater with no alteration to rating chain, Change of Duty with no change to assigned duty, and Retirement with no approved retirement request). This unacceptable practice circumvents Army Regulation (AR) 623-3, and the authorized reasons for an evaluation submission without a valid change in status. This is contrary to the spirit and intent of the regulation and undermines the selection process for all rated Soldiers. This practice must be discontinued. The Army expects and requires leaders to be aware of policies and procedures and to apply and uphold established, expected standards without bias. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1287585

S1NET Special Message - PCS Move Impacts in FY23

From HRC: 

1. To minimize the year-end impacts to FY23 budget obligations Military Personnel Divisions will pause new orders publications until 1 October 2023. 

2. Expedited transfers and compassionate assignments will continue to be executed, as will confinement orders, IET orders, separation orders and amendments to PCS orders issued prior to 15 August 2023.

3. No cost moves will continue to be executed.

4. Soldiers with orders originally published between and including 15 August 2023 and 30 September 2023, with report dates of 1 November 2023 and beyond will have their orders deleted/revoked and republished provided they have not already initiated HHG movement (i.e. packing has not started).

5. Soldiers without amendments to their base orders, will have their orders deleted and republished in IPPS-A after 1 October 2023. No action is required of the Soldier. MPDs will only be required to execute final approval in IPPS-A.

6. For Soldiers whose orders were previous amended, a top of the system revocation will be executed and the assignment reinitiated. Upon notification of the assignment re-initiation in IPPS-A, these Soldiers will then be required to complete a new Member Election in IPPS-A before their new orders can be completed.

7. Each impacted Soldier will receive a direct email notifying them of the situation (examples attached at the above link).

8. Soldiers with individual circumstances should be directed to their HRC talent manager.

9. Soldiers’ units of assignments and report dates will not be changed; however, if this situation causes a hardship due to HHG scheduling, especially for Soldiers with report dates in November 2023, installation MPD have the authority to adjust report dates up to 30 days and anything beyond the 30 days, HRC talent managers will have discretion to adjust report dates.

10. If a Soldier is on a housing wait list at their gaining unit, their place will not change.

11. If a Soldier is on a CYS childcare wait list, their place will not change.

12. If a Soldier has previously approved EFMP family members, their status will not change.

13. If a Soldier already has their HHG Shipment scheduled, but packing has not started:

      a. For Solders who did not have an amendment to their base order, their shipment date will not have to be canceled, because their order number will not change. The Soldier will simply need to provide a copy of the new orders, with the new publish order date and FY24 fund cite, dated after 1 October 2023 to the transportation office.

     b. For Soldiers who previously had an amendment and whose orders had to be revoked, HHG Shipments will be canceled and reinitiated by the transportation office. Every effort will be made to secure the same shipment dates, but in some cases the exact date may not be possible. Soldiers will need to provide a copy of their new orders, with FY24 fund cite, dated after 1 October 2023 to the transportation office.

DCSA News Article on Phishing Emails

FSA:

Please see the below for a warning from DCSA released on 5 June 2023, FYSA. For further information please refer to the DCSA news website at https://www.dcsa.mil/about/news/. This email is being provided for your situational awareness and for dissemination to the level you feel is appropriate within your commands.

Phishing Attempt

JUNE 5, 2023

DCSA has been made aware of a sophisticated malicious phishing email circulating which references the collection of an "SF-86_F" or an SF-86 (an example of the email is below).  Please do not engage with this email and advise your staff not to engage with it; you should report it to your security office or cyber security team and delete it immediately if received.  This email is NOT coming from DCSA, or any other vetting or Personnel Security entity in the U.S. Government or Department of Defense. IT professionals have confirmed that the email is malicious in nature.
 
In some cases, the link is associated with an individual who is listed in the DOD phone directory and in a few cases, that individual has turned out to be an actual security manager.  This email has a fairly high ability to potentially trick individuals because they may not know that an SF-86F does not exist, and because the site that it leads to as well as the email look legitimate enough to get people to act, especially with the quick suspense date in the subject line.

 
Email Example:

ALCON,

Due to a number of high profile spillages and intelligence leaks, all federal and DoD Contract employees are required to view the "DoD Reporting and You" powerpoint training and respond to a six question self-report addendum to their SF-86.

If your response is "yes" to any of the addendum questions, you will need to fill out a SF86_F form for each affirmative answer.

The training and addendum questionnaire can be found here: SF-86 Addendum (this is where the malicious link generally is)

1. IPPS-A UPDATE: LATENCY, CANCELED ABSENCE JOB AID, MILPER 23-164, ASSIGNMENT HISTORY AND BASE NAME CHANGES, EMAIL ADDRESSES, DUTY STATUS UPDATES, AUTO-DEPROVISIONING, KNOWN ISSUES, AND MPD SMARTBOOK. From COL Rebecca Eggers, IPPS-A FMD:  “Teammates, as we hit the 5-month mark post Go-Live, I can sense that units are beginning to settle into some routines using IPPS-A. While there is still more work to do, the focused efforts on completing the separations backlogs, resolving the frustrated assignments, and working through CRM tickets are all helping to stabilize the system from a functional standpoint.” Some key points in this update below.  See the entire update at the following link.  milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1253972

     a. IPPS-A integrates many of our business processes. And connects the three components in a way that makes us dependent on each other to understand the implications of our actions. Please use care when working through actions that have direct ties to pay and benefits — notably temporary assignments coming from the various orders writing systems. As we continue to adopt IPPS-A as the system of record, we need to continue to move forward. We need to move away from comparing what we could do in our legacy systems to how we must do them in IPPS-A. Our legacy systems were not integrated. An action on a Soldier often had little to no impact on any other Soldier or any other action for that Soldier. This is simply not the case with IPPS-A. Actions have pay and benefits impacts and even the act of simply changing an arrival or departure date has impacts on those Soldiers filling that same position before or after. As you become more familiar with simply completing actions within the system, I challenge you to then understand how the pieces all fit together. Until we work through all the remaining assignments and get to the point where we aren’t working actions that previously happened, we will not truly reap the benefits of what IPPS-A has to offer. We will get there together. I appreciate all you are doing to learn, support our Soldiers and provide feedback to make the system even better.

     b. System Latency. The latency seen over the past weeks has largely been resolved. Oracle and the IPPS-A infrastructure team continue to make refinements to the system. 

     c. Canceled Absences. This job aid assists in updating a canceled absence request for resubmission. In IPPS-A, Members cannot cancel an absence request and submit a new request for the same or overlapping ‘To’ and ‘From’ dates.

     d. MILPER 23-164: Soldier Actions Initiated Outside of IPPS-A. HRC recently published MILPER 23-164 hrc.army.mil/Milper/23-164. This MILPER provides a list of Soldier actions initiated outside of IPPS-A and their submission procedures, as well as a list of actions to submit via Personnel Action Request (PAR) in IPPS-A and their corresponding Unit Distribution List (UDL).

     e. Assignment History and Base Name Changes. The new base names are populating the location tables in IPPS-A. Forts Barfoot, Novosel, Liberty and Gregg-Adams have all been added as locations and Soldiers’ current assignments are populating with the new names.

     f. Email Addresses. IPPS-A receives email addresses from DMDC. Users also have the option to add personal email addresses to IPPS-A. IPPS-A requires a business email. If you are a user that uses something other than your army.mil email address, you must ensure that you have set that email to your business email.

     g. Duty Status Updates. We are aware of an issue where Soldiers’ duty statuses do not revert to PDY after events such as absence, TDY, hospitalization, etc. On 11 May, we did a fix to resolve some of the duty status issues, some issues were not resolved. The IPPS-A team is doing further analysis to resolve the issue completely.

     h. Access De-Provisioning Linked to Job Data Updates. Last week, we enabled functionality to remove elevated access if a member executed a PCS or PCA. When users make changes to a Soldier’s job data in “correct history” mode, PeopleSoft adjusts all history after the correction is made. This can trigger the system to record the change as a PCS/PCA which terminates the user’s elevated access. A change request is currently working to adjust this logic to keep elevated users from reverting to self-service when job data is changed. The current release date is 25 May 23.    

     i. Auto De-Provisioning of POIs. As a reminder, elevated users must access IPPS-A at least every 60 days or their access will be reverted to self-service.

     j. Known Issues & Release Updates. For updates on IPPS-A issues pertaining to promotions, benefits, assignments, onboarding, and more, please reference ipps-a.army.mil/ipps-a-known-issues.

     k. Military Personnel Division (MPD) SmartBook. Attached at the link above is a starter template for an MPD SmartBook. We encourage MPDs to utilize the Word document version to continue to add to the SmartBook as they see opportunities to do so and share with their teammates.

     l. Resources. We have a lot of great IPPS-A products created by units located on S1Net. On the left-hand side of the IPPS-A landing page, find the SUB-TOPICS column, and click “IPPS-A SOPs/Tools” underneath that. Please feel free to “donate” any IPPS-A SOPs and products that have worked for you team!

2. BASIC NEEDS ALLOWANCE (BNA) TRAINING, FY23. From the Army  G-9: Beginning on 7 June 2023, HQDA, DCS, G-9 will conduct BNA training via MS Teams. Unit commanders, installation Human Resource Offices (HROs), and S1 personnel will learn about their roles and responsibilities in the BNA program to include screening, notifying, counseling, and certifying Soldiers for BNA. Commanders, division staff officers, and Financial Readiness Centers will ensure that personnel in positions to assist, process, or certify applications have completed initial BNA training. Visit the following link for additional information and a full schedule of training times to accommodate CONUS and OCONUS locations.

4. IPPS-A ITEMS.

     a. JOB AID: CANCELED ABSENCE. This Job Aid assists in updating a canceled absence request for resubmission. In IPPS-A, Members cannot cancel an absence request and submit a new request for the same or overlapping ‘To’ and ‘From’ dates.
milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1253071

5. IPPS-A QUESTIONS. (Please assist if you can.)

     a. DEPARTING ERROR. When departing a Soldier in IPPS-A, has anyone encountered the message "military comp category mapping validation failed"? If so, how did you go about fixing it so you can depart the member?
milsuite.mil/book/message/1024761#1024761

     b. HOW TO REMOVE HISTORICAL AIM KSBS FROM STP? Does anyone know how to remove historical AIM self-professed KSBs from my IPPSA STP? My STP shows several outdated KSBs from a previous AIM resume in both Cultural Experiences and Study Knowledge.  When I edit my AIM resume, I can see the old entries under "view Historical entries", but they are NOT on my current AIM resume, and have not been for years.
milsuite.mil/book/message/1024772

     c. UPDATING THE TN STATUS IN IPPS-A. I have been trying to go over the job data section to change a Soldier that returned from AIT and it did not transition over to IPPS-A? I know that there is a portion in job data at the bottom to change the Military codes, but I don't want to interfere with the assignments that are already there. Do I create a whole new row and change the action/reason type?
milsuite.mil/book/message/1023803

     d. APPROVED FROM RLAS BUT NOT ABLE TO ARRIVE SOLDIER. I have been trying to clear out the Temporary assignments that crossed over from the Brownout into IPPS-A. The Soldier did not attend and the orders were revoked prior. How can I clear that portion out, so the Soldier's status can be changed to arrive and move him to another UIC within the BN?

Subject: Academic Certificate Program Education Goal, Historical Tuition Assistance (TA) Request(s) and Evaluated Degree Plan 

1. Academic Certificate Programs Available in ArmyIgnitED

   a. Eligible Soldiers are now able to select the Academic Certificate Program Education Goal in the ArmyIgnitED System if they want to pursue an Academic Certificate. Soldiers are authorized one Academic Certificate per lifetime with a cap of 21 Semester Hours (SH). These 21 SH do not count against the lifetime caps of 130 SH for undergraduate and 39 SH for graduate.

   b. Soldiers are eligible to pursue an academic certificate if they do not have an approved degree education goal.

   c. Soldiers must submit an academic certificate degree plan when requesting an Academic Certificate Education Goal in the ArmyIgnitED System.

   d. Soldiers without an official/evaluated academic degree plan will have a blocker (hold) if they already have two approved courses on their education goal.

   e. If Soldiers have questions about the Academic Certificate Program Education Goal, they should reach out to their Education Center for more information.

2.  Historical Tuition Assistance Requests End Date: 30 June 2023!!

   a. Historical TA Requests. If Soldiers want to request tuition assistance for courses with start dates in FY21 or FY22 but were unable to request tuition assistance in the previous ArmyIgnitED system, Soldiers must provide proof of course completion to their Army Education Center and request a historical TA request. The documentation must include course code and title, course cost verification, course final grade, course start and end dates, Soldier name, and Academic Institution name. (NOTE: If Soldiers have already provided this information to their Education Center and requested the historical TA request, there is no requirement to do it again).  If Soldiers have any questions, they should contact their Education Counselor.  

   b. After the Education Counselor creates the historical TA request(s), Soldiers must go into their upgraded ArmyIgnitED account (https://www.armyignited.army.mil/student/public/welcome) and sign the historical TA request(s). Without the signature, schools are not able to invoice the Army for the TA requests, and this will create an outstanding balance on the Soldier’s school account.

   c.  Historical TA requests will no longer be accepted after 2359 EST on 30 June 2023.

3. Tuition Assistance Evaluated Degree Plan Requirement, Effective 1 August 2023

   a. Effective 1 August 2023, Soldiers using TA are required to provide an Evaluated Degree Plan upon submission of two TA funded courses. Soldiers without an Evaluated Degree Plan will have a TA blocker (hold) preventing Soldiers from requesting TA for future courses. Soldiers must provide their Evaluated Degree Plan to the education center prior to        1 August 2023 to avoid this TA blocker (hold).

   b. For questions about the Evaluated Degree Plan requirement, Soldiers should contact their Education Center.
