Personnel Officers and Warrant Officers are also responsible for ensuring correct data has been input into the eMILPO database in order for the Human Resources Command to have accurate data pertaining to Soldiers. These dates can affect Soldiers pay, promotions and jobs. It is vital that they are correct. Many Soldiers are not aware of service time that may be creditable towards their service dates, therefore it is important that the Soldiers in who compute these dates are knowledgeable of the rules pertaining to service dates and their computations. This will allow Soldiers to be confident that their records are being maintained accurately. INSTRUCTIONAL LEAD-IN: The individual Soldier has the primary responsibility for ensuring that his or her service dates are accurate. Human Resources Officers, Warrant Officers, and NCOs are also responsible for ensuring correct data has been input into the eMILPO databases in order for the Human Resources Command to have accurate data pertaining to Soldiers. These dates affect Soldiers pay, promotions and jobs. It is vital that they are correct. Many Soldiers are not aware of the service time that may be creditable towards their service dates, therefore it is important that Soldiers who are responsible to compute these dates are knowledgeable of the rules pertaining to service dates and their computations. This will allow Soldiers to focus on other missions, as they will be confident that their records are being maintained accurately.

LEARNING ACTIVITIES Lesson introduction Personnel accountability overview Personnel accountability eMILPO transactions eMILPO Unit Personnel Accountability Reports AHRS Enterprise Datastore ASSESSMENT Practical exercises. Students are required to complete a knowledge-based assessment delivered via the Blackboard Academic Suite and obtain a passing score of 70% or higher. SHOW SLIDE: Terminal Learning Objective SAFETY REQUIREMENTS: In a training environment, leaders must perform a risk assessment in accordance with DA PAM , Risk Management. Leaders will complete a DD Form 2977 Deliberate Risk Assessment Worksheet during the planning and completion of each task and sub-task by assessing mission, enemy, terrain and weather, troops and support available-time available and civil considerations, (METT-TC). Local policies and procedures must be followed during times of increased heat category in order to avoid heat related injury. Consider the work/rest cycles and water replacement guidelines IAW TRADOC Regulation Everyone is responsible for safety. No food or drink is allowed near or around electrical equipment (CPU, file servers, printers, projectors, etc.) due to possible electrical shock or damage to equipment. Exercise care in personal movement in and through such areas. Avoid all electrical cords and associated wiring. In event of electrical storm, you will be instructed to power down equipment. RISK ASSESSMENT LEVEL: Low ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS: Environmental protection is not just the law but the right thing to do. It is a continual process and starts with deliberate planning. Always be alert to ways to protect our environment during training and missions. In doing so, you will contribute to the sustainment of our training resources while protecting people and the environment from harmful effects. Refer to FM Environmental Considerations and GTA ENVIRONMENTAL-RELATED RISK ASSESSMENT. Instructional Guidance: Before presenting this lesson, instructors must thoroughly prepare by studying this lesson and identified reference materials. Throughout this lesson, solicit from students the challenges they experienced in the operational environment (OE) and what they did to resolve them. Encourage students to apply at least one of the critical variables: Political, Military, Economic, Social, Information, Infrastructure, Physical Environment and Time (PMESII-PT). NOTE: Army Learning Areas (ALA) are the baseline focal points Soldiers and Army Civilians must possess to prevail in the ambiguous environments that challenge the Army today. The four ALAs are: Army Profession and Leadership; Mission Command; Human Dimension; and Professional Competence. The Army Learning Area taxonomy provides a framework to assist in grouping the General Learning Outcomes. The four Army Learning Areas serve as the framework to catalogue the 14 General Learning Outcomes. The GLOs are essential outcomes resulting from training, education, and experience along a career continuum of learning. There are three primary purposes for the Army General Learning Outcomes. First, they provide trainers and educators a lens into how effective they are in conveying their support material. Second, it assists in improving instructional design and/or training support packages. Finally it places responsibility on training and education proponents to be nested with ALAs. ALA: Human Dimension embodies the cognitive, physical, and social components of the Army’s trusted professionals and teams. There are five GLOs for the Human Dimension ALA. GLO 7: Soldiers and Army Civilians demonstrate capacity in critical thinking. This GLO includes Applied Critical Thinking and Groupthink Mitigation, Strategic Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making. ALA: Professional Competence is the demonstrated technical and tactical proficiency in Army and joint doctrine largely revolving around the concept of ULO codified in ADP There are three GLOs for the Professional Competence ALA. GLO 13: Soldiers and Army Civilians support Army policies, programs and processes; includes Understanding and contributing to Army Systems that manage, develop, and transform the Army. GLO 14: Soldiers and Army Civilians are technically and tactically competent; includes Branch and Career Management Field proficiency, Career Programs, Series Technical Certifications, and Warfighting Skills.

FM 3-0, Operations, covers large scale combat operations. Once FM 1-0, Human Resources Support is updated and FM 4-0, Sustainment Operations is implemented, they will align with FM 3-0. Therefore, some of the information presented during this course may change. Until regulations change, the information presented is valid. Refer students to paragraph 1-4, to understand FM 3-0’s description of Large-scale combat operations. Large-scale combat operations are intense, lethal, and brutal. Their conditions include complexity, chaos, fear, violence, fatigue, and uncertainty. Future battlefields will include noncombatants, and they will be crowded in and around large cities. Enemies will employ conventional tactics, terror, criminal activity, and information warfare to further complicate operations. To an ever-increasing degree, activities in the information environment are inseparable from ground operations. Large-scale combat operations present the greatest challenge for Army forces. Refer students to FM 3-0, Operations, Figure 1-4. Figure l-4 shows the Army's strategic roles. FM 3-0 LSCO IAW Paragraph 1-143, During LSCO, deployments will be conducted at Corps level with Divisions, Brigades and other units as identified by the operational order, deploying in support of the Corps’ mission. This means Corps will be supporting a Theater Army Organization. During LSCO, Personnel Office Computations is a continuous that starts during SHAPE and continue throughout all strategic roles. Effective and MILPAY operations, contributes to units’ ability in executing their assigned mission. Review the definition of SHAPE to highlight its importance during LSCO and Personnel Office Computations. Emphasize that all the strategic roles are important; however, SHAPE will be reviewed because it ensures the successful execution of the other roles. Shape: paragraph 1-62. Army operations to shape bring together all the activities intended to promote regional stability and to set conditions for a favorable outcome in the event of a military confrontation. Army operations to shape help dissuade adversary activities designed to achieve regional goals short of military conflict. As part of operations to shape, the Army provides trained and ready forces to geographic combatant commanders (GCCs) in support of their theater campaign plan. The theater army and subordinate Army forces assist the GCC in building partner capacity and capability and promoting stability across the AOR. Army operations to shape are continuous throughout a GCC's AOR and occur before, during, and after a joint operation within a specific operational area. Refer Students to FM 3-0, Appendix A, Command and Support Relationships. Highlight to the students that your organization’s command and support relationships with other organizations are vital during LSCO. Depending on the deployment location and the mission the unit is supporting, units command relationships may change. Working with your unit’s S3/G3, can assist S1/G1 in identifying the reporting hierarchy (upper/lower echelons). An OPORD will identify a unit’s reporting hierarchy during a contingency operations. A-1. Establishing clear command and support relationships is a key aspect of any operation. Large-scale combat operations present unique and complex challenges that demand well defined command and support relationships among units. These relationships establish responsibilities and authorities between subordinate and supporting units. Some command and support relationships limit the commander's authority to prescribe additional relationships. Knowing the inherent responsibilities of each command and support relationship allows commanders to effectively organize their forces and helps supporting commanders understand their unit's role in the organizational structure.

Types of Service Dates Pay Entry Basic Date (PEBD)
Basic Active Service Date (BASD) Basic Enlisted Service Date (BESD) Expiration Term of Service (ETS) Date of Rank (DOR) SHOW SLIDE: TYPE OF SERVICE DATES Learning Step / Activity 1. Compute the Pay Entry Basic Date (PEBD), Basic Active Service Date (BASD), Basic Enlisted Service Date (BESD), Expiration of Term of Service (ETS), and Date of Rank (DOR) Method of Instruction: Conference / Discussion Instructor to Student Ratio: 1:32 Time of Instruction: 3 hrs Media: Large Group Instruction There are five service dates that are the basis or starting point for all service computations. It is important to understand what type of action each of these dates are tied to, as these dates will be used repeatedly throughout Soldiers careers for pay, promotions, certain assignments, and retirement. NOTE: Refer students to Handout #1, page 1. Briefly explain the following acronyms. Instruct students to follow along in the handout. (1) PAY ENTRY BASIC DATE (PEBD): The date from which a Soldier accrues creditable service for pay purposes. (2) BASIC ACTIVE SERVICE DATE (BASD): The date from which a Soldier accrues creditable Active Federal Service for retirement purposes. (3) BASIC ENLISTED SERVICE DATE (BESD): The date from which a Soldier accrues enlisted service. (4) EXPIRATION TERM OF SERVICE (ETS): The scheduled date on which a Soldier's statutory or contractual (whichever is the later) term of military service will end. The actual or adjusted date a Soldier’s enlistment, reenlistment, or extension expires. (5) DATE OF RANK (DOR): The actual or constructive date that the Soldier was promoted to a particular rank. NOTE: The various types of computations that apply to each service date and how to adjust these dates will be discussed in subsequent learning activities. Correct computations of service dates demand the highest integrity from those who are responsible to do the computations. Failure to correctly compute service dates could have an adverse effect on pay, promotion, and retirement.

Other Service Terms Contractual Service Statutory Service Discharge Release from Active Duty Retirement Separation SHOW SLIDE: Other Service Terms There are other service terms that will be identified before the discussion on computations begins. These are terms that are used frequently when addressing service computations and periods of service. (1) When Soldiers initially enlist into the military, they may have either an active duty commitment or a reserve commitment based on their contract. (2) Upon initial entry into the Army, Soldiers may have an active duty commitment based on their service contract. Soldiers may also be required to perform service in the Army Reserves and that service is either statutory or contractual. (a) CONTRACTUAL SERVICE: Each person who enlists or re-enlists in the U.S. Armed Forces executes a contractual agreement (DD Form 4-Enlistment/Reenlistment Contract) that establishes the terms of the service to be performed in the U.S. Armed Forces. The contractual agreement will run concurrently with any incurred statutory obligation. However, following termination of the statutory obligation, any subsequent military service that is performed is served according to the terms of a contractual agreement. (b) STATUTORY SERVICE: Under provisions of Title 10 USC 651, each person who becomes a member of the U.S. Armed Forces, either by enlistment, appointment, or induction, will serve in the U.S. Armed Forces for a total initial period of 8 years. Any part of such service that is not active duty (AD) will be performed in a Reserve Component (RC). A person's statutory military service obligation runs concurrently with a contractual military service obligation. (c) DISCHARGE: A complete severance from all military status gained by enlistment. (d) RELEASE FROM ACTIVE DUTY: Termination of AD status and transfer or reversion of a status to Reserve Soldier not on AD. Personnel enlisted or inducted who have a reserve obligation under Title 10 USC 651 or any other provision of the law are transferred to a US Army Reserve (USAR) Control Group. Unit members of the Army National Guard (ARNGUS) and USAR revert from an AD status to their components to complete unexpired enlistments or unfulfilled obligations. (e) SEPARATION: An all inclusive term applied to personnel action resulting from the release from active duty , discharge, retirement, being dropped from the rolls, release from military control of personnel without duty status, or death. (f) RETIREMENT: (20 year retirement law): A Soldier of the Regular Army (RA), ARNGUS, or the USAR who has completed 20, but less then 30, years of active federal service (AFS) in the U.S. Armed Forces may at the discretion of the Secretary of the Army be retired at their request. The Soldier must have completed all required service obligations at the time of retirement. (30 year retirement law): A RA Soldier who has completed at least 30 years of AFS in the U.S. Armed Forces will upon request be placed on the retired list. NOTE: Provide situational examples of the terms above using the contemporary operating environment. NOTE: Use scenarios to determine the students grasp of the concepts explained above: PVT Smith enlisted in the Army for three years. At the end of this term of service, he decides to get out. Is he discharged or released from AD? Answer: He is released from AD. The Soldier is issued a DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) releasing him from active duty, and he still has a five year obligation by his service contract. He can choose to join a reserve or guard unit or he will be assigned inactive ready reserve (IRR) status.

Creditable Service Periods
Regular Army (RA) or other active branches of service - It is always creditable for pay and active service Any Reserve Component (Active) – This category is assigned to reserve Soldiers on active duty with the Regular Army Any Reserve Component (Not on AD) - Any time spent in the Guard or Reserve, including DEP Army of the United States (IRR) – Individual Ready Reserve Service Academy and ROTC - Creditable for pay and active service SHOW SLIDE: Creditable Service Periods Another important area that will be discussed before beginning computations is creditable service. Creditable service is used to establish a Soldier's PEBD and BASD and to determine a Soldier's total active federal military service. Creditable service periods are those time periods that the Soldier is officially on active duty. (1) Paragraph , DOD R, lists the creditable service periods. (2) Paragraph , DOD R, explains computation of creditable service. When a Soldier has a break in service, the time between periods of service are not included when computing creditable service. It is this level of computation accuracy that is needed to prevent problems throughout a Soldier's career with pay, promotions and retirement. In order to determine periods of service that are creditable, it is necessary to understand the periods that are served in the AC versus RC. NOTE: Refer students to the Handout #1 and explain the following terms. (1) REGUALR ARMY (RA): Time spent in the RA is always creditable for pay and active service. It is also creditable for enlisted service if the Soldier was enlisted. (2) ARMY OF THE UNITED STATES RESERVE (USAR or AUS): This category is assigned to reserve officers on active duty with the Regular Army. It is creditable for pay and active service. (3) RESERVE COMPONENT ON ACTIVE DUTY (USAR (AD)/ARNG (AD)): Time spent in the Guard or Reserve on AD, AGR status, Annual Training (AT), and Active Duty Training (ADT) are examples of active duty time. Weekend drills do not count. Active duty orders must be published to account for this time. It is creditable for pay and enlisted service, if enlisted. (4) RERSERVE COMPONENT NOT ON ACTIVE DUTY (USAR/ARNG)- Any time spent in the Guard or Reserve. Active Army Delayed Entry Program (AADEP) time after 31 December 1984 is not creditable. It is not creditable for pay and enlisted service, if enlisted. (5) SERVICE ACADEMY and RESERVE OFFICER TRAINING CORPS (ROTC): Creditable for pay and active service if member is enlisted or warrant officer. It is not creditable for commissioned officers. NOTE: WO1s and 2LTs are normally in this status prior to enactment of the Warrant Officer Management Act/Defense Officer Personnel Management Act-1980 (WOMA/DOPMA). Service Academy and ROTC- Creditable for Pay and Active service if member is enlisted or warrant officer; is not creditable for commissioned officers.

Statement of Service (DA Form 1506)
Service dates are verified/computed by HR specialists Defense Finance and Accounting System (DFAS) is primarily responsible for adjusting the PEBD and the BASD Service periods and time lost are derived from source documents Service periods are verified against the Soldier’s pay/finance records SHOW SLIDE: STATEMENT OF SERVICE (DA FORM 1506) Learning Step / Activity 2. Verify a DA Form 1506 (Statement of Service) Method of Instruction: Conference / Discussion Instructor to Student Ratio: 1:36 Time of Instruction: 1 hr 10 mins Media: Large Group Instruction a. The Soldier's Human Resources office is responsible for providing and submitting a DA Form 1506 (Statement of Service- for Computation of Length of Service for Pay Purposes) when sufficient documentation is not readily available to substantiate the total creditable service time a Soldier has accrued for pay purposes. The form is completed and submitted through command channels to the Human Resources Center, Alexandria, VA, for verification of service which includes the PEBD, total active federal military service date, total commissioned federal military service date, and a variety of other dates, depending on the nature of the individual member’s service. b. Defense Finance and Accounting (DFAS) is primarily responsible for adjusting the PEBD and the BASD. The Human Resources personnel are responsible for verifying periods of service, knowing how to calculate the various dates, and completing the DA Form 1506. c. Soldiers periods of service are verified by appropriate documentation provided and presented by the Soldier for each period. Active duty orders by themselves are not sufficient source documents for verification purposes. Typical source documents include: (1) Pay vouchers (2) NGB Form 22 (National Guard Bureau Report of Separation and Record of Service) (3) DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) d. When a Soldier cannot produce sufficient documentation, the DA Form 1506 is sent to finance with a statement requesting service data be verified against the Soldier’s pay/finance records.

DA Form 1506 SHOW SLIDE: DA FORM 1506
e. The Statement of Service (DA Form 1506) is used to validate creditable military service and is completed in the following manner: (1) Item 1: Enter the name of the Soldier who the computation is for. (2) Item 2: Enter the social security number (SSN) of the Soldier who the computation is for. (3) Item 3: Enter complete mailing address of Unit Personnel Officer, if the member is on active duty, or of the Unit Commander if member is on active duty for training (ACDUTRA). (4) Item 4: Enter status and branch of the Soldier who the computation is for. (a) STATUS: Use IRR for Inactive Ready Reserve. (b) RES for Reserve Duty. (c) NG for National Guard Duty. (d) AGR for Active Guard Reserve Duty. (e) AD for Active Duty. (f) INACTIVE if no service obligation. (5) BRANCH: Use USA for U.S. Army. (a) USN for U.S. Navy. (b) USMC for U.S. Marine Corps. (c) USAF for U.S. Air Force. (d) USCG for U.S. Coast Guard. (6) Item 5: Enter a check mark in the corresponding box which represents Service member's grade category for each period of service. (7) Item 6: Enter the two digit year, two digit month, and two digit day which represents the service member's beginning date for each period of service. (8) Item 7: Enter the ending date for each period of service in the same format the beginning date was entered. (9) Item 8: Enter any Time Lost (if applicable). (10) Item 9: Enter the total number of years, months, and days for each period of service. (11) Item 10: No entry required. (12) Item 11a: Signature of the service member who the computation is for. (13) Item 11b: Enter the date the DA Form 1506 is signed by the Soldier. f. Once the DA Form 1506 reaches the FO/DMPO, the FO/DMPO will enter the correct BASD and PEBD in Item 12, sign in Item 19a, and enter the date in Item 19b if the form is correct. If an error is found, the FO/DMPO will return the form to the servicing Personnel Office so the correct service annotation can be made in Item 12, and the form returned to the action FO/DMPO.

Basic Computation Rules
When subtracting a date from a date always add “1” to obtain an inclusive date SHOW SLIDE: BASIC COMPUTATION RULES-RULE #1 g. There are three basic rules used for computation of service dates. NOTE: Refer students to Handout #1. (1) Rule #1- When subtracting a date from a date, always add "1“ day to make time frame inclusive. When subtracting a period of service from a date, DO NOT add "1“ day. When adding a period of service to obtain a Soldier’s ETS, always subtract “1“ day after performing the calculation. NOTE: Demonstrate by counting on your fingers why this is correct, and that the key word is “inclusive." NOTE: Give the students the following information to compute the total active duty time: PV1 Jones entered basic training 01 October Due to medical reasons the Soldier was released from active duty training 10 October How many days does the Soldier have on active duty training? NOTE: Allow students to work the problem before showing the next slide or writing the answer on the board.

RULE #1- Example Soldier released from ADT Soldier entered ADT Inclusive date Total days of Active Duty Time SHOW SLIDE: BASIC COMPUTATION RULES-RULE #1-EXAMPLE (2) Soldier released from ADT = Soldier entered ADT = 000009 Inclusive date Total days of Active Duty Time

RULE #2- Example Rule #2 Soldier Released from Active Duty Soldier Entered Active Duty Rule #1 = ( Total Period (YYMMDD)) SHOW SLIDE: BASIC COMPUTATION RULES-RULE #2-EXAMPLE

Basic Computation Rules RULE #3
If the ending date of a period of service is the last calendar day of the month (ex. 31st), change it to “30” If the ending date is in the last day of February (leap year or non- leap year) change to “30” SHOW SLIDE: BASIC COMPUTATION RULES-RULE #3 h. Rule #3- Personnel office computations are based on a 30 day month. However, some months have 31 days and February only has 28 or 29 days. When the ending date of a period of service is the last calendar day of the month, it must be changed to "30“. If the ending date is in the last day of February (leap year or non-leap year) change to “30”. i. A year is a leap year if it is divisible by 4, but century years are not leap years unless they are divisible by 4.

RULE #3- Example SHOW SLIDE: BASIC COMPUTATION RULES-RULE #3-EXAMPLE (30) Rule #3 Rule #1 Rule #2 = total time in service NOTE: At this time give the students the following examples to compute. Ensure students understand the basic computation rules.

Computing PEBD after a break in service
Step 1 – Calculate each period of service for pay purposes. Step 2 – Total each period of service for pay purposes together. Step 3 – Subtract your total period of service (Answer to step 2) from the current enlistment date. SHOW SLIDE: COMPUTING PEBD AFTER A BREAK IN SERVICE j. As defined previously, Pay Entry Basic Date (PEBD) is the actual or constructive date from which a Soldier accrues creditable service for pay. It includes all periods of active and reserve service. The PEBD is used to determine total length of service for pay purposes. The method used to compute or adjust the PEBD is: (1) Determine all periods of creditable service. (a) Use the example on page 7 of the handout. In this example, SFC Johnson has no prior service. When subtracting a date from a date, one day is added to determine the inclusive date.

SFC Johnson enlisted on 6 February He has no prior service. His PEBD is 6 February He was discharged on 16 July After a break in service, SFC Johnson reenlists on 29 September Example SHOW SLIDE: EXAMPLE, COMPUTING PEBD AFTER A BREAK IN SERVICE

Computing BASD after a break in service
Step 1 – Calculate each period of active federal (any time on active duty) service. Step 2 – Total each period of active federal service together. Step 3 – Subtract your total period of service (Answer to step 2) from the current enlistment date. SHOW SLIDE: COMPUTING BASD AFTER A BREAK IN SERVICE k. Basic Active Service Date (BASD)- This date indicates total Active Federal Service creditable for retirement. The BASD is the date of enlistment or induction minus Total Active Federal Service (AFS). The AFS includes any periods of Annual Training (AT) and Active Duty (AD) while in Reserve Status. (1) To adjust or compute the BASD you must determine all periods of active service. (2) Compute each period of service using the three computation rules. Add the periods together and subtract the total from the beginning date of the last continuous period of active service (current period). (3) Adjust any lost time on a day-by-day basis.

Example SGT Brandon Smith enlisted in the ARNG on 21 May He attended Basic Training and Advanced Individual Training from 21 May 2000 until 2 Sep After BT/AIT, he served in the ARNG until he was ordered to active duty on 9 Jan He remained on active duty until 20 May 2006 at which time he is released from active duty.

Basic Enlisted Service Date (BESD) – The actual or constructive date a Soldier accrues enlisted service both active and reserve. This date is used to establish the eight and ten year enlisted service requirement for promotion to MSG and SGM respectively (1) To compute or adjust the BESD you must determine all periods of enlisted service. (2) Compute each period of enlisted service, total them and subtract the total from the beginning date of the last continuous period of enlisted service (current period). (3) Adjust for lost time on a day-by-day basis.

Computing DOR after a break in service
Step 1 – Determine current enlistment grade. Step 2 - Calculate each period of service in the current enlistment grade or higher that was served on active duty. DO NOT include guard/reserve time. Pay attention to year group as it may affect eligibility for promotion board. Step 3 – Total each period of service together. Step 4 – Subtract your total period of service (Answer to step 3) from the current enlistment date. * The DOR can only be adjusted once for each break in service. SHOW SLIDE: COMPUTING DOR AFTER A BREAK IN SERVICE m. Date of Rank (DOR)- There are several things we need to remember about the Date of Rank. It is established by: (1) Enlisted promoting instrument- DOR is the date designated or the date of the promotion instrument. (2) The DOR may be adjusted due to a reduction for either inefficiency, misconduct, break in service, or lost time. (a) An enlisted Soldier may be reduced one grade for inefficiency, providing the Soldier has been in the same unit for 90 days. (b) The effective date is the date the Soldier is informed of the reduction (c) The Soldier’s date of rank is adjusted to the date of rank previously held for the grade to which reduced. (d) A Soldier may be reduced one or more grades as the result of a Article 15 (UCMJ) or Court Martial (MCM). (e) The effective date is the date the commander imposes the Article 15 or the date the court martial authority approved the sentence. (f) The DOR is adjusted to the same date as the effective date. (3) The Human Resources Center can adjust a Soldier’s DOR, giving credit for active service prior to the break. HRC will make the determination for any reserve component service. (a) The DOR is adjusted by giving the Soldier credit for any time successfully served in the same grade, or higher grade during any period prior to the break in service.

Example SPC Jones was promoted to SGT 1 April He is promoted to SSG 1 September He was released from active duty on 31 March He reenlisted 10 June 2011 as a SGT. The Soldier is given credit for the TIMIG as SGT and SSG. SHOW SLIDE: EXAMPLE, COMPUTING DOR AFTER A BREAK IN SERVICE

Step 1 – Determine Date of Enlistment. Step 2 – Determine years and weeks of enlistment. Step 3 - Add total number of years and weeks to date of enlistment. Step 4 – Subtract one day to determine Soldiers ETS date. SHOW SLIDE: EXAMPLE, COMPUTING DOR AFTER A BREAK IN SERVICE n. Expiration of Term of Service (ETS) – The actual date a Soldier’s enlistment, reenlistment, or extension expires. This date is used to establish the date for preparing the Soldier for reenlistment, release from active duty, or discharge. (1) To establish a Soldier’s ETS, determine the date of enlistment, reenlistment, extension, and the term of service. (2) When adding the term of service to the date of enlistment, reenlistment or extension, subtract one day to compensate for the inclusive day. (3) If the Soldier has any lost time, the ETS date will be adjusted in the same manner as discussed for all the previous service dates.

Basic Office Computation
LOST TIME SHOW SLIDE: LOST TIME

Types of Lost Time AWOL – Absent Without Leave Pay and Service Civilian Confinement Military Confinement Pay and Service if convicted SHOW SLIDE: TYPES OF LOST TIME NOTE: Refer students to Handout #1. a. Service dates are adjusted under certain circumstances such as breaks in service, breaks in active duty, change in status (enlisted to officer and vice-versa), and for time lost. There are three types of lost time that mandate adjustment of several of the service periods. To account for the lost time, computations are made to adjust the service dates by adding time back to the Soldier's ETS date. LOST TIME: Absence from the unit or organization for more than 24 hours without authorization, confinement for more than 24 hours, or not having the ability to perform duties as a result of misconduct. The different types of lost time are: (a) ABSENT WITHOUT LEAVE (AWOL): If a Soldier is AWOL for more than 24 hours, service dates are adjusted for the PEBD, BASD, BESD (if enlisted) and the ETS date. (b) CIVILIAN CONFINEMENT: If a Soldier has been confined to a civilian jail facility, service dates are adjusted for PEBD, BASD, BESD (if enlisted) and the ETS DATE. (c) MILITARY CONFINEMENT: If a Soldier has been confined to a military confinement facility, service dates are adjusted for PEBD, BASD, BESD (if enlisted) and the ETS DATE, if the Soldier is convicted. NOTE: Whenever a Soldier has lost time a DA Form 4187 (Personnel Action Form) will be produced to change his/her duty status. Example: from present for duty (PDY) to AWOL effective 1 Mar 1992. (2) Appropriate documentation must be presented by the Soldier to verify each period of service. Typical source documents include: Pay vouchers, NGB Form 22 (National Guard Bureau Report of Separation and Record of Service), DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty). Active duty orders in and by themselves are not sufficient source documents for verification purposes. (When in doubt always call HRC for confirmation). If a Soldier cannot produce sufficient documentation, the STATEMENT OF SERVICE - FOR COMPUTATION OF LENGTH OF SERVICE FOR PAY PURPOSES (DA Form 1506) is sent to finance with a statement requesting it be verified against finance records. Reference: DOD FMR (B), pg 1-10/1-11/1-30

LOST TIME When calculating Lost Time, two calculations are computed. It is computed as discussed in the previous learning activity (30 day month) and by the day- by- day method. The day the Soldier is reported AWOL is the first day of lost time and the day the Soldier returns is a day of duty. SHOW SLIDE: TYPES OF LOST TIME b. Explain the rules to calculating lost time. Refer students to Tables 1-12/1-14 for further reference. See Tables 1-12/1-14

LOST TIME PV1 Maxwell was reported AWOL 28 July He returned to his unit 4 August How much lost time did he incur? *Remember to calculate both the Day-by-Day method and 30 Day month method but use the result that is more advantageous to the Soldier. SHOW SLIDE: EXAMPLE, TYPES OF LOST TIME

PV1 Rogers was reported AWOL 28 February He returned to his unit 2 March How much time lost does the Soldier incur? SHOW SLIDE: CHECK ON LEARNING February 2 days (leap year) Most advantageous- 9 days March days days + 1 10 days February 1 day March days Most advantageous- 2 days days +1 4 days

Check on Learning Q. What is the rule for determining lost time? A. To calculate both the Day-by-Day method and 30 Day month method but use the result that is more advantageous to the Soldier. Q. How can you easily determine if a particular year is a leap year? A. If you divide the last two digits of the year by 4, that year is a leap year. SHOW SLIDE: CHECK ON LEARNING

SUMMARY Officer promotions are a vital component of the functions of the AG branch. It facilitates the progression of officer to jobs of increasing skill, expertise, and responsibility, while providing them with the background to enable their success at these future grades and jobs. It is a system that requires constant monitoring, especially the decentralized one. It is important to know when boards occur and when officers are eligible for promotion to ensure that they are prepared and have provided the appropriate information for promotion selection. 100% accuracy is the minimum standard as no one, including you, wants to be the one who failed to be notified or prepared for a promotion board.
