4-10. Separationsa. Attaining Army standards is the gauge for successful completion of IET. Commanders will exhaust retraining and counseling procedures before making a determination that a Soldier’s performance and potential justify a new start or separation from the service. Commanders will not begin any separation actions against a Reserve component (RC) Soldier prior to the local ARNG/ USAR liaison personnel counseling the Soldier. b. Separation of all Soldiers will be in accordance with Army Regulation 635-200 and any other applicable separation provisions. Once the company commander notifies the Soldier that separation action (for example, chapter 11) has been initiated, the Soldier will be discharged within 30 calendar days. c. Trainee/Soldiers in BCT/OSUT normally are not separated for reasons of lack of motivation or aptitude prior to completion of their second week of training. Time spent in the fitness training unit (FTU) is not counted toward those two weeks. This will provide new trainees a fair adjustment period, and allows the command an opportunity to evaluate and counsel the trainee. However, commanders will ensure that highly disruptive trainees are removed from the platoon environment and the appropriate administrative or disciplinary actions are taken. d. Medical conditions that existed prior to service (EPTS). (1) In the course of evaluation for an injury or condition, it may be revealed that the trainee was not medically qualified under procurement medical fitness standards. If the chain of command and medical authorities determine the trainee entered the service with a medical condition that prevents full participation in IET training activities, the trainee may be separated in accordance with Army Regulation 635-200, paragraph 5-11. This provision is applicable only if the condition is discovered within the first six months of the Soldier’s enlistment, and the Soldier provides reasonable proof (copy of medical records, sworn statements from parents, etc.) that the injury EPTS. (2) The EPTS separation process should not be utilized if the trainee received a waiver for the same condition, unless the condition changes and there is a significant safety concern related to the change or condition that prevents the trainee from completing training in any MOS, and appropriate medical authority determines that the condition is not remediable within a reasonable period of time. e. Commanders will utilize guidance in Army Regulation 635-200, paragraph 11-3b and 5-11d for pregnant Trainee/Soldiers. f. Chapter 11, Entry Level Performance and Conduct Separations. Prior service AA Soldiers may be discharged for unsatisfactory performance or misconduct under "entry level" status, if they had a break in service of greater than 92 days (per Army Regulation 635-200, Glossary, Section II Terms). For RC Soldiers, "entry level" status terminates 90 days after beginning split training option (STO) phase II or 180 days after entering IET for non-STO Soldiers. 4-11. Transportation of basic combat training (BCT) graduates to AIT locationsa. BCT graduates may travel to AIT locations through various means of transportation, including with family members in POVs. As such, the gaining AIT locations must have a clear understanding of which Soldiers are arriving at what time and by what means of transportation. The gaining AIT unit must ensure they have cadre available at the transportation nodes at the proper time to ensure these IET Soldiers are properly received and transported to their new training unit.
a. Policy and procedures for processing conscientious objectors are provided in Army Regulation 600-43. Retain Soldiers that have submitted applications in their unit, and assign duties providing minimum practicable conflict with their asserted beliefs, pending final decision on their applications. They are not required to train in the study, use, or handling of arms or weapons. b. The Soldier is not precluded from taking part in those aspects of training that do not involve the bearing or use of arms, weapons, or munitions. Except for this restriction, conscientious objector applicants are subject to all military orders, discipline, and regulations, to include those on training. 4-13. Reclassified/MOS trained/prior service Soldiersa. Reclassified/MOS trained and prior service Soldiers are those individuals, in any grade, who have previously completed IET and are attending skill level 1 training in IET units as a result of reclassification or enlistment actions. Reclassified and prior service Soldiers are not considered IET Soldiers; however, they are assigned to IET units. This definition does not apply to those Soldiers who failed to complete the requirements for the award of a MOS as part of the initial IET process. Reclassified and prior service Soldiers must meet all course requirements for graduation (APFT, etc.) and are subject to IET policies, unless otherwise stipulated in this regulation. b. Policy. (1) Prior service personnel entering the Active Army are not required to attend BCT if they completed Army or USMC basic training, or completed training for U.S. Air Force (USAF) or USN Special Operations Forces, or USAF Security Police, and have less than a 3-year break in service. (AR 350-1, dated, Aug 14) (2) Prior service personnel entering the AC will attend Army BCT if they have not completed Army or USMC basic training, or completed training for USAF or USN Special Operations Forces, or USAF Security Police, and have more than a 3-year break in service. (AR 350-1, dated, Aug 14) (3) Prior service personnel are not considered IET Soldiers but will comply with applicable regulations, standards, and training requirements. (4) Prior service personnel who enlist for an MOS held during their previous enlistment and have less than a 3 year break in service are assigned directly to operational units. (5) Prior service personnel who enlist for a MOS not previously held, and have less than a 3 year break in service will attend AIT in the new MOS. If the new MOS is taught in the OSUT mode, the individual Soldier will enter training at a point in training where the AIT portion of the instruction starts and continue until all MOS training is accomplished. c. Treatment. (1) Prior service personnel in the pay grade of E-1 through E-4 should be offered non-IET barracks if available and feasible. If not, they may be billeted with the general IET population. (2) Prior service personnel in the pay grade of E-5 to E-9 are billeted separately from other IET Soldiers. Prior service NCOs are billeted in a separate building when possible. If a separate building is not available, then on a different floor of an IET barracks. If a different floor within the building is not possible, then within a separate room (not in an open bay). Prior service NCOs may be billeted with IET Soldiers as a last resort with approval of the TRADOC CIMT. Requests should be submitted in memorandum format. Billeting NCOs with IET Soldiers is not the intent and should be a last resort. (3) The billeting of prior service NCOs also applies to reception battalions. Reception battalions will immediately identify prior service personnel and ensure the gaining BCT/OSUT units are informed of the prior service personnel’s status, rank, pay grade, and billeting standards. If necessary, prior service BCT/OSUT NCOs may be housed in AIT facilities. (4) Privileges for reclassified and prior service personnel. (a) Although reclassified Soldiers are subject to IET policies and procedures, their privileges should be the same as those of permanent party members of equal grade. They are treated with the dignity and respect due their grade. (b) The unit commander determines specific privileges based on such factors as grade, training performance, self-discipline, motivation, and conduct. (c) Fraternization between reclassified, prior service Soldiers, IET Soldiers, and cadre is forbidden in accordance with Army regulation 600-20, paragraph 4-14b. d. Duties/responsibilities. (1) Commanders may take advantage of the experience and leadership abilities of reclassified and prior service Soldiers, and use them to augment their cadre. However, the primary duty of reclassified and prior service Soldiers is to attend training and become technically proficient in their new MOS. (2) Prior service NCOs in training may assist with IET Soldiers with regular cadre oversight after appropriate orientation and certification by the unit commander/first sergeant on TRADOC policy regarding leadership and treatment of IET Soldiers. (3) AIT/OSUT commanders will evaluate each PS Soldier's proficiency in all areas (not just MOS subjects) and ensure training is provided, as required. Use reclassified and prior service Soldiers who are proficient in common tasks as demonstrators and assistant instructors. (4) Commanders are encouraged to integrate reclassified and prior service personnel with IET Soldiers during training to enhance training by taking advantage of their knowledge, experience, and leadership abilities. e. This paragraph is not applicable to individual ready reserve (IRR) Soldiers reactivated to military service. Utilize the guidelines outlined in the IRR mobilization (MOB) training strategy (appendix J).
