4-14. MOS retraining/reclassification policyTRADOC IET retraining/reclassification policy is as follows: a. A Soldier unable to qualify for their current MOS assignment, due to medical limitations, academic failure, or administrative requirements may be considered for retention in the Army and qualify for reclassification skill training in an alternate MOS, based on the company commander’s recommendation and the battalion commander’s approval. The Soldier must demonstrate the motivation and potential to successfully complete the reclassification MOS training. b. In all other cases, properly counsel and process Soldiers for separation not meeting academic standards in accordance with Army regulation 635-200. See appendix I for additional guidance on retraining/reclassification procedures. 4-15. Promotions, awards, and competitionsa. Commanders will conduct promotions of graduating AIT students in accordance with Army Regulation 600-8-19 paragraph 7-13 (this includes USAR/ARNG Soldiers). b. Commanders are strongly encouraged to utilize meritorious promotion authority granted in Army regulation 600-8-19 paragraph 2-3h(3) to the maximum extent possible. c. Commanders should establish a comprehensive award system within each TRADOC service school and ATC. This system should provide recognition for both IET Soldiers and cadre personnel. Any award program must meet the requirements of Army regulation 600-8-22, Army Regulation 672-10, and TR 672-6. d. Commanders are strongly encouraged to implement inter-unit competitions to instill the warrior spirit. Soldiers and units are to compete against common standards, rather than against each other, unless conducting obvious head-to-head competition such as physical fitness courses, combatives, drill and ceremony, etc. Competition should recognize each Soldier or unit that meets or exceeds the standards. All levels of command must constantly monitor competitive programs and ensure that competition supports, rather than detracts from training objectives. Take care to ensure statistics do not assume major importance and create undue pressure on the IET Soldier or the cadre. 4-16. Holiday block leaveHQ TRADOC will establish and announce the training policy for holiday block leave based on annual guidance HQDA publishes for the holiday season. The HQ TRADOC POC for holiday block leave is USACIMT (ATMT-OP), Building 210, Dillon Circle, Fort Eustis, VA 23604-5701. Commanders will conduct drug testing on 100 percent (all) of the Soldiers that participate in Holiday block leave (to include IET Soldiers not participating in holiday block leave). 4-17. AIT squad leader roles and dutiesSquad leaders are valuable assets to the training and leadership team in AIT. They are instructors that assist AIT PSGs in leading and continuing to develop Soldiers. Squad leaders will be fully integrated into all aspects of the AIT daily mission. They serve as a first line leader and augment the efforts of the AIT PSG. Squad leaders will assist the PSG in conducting formations, physical training, counseling, administrative tasks, inspections and all aspects of the transformation process. Instructors are assigned the additional duty of squad leader and are charged with, but not limited to, the following responsibilities. a. Trains squad on individual and collective tasks. b.

Stored Value Card ProgramThe stored value card is a debit card used to purchase personal items needed to complete Basic and OSUT. The value of the card is based on historical costs for personal items needed to meet and maintain personal hygiene during the training cycle. This is an advance pay on the Trainee/Soldier’s first paycheck. Funds are allocated to every Trainee/Soldier to ensure no financial burden is placed on Trainee/Soldiers during the training cycle. Leaders will ensure cadre and Trainee/Soldiers adhere to the following guidelines: a. All Trainee/Soldiers will be issued the Stored Value Card while processing through the Reception Battalion. b. Commanders will ensure all Trainee/Soldiers receive training on the use of this card and procedures to increase value or reimbursement if a card has value attached at the end of the training cycle or receiving a discharge prior to completion of training. c. The stored value card can be used at all Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) sites (barber shop, hair salon, clothing sales, and Post Exchange). d. The stored value card has a default expiration date of 45 days from issue. However, installations have the authority to adjust expirations dates to meet the requirements of their training mission. If the expiration date needs to be adjusted, the unit commander will contact the local DFAS to make changes. e. Upon arriving at the basic training company, commanders will ensure all Trainee/Soldiers receive a briefing during the unit integration on the stored value card, how to use the card, where it can be used, and how to redeem balance upon graduation or separation. f. The stored value card closeout will be added to the out processing checklist for all Soldiers graduating or separating from the installation. g. At no time will cadre or Drill Sergeants handle a Trainee/Soldier’s stored value card. h. Training will be provided to cadre during Drill Sergeant School, Company Commander and First Sergeant Course, Cadre Training Course; or the Pre-command Course. i. Commanders will ensure all Trainee/Soldiers liquidate their balances on their stored value cards prior to departure.
