a. Programs have been developed to extract information from SIDPERS-ARNG to establish an RPAS master record on each new accession into the ARNG. If the new soldier has PS, the information for that PS must be recorded IAW paragraph 2-1a(1) above. The same programs will update the RPAS master record for any changes recorded since the previous ~date. b. Interfaces between Active Duty Automated Pay System (ADAPS), Joint Uniform Military Pay System - Reserve Components (JUMPS-RC), and Army Training Support Center (USATSC) Army CorrespondenceCourse Program (ACCP) have been developed for the automated input of retirement points earned through the performance of training as prescribed. ~dit programs have been developed to ensure the accuracy of this information. Any error listings produced must be reviewed for necessary action and correction. c. Any AD performed and not paid through ADAPS will have to be reviewed, and if necessary, manually recorded. Software developed by NGB will automaticallycalculate retirement points through the performance of AD, ADSW, ADT, or FTTD when the I~SI ]ms been changed from B1 to Bb, B4, or B7 through SIDPI~S-ARNG. d. Active Guard/Reserve (AGR) Personnel. Once an RPAS record has been established for a soldier serving under AGR Title I0 or Title 32, U.S.C., entries will be automatic at the end of each retirement year, or at the end of the soldier's tour. The entries will include membership points. The total points creditable for retired pay will not exceed the maximum allowed in paragraph 2-4 above. e. When an enlisted soldier formally enters ROTC/SMP, a closing entry will be made in the RPAS record and a new line entry opened. This entry will be through automated interfaces with SIDPERS-ARNGand will ermble an accurate recording of retirement points earned if he is commissioned from ROTC. If not commissioned, all retirement points earned while assigned to this program will be creditable for retired pay. f. Advisory messages concerning non-paid duty performance provided by JUMPS-RC must be reviewed. A/I non-paid retirement points earned under the rules shown in Table 2-5 and correspondencecourse programs not serviced by USATSC must be manually recorded. DA Pamphlet 351-20 lists all schools not serviced by USATSC. A remark will be made on DA Form 1579 in accordance with NGR 680-I indicating all non-paid retirement points earned, except those earned throngh correspondencecourse completion. Monthly, co~mmnders will provide a certificate to the SIB, listing all non-paid retirement points earned, for entry into the RPAS record. This certificate will be as directed by the MPMO.
