INFORMATION REQUIRED BY THE PRIVACY ACT

Title 10 USC Section 270, 10 USC 511, 10 USC 673a, and Executive Order 9397, 22 November

AUTHORITY:

1943.

To explain additional obligations and requirements imposed as a result of this specific option and to

PRINCIPAL PURPOSE:

insure that your agreement to these conditions is a matter of record.

ROUTINE USES:

Confirmation of obligations and requirements incurred under this option; occasionally as a basis for

retraining in an alternate MOS if training requirements are not met.

DISCLOSURE:

Disclosure of your SSN is voluntary; however, if not provided you will not be accepted into the

program.

THIS FORM WILL BE COMPLETED FOR EACH APPLICANT ENLISTING FOR THE ALTERNATIVE

TRAINING PROGRAM AND MUST BE FIRMLY ATTACHED TO EACH COPY OF THE DA FORM 3540.

1. I understand that enlistment for the Alternate Training Program provides that:

a. I must enter on Initial Active Duty for Training to undergo the common basic training program at an active military

installation.

b. If I fail to successfully complete the basic training program I will be discharged from the US Army Reserve.

c. Upon successful completion of the basic training program I will be released from Active Duty for Training and be

permitted to return to civilian status. I will then immediately commence training with my assigned troop program unit in a

paid drill status. During this period I am not required to attend Annual Training with my unit, but I may volunteer to attend

Annual Training, and may do so if authorized by my unit commander.

d. Within one year of the last day of my separation from Active Duty for Training (after successful completion of basic

training) I will be required to again enter on Active Duty for Training to successfully complete Advanced Individual Training

resulting in qualification in a Military Occupational Speciality (MOS). The period I will be required to remain on Active Duty

for Training to successfully complete Advanced Individual Training will be dependent upon the skill or speciality in which I

am to be trained.

e. If for any reason I am unable to successfully complete Advanced Individual Training during the period for which I was

ordered on Active Duty for Training, then I agree to:

(1) Remain on Active Duty for Training for such additional period as is required to become qualified in my selected

Military Occupational Speciality, or

(2) I will accept training in an alternate Military Occupational Speciality, if offered, and will remain on Active Duty for

Training for such additional period as may be required to complete such training and become qualified in the alternate

Military Occupational Speciality.

2. I understand that both periods of Active Duty for Training (basic training and Advanced Individual Training) are considered

Initial Active Duty for Training and the minimum period of time I must spend on Active Duty for Training (basic and

Advanced Individual Training, combined) is 12 weeks.

3. I understand that Time in Grade for promotion to pay grade E-2 begins upon entry on the first Active Duty for Training

period (basic training). I may not be promoted to pay grade E-2 until 180 days subsequent to entry on Active Duty for

basic training. I cannot be promoted to pay grade E-3 or above, until I have successfully completed Advanced Individual

Training, been awarded a Military Occupational Speciality (MOS), and otherwise meet the promotion requirements of

AR 140-158.

4. I further understand that I may not voluntarily change my selected Military Occupational Speciality (MOS) after the

reservation for entry on Active Duty for Training to undergo Advanced Individual Training has been confirmed.

5. I understand that under current provisions of law I will not satisfy my draft obligations unless I complete six years of

satisfactory service as a member of the Ready Reserve or National Guard and, during such service, complete 12 consecutive

weeks of active duty for training with an armed force (even though I complete all required training following enlistment

in the Split Training Program).

6. I understand that I am not entitled to Veterans' reemployment benefits if my initial period of active duty for training is

less than 3 consecutive months.

I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT I CANNOT COMPLETE BASIC TRAINING AND ADVANCED INDIVIDUAL TRAINING DURING ONE

CONTINUOUS PERIOD BECAUSE OF A SCHOOL OR SEASONAL EMPLOYMENT CONFLICT AND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THE

ALTERNATE TRAINING PROGRAM OUTLINED ON THIS ADDENDUM HAVE BEEN FULLY READ AND EXPLAINED TO ME, ANY

QUESTIONS THAT I HAD RELATIVE TO THIS PROGRAM HAVE BEEN SATISFACTORILY ANSWERED, AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT

THE ALTERNATE TRAINING PROGRAM POLICY, AS DESCRIBED IN THIS ADDENDUM, PROVIDES FOR ME UPON ENLISTMENT.
