If any postings to a field unit prior to 01 Apr 07 counts I should be sitting at approx 90 points, although not much chance of going back to a field unit being in the Air Force now. Oh well can't lose what I did not have.
ArmyVern said:It works the same way for Reg&ResF (except for the NavRes - they are in a world of their own & I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or a bad thing).
The MPRR and the UER are two different things.
What is listed on the MPRR is the member's posting/assignment history. That is:
- Postings,
- Attached Postings;
- Operations.
Within your UER (the Unit Employment Record!!), there are four (4) different coloured sheets onto which are recorded:
1. Qualification Record Sheet (This sheet identifies your promotions and other qualifications)
2. Miscellaneous Entries Sheet (This sheet identifies quals with no specific codes such as "Life Skills", "Spill response", annual BFT, Annual PWT)
3. Qualification Summary Supplemental (This sheet identifies specific "Trade" qualifications)
4. Employment History Record Sheet (This sheet records all of your employment History throughout your career. It records all information about postings, including exercises and change in rank or position. Each section you worked in, each ex you participated on, each tasking you did from "start date" to "end Date"). <--- It is SOP to review this file with your supervisor to ensure it is updated, and I suggest to you, that if you have never been asked by any of your supervisors to sit in for a "UER Review" that you approach them and ask for one - sooner rather than later.

Bit of confusion to my question last Friday. I was wondering how they were going to allocate the points for figuring the level that each person would be at. I know the directive is 10 Days Field time = 1 month, one month equals one point, 3 points in a year...ect. I was wondering or under the impression that they would be trying to sort out how much previous Field time we had. ( personally I thought that would be a dead end road as the records are not accurate enough for that ) Unless your George who has every pay statement he ever got, starting with the stone tablet. Anyhow I now have that sorted out and sorry if I missed something already posted.
But by happenstance I had the Chief in charge of the project over for dinner last night ( Friends of my wife ) So here is a bit of a update on the allowance.
-Do not expect this to kick in until April 09. ( they are pedal to the metal to meet that date now and expect a Canforgen in a week or two on it. )
-Any time in a Field unit that meets the criteria will count 1 point per month there. as long as you spent at least 10 days of that month it will count.
-It of course stops when your deployed
- Reserves do not get it yet if a reservist is attached to a Field unit they will get it ( i.e work up Trg )
-your Retro will be 2 years ( plus or minus depending on when it comes out ) and it will be at what your current point level is at.
-The allowance and retro will be taxed of course but care should be taken since in many cases the lump sum will put you in a higher tax bracket and not enough tax may of been removed.
-Anyone posted or attached to a Field unit meets the requirements to receive the allowance.
-Clerks can expect a briefing/ Q&A session before to long ( I will give dates once I get them ) This will be done to the Major Bases, Gagetown, Valcartier, Pet, Kingstong ( I asked about that too ) in the First week, and out West the Second Week.
- There will be a general Brief / Q&A done at that time by the chief.
- He will ( if he remembers) try to get me a advance copy of the program and it's implementation to vet for FAQ from my troops. I will ask if he minds if I also use this Forum to get more FAQ's. I already went over some of them that came to me at the time.
Eye In The Sky said:Seems straight forward enough...
One question...(I am in the 'blue' world now...) are people still receiving FOA until Apr 09, or when was the cut off date that FOA ceases?
helpup said:I don't know the exact dates for the Cut off. My unit still takes the FOA information and pays it out. That is being tallied against the retro amount as Vern pointed out. FOA is still going to be around as other trades do hit the Field for Trg and not to mention the Reserves right now are not entitled to LDA unless they are working for a Reg Force " entitled" unit.
George Wallace said:You will also find that much of it should be listed on your MPRR. If you were deployed on an OP or major Exercise, it will show up on your MPRR.
CountDC said:now that one kills me - SHOULD is certainly the operative word there. Can't even count the number of times I have had to search through pers files, pay records and have the member provide proof because something was missing from the MPRR/PERS. For some reason that I fail to understand there are some people out there that would/will not always publish an attach posting into the system nor would/will the member submit it for correction on their MPRR confirmation. The answer when I have asked is always the same - I didn't think it was that important!!
Advice to all: Check your MPRR and make the corrections, submit it every month and go up the chain if you have to as these things do affect your career and future pay. Also review your pers file itself to make sure everything that should be there is and things that don't belong are removed. MPRR review should be done as often as possible (can be checked in EMAA), pers file yearly. Waiting until you are on a tasking out of country is not the time to deal with this stuff.
helpup said:And that was the point I made earlier when I was under the impression they were going to try and base the LDA level off of the history of FOA each person had. The system is not set up for that and they are not doing that. But as was pointed out even sorting out a persons MPRR for accurate time in a Unit and all the postings, deployments and the like leaves allot to be desired. It is a individuals responsibility to keep up on it especially well before they come out with the tables. RMS Clerks are going be busy enough handling the normal inquiries let alone people who have left it until the last min.
