>                   (4)  JPAS reflects the appropriate security clearance eligibility. >           >            h. Soldiers with known, credible, significant derogatory information and reclassifying into another MOS requiring security clearance eligibility will not ship until appropriate clearance eligibility requirements for the new MOS have been met. >           >            i. All other Soldiers not identified above will ship to AIT. >           >            j.  Soldiers who do not have the appropriate security clearance eligibility to begin AIT, complete AIT, or be granted the MOS upon graduation as specified in the DA Pam 611-21, SMARTBOOK located at the Army Human Resources Command Web site https://smartbook.armyg1.pentagon.mil/default.aspx and ATRRS are considered security holds.  Security holds will be coded appropriately within ATRRS with the code "=."  Soldiers that have been granted final security clearance eligibility and subsequently lose the eligibility, for example, serious incident reports, will not be coded as ATRRS code "=."  See table 4-1. >         4-12. MOS retraining/reclassification policy >           >         TRADOC 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 IAW AR 635-200.  See appendix I for additional guidance on retraining/reclassification procedures. >           >         4-13. Separations >           >            a. 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 IAW AR 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 14 calendar days. >           >            c. 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 FTU is not counted toward those two weeks.  This will provide new Soldiers a fair adjustment period, and allows the command an opportunity to evaluate and counsel the Soldier.  However, commanders will ensure that highly disruptive Soldiers are removed from the platoon environment
