Can I get an ASI added to IPPSA after completing Simulation correspondence courses? If so, will I receive points for the ASI?

So I recently just completed the SIMULATION (S7) and the MODELING AND SIMULATION BASICS COURSE for correspondence hours I heard you can get it added on as a ASI on ippsa as well is this true and if so will I receive points for the ASI as well or no since I already received points for doing the correspondence courses itself?

No. The S7 skill identifier (SI .. not to be confused with ASI) is given to officers that complete the course. There isn't a corresponding ASI/SQI for the enlisted side.
Side note: this isn't a case of "enlisted v officer discrimination". While enlisted can complete the course, the course is to address the requirements of S7 coded positions which require the individual to presses detailed knowledge of simulation operations. These positions are predominantly Bn/Bde S3 or assistant S3 positions in BCTs.
You'll still get the points from completing the DL course.

When he said there was an enlisted ASI, I was confused. I work in the same building at the National Sim Center and one rarely sees enlisted soldiers.
