SPC Private RallyPoint Member8309784<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>So I went to my REASSIGNMENT office, and they said that I still don’t have my orders because on IPP-SA, it still says PCA(permanent change of assignment) instead of PCS(permanent change of station). I already went to my retention twice but it seems it is not helping at all. Should I just contact my branch manager? Or who should I contact?Who should I contact since IPP-SA has made a mess on my record?2023-06-03T09:03:17-04:00SPC Private RallyPoint Member8309784<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>So I went to my REASSIGNMENT office, and they said that I still don’t have my orders because on IPP-SA, it still says PCA(permanent change of assignment) instead of PCS(permanent change of station).

HRC is loading a PCA assignment for these Soldiers. This PCA assignment routes to the losing S1 Pool. There has been concern that S1s are approving PCS orders. If the assignment is loaded as a PCA, it is a non-funded order and the legacy paper order is the source document. The order published by IPPS-A should be ignored. HRC continues to publish guidance regarding frustrated assignments. Please see the latest guidance on S1Net*."<br /><br />Bottom line: You may be one of these Soldiers, in which case your MPD will need to cut a legacy order for you.<br /><br />However, if you are in fact PCSing and there isn't a legacy order saying so from your MPD, then per the general IPPS-A guidance you should contact the Quartermaster Branch of the Enlisted Personnel Management Directorate at HRC* - Specifically Mr. Gamble is the PVT-SPC Assignment Manager for 92Gs ( [login to see] ) - Make sure you include your full name and MOS in the subject line.<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />* IPPS-A Website - <a target="_blank" href="https://ipps-a.army.mil/update-pai-otss-pca-pcs-assignments-mobile-app-at-assignments-and-known-issues/">https://ipps-a.army.mil/update-pai-otss-pca-pcs-assignments-mobile-app-at-assignments-and-known-issues/</a><br />* S1Net latest guidance - <a target="_blank" href="https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1231447">https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1231447</a><br />* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.hrc.army.mil/content/QM%20Branch%20(Active%20Component)%20Contact%20Information">https://www.hrc.army.mil/content/QM%20Branch%20(Active%20Component)%20Contact%20Information</a> <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default">
